This year, 10 new winners stood head and shoulders above thousands of other nominees (候选人). Let’s take a look at their bizarre (奇异的) scientific achievements. Zombie spiders Spiders move their legs through a hydraulic (液压的) system in their bodies. The brain controls the blood to flow into the legs so that the legs can reach out and contract (收缩). That’s why you see a spider curl up (蜷缩) its legs after dying. Based on this, Te Faye Yap and her team from Rice University in the US turned a dead spider into a robot. By controlling air pressure inside the body, the zombie spider can grasp and move things on a small scale. This zombie (僵尸) spider robot won the mechanical engineering prize at the Ig Nobel. The Stanford smart toilet Seung-min Park from Stanford University received the public health prize for developing a smart toilet. It recognizes users by reading their anal print (肛纹). It checks the color of users’ urine (尿液) and records the urine’s release speed and volume. It also checks poo through a model using deep learning. The winner said the smart toilet might contribute to disease screening, diagnosis (诊断) and monitoring. Jamais vu The literature prize goes to Chris Moulin and his team for studying how people feel when they repeat a word many times. If you repeat a simple word like “the” tens of times, you might find the word becomes unfamiliar and strange. This phenomenon is called jamais vu, a fleeting (短暂的) feeling of unfamiliarity with things we have seen before. Moulin’s team conducted an experiment with students from the University of Leeds, UK. They required the students to repeat a word many times. Some participants felt that the word lost its meaning. Some said they suddenly felt unfamiliar with the word. Two-thirds of participants reported this phenomenon after repeating it 30 times. 4. What do we know about the zombie spider robot? A. It moves when a person touches it. B. It is made from a real spider body. C. Its movements are controlled by blood pressure. D. A hydraulic system was put in its body. 5. What might be one of the functions of the smart toilet? A. Measuring body temperature. B. Identifying users by their toilet use. C. Detecting potential diseases. D. Improving users’ bathroom habits. 6. What is the main focus of Moulin and his team’s research? A. The impact of word repetition on memory. B. The effects of memory loss on word recognition. C. College students’ strategies for word memorization. D. Emotional responses to unfamiliar words. 7. Which of the following best describes the phenomenon called “jamais vu”? A. A sudden loss of memory. B. A sense of familiarity with new experiences. C. Memory improvement due to repetition. D. A brief feeling of unfamiliarity with familiar things. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了今年搞笑诺贝尔奖的部分获奖成果，包括将死蜘蛛变成机器人的机械工程奖成果、能检测疾病的斯坦福智能马桶的公共卫生奖成果，以及研究重复单词引发陌生感现象的文学奖成果，这些成果既有趣又引人思考。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Based on this, Te Faye Yap and her team from Rice University in the US turned a dead spider into a robot.(基于此，美国莱斯大学的叶德菲及其团队将一只死蜘蛛变成了一个机器人)”可知，僵尸蜘蛛机器人是由真正的蜘蛛身体制成的，故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The winner said the smart toilet might contribute to disease screening, diagnosis (诊断) and monitoring.(获奖者表示，这种智能马桶可能有助于疾病筛查、诊断和监测)”可知，智能马桶的功能之一可能是检测潜在疾病，故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The literature prize goes to Chris Moulin and his team for studying how people feel when they repeat a word many times.(文学奖授予克里斯·莫林及其团队，他们研究人们多次重复一个单词时的感受)”以及“Some participants felt that the word lost its meaning. Some said they suddenly felt unfamiliar with the word.（一些参与者觉得这个词失去了意义。一些人说他们突然对这个词感到陌生)”可知，莫林及其团队的研究主要关注单词重复对记忆（表现为对单词熟悉度的变化）的影响，故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This phenomenon is called jamais vu, a fleeting (短暂的) feeling of unfamiliarity with things we have seen before.(这种现象被称为 jamais vu，即对我们以前见过的事物有一种短暂的陌生感)”可知，D选项“对熟悉事物的一种短暂陌生感”正确描述了“jamais vu”现象。故选D项。 C The idea that too much screen time and digital dependence might harm our cognitive abilities — often called “digital dementia (痴呆)” — has been debated since psychiatrist Manfred Spitzer coined the term in 2012. Critics argue that outsourcing memory (like relying on smartphones for contact details) and passive media consumption, such as endless scrolling, could weaken mental sharpness. But is this really true, especially for older adults who have witnessed the digital revolution firsthand? A major 2024 study published in Nature Human Behaviour analyzed data from over 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. Surprisingly, it found that regular use of computers, smartphones, and the Internet was associated with a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline — a stronger protective effect than even physical exercise or maintaining healthy blood pressure. This doesn’t mean technology directly prevents dementia, but it suggests that staying digitally engaged may help keep the brain active. Learning new apps, resolving tech issues, and even online socializing could function like mental workouts, strengthening cognitive resilience (恢复力). In fact, technology aids instead of harming because it offers men tal stimulation, enhances social connection, and boosts independence via problem-solving.’ While this study is a relief, not all tech use is equal in its effects. Passive activities, like binge watching TV, may not offer the same benefits as interactive tasks, such as video calls or online learning. Additionally, too much screen time in younger people has been linked to attention problems and poor sleep — which could have long-term effects. As AI and brain-computer interfaces advance, older adults may gain even more tools to support cognition, from memory aids to virtual social companions. However, balance remains key. The best approach? Use technology actively — learn, connect, and problem-solve — rather than just consume. For now, older adults shouldn’t fear “digital dementia.” Instead, thoughtful tech use might be one of the best ways to keep their minds sharp in the digital age. 8. What does the 2024 study reveal about “digital dementia” compared with the popular idea? A. It draws a contrary conclusion. B. It agrees with Manfred Spitzer’ theory. C. It only occurs in older adults. D. It equals the effect of physical workouts. 9. Why can active digital use reduce the risk of cognitive decline? A. It can prolong our life. B. It can activate our brain. C. It can solve tricky issues. D. It can enhance our ability. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Reliability of the new study. B. Negative effects on the young. C. Downsides of passive tech use. D. Contrast between two tech uses. 11. What does the author suggest the elderly do in the last two paragraphs? A. Relieve their fear quickly. B. Get more tools to sharpen cognition. C. Consume technology simply. D. Make considered use of modern tech. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨“数字痴呆症”说法，研究表明老年人合理使用数字技术有益认知。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The idea that too much screen time and digital dependence might harm our cognitive abilities — often called “digital dementia (痴呆)” — has been debated since psychiatrist Manfred Spitzer coined the term in 2012.(自精神病学家曼弗雷德·斯皮策2012年提出“数字痴呆症”这一术语以来，关于过多的屏幕时间和数字依赖可能损害我们认知能力的观点就一直存在争议。)”以及第二段中的“A major 2024 study published in Nature Human Behaviour analyzed data from over 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. Surprisingly, it found that regular use of computers, smartphones, and the Internet was associated with a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline — a stronger protective effect than even physical exercise or maintaining healthy blood pressure.(2024年发表在《自然·人类行为》上的一项重大研究分析了41.1万多名50岁及以上成年人的数据。令人惊讶的是，研究发现，经常使用电脑、智能手机和互联网与认知能力下降风险降低58%相关——这种保护作用甚至比体育锻炼或保持健康血压更强。)”可知，2024年的研究与普遍认为的“数字痴呆症”观点结论相反。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This doesn’t mean technology directly prevents dementia, but it suggests that staying digitally engaged may help keep the brain active. Learning new apps, resolving tech issues, and even online socializing could function like mental workouts, strengthening cognitive resilience (恢复力).(这并不意味着技术能直接预防痴呆症，但它表明，保持数字参与可能有助于保持大脑活跃。学习新应用程序、解决技术问题，甚至在线社交都可以像脑力锻炼一样，增强认知恢复力。)”可知，积极使用数字技术能降低认知能力下降风险是因为它能激活我们的大脑。故选B项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“While this study is a relief, not all tech use is equal in its effects. Passive activities, like binge watching TV, may not offer the same benefits as interactive tasks, such as video calls or online learning.(虽然这项研究让人松了一口气，但并非所有的技术使用都有相同的效果。被动活动，比如疯狂看电视，可能不会提供与互动任务相同的好处，如视频通话或在线学习。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是被动使用技术的缺点。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“However, balance remains key. The best approach? Use technology actively — learn, connect, and problem-solve — rather than just consume.(然而，平衡仍然是关键。最好的方法是什么？积极使用技术——学习、联系和解决问题——而不仅仅是消费。)”以及最后一段中的“For now, older adults shouldn’t fear “digital dementia.” Instead, thoughtful tech use might be one of the best ways to keep their minds sharp in the digital age.(目前，老年人不应该害怕“数字痴呆症”。相反，在数字时代，深思熟虑地使用技术可能是保持思维敏锐的最佳方式之一。)”可知，作者建议老年人合理使用现代技术。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Taking care of pet fish is a big responsibility, so you have to learn all about it before bringing them home! ____12____ Freshwater fish are the best fish to start with.

Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and ____43____ (think) to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone. Tu Youyou, a ____44____ (commit) and patient scientist, was graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientists ____45____ the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers ____46____ (choose). In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese ____47____ (medicine) texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease.

However, Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat. 【答案】42. a 43. is thought 44. committed 45. with 46. chosen 47. medical 48. properties 49. that##which 50. but 51. stuck 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是中国科学家屠呦呦因发现青蒿素（一种治疗疟疾的关键新药物）而荣获诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的事迹。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予屠呦呦（共同获奖者），她的研究导致了青蒿素的发现，这是一种治疗疟疾的重要新疗法。treatment“疗法”是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，crucial是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。 【43题详解】 考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：青蒿素已成为疟疾治疗中至关重要的一部分，据认为仅在非洲每年就能挽救10万人的生命。空格处是谓语，青蒿素被认为在非洲每年就能挽救10万人的生命，be thought to do是固定短语，意为“被认为做某事”，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语Artemisinin是不可数名词，因此空格处是is thought。故填is thought。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：屠呦呦，一位专注而耐心的科学家，1955年毕业于北京大学医学院。空格处与patient并列作定语，修饰名词scientist，commit的形容词是committed，意为“忠诚的，专注的”，符合语境。故填committed。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：1967年，中国政府成立了一个科学家小组，目的是找到治疗疟疾的新方法，屠呦呦是第一批被选中的研究人员之一。with the objective of是固定搭配，意为“目的是，具有……目的”，因此空格处是介词with，故填with。 【46题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：1967年，中国政府成立了一个科学家小组，目的是发现一种新的疟疾治疗方法，屠呦呦是第一批被选中的研究人员之一。句中谓语是was，空格处用非谓语动词，researchers和choose之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作后置定语，故填chosen。 【47题详解】 考查形容词。句意：1969年，她成为北京该项目的负责人，并决定查阅中国古代医学文献，寻找治疗这种疾病的传统植物疗法。空格处作定语，修饰名词texts，medicine的形容词是medical，意为“医学的”，符合语境，故填medical。 【48题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：她的团队检查了2000多份古老的文本，并评估了28万种植物的特性。property“(物质、物体的) 特性”是可数名词，根据上文“evaluated 280,000 plants for their ”可知，此处指多种植物的不同性质，为复数概念，故填properties。 【49题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：从他们的研究中，他们发现并测试了380种不同的古代中国治疗方法，这些方法在对抗疟疾方面显示出希望。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词treatments是物，因此用关系代词that/which引导定语从句，故填that/which。 【50题详解】 考查连词。句意：屠的团队测试了一组干艾叶，但没有发现任何效果。根据连接并列谓语tested和found，空前“tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves”与空后“found no effect”为转折关系，表示“屠的团队测试了一组干艾叶，但没有发现任何效果”，空格处用并列连词but，表转折，故填but。 【51题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他们的项目卡住了。由“They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either”可知，此处表示“他们的项目卡住了”，get stuck意为“卡住了”符合语境，填形容词stuck作表语，故填stuck。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（满分15分） 52. 很多同学认为现在已经是信息时代，没有必要浪费时间背诵古汉语诗词。请以“Reasons for Learning Chinese Classical Poetry”为题写一篇短文向学校英语报投稿。要点包括： 1．为什么要学习古诗词；2．说明学习古诗词的意义和好处。 注意： 1．词数为80左右；2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Reasons for Learning Chinese Classical Poetry ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Reasons for Learning Chinese Classical Poetry It makes practical sense for us to study Chinese classical poetry nowadays First of all, it carries forward the excellent Chinese culture and strengthens our cultural confidence.

But it seemed that my family didn’t have enough money to buy me the bike that I’d wanted for Christmas. After supper was over on Christmas eve, I sat at the table, feeling sorry for myself. It was cold outside. Soon Dad came back. “Come on, Eric,” he said. “Put on warm clothes. It’s cold out tonight.” I was really upset then. Not only was I not getting the bike for Christmas, but now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. But anyway, I got up and followed him. Outside, in front of the house, our old truck was ready. The cold was already biting at me. Dad went into the woodshed (柴房) and came out with an armload of wood. “Dad,” I asked, “what are you doing?” He said, “I passed by Ms. Black’s house today. She is a single mother of three kids. Her eldest son, 8-year-old Robert, was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. He was just wearing an old thin shirt, trembling with cold. They’re out of wood, Eric.” That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the room for a big ham. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the truck and wait. When he returned, he was carrying a bag of something in his hand. “What’s in the bag?” I asked. “Coats. They’re out of warm clothes. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little candy.” We drove two miles to Ms. Black’s house. We stopped at the gate and unloaded the wood, then we took the other things to the door. Ms. Black opened the door and let us in. The room felt cold. Such a small fire could hardly give off any heat at all. So Dad asked me to add more wood to the fire. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. Ms. Black, who had been worried about keeping her children warm, smiled gratefully as she saw the warmth spreading through the room. The children, whose faces had been pale with cold, now gathered around the fire, their eyes shining with joy. Dad then handed out the coats and candy, explaining that it was our way of sharing Christmas cheer. I realized that what we did, which might seem small, was actually bringing real happiness to this family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者原本期待收到自行车作为圣诞礼物，却因家境不富裕而失望。圣诞夜，父亲带作者去给独居且生活困顿的布莱克女士一家送木柴、衣物和糖果，作者由此领悟到给予比接受更令人快乐。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由本段句首内容“我很快让火烧得更亮，每个人的情绪都高涨起来。”可知，本段围绕“生火带来温暖与情绪转变”展开，先描写生火后的氛围变化，再展现不同人物的反应，最后点明行为背后的意义。 2.续写线索：作者让火势变旺，众人情绪高涨 —— 布莱克女士感激的微笑 —— 孩子们的喜悦 —— 爸爸分发礼物——作者的领悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①感激地微笑：smile gratefully/beam with gratitude ②围绕火堆聚集：gathered around the fire/cluster round the fire/assemble by the fire ③分发：hand out/distribute 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/anxious/concerned ②高兴：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Ms. Black, who had been worried about keeping her children warm, smiled gratefully as she saw the warmth spreading through the room.

B Let’s take a look at this year’s Ig Nobel Prize 揭秘今年的“搞笑诺贝尔奖” The Ig Nobel Prize, made to “honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think”, is a humorous version of the Nobel Prize. This year, 10 new winners stood head and shoulders above thousands of other nominees (候选人). Let’s take a look at their bizarre (奇异的) scientific achievements. Zombie spiders Spiders move their legs through a hydraulic (液压的) system in their bodies. The brain controls the blood to flow into the legs so that the legs can reach out and contract (收缩). That’s why you see a spider curl up (蜷缩) its legs after dying. Based on this, Te Faye Yap and her team from Rice University in the US turned a dead spider into a robot. By controlling air pressure inside the body, the zombie spider can grasp and move things on a small scale. This zombie (僵尸) spider robot won the mechanical engineering prize at the Ig Nobel. The Stanford smart toilet Seung-min Park from Stanford University received the public health prize for developing a smart toilet. It recognizes users by reading their anal print (肛纹). It checks the color of users’ urine (尿液) and records the urine’s release speed and volume. It also checks poo through a model using deep learning. The winner said the smart toilet might contribute to disease screening, diagnosis (诊断) and monitoring. Jamais vu The literature prize goes to Chris Moulin and his team for studying how people feel when they repeat a word many times. If you repeat a simple word like “the” tens of times, you might find the word becomes unfamiliar and strange. This phenomenon is called jamais vu, a fleeting (短暂的) feeling of unfamiliarity with things we have seen before. Moulin’s team conducted an experiment with students from the University of Leeds, UK. They required the students to repeat a word many times. Some participants felt that the word lost its meaning. Some said they suddenly felt unfamiliar with the word. Two-thirds of participants reported this phenomenon after repeating it 30 times. 4. What do we know about the zombie spider robot? A. It moves when a person touches it. B. It is made from a real spider body. C. Its movements are controlled by blood pressure. D. A hydraulic system was put in its body. 5. What might be one of the functions of the smart toilet? A. Measuring body temperature. B. Identifying users by their toilet use. C. Detecting potential diseases. D. Improving users’ bathroom habits. 6. What is the main focus of Moulin and his team’s research? A. The impact of word repetition on memory. B. The effects of memory loss on word recognition. C. College students’ strategies for word memorization. D. Emotional responses to unfamiliar words. 7 Which of the following best describes the phenomenon called “jamais vu”? A. A sudden loss of memory. B. A sense of familiarity with new experiences. C. Memory improvement due to repetition. D. A brief feeling of unfamiliarity with familiar things. C The idea that too much screen time and digital dependence might harm our cognitive abilities — often called “digital dementia (痴呆)” — has been debated since psychiatrist Manfred Spitzer coined the term in 2012. Critics argue that outsourcing memory (like relying on smartphones for contact details) and passive media consumption, such as endless scrolling, could weaken mental sharpness. But is this really true, especially for older adults who have witnessed the digital revolution firsthand? A major 2024 study published in Nature Human Behaviour analyzed data from over 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. Surprisingly, it found that regular use of computers, smartphones, and the Internet was associated with a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline — a stronger protective effect than even physical exercise or maintaining healthy blood pressure. This doesn’t mean technology directly prevents dementia, but it suggests that staying digitally engaged may help keep the brain active. Learning new apps, resolving tech issues, and even online socializing could function like mental workouts, strengthening cognitive resilience (恢复力). In fact, technology aids instead of harming because it offers men tal stimulation, enhances social connection, and boosts independence via problem-solving.’ While this study is a relief, not all tech use is equal in its effects. Passive activities, like binge watching TV, may not offer the same benefits as interactive tasks, such as video calls or online learning. Additionally, too much screen time in younger people has been linked to attention problems and poor sleep — which could have long-term effects. As AI and brain-computer interfaces advance, older adults may gain even more tools to support cognition, from memory aids to virtual social companions. However, balance remains key. The best approach? Use technology actively — learn, connect, and problem-solve — rather than just consume. For now, older adults shouldn’t fear “digital dementia.” Instead, thoughtful tech use might be one of the best ways to keep their minds sharp in the digital age. 8. What does the 2024 study reveal about “digital dementia” compared with the popular idea? A. It draws a contrary conclusion. B. It agrees with Manfred Spitzer’ theory. C. It only occurs in older adults. D. It equals the effect of physical workouts. 9. Why can active digital use reduce the risk of cognitive decline? A. It can prolong our life. B. It can activate our brain. C. It can solve tricky issues. D. It can enhance our ability. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Reliability of the new study. B. Negative effects on the young. C. Downsides of passive tech use. D. Contrast between two tech uses. 11. What does the author suggest the elderly do in the last two paragraphs? A. Relieve their fear quickly. B. Get more tools to sharpen cognition. C. Consume technology simply. D. Make considered use of modern tech. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Taking care of pet fish is a big responsibility, so you have to learn all about it before bringing them home! ____12____ Freshwater fish are the best fish to start with.

But it seemed that my family didn’t have enough money to buy me the bike that I’d wanted for Christmas. After supper was over on Christmas eve, I sat at the table, feeling sorry for myself. It was cold outside. Soon Dad came back. “Come on, Eric,” he said. “Put on warm clothes. It’s cold out tonight.” I was really upset then. Not only was I not getting the bike for Christmas, but now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. But anyway, I got up and followed him. Outside, in front of the house, our old truck was ready. The cold was already biting at me. Dad went into the woodshed (柴房) and came out with an armload of wood. “Dad,” I asked, “what are you doing?” He said, “I passed by Ms. Black’s house today. She is a single mother of three kids. Her eldest son, 8-year-old Robert, was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. He was just wearing an old thin shirt, trembling with cold. They’re out of wood, Eric.” That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the room for a big ham. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the truck and wait. When he returned, he was carrying a bag of something in his hand. “What’s in the bag?” I asked. “Coats. They’re out of warm clothes. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little candy.” We drove two miles to Ms. Black’s house. We stopped at the gate and unloaded the wood, then we took the other things to the door. Ms. Black opened the door and let us in. The room felt cold. Such a small fire could hardly give off any heat at all. So Dad asked me to add more wood to the fire. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
