They showed up with a truck filled with camping supplies. I did pack a backpack, as instructed, but I had no idea what would happen. Lebron hurried me to get into the truck and drove off and we got off at the beginning of a trail (小路) which became narrower and steeper (陡峭的) as we walked, forcing me to focus on the task at hand and to talk less. As we got higher up, we moved above the tree line, and I could see the trail winding up the mountain. Loose rocks and tree roots make the trail dangerous. Finally, we reached the summit. My legs ached. “No time to rest.” Lebron said, looking up at the sky. “The weather up here changes quickly, and the cool air means a storm is approaching. We need to set up camp.” He and Aiden started to work expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help. Soon, they put up the tent. As the storm rolled in, we took cover inside. Lebron, sensing that I was scared of the lightning and thunder, shared some crackers (薄脆饼干) and peanut butter and told stories about his camping adventures. “This is just a typical summer storm — they’re short lived, but intense, ” Lebron stated. “The campsite might get a bit muddy, but what’s the fun in camping if you can’t get dirty! At least the rain will keep the bears away, ” he said with a smile. We exited the tent after the storm. I could see for miles, and the rain left a fresh scent of pine and an earthy smell of soil. As darkness set in, I was amazed at the countless stars in the night sky. I longed for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I looked upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget. 4. What’s a difficulty of the uphill climb? A. Weather conditions. B. Wild animals. C. The dangerous trail. D. Supply shortage. 5. What can be inferred about Lebron? A. He was a seasoned camper. B. He pretended to be helpful.

(他和Aiden开始熟练地工作起来，而我则在一旁闲逛着，还装作在帮忙的样子。很快，他们就搭起了帐篷。)”可知，Lebron和Aiden熟练地开始工作，而作者则站在旁边假装帮忙，这表明Lebron是一位经验丰富的露营者。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Lebron, sensing that I was scared of the lightning and thunder, shared some crackers (薄脆饼干) and peanut butter and told stories about his camping adventures.(Lebron察觉到我很害怕闪电和雷声，就分享了一些薄脆饼干和花生酱，并讲了些他露营冒险的故事。)”可知，他们在帐篷里吃了一些零食。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“I longed for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I looked upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget. (我渴望着泡个热水澡，睡一张柔软的床，但当我抬头望着那银河时，我知道这是一次我永远不会忘记的奇妙经历。)”可知，尽管作者渴望热水澡和柔软的床，但仰望银河让作者意识到这是一次难忘的冒险，表明作者开始享受这次经历。故选C项。 C For the third year, cocoa harvests are coming up short due to abnormal weather, which has led to cocoa beans being so expensive that chocolate makers have little choice but to raise their own prices. “It’s been a pretty dramatic change to our business model,” says Alex Whitmore, who runs Taza Chocolate, a Boston-area manufacturer. “The cost of cocoa for us has almost tripled (三倍),” he says. “We did raise prices by almost 15% and it’s a possibility that we may have to increase again, but we’re doing everything we can to hold the line.” Big chocolate brands such as Nestle, Hershey and Mondelēz, which makes Cadbury and Milka, have all raised prices, too, and warn of further increases over this year. The world’s supply of cocoa is having the worst shortage in 60 years, says David Branch, an agricultural industry analyst at Wells Fargo. That’s because most of the world’s cocoa comes from West Africa, particularly Ivory Coast and Ghana. Changing climate patterns have farmers there dealing with extreme weather and sick trees. “Too much moisture (潮气) followed by getting too hot and drying out too much.” Branch says, explaining that shifting weather patterns stress older cocoa trees and make them more sensitive to disease. Globally, the latest crop data showed production down 13% from a year earlier, Branch says, marking the third year of declines. And the good news is that the market is correcting itself — just slowly. Bakeries and other companies that don’t absolutely have to use chocolate are focusing more on other flavours. Big manufacturers are pushing shoppers towards chewy, gummy or other less-chocolatey candy. KitKat, for example, has launched other flavours, without chocolate dip. Countries outside West Africa have stepped up their cocoa production. Branch says farmers in Ecuador, for example, have planted new trees that will produce a lot more cocoa a few years down the road. 8. What caused the rising price of the chocolate? A. Extreme weather. B. High transportation costs. C. High consumer demand. D. Deep addiction to chocolate. 9. What does the underlined phrase “hold the line” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Wait on the phone. B. Be careful. C Calm down. D. Keep prices little changed. 10. What do we know about the old cocoa trees? A. They are being cut down. B. They get ill easily. C. They are badly polluted. D. They die rapidly. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The new flavours created by bakeries. B. Some measures to deal with the shortage of cocoa. C. The cocoa production in West Africa. D. Less-chocolatey candy produced by big companies. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了近几年巧克力价格持续上升的原因以及应对策略。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“For the third year, cocoa harvests are coming up short due to abnormal weather, which has led to cocoa beans being so expensive that chocolate makers have little choice but to raise their own prices. (今年已经是连续第三年，可可作物的收成出现了不足的情况，原因是异常的天气所致。这使得可可豆的价格变得极为昂贵，以至于巧克力制造商别无选择，只能提高自己的产品价格。)”可知，由于异常天气，可可收成连续第三年歉收，导致可可豆价格昂贵，巧克力制造商别无选择，只能提高自己的价格。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“We did raise prices by almost 15% and it’s a possibility that we may have to increase again , but we’re doing everything we can to hold the line.” (我们确实将价格提高了近 15%，而且有可能我们还得再次提高价格，但我们正在竭尽全力……。)”可知，Alex Whitmore指出巧克力制造商们已经将价格提高了近15%，可能还需要再次提高，但正在尽一切努力保持价格稳定，前后构成转折关系，划线词的信息应该与前文“提高价格”构成转折即“保持价格稳定”。因此，“hold the line”在这里的意思是“保持价格稳定”。D选项“Keep prices little changed. ( 保持价格基本不变。)”与划线词意思相近。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Branch says, explaining that shifting weather patterns stress older cocoa trees and make them more sensitive to disease. (Branch解释道：“由于气候模式的不断变化，老可可树承受的压力增大，它们也变得更加容易受到病害的侵袭。”)”可知，变化的天气模式使老可可树受到压力，并使它们更容易生病。即老可可树，容易生病。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中“Bakeries and other companies that don’t absolutely have to use chocolate are focusing more on other flavours. Big manufacturers are pushing shoppers towards chewy, gummy or other less-chocolate y candy. (面包店以及其他无需使用巧克力的公司正更多地转向其他口味的糖果。大型制造商正引导消费者选择口感有嚼劲、呈胶状或其他巧克力含量较低的糖果。)”可知，这一段主要讲述了市场正在自我调整，一些措施被采取来应对可可短缺的问题。因此，这一段主要谈论的是一些应对可可短缺的措施。故选B项。 D An international group of astronomers has joined efforts seeking to establish a separate time zone for the moon. The French-based International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently approved a resolution on the matter, which calls on space organizations around the world to cooperate on establishing a standard. The moon’s orbital (轨道的) movements around Earth make one day on the lunar surface equal to 29.5 Earth days. And because the moon has less gravity compared to Earth, time moves slightly faster there, about 58.7 microseconds quicker each day. Currently, moon operations run on the time of the country that is launching spacecraft. But supporters of creating a separate time zone say this method will have to change; more countries and private space companies are starting to launch their own moon missions. In 2023, the European Space Agency (ESA) pushed for the creation of a lunar clock. And earlier this year, the US space agency NASA and other agencies came up with a timekeeping plan for the moon by the end of 2026. ESA noted communication and navigation (导航) systems built for the moon will perform much better if they use “the same timescale”. In addition, a separate time zone will support “the many other crewed and uncrewed missions” planned for the future, ESA said. In the past, NASA also considered establishing a separate time zone for the International Space Station (ISS). But the agency decided against it. Instead, the ISS runs on Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC, which is based on time kept by atomic clocks. NASA officials say this system helps ease the time difference between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency, as well as other space partners in Russia, Japan and Europe. The international team looking at establishing a lunar time zone has said it is still deciding whether a single organization should be chosen to set and keep time on the moon. Bijunath Patla is a physicist at the US Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. He said that astronomers are still deciding on how a lunar clock would work. Patla said, “I think the community has realized that this needs to be done. And this is the beginning. ” 12. What makes lunar time move slightly faster than Earth? A. The difference of gravity. B. The position of the Earth. C. Different timing methods. D. Different orbital movements. 13. Why is ISS still using UTC? A. Atomic clocks are accurate in timing. B. There are differences in opinions among partners. C. NASA has never wanted to use a separate time zone. D. UTC can reduce the inconvenience caused by time differences, 14. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. There is still a long way to go to achieve this goal. B. Bijunath Patla is the main person in charge of the IAU. C. A lunar clock has been successfully developed and put into use. D. A new international organization has begun to engage in this work. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The ISS Will Adapt to a Separate Time Zone B. New Challenges Are Faced by Landing on the Moon C. Astronomy Group Joins Effort to Establish Time Zone on the Moon D. The Future Space Programme Depends on a Unified Timing Method 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个国际天文学家小组已经加人了为月球建立单独时区的努力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“And because the moon has less gravity compared to Earth, time moves slightly faster there, about 58.7 microseconds quicker each day. (而且由于月球的重力比地球小，所以在月球上时间会稍快一些，每天大约快 58.7 微秒。)”可知，由于月球的重力比地球小，那里的时间移动得稍微快一些。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“NASA officials say this system helps ease the time difference between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency, as well as other space partners in Russia, Japan and Europe. (美国国家航空航天局的官员表示，该系统有助于缓解美国国家航空航天局与加拿大航天局之间，以及与俄罗斯、日本和欧洲等其他航天机构之间的时间差异。)”可知，美国宇航局官员表示，这一系统有助于减轻美国宇航局与加拿大航天局以及其他俄罗斯、日本和欧洲的航天合作伙伴之间的时差。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“The international team looking at establishing a lunar time zone has said it is still deciding whether a single organization should be chosen to set and keep time on the moon. (负责制定月球时区的国际团队表示，他们仍在考虑是否应由一个单一的组织来负责在月球上设定和维持时间标准。)”以及“I think the community has realized that this needs to be done. And this is the beginning. (我认为社区已经意识到这件事必须去做。而这仅仅是个开始。)”可知，该负责团队正在考虑是否要在月球上设定和维持时间标准，即表明该单独时区还未实施同时这也仅仅是个开始，因此要达到这项目标还有很长的路要走。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“An international group of astronomers has joined efforts seeking to establish a separate time zone for the moon. The French-based International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently approved a resolution on the matter, which calls on space organizations around the world to cooperate on establishing a standard. ( 一个国际天文学家团队正在共同合作，旨在为月球设立一个独立的时间区。总部位于法国的国际天文学联合会（IAU）近期就此事通过了一项决议，该决议呼吁全球各航天机构共同努力，制定出一个标准。)”以及通读全文，文章主要讲述了一个国际天文学家小组共同努力，试图为月球建立一个单独的时区，并介绍了建立月球时区的原因和进展。C选项“Astronomy Group Joins Effort to Establish Time Zone on the Moon (天文学小组参与建立月球时区的行动)”概括文章主要内容，适合标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分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。 Refresh Your Home With These Easy DIY Paint Projects Refreshing your home’s aesthetic(美学风格)can be as simple as a new coat of paint.

A lot of people build up the first day to be the most intimidating (令人惊恐) thing. I went from a tiny middle school to this giant high school and was expecting not to know where anything was. I also was panicking because I knew ninth grade would have higher expectations than eighth, and I wasn’t sure how I would do at taking on that challenge. The one thing that kept me calm was that my best friend Dora is actually at my new school, so I have someone to talk to or at least go to when I don’t know what I’m doing. I had to take the bus to school, which was not something I’d had to do before. Dora and I took the bus together and we talked the whole way there about how we thought the first day would turn out. When we entered the school, everyone was hugging and saying hi and I was awkwardly standing there and holding onto my friend’s bag through the crowd of people. I hated crowds so I stayed with Dora who was probably annoyed by me holding onto her the whole morning. I started to calm down when we all were waiting for the first bell to ring. When Dora and I had to separate, I didn’t want to go to class. When I did, I simply stood at the door because I had no idea where to sit. I sat in the way back. My teacher seemed friendly so I was a little calm. My deskmate Jane barely talked, but when she did, she seemed really nice. Although a lot of students might not laugh when I made a strange joke, they weren’t rude. My teachers told us about the high expectations for their school and I was kind of worried because I came from a school where I didn’t have too much work or high expectations. After maths class, we needed to go to another classroom to have history class. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go. The hallways were a sea of unfamiliar faces, and the noise level was overwhelming. I clutched my schedule tightly, trying to navigate through the bustling crowds. Dora had a different schedule, so I was on my own. I felt like everyone else knew exactly where they were going, while I was lost in a maze. Suddenly, I heard Jane call my name. With the help of Jane, I found my next classroom just as the bell rang. I slipped into a seat, feeling relieved but still nervous about what the rest of the day would bring. During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table. At first, I introduced Jane to Dora. Then Dora introduced us to some of her other friends, and although I was still a bit shy, I tried to join in the conversation. It was comforting to have a familiar face and to see that not everyone was as confident as they seemed. As the day went on, I started to feel more comfortable. By the end of the day, I realized that high school wasn’t as intimidating as I had feared, and I was ready to face the challenges ahead with a bit more confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者初入高中的经历。从担忧不安开始，因不熟悉环境、担心学业挑战而紧张。坐公交进校后，在人群中局促，上课也有些无措。不过，在朋友和同桌的帮助下，逐渐适应，午餐时融入交流，最终发现高中没那么可怕，有了面对挑战的信心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我有点害怕，因为我不知道该往哪儿走。走廊里都是陌生的面孔，嘈杂声震耳欲聋。”可知，第一段可描写作者在陌生环境中感到害怕和无助，不知道该去哪里，但最终在同桌Jane的帮助下找到了教室。 ②由第二段首句内容“午饭时，Jane和我与Dora在一张桌子旁坐下。”可知，第二段可描写作者在午餐时与朋友和同桌交流，逐渐感到舒适和自信，意识到高中并没有那么可怕。 2续写线索： 害怕无助——寻找教室——得到帮助——找到座位——午餐交流——逐渐自信——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握：clutch tightly/grasp firmly/hold tight ②.加入：join in/participate in/take part in ③.意识到：realize/become aware of/recognize 情绪类 ①.宽慰的：relieved/eased/comforted ②.紧张的：nervous/anxious/uneasy 【点睛】[高分句型1].

I did pack a backpack, as instructed, but I had no idea what would happen. Lebron hurried me to get into the truck and drove off and we got off at the beginning of a trail (小路) which became narrower and steeper (陡峭的) as we walked, forcing me to focus on the task at hand and to talk less. As we got higher up, we moved above the tree line, and I could see the trail winding up the mountain. Loose rocks and tree roots make the trail dangerous. Finally, we reached the summit. My legs ached. “No time to rest.” Lebron said, looking up at the sky. “The weather up here changes quickly, and the cool air means a storm is approaching. We need to set up camp.” He and Aiden started to work expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help. Soon, they put up the tent. As the storm rolled in, we took cover inside. Lebron, sensing that I was scared of the lightning and thunder, shared some crackers (薄脆饼干) and peanut butter and told stories about his camping adventures. “This is just a typical summer storm — they’re short lived, but intense, ” Lebron stated. “The campsite might get a bit muddy, but what’s the fun in camping if you can’t get dirty! At least the rain will keep the bears away, ” he said with a smile. We exited the tent after the storm. I could see for miles, and the rain left a fresh scent of pine and an earthy smell of soil. As darkness set in, I was amazed at the countless stars in the night sky. I longed for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I looked upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget. 4. What’s a difficulty of the uphill climb? A. Weather conditions. B. Wild animals. C. The dangerous trail. D. Supply shortage. 5. What can be inferred about Lebron? A. He was a seasoned camper. B. He pretended to be helpful. C. He ignored how the author felt. D. He was unprepared for the storm. 6. What did they do in the tent? A. They read story books. B. They had some snacks. C. They tried to block out water. D. They had fun playing with mud. 7. What happened in the end? A. Lebron drove away the bear. B. The brothers got dirty and tired. C. The author began to enjoy the experience. D. They found shelter in a comfortable place. C For the third year, cocoa harvests are coming up short due to abnormal weather, which has led to cocoa beans being so expensive that chocolate makers have little choice but to raise their own prices. “It’s been a pretty dramatic change to our business model,” says Alex Whitmore, who runs Taza Chocolate, a Boston-area manufacturer. “The cost of cocoa for us has almost tripled (三倍),” he says. “We did raise prices by almost 15% and it’s a possibility that we may have to increase again, but we’re doing everything we can to hold the line.” Big chocolate brands such as Nestle, Hershey and Mondelēz, which makes Cadbury and Milka, have all raised prices, too, and warn of further increases over this year. The world’s supply of cocoa is having the worst shortage in 60 years, says David Branch, an agricultural industry analyst at Wells Fargo. That’s because most of the world’s cocoa comes from West Africa, particularly Ivory Coast and Ghana. Changing climate patterns have farmers there dealing with extreme weather and sick trees. “Too much moisture (潮气) followed by getting too hot and drying out too much.” Branch says, explaining that shifting weather patterns stress older cocoa trees and make them more sensitive to disease. Globally, the latest crop data showed production down 13% from a year earlier, Branch says, marking the third year of declines. And the good news is that the market is correcting itself — just slowly. Bakeries and other companies that don’t absolutely have to use chocolate are focusing more on other flavours. Big manufacturers are pushing shoppers towards chewy, gummy or other less-chocolatey candy. KitKat, for example, has launched other flavours, without chocolate dip. Countries outside West Africa have stepped up their cocoa production. Branch says farmers in Ecuador, for example, have planted new trees that will produce a lot more cocoa a few years down the road. 8. What caused the rising price of the chocolate? A. Extreme weather. B. High transportation costs. C. High consumer demand. D. Deep addiction to chocolate. 9. What does the underlined phrase “hold the line” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Wait on the phone. B. Be careful. C. Calm down. D. Keep prices little changed. 10. What do we know about the old cocoa trees? A. They are being cut down. B. They get ill easily. C. They are badly polluted. D. They die rapidly. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The new flavours created by bakeries. B. Some measures to deal with the shortage of cocoa. C. The cocoa production in West Africa. D. Less-chocolatey candy produced by big companies. D An international group of astronomers has joined efforts seeking to establish a separate time zone for the moon. The French-based International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently approved a resolution on the matter, which calls on space organizations around the world to cooperate on establishing a standard. The moon’s orbital (轨道) movements around Earth make one day on the lunar surface equal to 29.5 Earth days. And because the moon has less gravity compared to Earth, time moves slightly faster there, about 58.7 microseconds quicker each day. Currently, moon operations run on the time of the country that is launching spacecraft. But supporters of creating a separate time zone say this method will have to change; more countries and private space companies are starting to launch their own moon missions. In 2023, the European Space Agency (ESA) pushed for the creation of a lunar clock. And earlier this year, the US space agency NASA and other agencies came up with a timekeeping plan for the moon by the end of 2026. ESA noted communication and navigation (导航) systems built for the moon will perform much better if they use “the same timescale”. In addition, a separate time zone will support “the many other crewed and uncrewed missions” planned for the future, ESA said. In the past, NASA also considered establishing a separate time zone for the International Space Station (ISS). But the agency decided against it. Instead, the ISS runs on Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC, which is based on time kept by atomic clocks. NASA officials say this system helps ease the time difference between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency, as well as other space partners in Russia, Japan and Europe. The international team looking at establishing a lunar time zone has said it is still deciding whether a single organization should be chosen to set and keep time on the moon. Bijunath Patla is a physicist at the US Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. He said that astronomers are still deciding on how a lunar clock would work. Patla said, “I think the community has realized that this needs to be done. And this is the beginning. ” 12. What makes lunar time move slightly faster than Earth? A. The difference of gravity. B. The position of the Earth. C. Different timing methods. D. Different orbital movements. 13. Why is ISS still using UTC? A. Atomic clocks are accurate in timing. B. There are differences in opinions among partners. C. NASA has never wanted to use a separate time zone. D. UTC can reduce the inconvenience caused by time differences 14. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. There is still a long way to go to achieve this goal. B Bijunath Patla is the main person in charge of the IAU. C. A lunar clock has been successfully developed and put into use. D. A new international organization has begun to engage in this work. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The ISS Will Adapt to a Separate Time Zone B. New Challenges Are Faced by Landing on the Moon C. Astronomy Group Joins Effort to Establish Time Zone on the Moon D. The Future Space Programme Depends on a Unified Timing Method 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分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。 Refresh Your Home With These Easy DIY Paint Projects Refreshing your home’s aesthetic(美学风格)can be as simple as a new coat of paint.

A lot of people build up the first day to be the most intimidating (令人惊恐的) thing. I went from a tiny middle school to this giant high school and was expecting not to know where anything was. I also was panicking because I knew ninth grade would have higher expectations than eighth, and I wasn’t sure how I would do at taking on that challenge. The one thing that kept me calm was that my best friend Dora is actually at my new school, so I have someone to talk to or at least go to when I don’t know what I’m doing. I had to take the bus to school, which was not something I’d had to do before. Dora and I took the bus together and we talked the whole way there about how we thought the first day would turn out. When we entered the school, everyone was hugging and saying hi and I was awkwardly standing there and holding onto my friend’s bag through the crowd of people. I hated crowds so I stayed with Dora who was probably annoyed by me holding onto her the whole morning. I started to calm down when we all were waiting for the first bell to ring. When Dora and I had to separate, I didn’t want to go to class. When I did, I simply stood at the door because I had no idea where to sit. I sat in the way back. My teacher seemed friendly so I was a little calm. My deskmate Jane barely talked, but when she did, she seemed really nice. Although a lot of students might not laugh when I made a strange joke, they weren’t rude. My teachers told us about the high expectations for their school and I was kind of worried because I came from a school where I didn’t have too much work or high expectations. After maths class, we needed to go to another classroom to have history class. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
