Back then, we lived at my grandparents’ place; finances were tight since my dad had retired and hadn’t secured steady employment yet. But my mom strived to create lasting, cherished memories that would shape my outlook on life, though I didn’t fully grasp the depth of her wisdom until years later. We headed to the nearest bus stop once or twice a week. For a minimal fee, it was possible to purchase a ticket that allowed people to embark on all the buses throughout an entire day. My mom had deciphered this cost-effective system perfectly, and she’d take me to a diverse range of destinations, turning ordinary afternoons into adventures. Among our most frequented places was the mall in Carlsbad, which boasted a large glass clock tower at its center. The tower featured intricate gears and mechanisms that rolled balls along rails, bounced them onto drums and ramps, and then lifted them back up with tiny elevators-a sight that drew crowds of children all day long. We’d go window-shopping, not to buy anything, but to soak in the atmosphere and do some people-watching. On other occasions, we’d take the bus to Strand Beach, where we collected sand dollars and shells as souvenirs. Every trip we took felt like a grand expedition, and I was deeply grateful to my mom for making that tough period so enjoyable. Eventually, my dad found a steady job, and we moved to a lovely home in the countryside. My mom’s efforts went beyond distracting me from our struggles. She inspired me to stay observant and appreciate a world that was accessible without costing much. More importantly, she taught me that regardless of where I was, and what I was going through, there was something I could smile about somewhere. 4. Why did the author’s family live with their grandparents? A. To save living costs. B. To attend to the elderly. C. To escape city life. D. To support dad’s work. 5.

Bought small gifts after window-shopping. B. Collected souvenirs while watching people. C. Admired the clock tower and enjoyed the scene. D. Learned about gear mechanisms with other children. 7. What is the main message the author intends to convey? A. Travel broadens the mind. B. A penny saved is a penny earned. C. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. D. Those who settle for less rarely achieve more. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者7岁时，因父亲退休后尚未找到稳定工作，家庭经济拮据，不得不与祖父母同住。在这段艰难时期，作者的母亲通过富有智慧和创意的方式，为他创造了快乐而珍贵的童年记忆。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Back then, we lived at my grandparents’ place; finances were tight since my dad had retired and hadn’t secured steady employment yet. (那时候，我们住在祖父母家；因为爸爸退休了，还没有找到稳定的工作，家里经济很拮据。)”可知，作者一家住到祖父母家是为了节省生活开支。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“For a minimal fee, it was possible to purchase a ticket that allowed people to embark on all the buses throughout an entire day. My mom had deciphered this cost-effective system perfectly, and she’d take me to a diverse range of destinations (花很少的钱，就可以买到一张全天可以乘坐所有公交车的票。妈妈完美地deciphered这个划算的办法，然后带我去各种各样的地方。)”以及语境可知，这里指妈妈是摸清了这个省钱的公交票规则。“deciphered”在此处与“figured out”（弄明白、搞清楚）意思相近。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Among our most frequented places was the mall in Carlsbad, which boasted a large glass clock tower at its center. The tower featured intricate gears and mechanisms that rolled balls along rails, bounced them onto drums and ramps, and then lifted them back up with tiny elevators-a sight that drew crowds of children all day long. We’d go window-shopping, not to buy anything, but to soak in the atmosphere and do some people-watching.(我们最常去的地方之一是卡尔斯巴德的一家商场，商场中央矗立着一座宏伟的玻璃钟楼。钟楼内部精密的齿轮机械装置推动钢珠沿轨道滚动，在鼓面与斜坡弹跳穿梭，最后通过微型升降机将钢珠送回顶端——这般景象终日吸引着成群结队的孩童驻足。我们时常浏览橱窗不为购物，只为沉浸在那份热闹氛围中观察往来行人。)”可知，作者在购物中心会欣赏钟楼，享受那里的氛围。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“She inspired me to stay observant and appreciate a world that was accessible without costing much. More importantly, she taught me that regardless of where I was, and what I was going through, there was something I could smile about somewhere. (她激励我保持敏锐的观察力，去欣赏这个不用花很多钱就能接触到的世界。更重要的是，她教会我，无论身处何地、经历何事，总有一些值得微笑的事情。)”可知，文章传递的核心思想是在困境中也要积极寻找生活的乐趣，与“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.(当生活给你柠檬时，就做杯柠檬水。)”表达的“苦中作乐、积极面对困境”含义一致。故选C项。 C Researchers have created a robot smaller than a grain of salt — less than 1 millimeter in size — that can sense its environment, process information, and move on its own. This breakthrough, achieved by teams from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan, could one day allow tiny robots to perform medical tasks inside the human body, such as repairing nerves or delivering drugs with precision. For decades, scientists struggled to build a fully functional robot at such a small scale. The main challenge was fitting a computer, sensors, a motor, and a power source into a device tinier than the width of a human hair. “It’s the first tiny robot to be able to sense, think and act,” said Marc Miskin of the University of Pennsylvania. The robot is powered by tiny solar cells that convert light into energy. Some of this energy runs its simple computer, which operates at one-thousandth the speed of a modern laptop, while the rest powers movement. To swim through liquid, the robot charges two metal electrodes that attract particles in the water, creating a flow that pulls it forward. Protected by a glass-like coating, the robot is made from materials similar to those in microchips, such as silicon and platinum. It can sense temperature changes and communicate with operators using movement patterns, similar to a bee’s waggle dance. Researchers control it with a laptop, sending and receiving messages about what the robot detects and does. Looking ahead, scientists aim to adapt the robot for use in various environments, including saltwater and land. The long-term goal is not only to improve communication between robots and humans but also to enable tiny robots to “talk” to each other and work together. This innovation opens new possibilities for non-invasive medicine and demonstrates how miniaturization technology continues to push the boundaries of science. 8. What is Marc Miskin’s attitude towards the tiny robot? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Praiseful. D. Unconcerned. 9. What is the robot’s primary source of power? A. A micro battery. B. Tiny solar cells. C. Wireless charging. D. Kinetic energy from movement. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The materials used to make the tiny robot. B. The size and appearance of the tiny robot. C. The way the tiny robot gets energy and moves. D. How the tiny robot communicates with operators. 11. What can we infer from the text? A The robot’s computer runs as fast as a modern laptop. B. The tiny robot can already work effectively in saltwater. C. Scientists have long been able to build fully functional micro- robots. D. The tiny robot may reduce the need for invasive medical procedures. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家研发出的一种比盐粒还小的机器人及其功能、应用前景。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““It’s the first tiny robot to be able to sense, think and act,” said Marc Miskin of the University of Pennsylvania.(宾夕法尼亚大学的Marc Miskin说：“这是第一个能够感知、思考和行动的微型机器人。”)”可知，Marc Miskin对这种微型机器人评价高，持赞扬态度。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The robot is powered by tiny solar cells that convert light into energy.(这种机器人由微型太阳能电池提供动力，将光转化为能量。)”可知，机器人主要动力来源是微型太阳能电池。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The robot is powered by tiny solar cells that convert light into energy. Some of this energy runs its simple computer, which operates at one-thousandth the speed of a modern laptop, while the rest powers movement. To swim through liquid, the robot charges two metal electrodes that attract particles in the water, creating a flow that pulls it forward.(这种机器人由微型太阳能电池提供动力，将光转化为能量。其中一部分能量为其简单的计算机供电，其运行速度是现代笔记本电脑的千分之一，其余的能量则用于驱动运动。为了在液体中游动，机器人对两个金属电极充电，吸引水中的粒子，产生拉动它前进的流动。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了微型机器人获取能量的方式和移动方式。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This innovation opens new possibilities for non-invasive medicine and demonstrates how miniaturization technology continues to push the boundaries of science.(这一创新为非侵入性医学开辟了新的可能性，并展示了微型化技术如何继续推动科学的边界。)”可知，这种微型机器人可能会减少对侵入性医疗程序的需求。故选D。 D A single fin whale can release up to 250 gallons of urine (尿液) into the ocean every day. While this is not what makes seawater salty, it plays a surprisingly vital role in sustaining marine life. Recent studies reveal that whale urine, far from being merely a biological byproduct, is in fact a key component in a large-scale nutrient cycle essential for healthy oceans. This process is driven by the remarkable migration patterns of whales, particularly baleen species. These filter-feeding giants routinely travel thousands of miles between cold polar feeding grounds and warmer breeding waters. For instance, female humpback whales feast on krill in the Gulf of Alaska, then journey to the Hawaiian Islands to give birth in snug, warmer seas — a necessity for their vulnerable, thin-blubbered calves. During these long migrations, whales often cease feeding and metabolize energy stored in their blubber. Consequently, they release concentrated nutrients — originally consumed in krill-rich polar waters — through their urine and feces into nutrient-poorer tropical areas. Scientists term this transcontinental nutrient transfer the Great Whale Conveyor Belt. The scale of this process is substantial. Research from 2025 indicates that gray, humpback, and right whales collectively transport close to 4,000 tonnes of nitrogen annually along this conveyor belt. In regions like the Hawaiian Islands, migrating whales can nearly double the nutrient levels entering the sunlit shallow seas. These nutrients serve as a critical fertilizer for phytoplankton — microscopic algae that form the foundation of the marine food web. By stimulating phytoplankton growth, whales indirectly energize entire ocean ecosystems, supporting everything from small fish to marine mammals. Historically, this ecological role was even more pronounced. Before the era of commercial whaling drastically reduced whale populations, the Great Whale Conveyor Belt likely moved three times more nutrients than it does today — a reminder of the profound impact these majestic animals have on the health and balance of our global oceans. 12. Why do female humpback whales go to the Hawaiian Islands? A. To feed on krill. B. To give birth in warm waters. C. To store energy in blubber. D. To release concentrated nutrients. 13. What is the main function of the nutrients released by whales in tropical waters? A. To make the seawater saltier. B. To help whales store more energy in blubber. C. To serve as food for larger marine mammals. D. To promote the growth of microscopic algae. 14. What has commercial whaling led to? A. Higher nitrogen levels in polar seas. B. More whales migrating to tropical regions. C. An increase in phytoplankton populations worldwide. D. A significant decline in the ocean’s nutrient transport capacity. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A The Secret of Salty Seas: Whale Urine B. Krill and Whales: A Polar Feeding Story C. How Whale migration Shapes Ocean Health D. The Dangerous Impact of Commercial Whaling 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了鲸鱼迁徙对海洋健康的积极影响及其重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For instance, female humpback whales feast on krill in the Gulf of Alaska, then journey to the Hawaiian Islands to give birth in snug, warmer seas — a necessity for their vulnerable, thin-blubbered calves.(例如，雌性座头鲸在阿拉斯加湾大量捕食磷虾，然后前往夏威夷群岛在温暖舒适的海域产仔——这对它们脆弱、脂肪层薄的幼鲸来说是必要的)”可知，雌性座头鲸去夏威夷群岛是为了在温暖的海水中产仔。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“These nutrients serve as a critical fertilizer for phytoplankton — microscopic algae that form the foundation of the marine food web. By stimulating phytoplankton growth, whales indirectly energize entire ocean ecosystems, supporting everything from small fish to marine mammals.(这些营养物质是浮游植物（构成海洋食物网基础的微小藻类）的关键肥料。通过刺激浮游植物的生长，鲸鱼间接地为整个海洋生态系统提供了能量，支持了从小鱼到海洋哺乳动物的一切生物)”可知，鲸鱼在热带水域释放的营养物质的主要功能是促进微小藻类的生长。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Before the era of commercial whaling drastically reduced whale populations, the Great Whale Conveyor Belt likely moved three times more nutrients than it does today — a reminder of the profound impact these majestic animals have on the health and balance of our global oceans.(在商业捕鲸时代大幅减少鲸鱼数量之前，巨型鲸鱼传送带可能运输的营养物质是今天的三倍——这提醒我们，这些雄伟的动物对全球海洋的健康和平衡有着深远的影响)”可知，商业捕鲸导致海洋的营养物质运输能力显著下降。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Recent studies reveal that whale urine, far from being merely a biological byproduct, is in fact a key component in a large-scale nutrient cycle essential for healthy oceans.(最近的研究表明，鲸鱼尿液远非仅仅是生物副产品，实际上是健康海洋所需的大规模营养循环的关键组成部分)”以及最后一段中“Before the era of commercial whaling drastically reduced whale populations, the Great Whale Conveyor Belt likely moved three times more nutrients than it does today — a reminder of the profound impact these majestic animals have on the health and balance of our global oceans.(在商业捕鲸时代大幅减少鲸鱼数量之前，巨型鲸鱼传送带可能运输的营养物质是今天的三倍——这提醒我们，这些雄伟的动物对全球海洋的健康和平衡有着深远的影响)”可知，文章主要讲述了鲸鱼迁徙对海洋健康的积极影响及其重要性。因此，C项“How Whale migration Shapes Ocean Health(鲸鱼迁徙如何塑造海洋健康)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 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。 As the cost-of-living crisis continues, it’s good to know there are ways of budgeting for our pet’s care as well as for ourselves. ●____16____ Buying food in larger quantities can bring big savings.

Bigger kids at school sometimes bump into me or step on my toes for not seeing me. At the playground, little kids even try to boss me around. I used to try to make myself taller. I hung from the tree in our backyard to stretch out my limbs. I even ate my vegetables — all of them — but I never seemed to grow. “Don’t worry.” Mom said, “Being small has its benefits.” Really? I’d never noticed any. One day, Mrs. Alvarez told the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines before the audition, but I never got a chance to deliver them. As soon as I walked onstage, Mrs. Alvarez cried out, “Sophie! You’ll be perfect as the elf! You’re just the right size for the costume.” When the auditions were finished, Mom was waiting outside for me. “Mrs. Alvarez made me an elf,” I grumbled. “I don’t want to be in the play any more.” Patting my head, Mom comforted me that I would be the best elf in the play. I nodded reluctantly. In the play’s last scene, the main character finds a box under a giant mushroom. When she opens it, a dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals. He liked all the kids, but he seemed to like me best. Unexpectedly, something dramatic happened on the night of the show. When the box was opened, Prince jumped out as planned. He jumped into the giant mushroom, though, which fell over. Then he leaped off the stage and disappeared underneath it. Mrs. Alvarez called him, but he whimpered and refused to come out. The lights came on in the theater, and the audience started to fidget (坐立不安) in their seats. The entire class gathered at the edge of the stage. “How are we going to get him out of there?” Mrs. Alvarez asked. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I came out with the dog in my arms. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “How are we going to get him out of there?” Mrs. Alvarez asked. I looked down through the gap in the stage. It was dark and dusty, but I could see Prince shivering. He seemed scared. I thought about how he liked me best. “I can try,” I said quietly. Mrs. Alvarez looked at my small frame. “Oh, Sophie, I don’t know if you’ll fit.” But she had no other ideas. She helped me down. I took a deep breath and crawled into the dark space. It was tight, but I just fit. “Come here, Prince,” I whispered. He whimpered and crawled over, licking my face. I wrapped my arms around him and started backing out, pulling him with me. The audience held their breath. Finally, I came out with the dog in my arms. A huge cheer went up from the crowd. Mrs. Alvarez hugged me, her eyes wet. “You were wonderful, Sophie! My hero!” The play continued, and while no one remembered much about the elf lines, everyone talked about how the smallest girl saved the show. Afterwards, Mom beamed with pride. “See?” she said, “Being small has its benefits.” For the first time, I believed her. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者因为身材矮小在学校常被欺负，在班级排练的春季戏剧中扮演精灵，演出当晚，作者凭借身材矮小的优势钻进舞台下救出小狗，赢得观众掌声，最终相信了妈妈说的“身材矮小也有好处”的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Mrs. Alvarez问道：“我们应该怎样把它弄出来呢”？”可知，第一段可描写作者观察到Prince的状态，主动请缨，利用自身瘦小的优势钻进舞台缝隙救助Prince的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“最终，我手里抱着狗出来。”可知，本段可以写作者将狗解救出来后，全场欢呼，老师也表扬了作者。坐着回到家后，妈妈告诉作者“身材矮小也有它的优势”的道理。 2.续写线索：主动提出试试——钻进舞台下——救出小狗——受到观众欢呼和老师夸奖——演出继续——相信妈妈的话 3.词类激活： 行为类： 小声说：whisper/murmur/mutter softly 爬进：crawl into/climb into/squeeze into 后退：back out/move backwards 情绪类： 害怕的：scared/frightened/afraid 骄傲地：with pride/proudly 【点睛】【高分句型1】I thought about how he liked me best.

Back then, we lived at my grandparents’ place; finances were tight since my dad had retired and hadn’t secured steady employment yet. But my mom strived to create lasting, cherished memories that would shape my outlook on life, though I didn’t fully grasp the depth of her wisdom until years later. We headed to the nearest bus stop once or twice a week. For a minimal fee, it was possible to purchase a ticket that allowed people to embark on all the buses throughout an entire day. My mom had deciphered this cost-effective system perfectly, and she’d take me to a diverse range of destinations, turning ordinary afternoons into adventures. Among our most frequented places was the mall in Carlsbad, which boasted a large glass clock tower at its center. The tower featured intricate gears and mechanisms that rolled balls along rails, bounced them onto drums and ramps, and then lifted them back up with tiny elevators-a sight that drew crowds of children all day long. We’d go window-shopping, not to buy anything, but to soak in the atmosphere and do some people-watching. On other occasions, we’d take the bus to Strand Beach, where we collected sand dollars and shells as souvenirs. Every trip we took felt like a grand expedition, and I was deeply grateful to my mom for making that tough period so enjoyable. Eventually, my dad found a steady job, and we moved to a lovely home in the countryside. My mom’s efforts went beyond distracting me from our struggles. She inspired me to stay observant and appreciate a world that was accessible without costing much. More importantly, she taught me that regardless of where I was, and what I was going through, there was something I could smile about somewhere. 4.

Those who settle for less rarely achieve more. C Researchers have created a robot smaller than a grain of salt — less than 1 millimeter in size — that can sense its environment, process information, and move on its own. This breakthrough, achieved by teams from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan, could one day allow tiny robots to perform medical tasks inside the human body, such as repairing nerves or delivering drugs with precision. For decades, scientists struggled to build a fully functional robot at such a small scale. The main challenge was fitting a computer, sensors, a motor, and a power source into a device tinier than the width of a human hair. “It’s the first tiny robot to be able to sense, think and act,” said Marc Miskin of the University of Pennsylvania. The robot is powered by tiny solar cells that convert light into energy. Some of this energy runs its simple computer, which operates at one-thousandth the speed of a modern laptop, while the rest powers movement. To swim through liquid, the robot charges two metal electrodes that attract particles in the water, creating a flow that pulls it forward. Protected by a glass-like coating, the robot is made from materials similar to those in microchips, such as silicon and platinum. It can sense temperature changes and communicate with operators using movement patterns, similar to a bee’s waggle dance. Researchers control it with a laptop, sending and receiving messages about what the robot detects and does. Looking ahead, scientists aim to adapt the robot for use in various environments, including saltwater and land. The long-term goal is not only to improve communication between robots and humans but also to enable tiny robots to “talk” to each other and work together. This innovation opens new possibilities for non-invasive medicine and demonstrates how miniaturization technology continues to push the boundaries of science. 8. What is Marc Miskin’s attitude towards the tiny robot? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Praiseful. D. Unconcerned. 9. What is the robot’s primary source of power? A. A micro battery. B. Tiny solar cells. C. Wireless charging. D. Kinetic energy from movement. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The materials used to make the tiny robot. B. The size and appearance of the tiny robot. C. The way the tiny robot gets energy and moves. D. How the tiny robot communicates with operators. 11. What can we infer from the text? A. The robot’s computer runs as fast as a modern laptop. B. The tiny robot can already work effectively in saltwater. C. Scientists have long been able to build fully functional micro- robots. D. The tiny robot may reduce the need for invasive medical procedures. D A single fin whale can release up to 250 gallons of urine (尿液) into the ocean every day. While this is not what makes seawater salty, it plays a surprisingly vital role in sustaining marine life. Recent studies reveal that whale urine, far from being merely a biological byproduct, is in fact a key component in a large-scale nutrient cycle essential for healthy oceans. This process is driven by the remarkable migration patterns of whales, particularly baleen species. These filter-feeding giants routinely travel thousands of miles between cold polar feeding grounds and warmer breeding waters. For instance, female humpback whales feast on krill in the Gulf of Alaska, then journey to the Hawaiian Islands to give birth in snug, warmer seas — a necessity for their vulnerable, thin-blubbered calves. During these long migrations, whales often cease feeding and metabolize energy stored in their blubber. Consequently, they release concentrated nutrients — originally consumed in krill-rich polar waters — through their urine and feces into nutrient-poorer tropical areas. Scientists term this transcontinental nutrient transfer the Great Whale Conveyor Belt. The scale of this process is substantial. Research from 2025 indicates that gray, humpback, and right whales collectively transport close to 4,000 tonnes of nitrogen annually along this conveyor belt. In regions like the Hawaiian Islands, migrating whales can nearly double the nutrient levels entering the sunlit shallow seas. These nutrients serve as a critical fertilizer for phytoplankton — microscopic algae that form the foundation of the marine food web. By stimulating phytoplankton growth, whales indirectly energize entire ocean ecosystems, supporting everything from small fish to marine mammals. Historically this ecological role was even more pronounced.

Bigger kids at school sometimes bump into me or step on my toes for not seeing me. At the playground, little kids even try to boss me around. I used to try to make myself taller. I hung from the tree in our backyard to stretch out my limbs. I even ate my vegetables — all of them — but I never seemed to grow. “Don’t worry.” Mom said, “Being small has its benefits.” Really? I’d never noticed any. One day, Mrs. Alvarez told the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines before the audition, but I never got a chance to deliver them. As soon as I walked onstage, Mrs. Alvarez cried out, “Sophie! You’ll be perfect as the elf! You’re just the right size for the costume.” When the auditions were finished, Mom was waiting outside for me. “Mrs. Alvarez made me an elf,” I grumbled. “I don’t want to be in the play any more.” Patting my head, Mom comforted me that I would be the best elf in the play. I nodded reluctantly. In the play’s last scene, the main character finds a box under a giant mushroom. When she opens it, a dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals. He liked all the kids, but he seemed to like me best. Unexpectedly, something dramatic happened on the night of the show. When the box was opened, Prince jumped out as planned. He jumped into the giant mushroom, though, which fell over. Then he leaped off the stage and disappeared underneath it. Mrs. Alvarez called him, but he whimpered and refused to come out. The lights came on in the theater, and the audience started to fidget (坐立不安) in their seats. The entire class gathered at the edge of the stage. “How are we going to get him out of there?” Mrs. Alvarez asked. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I came out with the dog in my arms. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二部分 阅读 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
