Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet. About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. 1 started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why did he take the risk and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him. Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. It was the same comb. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before. 4.

When you decide to do something about your stress levels it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to turn your whole life upside down — quit your job, file for divorce, move to another country. Among all the stress management strategies out there we are forgetting one essential treatment — taking time for rest. For a long time, psychology was based on a clear division between body and mind. Psychologists focused almost only on what went on between our ears. The body was the responsibility of medical doctors and gym instructors. Recently, however, there has been a growing realization within psychology circles that the body and mind are closely connected with each other, far more than anyone ever imagined. You suffer more from stress when you are feeling run down or are suffering from a flu. If you have a bad night’s sleep, everything is more stressful the next day. While you are more likely to suffer from stress when you are feeling poorly, you can alleviate it by looking after your body. Rest is actually good for both body and mind. We all need at least a little time to think, to reflect on life and even just to be bored. Your free time is meant for relaxation and recovery, and that is impossible when you have too much to do. We need to relearn the art of rest, especially in these busy times. Getting enough rest is not just something we should do when we are exhausted. It is only when we take a good rest that we will be able to take a stand against stress. I like to imagine that in a few years from now it will be entirely acceptable to say, “Given how hard I worked last week on our project, this week I am going to take a day off.” 8. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Only modern people feel stressed. B. Psychologists don’t have to focus on the body. C. Quitting your job is the best way to reduce stress. D. Body and mind are strongly interacted with each other. 9. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Develop. B. Increase. C. Relieve. D. Maintain. 10. What can we know about rest? A. Rest contributes to mental relief. B. Rest will surely make people bored. C. The idea of rest is well accepted now. D. Rest is needed only when people are tired. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Physical Health Affects the Mind B. Rest is the Secret to Stress Relief C. Brain Processes Psychological Pain D. Good Life Starts with Stress Management 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了休息有助于精神放松，且身体和心灵是相互作用的，建议我们重新学习休息的艺术，尤其是在这个繁忙的时代。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Recently, however, there has been a growing realization within psychology circles that the body and mind are closely connected with each other, far more than anyone ever imagined.(然而，最近在心理学界，越来越多的人认识到，身体和心灵是紧密相连的，远比任何人想象的要紧密得多)”可知，作者可能会同意身体和心灵是相互作用的。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Rest is actually good for both body and mind.(休息实际上对身心都有好处)”以及“by looking after your body”可知，休息实际上对身心都有好处，即你可以通过照顾好自己的身体来缓解压力。故可推断alleviate意为“缓解”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It is only when we take a good rest that we will be able to take a stand against stress.(只有当我们好好休息时，我们才能对抗压力)”可知，休息有助于精神放松。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Among all the stress management strategies out there we are forgetting one essential treatment — taking time for rest.(在所有的压力管理策略中，我们忘记了一个重要的治疗方法——花时间休息)”结合文章主要说明了休息有助于精神放松，且身体和心灵是相互作用的，建议我们重新学习休息的艺术，尤其是在这个繁忙的时代。故B选项“休息是缓解压力的秘诀”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D How long does it take for a reader to get a book after placing an order in a library of over 8 million? The answer from a new library in suburban Beijing is less than 15 minutes. Located in the eastern district of Tongzhou, Beijing Library has become a popular destination since it opened. It received over 80, 000 visits during the three-day New Year holiday. Book lovers are attracted not only by the library’s architectural design, but also by its large collection of books and smart services. Covering some 75,000 square meters, Beijing Library houses over 8 million books. The towering stacks (书库) on the library’s basement floor contribute to its massive capacity. They are part of the largest single automated storage and retrieval (检索) system for books in China. The stacks have a total storage area of less than 3,000 square meters, yet they can store up to 7.1 million books largely due to their special design. Besides, the smart system includes various types of smart equipment like robots, which enable intelligent book delivery and sorting. The automated book storage and retrieval system functions like the smart brain of the library, enabling an array of highly efficient services that reduce manual labor. Beijing Library is not alone in adopting innovative storage methods. The Suzhou No. 2 Library, which opened in late 2019, was the first Chinese library to apply the smart book storage and retrieval system. To make borrowing books easier, visitors to Beijing Library can register for a seamless (无缝的) borrowing service empowered by facial recognition and other technologies. A digital guide at the library’s entrance also offers on-demand interactions with visitors. Readers who want to avoid travel to the library can use the online borrowing service, which will deliver the book to their doorstep. The library’s online borrowing service is open to readers not only in Beijing but also in neighboring areas. “It’s quite a refreshing experience to visit the library,” says Meng Fan, a local sixth-grader. “The books here enrich our mind, and some of the smart services here can blow our mind.” 12.

It is open to readers nationwide. B. It can deliver books in and around Beijing. C. It can only be used by the librarians. D. It still needs to be upgraded. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Smart Service of Beijing Library B. The Popularity of Beijing Library C. The History of Beijing Library D. The Future Development of Beijing Library 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了北京图书馆，包括其受欢迎的原因、藏书量、智能的图书存储和检索系统、便捷的借阅服务等，重点突出了其智能服务。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Book lovers are attracted not only by the library’s architectural design, but also by its large collection of books and smart services.( 引书迷的不仅是图书馆的建筑设计，还有它丰富的藏书和智能的服务。)”可知，北京图书馆吸引读者的原因不仅有建筑设计，还有大量的藏书和智能服务。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Besides, the smart system includes various types of smart equipment like robots, which enable intelligent book delivery and sorting. The automated book storage and retrieval system functions like the smart brain of the library, enabling an array of highly efficient services that reduce manual labor.( 此外，智能系统包括各种类型的智能设备，如机器人，可以实现智能图书交付和分类。自动图书存储和检索系统的功能就像图书馆的智能大脑，可以提供一系列高效的服务，减少人工劳动。)”以及第五段“Beijing Library is not alone in adopting innovative storage methods. The Suzhou No. 2 Library, which opened in late 2019, was the first Chinese library to apply the smart book storage and retrieval system.( 北京图书馆并不是唯一采用创新存储方法的图书馆。苏州第二图书馆于2019年底开馆，是国内首家应用智能图书检索系统的图书馆。)”可知，北京图书馆和苏州第二图书馆都采用了智能图书存储和检索系统。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Readers who want to avoid travel to the library can use the online borrowing service, which will deliver the book to their doorstep. The library’s online borrowing service is open to readers not only in Beijing but also in neighboring areas.( 想要避免去图书馆的读者可以使用在线借阅服务，该服务将把书送到他们家门口。该图书馆的网上借阅服务不仅对北京的读者开放，而且对邻近地区的读者开放。)”可知，北京图书馆的在线借阅服务不仅对北京的读者开放，也对周边地区的读者开放，并且会把书送到读者家门口，也就是它可以在北京及周边地区送书。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“It received over 80, 000 visits during the three-day New Year holiday. Book lovers are attracted not only by the library’s architectural design, but also by its large collection of books and smart services.( 在为期三天的新年假期中，它接待了8万多名游客。吸引书迷的不仅是图书馆的建筑设计，还有它丰富的藏书和智能的服务。)”可知，文章主要介绍了北京图书馆，包括其受欢迎的原因、藏书量、智能的图书存储和检索系统、便捷的借阅服务等，重点突出了其智能服务。A选项“北京图书馆的智能服务”能很好地概括文章内容，作为标题合适。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While the key to success in both personal and professional relationships lies in your ability to communicate well, it’s not the words that you use but your nonverbal cues or “body language” that speak the loudest.

However, the meaning of some gestures can be very different across cultures. ___19___, for example, usually conveys a positive message in English-speaking countries, it’s considered offensive in countries such as Germany, Russia, and Brazil. So, it’s important to be careful of using gestures so as to avoid misinterpretation. Space. Have you ever felt uneasy during a talk because the other person was standing too close? ___20___, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship.

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在人际交往中，肢体语言的重要性及其各种表现形式，包括面部表情、身体动作和姿势、手势以及空间距离等。 【16题详解】 根据上文内容“Body language is the use of physical behavior, expressions, and mannerisms to communicate nonverbally, often done instinctively rather than consciously.(肢体语言是指通过身体行为、表情和举止来进行非语言交流，通常是本能而非有意识地做出的。)”可知，上文提出肢体语言这一概念。选项B“There are many different types of nonverbal communication or body language(有许多不同类型的非语言交流或肢体语言。)”承上启下，自然引出下文各种类型的肢体语言。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文内容“The human face is extremely expressive.(人类的面部极具表现力。)”可知，上文指出人脸极具表现力。选项D“It is able to convey countless emotions without saying a word(它能够不说话就传达无数的情感。)”进一步解释了人脸是如何通过表情来表达情感的，与前文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Body movement and posture. Consider how your perceptions (看法) of people are affected by the way they sit, walk, stand, or hold their head.(身体动作和姿势。想想看，人们坐下、走路、站立或抬头的方式是如何影响你对他们的看法的。)”可知，本段主题是身体动作和姿势。选项A“The way you move and carry yourself communicates a wealth of information(你移动和保持自身姿势的方式传达了大量信息)”与本段主题相符，即身体的动作和姿势所传达的信息。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据下文“for example, usually conveys a positive message in English-speaking countries, it’s considered offensive in countries such as Germany, Russia, and Brazil. So, it’s important to be careful of using gestures so as to avoid misinterpretation.(例如，在英语国家通常传达积极的信息，但在德国、俄罗斯和巴西等国家，它却被认为是冒犯性的。所以，谨慎使用手势以避免产生误解是很重要的。)”可知，下文举例说明某个手势在不同文化中的不同含义。选项C“While the “OK” sign made with the hand(用手做出的“OK”手势)”与后文内容相呼应，是对后文例子的引出。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据本段首句“Space.”可知，本段主题为空间。根据空后“although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship.(尽管这种需求会因文化、情境以及关系的亲密程度而有所不同。)”可推测，空处为主句，且和下文存在转折关系。选项G“We all have a need for physical space(我们都对个人空间有需求)”中的“a need for physical space”和下文“need”保持一致，上下文逻辑连贯。故选G。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese.

Several days ago, when Evan passed by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”. 85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Eva befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day. Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan? Do you want flowers?” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Could you please hire me?” “A job?” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied that he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him. Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) of flowers for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Could you hire me?” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded. Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better. A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild of her. While making a huge bouquet of flowers for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed an envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan? I’d be delighted to have you here.” “I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. When he got home, he excitedly presented the big bouquet to his mom and said, “Happy birthday, Mom! I got this for you by working hard at Mrs. Carter’s store.” His mom was so touched that she hugged Evan tightly. Then, as she was admiring the beautiful flowers, she noticed the envelope. She opened it and was shocked to see the $200 inside. “Evan, this is too much money. We can’t keep it,” his mom said. Evan was confused and didn’t understand why his mom wouldn’t let him keep the money. Paragraph 2: Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they arrived at the store, Mrs. Carter was surprised to see them. Evan’s mom handed the envelope back to her and said, “Mrs. Carter, this is too much. Evan only wanted to work for the flowers for my birthday. We can’t accept this money.” Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “But Evan did a great job and he made my business better. This is his payment.” Evan’s mom still refused. Finally, Mrs. Carter said, “Well, if you don’t want to keep the money, you can use it to buy something for Evan. He deserves it.” Evan and his mom thanked Mrs. Carter and left the store, feeling happy and grateful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述8岁的Evan想通过在Carter夫人的花店工作为妈妈赢得一束花，工作一周后Carter夫人给了他一束花和200美元，Evan的妈妈认为钱太多，决定归还。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“拿着花，Evan冲回家给妈妈一个惊喜。”可知，第一段可描写Evan将花送给妈妈，妈妈发现花中的信封和钱，认为不能接受。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，Evan和他的妈妈匆忙去把钱还给Carter夫人。”可知，第二段可描写他们归还钱时与Carter夫人的对话，Carter夫人坚持认为这是Evan应得的，最后妈妈决定用这笔钱给Evan买东西。 2. 续写线索：Evan送花给妈妈——妈妈发现钱——妈妈决定还钱——与Carter夫人对话——妈妈决定用钱给Evan买东西 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace/hold ②欣赏：admire/appreciate ③打开：open/unfold 情绪类 ①感动：touched/moved/affected ②困惑：confused/puzzled 【点睛】[高分句型1] His mom was so touched that she hugged Evan tightly.(运用了so...that...引导结果状语从句) [高分句型2] Evan was confused and didn’t understand why his mom wouldn’t let him keep the money.(运用了连接副词why引导宾语从句) [高分句型3] Finally, Mrs. Carter said, “Well, if you don’t want to keep the money, you can use it to buy something for Evan.

B Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office, I’d watch as he put his personal items away; his watch, wallet, comb and car keys They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time. Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet. About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. 1 started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why did he take the risk and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him. Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. It was the same comb. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before. 4. From the first three paragraphs, we can learn___________. A. the author would study with Dad every evening B. the precious green comb of Dad was made of jade C. the earliest memories with Dad were full of joy D. the author was unwilling to clean the comb for Dad 5.

My Earliest Memories with Dad C Stress is common in modern society. When you decide to do something about your stress levels it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to turn your whole life upside down — quit your job, file for divorce, move to another country. Among all the stress management strategies out there we are forgetting one essential treatment — taking time for rest. For a long time, psychology was based on a clear division between body and mind. Psychologists focused almost only on what went on between our ears. The body was the responsibility of medical doctors and gym instructors. Recently, however, there has been a growing realization within psychology circles that the body and mind are closely connected with each other, far more than anyone ever imagined. You suffer more from stress when you are feeling run down or are suffering from a flu. If you have a bad night’s sleep, everything is more stressful the next day. While you are more likely to suffer from stress when you are feeling poorly, you can alleviate it by looking after your body. Rest is actually good for both body and mind. We all need at least a little time to think, to reflect on life and even just to be bored. Your free time is meant for relaxation and recovery, and that is impossible when you have too much to do. We need to relearn the art of rest, especially in these busy times. Getting enough rest is not just something we should do when we are exhausted. It is only when we take a good rest that we will be able to take a stand against stress. I like to imagine that in a few years from now it will be entirely acceptable to say, “Given how hard I worked last week on our project, this week I am going to take a day off.” 8. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Only modern people feel stressed. B. Psychologists don’t have to focus on the body. C. Quitting your job is the best way to reduce stress. D. Body and mind are strongly interacted with each other. 9. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Develop. B. Increase. C. Relieve. D. Maintain. 10. What can we know about rest? A. Rest contributes to mental relief. B. Rest will surely make people bored. C. The idea of rest is well accepted now. D. Rest is needed only when people are tired. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Physical Health Affects the Mind B. Rest is the Secret to Stress Relief C. Brain Processes Psychological Pain D. Good Life Starts with Stress Management D How long does it take for a reader to get a book after placing an order in a library of over 8 million? The answer from a new library in suburban Beijing is less than 15 minutes. Located in the eastern district of Tongzhou, Beijing Library has become a popular destination since it opened. It received over 80, 000 visits during the three-day New Year holiday. Book lovers are attracted not only by the library’s architectural design, but also by its large collection of books and smart services. Covering some 75,000 square meters, Beijing Library houses over 8 million books. The towering stacks (书库) on the library’s basement floor contribute to its massive capacity. They are part of the largest single automated storage and retrieval (检索) system for books in China. The stacks have a total storage area of less than 3,000 square meters, yet they can store up to 7.1 million books largely due to their special design. Besides, the smart system includes various types of smart equipment like robots, which enable intelligent book delivery and sorting. The automated book storage and retrieval system functions like the smart brain of the library, enabling an array of highly efficient services that reduce manual labor. Beijing Library is not alone in adopting innovative storage methods. The Suzhou No. 2 Library, which opened in late 2019, was the first Chinese library to apply the smart book storage and retrieval system. To make borrowing books easier, visitors to Beijing Library can register for a seamless (无缝的) borrowing service empowered by facial recognition and other technologies. A digital guide at the library’s entrance also offers on-demand interactions with visitors. Readers who want to avoid travel to the library can use the online borrowing service, which will deliver the book to their doorstep.

Several days ago, when Evan passed by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”. 85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Eva befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day. Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan? Do you want flowers?” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Could you please hire me?” “A job?” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied that he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him. Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) of flowers for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Could you hire me?” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded. Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better. A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild of her. While making a huge bouquet of flowers for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed an envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan? I’d be delighted to have you here.” “I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
