M：Really？ I don’t think the tent is going to fit.And the sleeping bags and fishing equipment take up a lot of space， too. （Text 2） M：You can change planes in either Chicago or Denver. W：You mean there’s no direct flight from New York to Atlanta？ （Text 3） M：Cindy， how are you getting along with the translation work？ W：I have written and rewritten so much that I don’t know if I’ll ever get it finished. （Text 4） W：What is the time？ M：It’s a quarter past nine by my watch. W：My favourite program Sing！China will be on soon.Don’t switch the channel.You can turn to the computer for your favourite football match. （Text 5） W：What do you think of McDonald’s？ M：It’s a good place for children — good foods and a safe place for them to have fun.The foods are of great quality and children love the chips there. W：No， I don’t agree.Look， how fat some of the children in this city are！ Keep your children away from fatty food. （Text 6） W：Good morning， sir.May I help you？ M：Oh， yes.I’m looking for a pair of sports shoes in size 8. W：OK.Follow me， please ...What do you think of this pair？ M：They look nice.How much are they？ W：They are 40 dollars， but I can give you a 10 percent discount. M：Good. （Text 7） M：Where were you this morning？ W：This morning？ I was at home， helping my mother.We don’t have classes on Saturday， you know. M：Why weren’t you at school？ Weren’t you on the clean-up committee for the dance？ W：No， I wasn’t on that committee.I was on the decorating committee. M：Oh！ Well， the decorations were very nice. W：We worked on them all day Friday.Were you at the dance last night？ M：Yes， I was.I didn’t see you there. W：I was there， but there were a lot of people， and I didn’t stay very long. M：It was a nice dance， wasn’t it？ W：Yes， I enjoyed it very much. （Text 8） M：Hello！ I’m calling about the apartment you have advertised in today’s Daily Mail. W：Yes.I will have a trip， so the house will be empty for two weeks. M：Great！ I’d like to hire a short period of time.Two weeks is just enough.Could you introduce your apartment to me？ W：Sure.It’s a one-bedroom apartment with a big balcony.But it has a small kitchen. M：That’s just my cup of tea.What’s the price？ W：$400 per month.You need only to pay for electricity， for gas and water are included.And you can use the parking lot free of charge. M：Sounds good.Then I can save some money.May I come over tomorrow to take a look？ W：Today is Wednesday.How about the day after tomorrow？ I’ve got an appointment tomorrow. M：OK. （Text 9） W：My guest today is Tim Jones， who organises an international summer course for young musicians.Tim， tell us all about it. M：Well， I’m lucky to have such a great job.Basically， young musicians come from all over the world and learn to play together to have a concert tour.By the end of the eight-week course， they’re really good， and hearing them play is what gives me most pleasure.Unfortunately， I don’t get to know them all that well， as organising every single small thing of the course keeps me busy. W：So， how do you find the young musicians？ M：We advertise online.Anyone between the ages of 16 and 20 can complete the application form and e-mail it to us.We’re not looking for the perfect performance or the good-looking stars of tomorrow.But the course is in English， so a basic level of spoken language is necessary. W：Where is the course held？ M：Mostly in a university during the summer holidays.They have halls for practicing， and plenty of bedrooms and dining rooms， which is a low cost for us.And of course， convenient transport is a must， so somewhere in the quiet countryside is no good， even though it is more spacious there. （Text 10） Some people say the higher you climb， the harder you fall.But those people probably would not be rock climbers.About nine million people go rock climbing in the United States.Millions more take part in the activity around the world.Rock climbing can be dangerous.But there are a lot of methods and equipment that can increase a climber’s safety.Climbing takes strength， control， and good balance.Climbers have to pull themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls.So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight.And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are several kinds of rock climbing.Traditional rock climbing is done outside.Climbers wear ropes and attach equipment to the rocks.They also connect their ropes to the equipment.If a climber slips， a rope can stop him from falling.Sport climbing is similar.However， in that sport， the safety equipment is permanently placed in the rock.There is also indoor climbing.Rock walls made of wood or concrete have places for the climber’s hands and feet.Climbers use their legs to climb； arms and hands are for position and balance.People almost always climb in groups of two or more.Climbing alone is very dangerous.Expert rock climbers say only the very best in the sport should do it. 第二部分 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了洛杉矶的四个跳蚤市场。 21.C　细节理解题。根据Melrose Trading Post部分末句可知，梅尔罗斯交易站筹集的资金用于支持教育活动。 22.A　细节理解题。根据Melrose Trading Post部分首句可知，梅尔罗斯交易站每周开放1天；根据Silverlake Flea部分首句可知，银湖跳蚤市场每周开放2天；根据Pasadena City College Flea Market部分首句可知，帕萨迪纳城市学院跳蚤市场每月开放1天；根据Santa Monica Airport Outdoor Antique & Collectible Market部分首句可知，圣莫尼卡机场户外古董与收藏品市场每月开放2天。由此可知，银湖跳蚤市场向公众开放的频率最高。 23.D　细节理解题。根据Pasadena City College Flea Market部分末句和本文最后两句可知，这两个跳蚤市场都能吸引追求时尚生活的人。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章指出消费者当下购买的食物多为垃圾食品，包装标签难以帮助他们判断食物好坏，智利等多国改变食品标签且取得成效，美国实施新标签法遇阻，但有研究表明其负面影响小，应该推行这种措施。 24.B　段落大意题。根据第一段可知，本段指出食品标签不能有效帮助消费者判断食物是否有益这一问题，强调的是食品标签存在的问题。 25.A　推理判断题。根据第四段可推知，这些具体的数据和例子表明，食品上的警告标签能够切实有效地影响人们在购物时的选择，从而改变他们的购买行为。 26.C　词义猜测题。根据画线词上下文可知，这里有转折，虽然食品生产商反对警告标签，认为这成本高且成本会转嫁给消费者，但实际上影响不大，对工资和利润影响应该是“微不足道的，不值一提的”，画线词意思与insignificant“微不足道的，不显著的”接近。 27.D　推理判断题。作者在文中列举了其他国家实施食品警告标签取得的积极效果，并在最后一段中指出这一举措在美国应该也是可行的。由此可知，作者对在美国采用警告标签持支持态度。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了市场营销中“简单即更好”这一普遍真理的局限性。文章通过助理教授Nick Light的研究，揭示了过度强调简单性可能带来的隐藏成本和风险，提醒营销人员在构建品牌和广告策略时要更加谨慎。 28.B　词义猜测题。根据第二段第二、三句可知，Nick Light表示“简单性并不是万能的解决方案”，即简单性并不总是有效的，对于某些公司或市场情况可能存在风险。因此，a silver bullet在这里指的是“一个万全之策”。 29.C　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，在床垫业务中，由于产品和购买过程被标榜为简单，当客户遇到问题时，他们可能会感到更加沮丧和不满。由此可推测出，在床垫业务中使用简单性导致了客户不满情绪上升。 30.D　细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，广告设计在塑造消费者对品牌看法方面起着重要作用。由此可知，主要影响消费者对品牌看法的是广告设计塑造的印象。 31.C　观点态度题。根据最后一段末句可知，作者认为在围绕简单性构建品牌和广告策略时需要小心处理，以避免潜在的风险。由此可推断，作者对营销简单性持谨慎态度。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能对未来工作的影响。 32.B　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，Tony Ryan预测有些工作仍然需要人类。 33.D　细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知，Professor Cropley认为在医疗咨询中，医生仍然做最终决定的原因是医疗咨询仍然需要人与人的互动。 34.C　推理判断题。根据第五段可知，他以此为例来解释AI在协助工人方面的作用，即AI像锤子和锯子一样，只是使人类的工作更容易、更高效，并不会取代人类。 35.A　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第二段可知，文章主要介绍了随着人工智能的发展，未来工作世界将会发生很大的变化。A项（在人工智能世界中的未来工作）最适合作本文标题。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了共享经济模式的兴起及其对传统租赁业务的影响。 36.G　空后列举亚马逊和eBay两个购物网站，空处应该总起全文，引出一种和亚马逊和eBay有关的经济形式。G项（共享经济有点像15年前在美国兴起的网上购物）引出下文，符合语境。 37.C　空前说明了现有的租赁企业也在参与进来，空处应该举例说明具体有什么租赁企业参与进来。C项（汽车租赁公司Avis在共享汽车竞争对手中占有股份。GM和Daimler这两家汽车制造商也是如此）承接上文，符合语境。 38.B　设空处为主题句，根据下文可知，本段主要阐述租赁企业存在监管的问题。B项（主要的担忧是监管的不确定性）说明了人们的担忧是监管的不确定性，引出下文，符合语境。 39.F　空后描述一种新型模式，空处应该引出这种新兴模式。F项（对于善于交际的人来说，待在家里结识新朋友是魅力的一部分）提出了在家里结识新朋友这种新的模式，引出下文，符合语境。 40.A　空前是对这一新兴模式的评价和描述，空处应该介绍我们对这种新型模式应该做什么反应。A项（是时候开始关心分享了）说明了我们应该采取的行动，承接上文，符合语境。 第三部分 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了二手时尚的兴起及其背后的原因，包括环保意识、价格因素以及转售平台的技术改进等。 41.B　根据下文可知，转售平台的繁荣与时尚品牌的困境形成对比。 42.A　根据下文可知，平台上的商品需要被列出以供销售。 43.D　根据下文以及常识可知，二手商品有利于环保。 44.C　根据上文可知，此处表示二氧化碳排放量超过了航运和航空旅行的总和。 45.A　根据下文可知，价格是主要驱动因素。 46.A　根据下文可知，为了吸引更多的人卖掉他们的旧衣服。 47.B　根据下文可知，转售平台正在寻求使这个过程更便宜、更容易。

giant可知，威胁来自竞争。 55.A　上下文为让步性转折关系，应用转折连词though。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“一带一路”倡议的背景、目标及其对世界和平与发展的重要意义。 56.has reached　考查时态。分析句子结构可知，空处在句子里充当谓语，根据时间状语So far可知，需用现在完成时，主语是China，助动词用has。 57.in　考查介词。根据空后many fields可知，空处应用介词in，构成固定搭配in many fields“在诸多领域”。 58.is　考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处在句子里充当谓语，此处描述的是现在的事实，需用一般现在时。主语是the spirit，是单数，谓语动词用单数形式。 59.known　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处应用非谓语动词，动词know与逻辑主语The Belt and Road之间为被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语。 60.a　考查冠词。此处泛指一个贸易网络，且trade的发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。 61.which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是countries and organizations，指物，从句中缺少主语，需用关系代词which。 62.third　考查序数词。根据空前one和空后of the world’s GDP可知，这里表达的是“三分之一”，分母应该用序数词third。 63.popularity　考查名词。根据空前The和空后of可知，空处作主语，应用名词popularity，且不可数。 64.its　考查代词。根据空后roots可知，此处应用形容词性物主代词its。 65.Hopefully　考查副词。根据空后world peace and development will

fascinating culture. Regarding digital payment， I’d like to introduce two very popular options here： WeChat Pay and Alipay. These mobile payment platforms are widely accepted across the country， which range from street vendors to shopping malls. You’ll need to link them with your bank card for transactions. They’re convenient， secure， and support English interfaces. 　　Looking forward to your arrival！ Best regards， Li Hua 第二节 　　After a long and difficult internal struggle， Billy made up his mind. Clenching the ring tightly in his hand， he returned to his usual spot， hoping the woman would come back. Days passed， and he kept the ring safe despite hunger and cold. Finally， one afternoon， he recognized her hurried footsteps. “Excuse me，” he called out， his voice trembling. “I think this belongs to you.” The woman stared at the ring in disbelief， tears welling in her eyes. “I can’t thank you enough，” she whispered， overwhelmed by his honesty in such hardship. 　　The woman was touched by Billy’s act of honesty and decided to help him. She shared his story online， inspiring donations from strangers worldwide. With the funds， she helped Billy rent a small apartment and find a steady job. Years later， Billy no longer begged but worked as a shelter volunteer， guiding others toward hope. His grandfather’s lesson had not only restored a lost treasure but also rebuilt a life. The ring’s true value， he realized， lay not in its price but in the kindness it awakened. 10 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 单元质量检测（四）　Everyday economics （满分150分，时间120分钟） 第一部分　听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.What are the speakers probably doing？（　　） A.Preparing for camping.　B.Buying sleeping bags.

B 　　（2025·江苏无锡高二下期末）Whether you shop for food in a traditional grocery store or a big-box store， most of your options are junk foods. Terms on food packaging like “low fat”， “gluten-free”， “keto-friendly” and “a good source of fiber” don’t answer the fundamental question： Is this food good for me？ There is little reliable guidance available for people who don’t have the time， patience or skill to analyze the nutrition labels. 　　But what we really need is a bold （大胆的） move that would be to prevent people from buying food that’s bad for them： a warning sign that a high-sugar soda or breakfast cereal product， for example， is an unhealthy choice. 　　Chile， Mexico， Brazil and dozens of other countries have worked to change food labeling. Research has suggested that these labels can help people understand nutritional quality and change their purchasing habits. Finally， the goal of the labels is to improve nutrition and reduce the consumption of over-processed foods. 　　After Chile adopted several rules in 2016， researchers found that the consumption of drinks high in sugar and sodium declined by nearly 25 percent. In Uruguay a survey published in 2020 assessing the early effects of nutritional warnings found that 58 percent of participants who noticed the warning changed their decisions about buying a product. Of those who changed their decisions， 17 percent said they chose a similar product with fewer warnings， and 18 percent decided not to buy a similar product at all. 　　In the United States， new labeling laws will be much more challenging to take effect. As you might expect， food producers will surely try to stop warning labels from being required. They are arguing that these plans would be costly and that those costs would be passed on to consumers. But research conducted soon after Chile’s food labeling and advertising law passed showed no effects on total employment and negligible effects on wages （工资） and profit， even as consumer consumption of unhealthy foods declined. 　　To be clear， this is just one of many steps toward providing all Americans with a healthy diet. But knowable front-of-package labeling is one of the best levers （杠杆） available to policymakers， and it is already working elsewhere. It can work here， too. 24.What does paragraph 1 focus on？（　　） A.The doubt about nutrition. B.The problem with labels. C.The doubt about package. D.The problem with food. 25.What do the examples of Chile and Uruguay show？（　　） A.Warning labels can effectively change people’s buying behavior. B.People in the two countries have better nutrition awareness. C.Food producers there work well with the government. D.The consumption of over-processed foods has been stopped. 26.What does the underlined word “negligible” in paragraph 5 mean？（　　） A.Obvious. B.Lasting. C.Insignificant. D.Huge. 27.What’s the author’s attitude towards adopting warning labels in the United States？（　　） A.Unclear. B.Opposing. C.Doubtful. D.Supportive. C 　　（2025·山东枣庄高二下期末）For decades， “simpler is better” has been accepted as a universal truth in marketing. Nick Light， assistant professor of marketing at the UO Lundquist College of Business， has tested that assumption. He found that most consumers prefer offerings that appear to be easy to use and understand. However， pushing simplicity can have a hidden， costly downside. 　　“Simplicity is not a silver bullet，” Light said. “This method might work for established companies with track records to back up their claims. But it can be risky for a start-up with no history or a company in a complicated market category where failures or breakdowns are more common. 　　Light’s earlier experience stimulated his interest in the study. He was a marketing manager at a direct-to-consumer mattress （床垫） company. With the catchword “one perfect mattress”， the company offered only one mattress model shipped directly to the consumer’s door， dramatically simplifying the mattress-buying process. “Some customers calling with even minor problems such as a slight discoloration （褪色） in the material， would get really angry，” Light said. “They would say things like，” I don’t understand what’s so difficult about this， “even when producing and shipping mattresses are quite complex. These customers were getting overly upset because the product and process had been labeled as simple.” 　　The study also showed that consumers judged the complexity of brands or products based on their mental connections. For example， when study participants viewed advertisements for two different companies， they formed mental pictures of the simplicity or complexity of the brand depending on how plain or busy the art was and the details provided in each ad. 　　Light also looked into product quality and customer opinions and found that consumers are less likely to recommend simpler brands after failures compared to more complex brands. Therefore， the lesson for marketers is to be more careful about building branding and advertising strategies around simplicity， because they could easily backfire if the product or service fails to deliver. 28.What does the underlined words “a silver bullet” in paragraph 2 mean？（　　） A.A risky investment. B.A cure-all solution. C.A quick-fix method. D.A business strategy. 29.What did the use of simplicity in the mattress business lead to？（　　） A.Longer transport time for goods. B.Reduced expenses for producers. C.Rising customer dissatisfaction. D.More comments from customers. 30.What mainly influence consumers’ views on a brand according to the study？（　　） A.The company’s historical background. B.The diversity of color in its packaging. C.The advertising reviews on its website. D.The impressions shaped by ad design. 31.What’s the author’s opinion of marketing simplicity？（　　） A.Disapproving. B.Favorable. C.Cautious. D.Subjective. D 　　（2025·安徽合肥高二下期末） The world of work will likely look very different by the time the current generation of kids finishes high school. 　　Experts in careers and education have predicted that advances in technology， especially artificial intelligence， will transform the way humans work in the future. Education futurist and school consultant Tony Ryan said artificial intelligence will transform the future workforce across every industry， making some jobs outdated while creating others. 　　While some jobs could be replaced by robots， others will still need a human touch. Mr Ryan said jobs requiring “empathy and connection”， such as teaching， social work and nursing， would continue to be needed in the future. “We need to be careful that we don’t be so crazy about the technology that we allow it to take our humanity，” he said. 　　Professor David Cropley from the University of South Australia said advancing technology would shape the careers of today’s kids as AI products continued to advance.“However， I don’t think these will simply replace humans in the world of work. Rather， I see them as a tool to assist human specialists，” Professor Cropley said. “For example， with medical diagnosis （诊断）， doctors will consult with their AI assistant to confirm what is visible on an X-ray. The AI provides an input but does not replace the human in making the final decision. This is because something like a medical consultation still begins and ends with a human interaction.” 　　He predicted that some blue-collar jobs， such as shearing （剪） a sheep， would still need a human to perform them. “The automation and AI， as capable as it might be， is still really just a very fancy tool，” Professor Cropley said.“Hammers and saws didn’t displace carpenters （木匠）， they just made the job of carpentry easier and more efficient for the human.” 　　Critical and creative thinkers with skills in science， technology， engineering and mathematics would also be in high demand by 2038， he said. 32.What did Tony Ryan predict about the future workforce？（　　） A.All jobs will be replaced by AI. B.Some jobs will still need humans. C.AI will only impact certain industries. D.AI will create more jobs than it destroys. 33.Based on Professor Cropley’s statement， why do doctors still make the final decision in medical consultations？（　　） A.AI is not accurate enough. B.AI cannot understand human emotions. C.Doctors are more qualified than AI assistants. D.Medical consultations require human interaction. 34.Why did Professor Cropley mention hammers and saws in his statement？（　　） A.To show the history of tools. B.To predict the future of carpentry jobs. C.To explain AI’s role in assisting workers. D.To emphasize the power of automation. 35.Which could be the most suitable title for the passage？（　　） A.The Future of Work in an AI World B.The Rise of Robots in the Workforce C.How AI Will Replace Human Workers D.The Future of Human Empathy in AI Jobs 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。 　　（2025·浙江丽水高二下期末） 36.（　　） At first， people were worried about security. But having made a successful purchase from， say， Amazon， they felt safe buying elsewhere. Similarly， using Airbnb or a car-hire service for the first time encourages people to try other offerings. Next， consider eBay. Having started out as a peer-to-peer marketplace， it is now dominated by professional “power seller” （many of whom started out as ordinary eBay users）. The same may happen with the sharing economy， which also provides new opportunities for enterprise. Some people have bought cars solely to rent them out， for example. 　　Existing rental businesses are getting involved too.37.（　　） In future， companies may develop hybrid （混合的） models， listing excess capacity （whether vehicles， equipment or office space） on peer-to-peer rental sites. In the past， new ways of doing things online have not displaced the old ways entirely. But they have often changed them. Just as Internet shopping forced Wal-mart and Tesco to adapt， so online sharing will shake up transport， tourism， equipment-hire and more. 　　38.（　　） Will room-renters be subject to hotel taxes， for example？ In Amsterdam officials are using Airbnb listings to track down unlicensed hotels. In some American cities， peer-to-peer taxi services have been banned after lobbying by traditional taxi firms. The danger is that although some rules need to be updated to protect consumers from harm， existing rental businesses will try to destroy competition. People who rent out rooms should pay tax， of course， but they should not be regulated like a Ritz-Carlton hotel. The lighter rules that typically govern bed-and-breakfasts are more than adequate. 　　39.（　　） This emerging model is now big and disruptive （颠覆性的） enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its immense potential. 40.（　　） A.It is time to start caring about sharing. B.The main worry is regulatory uncertainty. C.Avis， a car-hire firm， has a share in a sharing rival. So do GM and Daimler， two carmakers. D.But the remarkable thing is how well the system usually works. E.The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet’s value to consumers. F.For sociable souls， meeting new people by staying in their homes is part of the charm.

Some 30，000 items are now newly 　42　 on Vinted， a resale site， every day. 　　Some shoppers buy second-hand for 　43　 reasons.

Stretched consumers are increasingly turning to used goods to save money. 　　To entice （诱使） more people to 　46　 their used clothes， resale platforms are looking to make the process 　47　 and easier. Vinted removed listing fees for sellers （it 　48　 a fee of around 5％ to buyers instead）. Besides， resale platforms are now investing in artificial intelligence tools to help sellers fill in product 　49　 and advise on pricing. 　　Resale platforms are using technology to improve the experience for 　50　， too.

Life had not been kind to him， and each day was a struggle to survive. As he sat on the sidewalk， holding his cup， he would often reflect on his past and wonder how he had ended up in such a difficult situation. The sound of coins clinking （叮当） into his cup was a small comfort， a reminder that there were still kind people in the world who cared enough to help him get through another day. 　　One morning， as Billy sat in his usual spot， he heard the familiar sound of coins dropping into his cup. But this time， the noise was louder than usual. If he had looked up， he’d have seen a young lady on her way to work. But he didn’t. She was in a hurry and didn’t realize that， along with some change， she had accidentally dropped her diamond ring into Billy’s cup. It wasn’t until later， when Billy finally looked into his cup， that he noticed something unusual. Among the coins was a shiny diamond ring. He picked it up and examined it closely， hardly believing his eyes. It was a beautiful ring， and he knew it must be worth a lot of money. 　　Billy’s first thought was to take the ring to a jeweler and sell it. He did just that， and to his astonishment， the jeweler offered him $4，000 for it. This was more money than Billy had seen in years. He could use the money to change his life — buy food， rent a room， maybe even start over. But as he stood there， holding the ring， he thought about his grandfather， who had always brought him up to do the right thing， and knew he had to reconsider. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 　　After a long and difficult internal struggle， Billy made up his mind.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　The woman was touched by Billy’s act of honesty and decided to help him.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 10 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
