The first draft feels like an exciting first date — full of promise and relaxation. You finish with a broad smile, imagining readers applauding your brilliance. But that honeymoon period lasts only about 48 hours. Soon, the sinking feeling sets in as you revisit your draft, realizing the hard part has just begun. Rewriting is where real writers emerge. It’s time to dig deep, pulling out the tools and techniques you’ve gathered over the years. You revisit your favorite authors, hoping they’ll offer guidance for navigating the rocky road of revision. Rewriting demands you comb through each sentence, ensuring it contains the exact right word. Every character must earn its place in the story, and each chapter should contribute meaningfully to the narrative. Even your beloved pieces of dialogue may need to be cut. I learned this while working on my novel. The rewriting process haunted (萦绕) me, and I often questioned if the effort was worth it. One night, nearing 2 a.m. after an exhausting session, I thought about abandoning my work. That’s when I came across the film In Time, which highlighted my deepest fear: the time invested in my novel. At that moment, I struck a deal with myself. I decided to cease the self-criticism and recapture the joy that fueled my writing. I committed to evaluating my work page by page, asking, “Do I love it?” If not, I replaced it. Here’s my advice: reawaken your passion and examine your work one page at a time. Writing is a journey, and the rewriting period bridges inspiration and a satisfying finished product. Remember, the “right word” is the key to excellence. 4. What do Mark Twain’s words imply? A. Revising is a rocky road. B. Readers’ feeling matters. C. Quoting precisely is a must. D. The first draft rarely falls short. 5. What does the author think of rewriting? A. Time-wasting. B. Labor-saving. C. Heartbreaking. D. Painstaking. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Which word should be highlighted. B. Why the writing process is questioned. C. What the film In Time talks about. D. How the passion for rewriting is fueled. 7. What does the author’s advice show? A. The role of inspiration in writing. B. The importance of proper wording. C. The reason for making rewriting unique. D. The journey to creating an excellent product. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7.

Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 8. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song? A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure. C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage. 9. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 10. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 11. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results? A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features. C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的研究人员成功利用机器人导师，让一种南美小鸟——雄性红领带鹀重新学会了一首曾是该物种文化一部分，但已消失半个多世纪的歌曲，以及研究过程、结果和意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.(布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的研究人员已成功使用机器人导师，教南美一种小型鸟类 —— 雄性红领带鹀 学习一首曾属于该物种文化、但已消失半个多世纪的鸣唱)”以及最后一段“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity (这不仅是为了保护遗传多样性，也是为了保护文化多样性)”可知，研究人员教鸟儿这首歌是为了保护鸟类的文化遗产。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” (它用来吸引雌鸟和保护领地。这是鸟儿表达“这就是我，我就在这里”的方式。)”可知，红领带鹀的歌声是它们的社会身份标识。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. (中间有随机停顿，这样鸟儿就会把放置在该区域的三个设备播放的声音当作真实的交流，就好像这些设备在互相回应一样。这刺激了鸟类的发声反应。)”可知，随机停顿的目的是诱使鸟儿进行互动。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. (年轻的红领带鹀学习并采用了这首歌，尽管它们在最后的颤音中加入了自己种群的“口音”，这表明它们的歌声是由习得行为和先天特征共同塑造的。)”可知，从红领带鹀的学习结果中我们可以了解到它们的歌声表现出特殊的发声特征。故选B项。 D When you rub (摩擦) a balloon on your skin, it produces electricity — a familiar example of charge separation (电荷分离), a process in which opposite charges are separated, creating electric potential. Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets. Conventional hydropower (水力发电) relies on large water flows, which only work in places like rivers. For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective. To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device. At both ends of the device — the top of the newly-designed tube (about 2 millimeters in width), and the water-collecting cup at the bottom — electrical wires were placed to harvest charges. First, water is released from a metal needle, forming rain-like droplets. When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow,” in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. This flow is crucial because it allows more surface contact and more time for charges to build up, generating up to 100, 000 times more charge separation than continuous flow. As charged droplets exit the tube and fall into the cup, charges build up in the water, creating an electric current. In tests, four tubes produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds. According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably, especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains — a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology. 12. What problem do the NUS researchers aim to solve? A. The difficulty of separating charges. B. The lack of clean electricity sources. C. The inefficiency of charge harvesting. D. The damage of traditional hydropower. 13. Which of the following best illustrates “plug flow”? A. B. C. D. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the model? A. Its potential cost in urban areas. B. Its promising use in green energy. C. Its complex design for rain power. D. Its practical need for more devices. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Revolutionary Energy from Raindrops B. Urgent Demand for Sustainable Energy C. Capturing Raindrops through Innovation D. Turning Charge Separation into Electricity 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新加坡国立大学的研究人员通过利用雨滴撞击窄管产生的电荷分离效应，开发出一种新型发电装置，有效解决了小流量水发电效率低的问题，展示了雨滴发电在绿色能源领域的巨大潜力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective. (对于更小、更慢的水流，研究人员已经探索了电荷分离。他们用一根管子让水不断流过。电荷聚集在水接触的表面。通过这种方式，研究人员可以收集电荷，但效果远不理想。)”可知，研究人员面临的问题是收集电荷的效率很低。因此，NUS研究人员旨在解决的问题是电荷收集的低效性。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow,” in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. (当这些水滴进入管道时，它们的撞击会产生“塞流”，即水形成由气隙隔开的小柱。)”可知，“塞流”指的是水形成由气隙隔开的小柱，结合选项可知，D项符合“塞流”的特点。故选D项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably, especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains — a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology. (根据该研究的主要作者的说法，这个模型展示了如何有效地和可持续地利用雨水来发电，特别是在像新加坡这样的多雨地区。它的潜力是巨大的，因为它即使在城市中也提供了一种替代能源。想象一下，在你的屋顶上有一个雨水收集装置，每当下雨时都能产生少量的电力——对雨滴来说是一小步，但对可持续能源技术来说是一大步。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是该模型在绿色能源方面有前景的应用。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets. (现在，新加坡国立大学（NUS）的研究人员利用这种效应，利用类似雨滴的水滴发电。)”可知，文章主要介绍了新加坡国立大学的研究人员利用雨滴撞击窄管产生的电荷分离效应来发电，展示了雨滴发电在绿色能源领域的巨大潜力，因此，A项“Revolutionary Energy from Raindrops (来自雨滴的革命性能源)”是最合适的标题。故选A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。 When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question, do you find yourself-needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made? ____16____. You tend to explain something in more detail — than required and beyond what is useful. ____17____ For someone asking a question, an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a direct and simple response just works. However, for the person answering, they feel worried that the “direct and simple response’’ doesn’t get across enough information. Overexplaining may start from a young age, especially for those who grew up in a house where they felt like they weren’t listened to or heard. ____18____This fear can follow into adulthood and lead to a need to explain everything so that they’re not punished again. Overexplaining might have developed as a handling strategy and defence mechanism, making it hard to stop, especially when coupled with a fear of rejection or being abandoned. It’s hard to stop overexplaining when it’s hardwired into your brain. The key is being aware and noticing when you’re explaining more than you should. Once you recognize it, you can try to hold back a little, It takes time to learn how to wrestle with the urge to say more. ____19____. One of the hardest things is learning to “just say no”, When you’re asked to do something you don’t really want to do, it can be difficult not to explain in detail. ____20____In truth, the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt. However, you don’t owe anyone an explanation in a decline. It’s perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.” A. In this case you are overexplaining. B. But it gets easier with more practice. C. You feel sorry for what you have explained. D. Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation. E. They were worried about the environment they grew up in. F. Maybe they even got punished without a chance to explain. G. By overexplaining, you intend to save the other person’s feelings. 【答案】16.

We stared at each other. We were only 13 and 14 years old. This teacher was crazy. That. was pretty much how the kids looked at Virginia DeView. Because of her physical appearance and demanding teaching, most of us just ignored her brilliance. “Yes, you will all be searching for your future professions,” she continued with a light on her face. “You will each write a research paper on a career you might pursue. Each of you will have to interview someone in your field and give an oral report.” All of us were confused. Who knows what they want to do at 13? I liked art, singing and writing. But I was terrible at art, and when I sang, my sisters screamed, “Oh, please shut up.” The only thing left was writing. Finally, most of us students had selected something; I picked journalism. This meant I had to interview a newspaper reporter in person, and I was terrified. Finally, I sat down in front of a reporter, barely able to speak. Realizing I was terrified, he shared stories that had stayed with him long after they were printed. He talked about moments when a few lines in a newspaper helped someone be seen, or when telling the truth made a real difference in a stranger’s life. He understood the power of words - and why he could never walk away from this job. A few days later, I gave my oral report totally from memory. I had been so engaged and I got an A for the project. I felt a great pride. For the first time, I realized that writing quietly stayed with me, becoming a real part of my life. However, as I approached university, my family urged me to consider a more practical path and I ended up majoring in business. But I had no real interest in it. The courses felt foreign and I often found myself lost, unsure where I belonged. 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。 Then I remembered Virginia DeView and the seed she had planted in my mind. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having graduated with honors in journalism, I went to thank her in person. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Then I remembered Virginia DeView and the seed she had planted in my mind. Her belief in my potential echoed loudly, silencing my doubts. Realizing that ignoring my passion was like betraying myself, I bravely switched my major to journalism, despite my family’s concerns. The transition was tough, yet every article felt like coming home. I poured my heart into uncovering truths, just as that reporter had inspired me. My grades soared, not from force, but because I finally loved what I was learning. The confusion vanished, replaced by a clear sense of purpose. Having graduated with honors in journalism, I went to thank her in person. Walking into her classroom, I found her still teaching with that same demanding brilliance. When I shared my journey, her eyes lit up with pride. “I knew you had it in you,” she said softly. She explained her tough exterior was just a tool to unlock hidden potential. Holding her hand, I thanked her for seeing the writer in a confused teenager. That day, the circle was complete; the teacher who ignited my dream now witnessed its fulfillment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的成长经历为线索，讲述了十三四岁时，Virginia DeView老师让同学们探索未来职业，作者选择新闻专业并采访记者，深受启发且项目获得A，意识到自己热爱写作。但上大学后作者听从家人建议主修商科，却毫无兴趣、十分迷茫。后来想起老师当年的引导，转而主修新闻并以优异成绩毕业，最终亲自向老师表达感谢的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后我想起了Virginia DeView和她在我心中种下的种子。”可知，第一段可描写作者回忆起老师的鼓励，放弃商科转而主修新闻专业，努力学习并找到人生方向的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“以新闻专业优异成绩毕业后，我亲自去感谢她。”可知，第二段可描写作者回到教室见到老师，分享自己的经历，向老师表达感激之情的场景。 2.续写线索：回忆老师——坚定热爱——转修新闻——努力学习——毕业致谢——分享经历——表达感恩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①忽视：ignore/neglect ②揭露：uncover/reveal/disclose ③走进：walk into/step into 情绪类 ①困惑：confused/puzzled ②自豪：pride/proud 【点睛】[高分句型1] Realizing that ignoring my passion was like betraying myself, I bravely switched my major to journalism, despite my family’s concerns.（运用了现在分词短语作原因状语） [高分句型2] My grades soared, not from force, but because I finally loved what I was learning. （运用了because引导的状语从句和what引导的宾语从句）because（运用了状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级三月阶段性检测 英语试卷 考试时间：2026年3月27日下午14:00—16:00 试卷满分：150分 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

B Mark Twain’s words strike a deep chord (心弦) with writers, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” This quote shows the tiring process of rewriting a novel. The first draft feels like an exciting first date — full of promise and relaxation. You finish with a broad smile, imagining readers applauding your brilliance. But that honeymoon period lasts only about 48 hours. Soon, the sinking feeling sets in as you revisit your draft, realizing the hard part has just begun. Rewriting is where real writers emerge. It’s time to dig deep, pulling out the tools and techniques you’ve gathered over the years. You revisit your favorite authors, hoping they’ll offer guidance for navigating the rocky road of revision. Rewriting demands you comb through each sentence, ensuring it contains the exact right word. Every character must earn its place in the story, and each chapter should contribute meaningfully to the narrative. Even your beloved pieces of dialogue may need to be cut. I learned this while working on my novel. The rewriting process haunted (萦绕) me, and I often questioned if the effort was worth it. One night, nearing 2 a.m. after an exhausting session, I thought about abandoning my work. That’s when I came across the film In Time, which highlighted my deepest fear: the time invested in my novel. At that moment, I struck a deal with myself. I decided to cease the self-criticism and recapture the joy that fueled my writing. I committed to evaluating my work page by page, asking, “Do I love it?” If not, I replaced it. Here’s my advice: reawaken your passion and examine your work one page at a time. Writing is a journey, and the rewriting period bridges inspiration and a satisfying finished product. Remember, the “right word” is the key to excellence. 4. What do Mark Twain’s words imply? A. Revising is a rocky road. B. Readers’ feeling matters. C. Quoting precisely is a must. D. The first draft rarely falls short. 5. What does the author think of rewriting? A. Time-wasting. B. Labor-saving. C. Heartbreaking. D. Painstaking. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Which word should be highlighted. B. Why the writing process is questioned. C. What the film In Time talks about. D. How the passion for rewriting is fueled. 7. What does the author’s advice show? A. The role of inspiration in writing. B. The importance of proper wording. C. The reason for making rewriting unique. D. The journey to creating an excellent product. C Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 8. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song? A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure. C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage. 9. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 10. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 11. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results? A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features. C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population. D When you rub (摩擦) a balloon on your skin, it produces electricity — a familiar example of charge separation (电荷分离), a process in which opposite charges are separated, creating electric potential. Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets. Conventional hydropower (水力发电) relies on large water flows, which only work in places like rivers. For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective. To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device. At both ends of the device — the top of the newly-designed tube (about 2 millimeters in width), and the water-collecting cup at the bottom — electrical wires were placed to harvest charges. First, water is released from a metal needle, forming rain-like droplets. When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow,” in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. This flow is crucial because it allows more surface contact and more time for charges to build up, generating up to 100, 000 times more charge separation than continuous flow. As charged droplets exit the tube and fall into the cup, charges build up in the water, creating an electric current. In tests, four tubes produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds. According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably, especially in rainy places such as Singapore.

We stared at each other. We were only 13 and 14 years old. This teacher was crazy. That. was pretty much how the kids looked at Virginia DeView. Because of her physical appearance and demanding teaching, most of us just ignored her brilliance. “Yes, you will all be searching for your future professions,” she continued with a light on her face. “You will each write a research paper on a career you might pursue. Each of you will have to interview someone in your field and give an oral report.” All of us were confused. Who knows what they want to do at 13? I liked art, singing and writing. But I was terrible at art, and when I sang, my sisters screamed, “Oh, please shut up.” The only thing left was writing. Finally, most of us students had selected something; I picked journalism. This meant I had to interview a newspaper reporter in person, and I was terrified. Finally, I sat down in front of a reporter, barely able to speak. Realizing I was terrified, he shared stories that had stayed with him long after they were printed. He talked about moments when a few lines in a newspaper helped someone be seen, or when telling the truth made a real difference in a stranger’s life. He understood the power of words - and why he could never walk away from this job. A few days later, I gave my oral report totally from memory. I had been so engaged and I got an A for the project. I felt a great pride. For the first time, I realized that writing quietly stayed with me, becoming a real part of my life. However, as I approached university, my family urged me to consider a more practical path and I ended up majoring in business. But I had no real interest in it. The courses felt foreign and I often found myself lost, unsure where I belonged. 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。 Then I remembered Virginia DeView and the seed she had planted in my mind. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having graduated with honors in journalism, I went to thank her in person. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
