Eyes caught by the wad of dollar bills at once, they stood there, frozen with shock and open-mouthed. I told them of my intention to return the entire sum, and without hesitation, they all supported me. We then sought help from the owner of the second-hand furniture store. By looking through the donation records, we spotted the son’s telephone number. We immediately reached out to him, informed him of the will and the money, and made an appointment with him. A few days later, the old lady’s son came to my house with his wife. Tears welled up in the man’s eyes when he saw the money and the papers, which brought back his memories about his mother. The couple expressed their gratitude to us, saying that they were in trouble and that my act of honesty came as a timely help, not only offering them a ray of hope but also strengthening their faith. No new bicycle could ever compare to the excitement I experienced on that day, as I had finally passed a significant test of virtue. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在12岁生日时在自行车与床头柜之间选择了床头柜作为生日礼物，在二手市场作者看中了一个深棕色的旧床头柜，回到家后发现抽屉里面有个包，包里面几张公文样的文件，下面是一叠美钞，作者在了解了这些物品的情况后，决定把这些物品物归原主的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我让我的家人来到我的卧室，给他们看我的发现。”可知，第一段可描写作者得到家人的支持和帮助，联系到老太太的儿子。 ②由第二段首句内容“几天后，老太太的儿子和他的妻子来到我家。”可知，第二段可描写老太太的儿子看到这些物品后的反应以及作者自己对这件事的感受。 2.续写线索：告诉家人——决定物归原主——联系物主——物归原主——物主表达感激——作者感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：spotted/find ②表达：expressed/convey ③提供：offer/provide 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/surprise/amazement ②感激：expressed his gratitude/show one’s appreciation/ be grateful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了瑞士极具特色的三个节日及其庆祝习俗和文化特色。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Fête des Vignerons, Vevey部分“The Fête des Vignerons takes place every 20 years in Vevey, which is full of activities, history and centuries- old traditions and was the first Swiss intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) included into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016.(Fête de Vignerons每20年在韦威举行一次，这里充满了各种活动、历史和数百年传统，是2016年被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录的第一个瑞士非物质文化遗产。)”可知，我们对Fête des Vignerons可以了解到的是它得到了联合国教科文组织的认可。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Fête de la Musique, Geneva部分中“The Geneva Fête de la Musique this year was held from 22-27 June.(今年的日内瓦Fête音乐节于6月22日至27日举行。)”和文章Grindelwald World Snow Festival部分中“During this six-day festival, the streets of the snowy town become an awesome museum with temporary creations decorating every corner.(在这个为期六天的节日里，雪城的街道变成了一个令人敬畏的博物馆，每个角落都装饰着临时创作的作品。)”可知，这两个节日都是持续六天，所以两个节日的共同之处是：它们持续时间一样长。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In Switzerland, a variety of unique festivals take place throughout the year, each offering a distinct cultural experience and unforgettable moments for locals and visitors alike. The following are three typical festivals.(在瑞士，全年都会举办各种独特的节日，每个节日都为当地人和游客提供独特的文化体验和难忘的时刻。以下是三个典型的节日。)”可知，文章主要介绍了瑞士极具特色的三个节日及其庆祝习俗和文化特色，所以可推测文章最有可能出自杂志的文化专栏。故选A项。 B： 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Brad Ryan带奶奶旅行，丰富人生经历的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 2010, while Brad Ryan described his previous adventures hiking and climbing a famous mountain, Ryan learned that his grandmother Joy Ryan had never set eyes on a mountain, which was one of her lifelong regrets. That conversation stayed with him. (2010年，当布拉德・瑞安讲述他之前徒步旅行和攀登一座名山的冒险经历时，瑞安得知他的祖母乔伊・瑞安从未见过一座山，这是她一生的遗憾之一。那次谈话一直萦绕在他心头)” 可知，是奶奶从未见过山的遗憾激发了布拉德・瑞安带奶奶去旅行。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“While he knew that the fun might be ravaged when he travelled with an elderly person, Ryan quickly found that this wasn't the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer because having to move more slowly meant he was able to take everything in in a more meaningful way. (虽然他知道，当他和一位老人一起旅行时，乐趣可能会被ravaged，但瑞安很快发现事实并非如此。事实上，恰恰相反。这让他在户外的体验更加丰富，因为走得更慢意味着他能够以一种更有意义的方式去欣赏周围的一切)”可知，瑞安原以为和老人旅行会破坏乐趣，但事实并非如此，所以ravaged意思是“破坏”，与Damaged意思相近。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer because having to move more slowly meant he was able to take everything in in a more meaningful way. (这让他在户外的体验更加丰富，因为走得更慢意味着他能够以一种更有意义的方式去欣赏周围的一切)”可知，布拉德・瑞安通过走得更慢来应对和奶奶一起徒步旅行的困难。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段中“It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer because having to move more slowly meant he was able to take everything in in a more meaningful way. (这让他在户外的体验更加丰富，因为走得更慢意味着他能够以一种更有意义的方式去欣赏周围的一切)”以及第四段中“The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Ryan that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience. (第一次旅行在瑞安心中种下了一颗久违的快乐种子，他很高兴看到奶奶是多么享受这次经历)”可知，文章主要讲述了布拉德・瑞安带奶奶旅行，在这个过程中充满了爱并且有了更深刻的体验，所以“A Journey Filled with Love and Deeper Experiences (一段充满爱和更深刻体验的旅程)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 C： 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了BC沿海地区天气预报的困难及AI技术的应用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“High mountains and narrow channels form wind, trap fog, and cause wet air to bring heavy rain, while extreme tides and fast currents build huge waves. The result is a mixture of dangerous meteorological（气象的）microclimates. where conditions can differ wildly between neighboring channels and across small islands. (高山和狭窄的海峡形成风，困住雾，使潮湿的空气带来大雨，而极端的潮汐和快速的水流形成巨大的波浪。其结果是形成了危险的气象微气候的混合体。在相邻的海峡之间和小岛之间，天气状况可能会有很大的差异。)”以及第二段中“The problem is that weather models are based on regional weather patterns and don't account for the large effect of such different landforms. (问题是，天气模型是基于区域天气模式的，没有考虑到这些不同地形的巨大影响。)”可知，是各种各样的地形使得沿海地区的天气预报变得困难。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Most users don’t realize that existing weather apps almost all copy the same government forecasts. (大多数用户没有意识到，现有的天气应用程序几乎都抄袭了相同的政府预报。)”可知，BC的天气信息通常来自政府的预报。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more mainstream, a local company is building a new machine learning-based weather forecasting system to make shipping safer. Since 2017,company has put up more than 60 new weather buoys and sensors to collect additional data about the conditions along main shipping routes. Then it uses the system to process the data. (随着人工智能（AI）变得越来越主流，一家当地公司正在建立一个新的基于机器学习的天气预报系统，以确保航运安全。自2017年以来，该公司已经安装了60多个新的气象浮标和传感器，以收集主要航线上的额外天气状况数据。然后它使用该系统来处理这些数据。)”可知，当地公司正在使用先进技术（人工智能和机器学习）来处理数据，以使航运更安全。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And on a larger scale, technology giants Google, Microsoft, Huawei, and others are developing AI algorithms (算法) that model and forecast global weather, in some cases more exactly than standard government forecasts. (在更大的范围内，科技巨头谷歌、微软、华为等公司正在开发人工智能算法，以模拟和预测全球天气，在某些情况下比标准的政府预报更准确。)”可知，人工智能的使用将使天气预报更加准确。故选D。 D: 【答案】32B 33. A 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是缩短在校时间对提高学生身心健康和学业表现的积极作用及各国实践案例。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“His research, involving 18 countries and over a million students, suggested that increased studying hours resulted in only slightly improved academic results.(他的研究涉及18个国家和100多万名学生，结果表明，增加学习时间只会使学业成绩略有提高。)”可知，Michael Baker的研究发现，增加学习时间对学业成绩的提升作用很小。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Japan is another country on the high performing list, with its students regularly topping international academic levels. They too operate with fewer school hours, choosing a more content-rich, concentrated curriculum (课程).(日本是另一个表现优异的国家，其学生经常在国际学术水平上名列前茅。他们也采用较少的上课时间，选择内容更丰富、更集中的课程。)”可知，日本学生表现出色的关键在于他们所学的课程，即内容更丰富、更集中的课程。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“Still, many educators disagree, stating concerns about working parents, child management, and access to meals for lower-income(低收入) families.(然而，许多教育工作者表示反对，他们担心在职父母、儿童管理以及低收入家庭获得膳食的问题。)”可知，一些教育工作者反对缩短学校日，主要是因为他们担心这会给在职父母带来更大的挑战，如儿童管理和低收入家庭孩子的饮食问题。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“While you might find it hard to believe, many experienced educators are voicing support for shorter school days.(虽然你可能觉得难以置信，但许多经验丰富的教育工作者都表示支持缩短学校日。)”以及后文引用多国教育专家的研究和观点来支持这一观点，可知文章主要讨论了专家们对缩短学校日的积极态度。故选C项。 七选五 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. E 39. A 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕如何培养艺术品味展开，介绍了多观看艺术作品、关注艺术带来的身体感受、与艺术家建立联系、理性看待艺术市场等方法，强调培养艺术品味是个人旅程，核心在于与艺术作品建立真诚的个人联结。 【36题详解】 根据空前的“Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey. There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media. (无论你是为家里购买艺术品，还是在画廊和博物馆欣赏艺术品，培养自己的品味都是一段个人旅程。世界上有无数的商业画廊、博物馆，以及像社交媒体这样越来越容易接触到的平台。)”可知，此处应说明这些场所和平台的作用，即提供接触艺术的渠道，C选项“These provide a wealth of places to engage with art. (这些为人们提供了大量接触艺术的场所。)”中的“These”指代前文提到的“commercial galleries, museums, social media”，符合语境。故选C项。 【37题详解】 根据空前的“One of the surest ways to establish your artistic interests is to look at as much art as you can. Go to museum exhibitions and to galleries. Read art magazines. See an exhibition even if it is not a period you would ever take an interest in. You will learn to appreciate quality, and your eye will see what great art is. (培养艺术兴趣最可靠的方法之一就是尽可能多地欣赏艺术作品。去看博物馆展览和画廊展览，阅读艺术杂志。即使是你从未感兴趣的艺术时期的展览，也要去看看。你会学会欣赏艺术品的品质，也会逐渐看出优秀的艺术作品是什么样的。)”可知，此处应说明多接触艺术后最终的结果，即找到自己喜欢的艺术，B选项“Then in time, you will find something that you love. (然后久而久之，你会找到自己喜欢的东西。)”符合语境，承接前文多接触艺术的建议，指出最终会有收获。故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据空前的“The process of developing artistic taste involves multiple dimensions that go beyond simple visual appreciation. “I sit with the piece and pay attention to how it settles in me — my throat, my stomach. (培养艺术品味的过程涉及多个层面，远不止简单的视觉欣赏。“我会静下心来感受这件艺术品，关注它在我身体里引起的反应——比如喉咙的感觉、胃部的感觉。)”可知，此处应进一步说明这种身体反应的意义，E选项“That physical response shows more than any trend ever could. (这种身体反应比任何潮流都更能说明问题。)”中的“That physical response”指代前文“how it settles in me — my throat, my stomach”，符合语境，解释了关注身体感受在培养艺术品味中的重要性。故选E项。 【39题详解】 根据空后的“Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood. (了解他们和他们的故事，可以丰富你作为收藏者和艺术爱好者的体验。直接与艺术家接触，能与艺术品建立起个人联结，让这件作品不仅被看到，更被理解。)”可知，此处应强调艺术家的重要性，A选项“Artists are the lifeblood of the art world. (艺术家是艺术界的命脉。)”中的“Artists”对应空后“them”以及“the artists”符合语境，引出下文关于与艺术家建立联系的内容。故选A项。 【40题详解】 根据空前的“Study the art market, but not too closely. (研究艺术市场，但不要过于深入。)”以及空后的“While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators. (虽然了解市场动态可能有帮助，但艺术欣赏中最有价值的部分，来自于与艺术品及其创作者建立真诚的个人联结。)”可知，此处应说明艺术市场研究与个人联结的关系，即市场研究处于次要地位，F选项“Market research is secondary to personal connection with artworks. (与艺术品建立个人联结比市场研究更重要。)”符合语境，承接前文“不要过于深入研究市场”的建议，与后文强调个人联结的重要性相呼应。故选F项。 完形填空 本文讲述了也门8岁的卖水男孩Amr Muqbel现在成为了当地的小歌手并受到了很大的关注。 41-45BDBAB 46-50ACDAC 51-55BCDAC 41.

The following are three typical festivals. Fête des Vignerons, Vevey The Fête des Vignerons takes place every 20 years in Vevey, which is full of activities, history and centuries-old traditions and was the first Swiss intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) included into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016. The latest festival was held from 18 July to 11 August 2019. Fête de la Musique, Geneva Fête de la Musique runs annually, taking over the streets of Lausanne every summer. Over 50 places show off musicians from across the globe, celebrating a range of music. It is worth noting that most roads are blocked during the festival, and it is best to travel by public transport. The Geneva Fête de la Musique this year was held from 22-27 June. Grindelwald World Snow Festival Every year sculptors from all over the world gather in Grindelwald. During this six-day festival, the streets of the snowy town become an awesome museum with temporary creations decorating every corner. The white statues are greatly attractive to both locals and tourists. 21. What do we know about Fête des Vignerons? A. It lasts more than a month. B. It is held on a yearly basis. C. It got UNESCO recognition. D. It is a tangible cultural heritage. 22. What do Fête de la Musique and Grindelwald World Snow Festival have in common? A. They cause heavy traffic. B. They attract global sculptors. C. They last the same length of time. D. They are held in small towns. 23. Which column of a magazine is the passage most probably from? A. Culture. B. Art. C. Geography. D. Business. B In 2010, while Brad Ryan described his previous adventures hiking and climbing a famous mountain, Ryan learned that his grandmother Joy Ryan had never set eyes on a mountain, which was one of her lifelong regrets. That conversation stayed with him. A few years later, Ryan decided to take a weekend road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and asked Grandma if she’d like to join him. Thankfully, his grandmother jumped at the chance. At 85, she saw her first mountain, climbed her first mountain and went camping for the first time. While he knew that the fun might be ravaged when he travelled with an elderly person, Ryan quickly found that this wasn’t the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer because having to move more slowly meant he was able to take everything in in a more meaningful way. The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Ryan that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience. Keen to keep their adventure going, the pair made a plan to travel to the other 62 US National Parks together. Such a challenge would be a huge feat for most hikers, let alone an elderly woman with limited hiking experience, so they decided to take their time with it. It took them nearly eight years to do it. Ryan said that the lens through which Grandma was seeing the world was very different to most people of his age because she didn’t visit a place thinking, “Well, I’ll be back again,” so there was more presence. After reaching their final stop, the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific, in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually decided on attempting to travel to every continent in the world. 24. What inspired Brad Ryan to take his grandma on a trip? A. His love for travelling. B. His hope of strengthening their relationship. C. His grandma’s dream of climbing mountains. D. His grandma’s regret of never seeing a mountain. 25. What does the underlined word “ravaged” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Damaged. B. Valued. C. Questioned. D. Forgotten. 26. How did Brad Ryan deal with the difficulty in hiking with his grandma? A. By going to fewer destinations. B. By travelling much more slowly. C. By planning more short-distance trips. D. By visiting a place more than once. 27. What may be the best title for the text? A. A Hike to 63 US National Parks B. An Elderly Woman’s Lifelong Dream C. The Advantage of Travelling with the Elderly D. A Journey Filled with Love and Deeper Experiences C Checking the weather forecast (预报) doesn’t always help. In British Columbia (BC), as in many coastal regions, forecasting the weather is very difficult. High mountains and narrow channels form wind, trap fog, and cause wet air to bring heavy rain, while extreme tides and fast currents build huge waves. The result is a mixture of dangerous meteorological (气象的) microclimates, where conditions can differ wildly between neighboring channels and across small islands. The problem is that weather models are based on regional weather patterns and don’t account for the large effect of such different landforms. Rain and wind are particularly hard to forecast. High winds bring up waves, making boating much more dangerous for recreational and commercial ships. The Canadian government operates roughly 60 land-based weather stations and buoys (浮标) along the BC coast, but they are spread too far apart to catch conditions everywhere. To decide if it’s safe to cast off, then, ship captains are left changing between subscription weather services and free apps. Even ferry captains, responsible for safely carrying hundreds of people between ports have been known to refer to windsurfing message boards to get information. Most users don’t realize that existing weather apps almost all copy the same government forecasts. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more mainstream, a local company is building a new machine learning-based weather forecasting system to make shipping safer. Since 2017, company has put up more than 60 new weather buoys and sensors to collect additional data about the conditions along main shipping routes. Then it uses the system to process the data. Every 15 minutes, the devices upload real-time wind and wave data to a digital dashboard, some also take 360-degree photos. With as little as nine months of sensor data, the company can use machine learning to pick out patterns in how the weather around the sensor differs from the wider regional forecast. For example, a shallow reef might be extra windy or have larger waves than expected. And on a larger scale, technology giants Google, Microsoft, Huawei, and others are developing AI algorithms (算法) that model and forecast global weather, in some cases more exactly than standard government forecasts. 28. What makes the weather forecast in coastal regions hard? A. The strong wind. B. The various landforms. C. The warm sea water. D. The small number of weather stations. 29. Where does the weather information of BC usually come from? A. Paid weather service. B. Free weather apps. C. The government forecasts. D. The ship captains’ experience. 30 What is the local company doing to make shipping safer? A. It is collecting information from other AI companies. B. It is using advanced technology to deal with data. C. It is working with the government to improve weather models. D. It is developing some new apps for ship captains. 31. What can we know about the use of AI in the worldwide weather forecast? A. It is impractical in some regions. B. It is still at the experimental stage. C. It will replace the government forecasts soon. D. It will make the weather forecast more correct. D While you might find it hard to believe, many experienced educators are voicing support for shorter school days. Looking around the globe, you’ll quickly see nations with leading academic results practicing it. Professor Michael Baker of the University of Toronto conducted a study on school hours. His research, involving 18 countries and over a million students, suggested that increased studying hours resulted in only slightly improved academic results. He argues for fewer school hours, believing that a reduction could lead to less burnout in students. The Finnish approach is often considered groundbreaking, with their students normally outperforming those of the same age worldwide. The country s secret trick includes shorter school days coupled with more creative learning ways. Dr. Pasi Sahlberg, a Finnish educator and author, connects Finland’s academic success to these practices. He states that children should have sufficient time for play, rest, and family, contributing to a balanced life. Japan is another country on the high performing list, with its students regularly topping international academic levels. They too operate with fewer school hours, choosing a more content-rich, concentrated curriculum (课程). Dr. Yoshihiko Baba, an education policy adviser for the Japanese government, argues that this concentration of rich content over longer hours is a valuable contributor to their success. Still, many educators disagree, stating concerns about working parents, child management, and access to meals for lower-income (低收入) families. Yet, in a period when flexibility is key, these problems could be addressed by creative community solutions. As information continues to pour in, schools should remain open to changing their schedules for the improvement of student well-being and academic performance. You’ve seen how shorter school days could be the key to improving student well-being and academic performance. It’s about making the hours count rather than counting the hours. So, it’s time to reflect: Shouldn’t we be rethinking the school day length? After all, if the goal is to educate well-rounded, happy students who stand out academically, a shorter school day might just be the solution we’ve been searching for. 32. What did Michael Baker find in his research? A. Students concentrate more on philosophy. B. Studying longer makes little difference. C. 18 countries support longer school hours. D. Many students are suffering from burnout. 33. Which is the key to the great performance of Japanese students? A. The subjects they are taught. B. The longer time they spend. C. The balanced life they have. D. The money their families make. 34. Why are some educators against shorter school days? A. It may be more challenging to parent. B. Communities may not offer the support. C. Schools can’t change their schedules. D. Parents can’t afford the education fee. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. Some reasons for shortening school days. B. Different countries have varied school days. C. Experts’ positive attitude to shorter school days. D. The necessity of increasing the school day length. 第二节 (共5个小题，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。 Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey.

However, considering our family’s financial struggle, I realized that such a bike was merely an impossible dream. Then, I decided to choose a nightstand (床头柜). It seemed like a sensible choice, as it would provide me with a safe space to store my personal things. Therefore, I requested my parents for a nightstand equipped with lockable drawers. We visited the second-hand furniture store and chanced upon an old nightstand in a dark brown color. Although its appearance wasn’t attractive, it had drawers that could be locked. I decided to repaint it in order to make it look better. After bringing it home, I prepared to paint the nightstand. However, as I pulled out the drawers, I found something stuck to the back of the bottom drawer. Curious and eager, I reached deep into the back and was surprised to discover a bag. Upon opening the bag, I discovered several official-looking papers within, under which there was a wad (沓) of dollar bills! Imagine my surprise when I found such a treasure, especially on my birthday! Eagerly, I read the papers, which turned out a will. A certain elderly woman was leaving her savings to her son and grandchildren. It must have been that after her passing no one knew of the money. Her family donated the nightstand to a second-hand furniture store, and now it has found its way into my hand. I counted the money and found it totaled over 1,000 dollars. My heart was racing with excitement. With such a large amount, I could buy the coolest bicycle. I even had enough to buy bicycles for my younger brothers. Perhaps I could even surprise my parents with a car. What a dilemma! Should I keep the money and use it to buy all kinds of things for myself and my family? Or should I return it all? “Somebody helps me with this!” I begged. But I knew I didn’t truly need anyone to give me the answer. I had a clear sense of right and wrong. I decided not to fail this test. It was a test of my virtue. 注意： 1．续写词数应为50左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I asked my family to come to my bedroom and showed them what I’d found. _________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, the old lady’s son came to my house with his wife. ________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
