This violin could not be kept apart from my life. When I was six years old, I was one of the typical kids who started to learn musical instruments. Parents would hear their young kids shouting, “Mom! I want to learn the piano! Dad! I want to learn the violin!” Well, the difference is, for me, that it was not my free will. Yes, my mom just forced me to play the violin. In the violin school, you could hear the kids crying in the practice room after being scolded (责骂) by their moms. I was one of them. At the time, I hated the violin. However, I started to love the violin when my mom stopped focusing on my relationship with the violin in high school, because her attention naturally changed to my school performance. Maybe she didn’t have enough energy to force me to practice anymore. When I finally got into college, the first thing I did was to register for the campus orchestra. I didn’t want to stop playing the violin. The orchestra helped me get involved in such a harmonious, friendly group for the first time while I was playing an instrument. It was my first time meeting friends who have similar hobbies, passion and dreams. I can’t forget my first classical concert. I was feeling true love toward the orchestra and the violin. I was extremely excited and I couldn’t wait for the next concert. The time just passed as a blink. Two hours felt like 10 minutes. For everyone, it’s never too late to learn to play an instrument. It is really one of the best ways to express one’s emotions and communicate it to other people, and I have grown my emotions while being a part of an orchestra. 4.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者幼时被母亲强迫学小提琴并心生厌恶，高中时开始爱上它。大学后他加入管弦乐团，难忘首场古典音乐会。他认为学乐器是抒发情感的绝佳方式。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When I was six years old, I was one of the typical kids who started to learn musical instruments. Parents would hear their young kids shouting, “Mom! I want to learn the piano! Dad! I want to learn the violin!” Well, the difference is, for me, that it was not my free will. Yes, my mom just forced me to play the violin. (在我六岁那年，我是那种典型的开始学习乐器的孩子。父母会听到他们的孩子喊道：“妈妈！我想学钢琴！爸爸！我想学小提琴！”不过，与他们不同的是，对我来说，这并非出于我的自愿选择。没错，我的妈妈只是强迫我学习小提琴。)”可知，作者六岁时母亲强迫他学小提琴。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, I started to love the violin when my mom stopped focusing on my relationship with the violin in high school, because her attention naturally changed to my school performance. ( 然而，当我在高中时期妈妈不再过分关注我与小提琴的关系时，我开始喜欢上了小提琴，因为她的注意力自然而然地转移到了我的学业表现上。)”可知，作者在高中时开始爱上小提琴。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When I finally got into college, the first thing I did was to register for the campus orchestra.

I was extremely excited and I couldn’t wait for the next concert. The time just passed as a blink. Two hours felt like 10 minutes. ( 我永远忘不了第一次参加的古典音乐会。我深深地爱上了管弦乐队和小提琴。我异常兴奋，迫不及待地期待着下一场音乐会。时间仿佛在一瞬间就过去了。两个小时的感觉却只像是十分钟。)”可推知，作者认为他的第一次古典音乐会令他印象深刻。故选A项。 C Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that the sport of your choice might have a great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungry (资源消耗大的). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (高尔夫球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of some countries, golf is often held responsible for a serious water shortage. There are many environmentally friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your wallet. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environmentally friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled (回收的) materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. 8. Which of the following is the author most probably in favour of? A. Cycling around a lake. B. Motor racing in the desert. C. Playing basketball in a gym. D. Swimming in a sports centre. 9. What can we learn about golf? A. It is popular in the dry regions. B. It causes a water shortage around the world. C. It pollutes the Earth with chemicals and wastes. D. It needs water and power to keep its courses green. 10. Why does the author use power walking as an example? A. Because it is an outdoor sport. B. Because it improves our health. C. Because it uses fewer resources. D. Because it is recommended by experts. 11. In which part of the magazine can this passage be found? A. Education. B. Environment. C. Art. D. History. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了不同运动对环境的影响，对比了资源消耗型运动（如高尔夫）和环保型运动（如快走），并倡导人们选择绿色环保的运动方式。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“There are many environmentally friendly sports.(有许多环保的运动)”以及第四段“Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.(绿色健身房的会员在户外、乡村或其他开放空间进行运动)”可推知，作者支持在户外自然环境中进行的、对环境友好的运动。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (尔夫球场) in good condition.(众所周知，高尔夫不仅占用大片乡村土地，还消耗大量水资源。此外，为了保持球场状况良好，需要使用各种化学品和大量能源)”可知，高尔夫球场需要水和能源（电力）来维护草坪。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“There are many environmentally friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your wallet.(有许多环保型的运动方式。快走就是其中一种，你今天就可以开始尝试。除了一双好鞋之外，你不需要任何特殊的装备；而且你也不必担心资源问题和钱包状况)”可推知，作者以快走为例是为了说明它是一种资源消耗少的环保运动。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论运动与环境的关系，倡导环保运动方式。根据第一段“Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that the sport of your choice might have a great influence on the environment.(体育运动能帮助你保持健康并亲近自然。然而，无论你是在山间、海浪中还是在草原上，你都应当意识到你所选择的运动项目可能会对环境产生重大影响)”以及后文对高尔夫资源消耗和绿色运动方式的对比，可推知本文主题围绕“环境”展开，应出自杂志的“环境”版块。故选B。 D The ocean is the largest natural sink of carbon dioxide (CO2), taking in about a quarter of our annual emissions (排放). That uptake of CO2 makes the ocean’s surface more acidic (酸的), which harms ecosystems like coral reefs But until now, researchers did not know the extent to which acidification was reaching deeper waters. Jens Daniel Müller at the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich in Switzerland and his coworkers developed a 3D model to study how CO2 moves through the ocean. They used this model to show how CO2 the oceans have taken in since 1800, around the start of the industrial revolution, has affected deep-water acidity. They found a clear acidification signal down to 1,000 metres in most of the ocean. Some areas, such as the North Atlantic — where the powerful ocean carries carbon from the surface to deeper waters — saw acidification down to 1,500 metres. Some pockets of deeper water that are naturally more acidic saw even more acidification than the surface, which limits their ability to take in more CO2. “This is more or less what researchers expected would happen as the ocean takes up more CO2,” says Müller. “But it’s a different thing to really see the data coming in to confirm this.” Notably, about half of all the acidification since 1800 occurred after 1994, as our emissions of CO2 have risen sharply. “We see this rather rapid progression,” says Müller. The level of acidification is so high that it threatens sea life in many parts of the ocean, For example, sea butterflies are at particular risk because their shells dissolve (溶解) in acidic water. The rise in acidification has also doubled the areas where cold-water corals will have trouble surviving. “And ocean acidification is set to continue as the water takes in more CO2. Even if we were able to stop CO2 emissions immediately, we would still see a process of ocean acidification for a couple of centuries or so.” says Müller. 12. Why did Müller’s team design the 3D model? A. To protect ecosystems in Switzerland. B. To research CO2 movement in the ocean. C. To measure the health of ocean life. D. To track movements in ocean currents. 13. What have rising CO2 emissions brought about since 1994 according to the text? A. A sharp increase in ocean acidification. B. A significant rise in the level of the ocean. C. A rapid progress in sea life preservation. D. A stronger ability of oceans to take in CO2. 14. What is Müller’s attitude to the future of ocean acidification? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The history of ocean acidification since 1800. B. Advances in deep sea exploration technology. C. CO2 emissions are speeding up climate change. D. Ocean acidification is reaching deeper waters. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述海洋酸化向深层水域扩展，威胁海洋生物，且将持续数百年。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Jens Daniel Müller at the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich in Switzerland and his coworkers developed a 3D model to study how CO2 moves through the ocean.(瑞士苏黎世联邦理工学院的延斯丹尼尔穆勒和他的同事们开发了一个3D模型来研究二氧化碳是如何在海洋中移动的)”可知，Müller团队开发3D模型来研究二氧化碳是如何在海洋中移动的。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Notably, about half of all the acidification since 1800 occurred after 1994, as our emissions of CO2 have risen sharply.(值得注意的是，自1800年以来，大约一半的酸化发生在1994年之后，因为我们的二氧化碳排放量急剧上升)”可知，CO₂排放激增导致酸化加速。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even if we were able to stop CO2 emissions immediately, we would still see a process of ocean acidification for a couple of centuries or so.(即便我们能够立即停止二氧化碳排放，我们仍会在接下来的数百年里看到海洋酸化的现象)”可知，Müller强调酸化将持续数百年，体现对未来趋势的担忧。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But until now, researchers did not know the extent to which acidification was reaching deeper waters (但是直到现在，研究人员还不知道酸化到达更深水域的程度)”及第三段“They found a clear acidification signal down to 1,000 metres in most of the ocean. Some areas, such as the North Atlantic — where the powerful ocean carries carbon from the surface to deeper waters — saw acidification down to 1,500 metres.(他们发现，在海洋的大部分区域，酸化现象一直持续到1000米深处。而在一些地区，比如北大西洋（那里强大的洋流将表层的碳物质带入更深的水域），酸化现象甚至延伸到了1500米深处)”可知，全文在讲述研究人员研究酸化深入海洋深层的事情，即海洋酸化正向更深水域蔓延。故选D。 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。选项中有两项有多余选项。 Be a Green Child What does it mean to be green? “Green” is more than just a color.

Sharing the same passion for music, Eddie formed a band, The Stars, with his childhood friends Luis and Ruben. One day, they received a letter inviting them to a local music festival a month away. Excited, they decided to practise separately every day and then together once a week. But deep down, Eddie worried about their show because of Ruben, the guitarist. Although Ruben was a quick learner, he didn’t like to practise on his own at home. As a result, he often made a lot of mistakes due to lack of practice. This was a big problem for the band. One week later, as scheduled, they gathered at the drummer Luis’s house for group practice. But they had only played a few lines when Ruben started making mistakes. “Sorry. I ... I just ...” Ruben tried to make an excuse. “You just haven’t been practising again. You are always like this! We need to practise more; we are running out of time.” Luis’s face turned red with anger. Ruben also shouted back. Both boys stood locking eyes, full of tension. Eddie broke up the argument and calmed them down. He turned to Ruben, asking why he didn’t play at home. “I don’t like to play music on my own,” Ruben confessed (坦白). “My guitar sounds lonely by itself. You know I have trouble focusing on things.” That night, Eddie’s father asked how band practice was going. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Eddie told him what had happened, saying they were considering replacing Ruben. His dad listened quietly, and then offered a simple suggestion, “Instead of practising the same song alone, why not figure out what helps Ruben focus?” Not wanting to lose Ruben as a band member or as a friend, Eddie began to think about it. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Suddenly an idea struck Eddie. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the music festival finally arrived. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Suddenly an idea struck Eddie.

The day of the music festival finally arrived. The Stars took the stage. Ruben played flawlessly, and the audience was enthralled. Their performance was a huge success. Afterward, Ruben thanked Eddie and Luis for their support. The band realized that understanding and helping each other was the key to their success, and they continued to create beautiful music together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了埃迪和他的童年朋友路易斯、鲁本组成乐队 “星星”，他们收到当地音乐节邀请。然而鲁本虽学得快但不爱独自练习，导致小组练习时出错，引发路易斯不满，两人争吵。埃迪向父亲倾诉，父亲建议他想办法帮助鲁本集中注意力。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，埃迪想到了一个主意。”可知，第一段可描写埃迪想到的帮助鲁本的办法。他创建 “音乐伙伴” 播放列表，还和路易斯通过视频通话与鲁本一起练习，鲁本变得更专注，技能提升很快，突出埃迪采取的有效措施及对鲁本的积极影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“音乐节的日子终于到了。”可知，第二段可描写音乐节当天的情况。“星星” 乐队上台表演，鲁本表现完美，演出大获成功，之后鲁本感谢队友，乐队成员意识到相互理解和帮助是成功关键，突出乐队在音乐节的成功及成员间关系的升华。 2.续写线索：埃迪想到办法 —— 创建播放列表并视频练习 —— 鲁本进步 —— 音乐节到来 —— 乐队上台表演成功 —— 鲁本感谢队友 —— 乐队领悟成功关键 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提高：improve /promote ②创建：create /establish ③感谢：thank /appreciate 情绪类： ①专注的：focused /concentrated /attentive ②毫无瑕疵地：flawlessly/faultlessly 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Eddie and Luis also started practising with Ruben via video calls, making it feel like a group session.（运用了现在分词作状语 ） 【高分句型 2】The band realized that understanding and helping each other was the key to their success, and they continued to create beautiful music together.（运用了 that 引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 合肥百花中学等四校2025~2026学年第二学期高一年级期中考试 英语 本试卷共8页。全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试题和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

This violin could not be kept apart from my life. When I was six years old, I was one of the typical kids who started to learn musical instruments. Parents would hear their young kids shouting, “Mom! I want to learn the piano! Dad! I want to learn the violin!” Well, the difference is, for me, that it was not my free will. Yes, my mom just forced me to play the violin. In the violin school, you could hear the kids crying in the practice room after being scolded (责骂) by their moms. I was one of them. At the time, I hated the violin. However, I started to love the violin when my mom stopped focusing on my relationship with the violin in high school, because her attention naturally changed to my school performance. Maybe she didn’t have enough energy to force me to practice anymore. When I finally got into college, the first thing I did was to register for the campus orchestra. I didn’t want to stop playing the violin. The orchestra helped me get involved in such a harmonious, friendly group for the first time while I was playing an instrument. It was my first time meeting friends who have similar hobbies, passion and dreams. I can’t forget my first classical concert. I was feeling true love toward the orchestra and the violin. I was extremely excited and I couldn’t wait for the next concert. The time just passed as a blink. Two hours felt like 10 minutes. For everyone, it’s never too late to learn to play an instrument. It is really one of the best ways to express one’s emotions and communicate it to other people, and I have grown my emotions while being a part of an orchestra. 4. What can we know about the author’s mother when he was six? A. She loved playing the violin. B. She suffered from a serious illness. C. She cared about the author’s grades. D. She forced the author to learn the violin. 5. When did the author begin to love the violin? A. In college. B. In high school. C. After graduating from college. D. After going to the United States. 6. What did the author do first when he entered college? A. He changed his major to music. B. He attended a famous violin concert. C. He signed up for the campus orchestra. D. He met friends with similar hobbies. 7. What does the author think of his first classical concert? A. Impressive. B. Beneficial. C. Ordinary. D. Inspiring. C Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that the sport of your choice might have a great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungry (资源消耗大的). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (高尔夫球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of some countries, golf is often held responsible for a serious water shortage. There are many environmentally friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your wallet. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environmentally friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled (回收的) materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. 8. Which of the following is the author most probably in favour of? A. Cycling around a lake. B. Motor racing in the desert. C. Playing basketball in a gym. D. Swimming in a sports centre. 9. What can we learn about golf? A. It is popular in the dry regions. B. It causes a water shortage around the world. C. It pollutes the Earth with chemicals and wastes. D. It needs water and power to keep its courses green. 10. Why does the author use power walking as an example? A. Because it is an outdoor sport. B. Because it improves our health. C. Because it uses fewer resources. D. Because it is recommended by experts. 11. In which part of the magazine can this passage be found? A. Education. B. Environment. C. Art. D. History. D The ocean is the largest natural sink of carbon dioxide (CO2), taking in about a quarter of our annual emissions (排放). That uptake of CO2 makes the ocean’s surface more acidic (酸的), which harms ecosystems like coral reefs But until now, researchers did not know the extent to which acidification was reaching deeper waters. Jens Daniel Müller at the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich in Switzerland and his coworkers developed a 3D model to study how CO2 moves through the ocean. They used this model to show how CO2 the oceans have taken in since 1800, around the start of the industrial revolution, has affected deep-water acidity. They found a clear acidification signal down to 1,000 metres in most of the ocean. Some areas, such as the North Atlantic — where the powerful ocean carries carbon from the surface to deeper waters — saw acidification down to 1,500 metres. Some pockets of deeper water that are naturally more acidic saw even more acidification than the surface, which limits their ability to take in more CO2. “This is more or less what researchers expected would happen as the ocean takes up more CO2,” says Müller. “But it’s a different thing to really see the data coming in to confirm this.” Notably, about half of all the acidification since 1800 occurred after 1994, as our emissions of CO2 have risen sharply. “We see this rather rapid progression,” says Müller. The level of acidification is so high that it threatens sea life in many parts of the ocean, For example, sea butterflies are at particular risk because their shells dissolve (溶解) in acidic water. The rise in acidification has also doubled the areas where cold-water corals will have trouble surviving. “And ocean acidification is set to continue as the water takes in more CO2. Even if we were able to stop CO2 emissions immediately, we would still see a process of ocean acidification for a couple of centuries or so.” says Müller. 12. Why did Müller’s team design the 3D model? A. To protect ecosystems in Switzerland. B. To research CO2 movement in the ocean. C. To measure the health of ocean life. D. To track movements in ocean currents. 13. What have rising CO2 emissions brought about since 1994 according to the text? A. A sharp increase in ocean acidification. B. A significant rise in the level of the ocean. C. A rapid progress in sea life preservation. D. A stronger ability of oceans to take in CO2. 14. What is Müller’s attitude to the future of ocean acidification? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The history of ocean acidification since 1800. B. Advances in deep sea exploration technology. C. CO2 emissions are speeding up climate change. D. Ocean acidification is reaching deeper waters. 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。选项中有两项有多余选项。 Be a Green Child What does it mean to be green? “Green” is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. What can we do? ____16____ Reduce It! ____17____ For instance, a shorter shower means you used less water and less fuel since your house uses to run the heater that warmed up the water. Reuse It! Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. It means that we’re a little too willing to throw away old things and buy new things. ____18____ For instance, if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop (篮圈), why not give it to another family who has a little kid? Recycle It! Recycling has never been easier. Many communities will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it. Recycled goods go to a recycling center, where they can be turned into new cans, bottles, and paper. Enjoy It!

Sharing the same passion for music, Eddie formed a band, The Stars, with his childhood friends Luis and Ruben. One day, they received a letter inviting them to a local music festival a month away. Excited, they decided to practise separately every day and then together once a week. But deep down, Eddie worried about their show because of Ruben, the guitarist. Although Ruben was a quick learner, he didn’t like to practise on his own at home. As a result, he often made a lot of mistakes due to lack of practice. This was a big problem for the band. One week later, as scheduled, they gathered at the drummer Luis’s house for group practice. But they had only played a few lines when Ruben started making mistakes. “Sorry. I ... I just ...” Ruben tried to make an excuse. “You just haven’t been practising again. You are always like this! We need to practise more; we are running out of time.” Luis’s face turned red with anger. Ruben also shouted back. Both boys stood locking eyes, full of tension. Eddie broke up the argument and calmed them down. He turned to Ruben, asking why he didn’t play at home. “I don’t like to play music on my own,” Ruben confessed (坦白). “My guitar sounds lonely by itself. You know I have trouble focusing on things.” That night, Eddie’s father asked how band practice was going. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Eddie told him what had happened, saying they were considering replacing Ruben. His dad listened quietly, and then offered a simple suggestion, “Instead of practising the same song alone, why not figure out what helps Ruben focus?” Not wanting to lose Ruben as a band member or as a friend, Eddie began to think about it. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Suddenly an idea struck Eddie. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the music festival finally arrived. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
