参考答案 1．答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据Millennium City Park (Kaifeng, Henan)部分“Step into the Northern Song Dynasty (960 — 1127) at this park, a 1:1 recreation of Zhang Zeduan’s iconic painting The Qingming Scroll. (走进这个公园，就如同走进了北宋 (960—1127），它是张择端标志性画作《清明上河图》的1:1复刻)”可知，开封的千年古城公园是根据一幅著名的古代画作设计的。故选C项。 2．答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据Yancheng Spring & Autumn Park (Changzhou, Jiangsu)部分“Travel back 2,700 years to the Spring and Autumn Period (770 — 476 BCE) on the ruins of an ancient city. Explore palaces, battlefields, and schools of thought like Confucianism and Taoism. (在古城遗址上穿越回2700年前的春秋时期 (公元前770—476年）。探索宫殿、战场以及儒家和道家等思想流派)”可知，如果想了解中国古代哲学，可以选择淹城春秋公园。故选D项。 3．答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Historical and cultural theme parks in China are booming, offering gateways to the past. From vivid recreation to grand theatrical shows, these parks bring ancient dynasties to life. Here are four top-rated destinations for time-traveling across China’s history. (中国的历史文化主题公园蓬勃发展，为人们提供了通往过去的窗口。从生动的复刻到盛大的戏剧表演，这些公园让古代王朝重现生机。以下是四个穿越中国历史的顶级目的地)”以及后文对四个主题公园的介绍可知，四个主题公园都能让人沉浸式体验中国历史。故选B项。 4．答案：D 5．答案：C 6．答案：B 7．答案：B 8．答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Forests worldwide are increasingly ruled by fast-growing trees, while slow-growing, long-lived species are disappearing.(全球范围内的森林正逐渐被生长迅速的树木所占据，而生长缓慢、寿命较长的树种则正在逐渐消失)”以及第二段“Using those maps, Svenning, a researcher of the study, showed slow, specialized trees losing ground to fast generalist species.(通过这些地图，该研究的负责人斯文宁展示了那些生长缓慢且具有特定适应性的树木正逐渐被生长速度快且适应性广泛的物种所取代)”可知，这项研究揭示了生长迅速的树木正在取代生长缓慢的树木。 9．答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“Logging (采伐), road building, and stronger fires leave open, sunny gaps where fast-growing trees take over quickly. Lighter leaves and softer wood let these trees grow fast, even when drought or heat makes water scarce. (林木采伐、道路修建以及愈发严重的火灾，会形成开阔、光照充足的林间空地，速生树种便会迅速抢占这些区域。较薄的叶子和较软的树干使得这些树木能够快速生长，即便在干旱或高温导致水源稀缺的情况下也是如此。)”可知，内部结构让快速生长的树木能够迅速占据阳光充足的区域。 10．答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“Long-lived trees grow slowly, yet their deep roots and strong trunks hold a forest together when weather turns tough.(长寿树种生长速度缓慢，但恶劣天气来临时，它们发达的深根系和坚固的树干能维系整片森林的稳固)”可知，长寿树木有助于维持森林的稳定性。 11．答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Future planning can treat those slow species as essential components, and it can test which restoration mixes hold up under extremes.(未来的规划可以将那些生长缓慢的物种视为不可或缺的组成部分，并且还可以测试哪些恢复方案在极端条件下仍能保持有效)”可知，作者对于保护生长缓慢的树木持支持态度。 12．答案：B 解析：考查细节理解，几年前作者有了新的研究想法后，会招收一名研究生来负责项目的具体执行。 13．答案：D 解析：考查写作目的，作者回忆自己读研究生的经历，是为了证明耐心指导学生的价值，说明学术传承需要时间和投入。 14．答案：A 解析：考查推理判断，作者最担心的是AI的即时回报会让教授们不再愿意招收学生，从而威胁到学术传承的传统。 15．答案：A 解析：考查推理判断，从最后一段可以看出，作者现在非常犹豫是否要为新项目招收新手学生，甚至坦言自己不会招收年轻时的自己。 16．答案：G; C; A; E; F 解析：①根据上文“If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. (如果你曾经为了免运费而在购物车里多加了一件商品,那么你就成了所谓的“spaving”的受害者,“spaving”被定义为“为了多省钱而多花钱”的行为。)”以及下文“Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings. (以下是一些提示和技巧,下次当你为了节省开支而忍不住多花一点钱时,或许可以参考。)”可知,上文提出“spaving”这一概念,即“为了多省钱而多花钱”,下文则给出避免该陷阱的建议,G选项“To avoid such a trap, it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge. (为了避免陷入这样的陷阱,打断这种冲动是非常重要的。)”中的“such a trap”指代上文的“spaving”,且提出了避免“spaving”的方法,即打断冲动,承上启下。故选G项。 ②根据上文“The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to get a great deal. (广告的语言可能会让你相信自己即将得到一笔划算的交易。)”以及下文“By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem. (通过计算,你会很快意识到节省的金额并没有看起来那么多。)”可知,此处应是在描述广告语言的迷惑性,以及通过计算可以揭示真相,C选项“But the numbers tell a different story. (但数字却讲述了一个不同的故事。)”通过转折,引出实际计算后的真实情况,与上下文逻辑一致,且其中的“numbers”与下文的“doing the math”相呼应。故选C项。 ③根据下文“You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. (如果你不知道有促销活动,你就不会有购物的冲动。考虑将自己从喜欢的品牌的邮件列表中移除,这样每次有特价活动时你就不会收到通知了。)”可知,此处是在建议避免接收促销信息,A选项“Turn off sales alerts. (关闭促销提醒。)”概括了段落核心内容,可作为小标题。故选A项。 ④根据上文“Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. (专注于你的购物清单。如果你手里有一份提前制定好的购物清单,你就可以避免往购物车里添加额外的商品。)”可知,此处是在建议制定购物清单以避免冲动购物,E选项“It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage. (它还可以帮助你更好地利用促销活动。)”中的“it”指代上文的“shopping list”,且表明购物清单还可以帮助你更好地利用促销活动,符合语境。故选E项。 ⑤根据上文“Pause before purchasing. (在购买前暂停一下。)”以及下文“Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. (在购买前等待24小时,同时四处逛逛,比较价格,甚至寻找更新的选择。)”可知,此处是在建议购买前暂停一下,F选项“Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not. (花点时间决定是否真的需要购买。)”直接呼应“Pause before purchasing”的主题,且与下文的等待24小时再购买的建议相契合。故选F项。 17．答案：B 18．答案：B 19．答案：D 20．答案：D 21．答案：A 22．答案：C 23．答案：A 24．答案：C 25．答案：C 26．答案：B 27．答案：B 28．答案：A 29．答案：C 30．答案：A 31．答案：D 32．答案：the；measuring；composition；to catch；are hurrying；are；whose；what；to；valuable 解析：①考查冠词。句意：《清明上河图》是中国古代十大名画之一，它展现了北宋都城汴京的繁华景象。空格后“capital of the Song Dynasty” (宋朝的都城)是对“Bianjing(汴京)”的同位语，需用定冠词the修饰。故填the。 ②考查非谓语动词。句意：这幅古画长528厘米，宽24.8厘米，以其合理的布局和完美的构图而著称。此处为非谓语动词作定语，measure与逻辑主语painting之间为主动关系，故用现在分词形式作后置定语，故填measuring。 ③考查名词。句意：这幅古画长528厘米，宽24.8厘米，以其合理的布局和完美的构图而著称。此处与arrangement并列，作介词for的宾语。compose的名词形式为composition“构图”。故填composition。 ④考查非谓语动词。句意：随着画卷的逐渐展开，首先映入眼帘的是汴京郊外的早春景色——溪流、桥梁、船只和发芽的树木。“the+序数词+名词+不定式”表示“第几个做某事的”，此处表示“第一个吸引眼球的事情”，故该空是动词不定式。故填to catch。 ⑤考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：一些旅客在薄雾中匆匆赶路，这正是清明节时常见的景象。空处为句子的谓语动词，画作《清明上河图》捕捉的是瞬间的动态画面——“旅客在薄雾中赶路”，因此用现在进行时。且主语travelers为复数，be动词为are。故填are hurrying。 ⑥考查主谓一致。句意：桥下有许多船只在争路。“Under the bridge”是地点状语，置于句首时句子要用完全倒装，句子的主语是“many boats”为复数，句子陈述一般事实，所以用一般现在时，be动词用are。故填are。 ⑦考查定语从句。句意：最后一部分是拥挤喧闹的市中心，这里的街道两旁排列着官府宅邸、民居院落、作坊、茶馆和杂货店，见证着各行各业的人们忙着各式营生。此处为定语从句修饰先行词downtown，且先行词在从句中作定语，应用关系代词whose引导该从句。故填whose。 ⑧考查宾语从句。句意：这幅画看起来栩栩如生，令人难以置信，仿佛我们能看到路过的人，听得到他们在谈论什么。hear后接宾语从句，从句中“talking about”缺少宾语，表示“讨论的内容”，所以用what引导该从句。故填what。 ⑨考查介词。句意：《清明上河图》如同一扇通往宋朝的窗口，为后世理解与研究800多年前中国人的经济社会生活提供了极其珍贵的资料。serve as a window to...“作为通往……的窗口”。故填to。 ⑩考查形容词。句意：《清明上河图》如同一扇通往宋朝的窗口，为后世理解与研究800多年前中国人的经济社会生活提供了极其珍贵的资料。value是名词，此处需要形容词valuable “有价值的”来修饰名词materials。故填valuable。 33．答案：Dear Jack, How are you? I’m writing to discuss the preparation for the Poetry Contest next month. I recommend Li Bai’s Thoughts on a Quiet Night for our performance. There are two reasons. Firstly, it’s short and easy to memorize, which suits you as a beginner. Secondly, its simple yet profound language vividly conveys deep homesickness, making it a timeless classic. As for practice time, how about every Monday and Friday afternoon after school in our classroom? Is that OK for you? I believe we can do well with enough practice. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 解析：1.词汇积累 记住:memorize → bear in mind 适合:suit → fit 讨论:discussion→ debate 足够的:enough→ sufficient 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句:As for practice time, how about every Monday and Friday afternoon after school in our classroom? 拓展句:As for practice time, I wonder if it would be suitable for you to meet every Monday and Friday afternoon after school in our classroom. 【高分句型1】Firstly, it’s short and easy to memorize, which suits you as a beginner. (运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】Secondly, its simple yet profound language vividly conveys deep homesickness, making it a timeless classic. (运用了现在分词作状语) 34．答案：The next morning, I approached Mr. Henderson with the old piece of wood in my hands. He looked up, his eyes filled with a deep, lingering sadness. I cleared my throat and stammered, “Mr. Henderson, I am so incredibly sorry. I didn’t realize what this fence meant.” I handed him the carved wood, which I had carefully cleaned and framed with a new border. His hands trembled as his fingers traced the faint initials. A tear rolled down his wrinkled cheek, and a small, weary smile appeared. He whispered, “You brought her back to me.” After that day, the boundary between our yards seemed to disappear. We didn’t just share a fence; we shared stories and company. I helped him repair his garden, and in return, he taught me the secrets of woodworking. The bright pine fence eventually weathered into a natural gray, blending perfectly with the memories we were now building together. I learned that the value of an object lies not in its appearance, but in the love it holds. True neighborliness, I realized, is about building bridges instead of installing fences. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 2025-2026年西和县第二中学、第三中学、第四中学、西和成名高级中学高二下学期期中考试 （英语）试卷 一、阅读理解 Historical and cultural theme parks in China are booming, offering gateways to the past. From vivid recreation to grand theatrical shows, these parks bring ancient dynasties to life. Here are four top-rated destinations for time-traveling across China’s history. Millennium City Park (Kaifeng, Henan) Step into the Northern Song Dynasty (960 — 1127) at this park, a 1:1 recreation of Zhang Zeduan’s iconic painting The Qingming Scroll. Wander Song-style streets, watch live shows like Judge Bao Solves Cases and Yue Fei’s Duel, and join folk activities such as a landlord’s daughter choosing a husband. The nightly water show Dream of the Eastern Capital wraps you in Song music, dance, and lights. Tang Paradise (Xi’an, Shaanxi) Transport yourself to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty (618 — 907) in this 66.7-hectare royal garden replica (复制品). Admire grand palaces, lotus ponds, and poetry lanes carved with verses by Li Bai and Du Fu. Don’t miss Dream Back to Tang Dynasty, a spectacular water-and-fire show with 300 performers, and taste authentic Tang snacks like roasted lamb and sesame cakes. Songcheng (Hangzhou, Zhejiang) Journey to the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 — 1279) in Hangzhou’s historic water town. Wander around bustling market streets with blacksmiths, teahouses, and costumed performers. The park’s signature show The Romance of the Song Dynasty blends dance, acrobatics, and special effects to retell classic tales. Combine it with nearby water parks for a full day of culture and fun. Yancheng Spring & Autumn Park (Changzhou, Jiangsu) Travel back 2,700 years to the Spring and Autumn Period (770 — 476 BCE) on the ruins of an ancient city. Explore palaces, battlefields, and schools of thought like Confucianism and Taoism. Ride themed attractions like the Bagua Maze and watch stunt shows restaging ancient wars. The night spectacle lights up the ruins, making history feel alive. These parks aren’t just entertainment — they’re living classrooms where you touch, see, and feel China’s rich past. Which dynasty will you visit first? 1．What do we know about Millennium City Park in Kaifeng? A.It has a history of more than 1000 years. B.It was built during the Northern Song Dynasty. C.It is designed based on a famous ancient painting. D.It shows ancient Chinese palace life. 2．Which park would you choose if you want to learn about ancient Chinese philosophy? A.Millennium City Park. B.Tang Paradise. C.Songcheng. D.Yancheng Spring & Autumn Park. 3．What do the four theme parks have in common according to the passage? A.They are all built on the ruins of ancient cities. B.They all offer immersive experiences of Chinese history. C.They are all located in the capitals of ancient dynasties. D.They all feature large-scale nighttime performances. A bunch of strangers showed up at the gym in the early morning of the last Sunday of April. A few athletes were already stretching (拉伸) their arms, but most of us could hardly focus. As I was burning off last night’s wrong decision — a big meal, I saw a poster about a gym’s 21-day workout challenge, and I immediately signed up. I always wanted to train for a marathon, so I considered this as my warm-up. Besides, I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change. It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions (限制) wouldn’t be easy. I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day, and I didn’t disturb (干扰) my normal routine. Instead, I had to be faced with the tough work of being more creative in my spare time, thus breaking some bad habits. Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal for the next part of the journey. But the difficult part about making a challenge is realizing that “wanting” and “doing” are two very different things. Just like a career, you have to physically work for it rather than just wait for it to happen. But that’s hard. Throughout the 21 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I got over that negative thought and kept working out. At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them. I had fewer headaches and more energy, and was simply happier. I even felt a little smarter as I researched which foods were better for my body, and learned how to make healthier meals. I felt a sense of achievement, too, because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times, I didn’t. I felt my waist got a little bit smaller and my arms got even stronger, and I no longer felt guilty after having a piece of cake or a drink. 4．What can be inferred about the author’s previous state before signing up for the challenge? A. He was a regular gym-goer with a strict diet. B. He was physically fit but lacked drive. C. He was an athlete preparing for a major competition. D. He had an unhealthy lifestyle and needed a change. 5．What was the most difficult part of the challenge for the author? A. Physical tiredness from the workouts. B. Refusing the invitation of junk food. C. Overcoming negative thought and self-doubt. D. Adjusting to the new diet plan. 6．What does the underlined word “sabotage” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Promote. B. Prevent. C. Improve. D. Support. 7．Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Adventurous and impatient B. Determined and strong-willed C. Active and casual D. Inspiring and changeable Forests worldwide are increasingly ruled by fast-growing trees, while slow-growing, long-lived species are disappearing. This shift may help the wood industry and forest recovery after fires, but it makes forests more easily harmed by climate change and extreme weather events. In a global analysis of over 31,000 tree species, scientists at Aarhus University mapped where fast-growth features are taking over. Using those maps, Svenning, a researcher of the study, showed slow, specialized trees losing ground to fast generalist species. In tropical and subtropical regions, Svenning flagged many small-range trees as most likely to disappear as disturbances increase. Once fast growers dominate a stand, storms, drought, and pests can knock larger parts of that forest down at once. Logging (采伐), road building, and stronger fires leave open, sunny gaps where fast-growing trees take over quickly. Lighter leaves and softer wood let these trees grow fast, even when drought or heat makes water scarce. Low wood density (密度), how heavy wood is for its size, also makes trunks easier to break and dry out. Over decades, stands packed with light-wood trees can snap or dry faster, making die-offs more likely during extreme years. Long-lived trees grow slowly, yet their deep roots and strong trunks hold a forest together when weather turns tough. Denser wood and tougher leaves help them resist drought and pests, and a recent report tied that durability (持久性) to climate protection. Because slow-growing trees take decades to mature, today’s choices can lock in either stability or fragility (脆弱) for a long time. Overall, forests seem set to grow quicker while losing the slow trees that keep ecosystems steady and diverse. Future planning can treat those slow species as essential components, and it can test which restoration mixes hold up under extremes. 8．What does the study reveal? A. Forests are becoming more diverse worldwide. B. Slow-growing trees are taking over forests. C. Fast-growing trees are disappearing rapidly. D. Fast-growing trees are replacing slow ones. 9．What makes fast-growing trees quickly take up sunny gaps? A. Inner structures. B. Rich resources. C. Human actions. D. Constant disruptions. 10．What advantage do long-lived trees have over fast-growing ones? A. They help maintain forests’ stability. B. They recover quickly after wildfires. C. They grow faster in tough conditions. D. They provide better wood for industry. 11．What is the author’s attitude to protecting slow-growing trees? A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Angry. D. Supportive. The other day, a new research idea struck me. The conceptual path was clear, but putting it into practice would require real effort — writing code, training models, and performing statistical analysis. Just a few years ago, the next step would have been a no-brainer. I would recruit (招收) a graduate student into my lab and allow him to run the project. This time, an uncomfortable thought came into my head: Should I just give these tasks to AI rather than take a chance on a student? I thought about the skills I had when I started graduate school more than a decade ago. I had zero research experience. One professor saw past my ignorance and agreed to take me on. The first few months were a hard reality check. I worked tirelessly, yet whenever I presented my work, my adviser would send me back to start from scratch. But she didn’t give up on me. It took a year or so before I finally produced something we could build on. Years later, when I became a professor, I watched my own students struggle, just as I once had. Eventually, the investment paid off, and I experienced the deep satisfaction of watching them transform into capable junior collaborators. Now, AI has introduced a new option. It can competently handle a lot of the work I need to finish immediately. The issue is not whether my students are valuable — in the long run, they are invaluable. The issue is that their value emerges slowly, whereas AI delivers immediate returns. Close colleagues are quietly holding back from taking on as many students as they used to. My immediate thought is to expect any student I recruit to contribute at a much higher level from the beginning. But to meet those expectations, a student would likely rely heavily on AI tools. The real danger is that the common assumption that taking on students is part of a professor’s academic journey will quietly disappear. Personally, I am seriously tempted (诱惑) not to take a chance on a beginner for my new project — which means today, I probably wouldn’t recruit my younger self. 12．What would be the author’s reaction to the new research idea a few years ago? A. Using AI for all the work. B. Giving the tasks to a student. C. Seeking help from friends. D. Asking for his adviser’s opinions. 13．Why does the author mention his own experience as a graduate student? A. To show how difficult research is. B. To explain why he became a professor. C. To criticize his former adviser’s methods. D. To prove the value of patience in teaching. 14．What is the author’s main concern about AI in education? A. It threatens the tradition of teaching. B. It lengthens students’ academic journey. C. It takes the place of teachers. D. It increases professors’ workload greatly. 15．What can be inferred about the author now? A. He hesitates to take new students. B. He values processes more than results. C. He refuses to use AI in his projects. D. He will build a student team soon. 二、七选五 16．If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. ①_____________ Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings. Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to-get a great deal. ②_____________ For example, for some “buy more, save more” deals, the percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is. By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem. ③_____________ You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. Similarly, don’t walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on. Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. ④_____________ Keep a full list of products that you intend to buy at some point and refer to it when you come across a sale. Pause before purchasing. ⑤_____________ Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. This gives you time to ensure you don’t already own the item or something similar, helping to avoid unnecessary repetition. A. Tum off sales alerts. B. Spave with a purpose. C. But the numbers tell a different story. D. But consider all the potential ways to save the money. E. It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage. F. Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not. G. To avoid such a trap. it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge. 三、完形填空（15空） Rob made ends meet for his family as a handyman doing odd jobs around the area.

It was a mess — gray, rotting wood that looked like it would fall over if a strong wind blew. Mr. Henderson was a retired carpenter who lived alone. He rarely spoke and spent most of his time sitting on his porch, staring at the garden. One weekend, without consulting him, I decided to replace the fence. I thought I was doing us both a favor. I spent hours tearing down the old wood and installing bright, pressure-treated pine. I felt proud of the clean, modern look. However, when Mr. Henderson saw it, his reaction wasn’t what I had expected. He didn’t say thank you. Instead, his face turned pale, and he went back inside without a word. I was confused and a bit annoyed. “He’s just an ungrateful old man,” I grumbled to my wife. But a few days later, a neighbor told me the story behind that old fence. It turned out that Mr. Henderson and his late wife had built that fence together forty years ago. They had carved their initials near the gate, and it was the last thing they had built before she passed away. To me, it was rotting wood; to him, it was a precious gallery of memories. Guilt washed over me like a cold wave. I looked at the new, soulless pine fence and realized I had destroyed his most cherished treasure in the name of “improvement.” I knew I had to make it right, but I didn’t know how to bring back what was gone. I spent the whole night in my garage, looking through the pile of old wood I hadn’t yet thrown away. Luckily, I found the section with the initials. It was damaged, but still readable. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, I approached Mr. Henderson with the old piece of wood in my hands. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After that day, the boundary between our yards seemed to disappear. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 第 1 页 共 4 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
