Niagara-on-the-Lake is a town in Ontario, Canada and we went to visit it on our second day there. While walking along the main street, I saw a couple that were dressed up like people from the old days, which was interesting to see. Another amazing thing that I saw was a monument that listed the names of the people who swam across Ontario Lake. I have been to Niagara Falls in the past but I have never visited it in the evening when everything is lit up. In the evening of our second day there, so majestic, so magical, especially with the fireworks overhead. However, there were too many people visiting Niagara Falls that night. It was too crowded. It gave me a feeling that something big was going to happen and that’s when the fireworks started. No wonder so many people came there that night. The third day we went home.

(然而，那天晚上参观尼亚加拉大瀑布的人太多了。那里太拥挤了。它给了我一种即将发生大事的感觉，就在这时，焰火开始了。难怪那天晚上有那么多人来了。)”可知，很多人去参观尼亚加拉大瀑布是因为当天晚上有烟火表演，因此人们想在那里看烟花，所以选择去尼亚加拉大瀑布。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the morning of our first day there, we traveled around the farm. (在那里的第一天早上，我们在农场里转了一圈。)”以及本段中“ In the afternoon, the owner of the farm took us on a tour of the farmland and then allowed us to pick fruits and vegetables.(下午，农场的主人带我们参观了农场，然后允许我们采摘水果和蔬菜。)”；以及根据第四段中“Niagara-on-the-Lake is a town in Ontario, Canada and we went to visit it on our second day there.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 8. Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. They used it for work and daily life. B. It was their only possession. C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. The man’s job was bike racing. 9. What do the couple learn from their experience? A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot. 10. How did people get to know the couple’s problem? A. From a stranger. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news. D. From radio broadcasts. 11. From this story, we can see humanity is . A. commercial B. evil C. kind D. notorious 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者丈夫的自行车是家中唯一的交通工具，但不幸丢了，作者写信给报纸后，许多人提出要帮助，其中一位热心的陌生人甚至买了一辆自行车给作者的丈夫。这种善良的行为使作者对人性充满了信心，也催生了他们去关心和帮助别人的想法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. (那辆黑色的科纳18型自行车是我们唯一的交通工具。Trevor用它来上班，每周工作60个小时来养活他年轻的家庭。自行车还可以用来买东西，这样我们就不用从住处走很远的路了。)”可知，自行车之所以对作者一家来说很重要是因为它是家里唯一的交通工具，一家人依靠它来工作和生活。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. (这一经历在我们的生活中产生了广泛的影响，因为它增强了我们对全人类的信心。它也影响了我们，让我们更加注意与他人分享的方式。无论大小，一个善举都表明有人关心你。结果可能是永恒的。)”可知，这段经历深刻地影响着作者一家，让作者一家相信人性，激励他们去关心和帮助别人。由此可知，作者夫妇从中学到了一个善意的举动可能意味着很多。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. (我很伤心有人会偷我们的自行车，所以我写信给报纸，告诉他们我们的故事。)”可知，作者在丢了自行车之后写了信给报纸，人们是通过报纸知道了作者一家遇到的问题。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. (不久之后，我们这个地区的几个人主动提出要帮忙。一个很棒的陌生人甚至买了一辆自行车，然后打电话给我丈夫来取。)”和“It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. (一个完全陌生的人会为了一个他们从未见过的人而竭力帮助，这真的是一种荣誉。)”可知，这些完全陌生的人无私地提供帮助，因此人性是美好的，是充满善意的。故选C。 D It’s not easy to feel like you’re always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make. Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again. And you wish you had a time capsule (胶囊) to go back and make things change if you find mistakes. You fear what others will think about you and that they will dislike you. You want to be socially perfect. Academically, you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks. Although most would say “it’s good to have high standards (标准)”, they have no idea about the internal bell you put yourself through to achieve perfection. If you come up to less than your desired goal, you will feel as though you have failed, but you’re far from failing; you just don’t see it that way. So instead you are telling yourself that you’re stupid, and not smart. The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the “not good enough” label each and every day. You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others. If people don’t perform up to your expectations then you will think them not good enough. This causes a lot of frustration because you can’t trust anyone to get things right. So instead of being a team player you fly solo and try to do two or three jobs at once. Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other aspects of your life. The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it’s damaging our emotional and mental health. We fight for perfection of our body, our performance, and our relationships. In a society that overstates mistakes, is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect? We all have fears and make mistakes, and that’s perfectly OK. It’s our imperfections that makes life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger and more adaptable person. We don’t have to achieve the impossible. We are designed to be perfectly imperfect. 12. Where is the text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A novel. C. A magazine. D. A guidebook. 13. Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree? A. Nobody is perfect. B. Be generous with praise. C. There is no best, only better. D. A contented mind is an everlasting feast. 14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. The society plays a role in perfectionism. B. More and more people are making mistakes. C. Many young people find it impossible to be perfect. D. It’s unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays. 15. What does the author think of the imperfection? A. It’s unbearable. B. It`s part of our life. C. It has to be overcome. D. It does harm to our mental health. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过对“完美主义者”的心态和做法的描述，指出完美是不可能实现的，我们生来就是不完美的，正是我们的“不完美”使得我们的生活变得有趣，帮助我们成为更好的自己。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。在文章中作者剖析了完美主义者的心态，讨论了过度追求完美不仅影响身心健康，而且会因为对别人苛求而产生许多问题，在最后一段“We all have fears and make mistakes, and that’s perfectly OK. It’s our imperfections that makes life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger and more adaptable person. We don’t have to achieve the impossible. We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.(我们都有恐惧，都会犯错，这完全没有关系。正是我们的不完美让生活变得有趣，它们帮助我们成长为一个更强大、更有适应能力的人。我们不必去完成不可能的事情。我们生来就是不完美的)”作者指出人生来就是不完美的，正是不完美才让生活更有趣，帮助我们成长为一个更强大、更有适应能力的人，因此我们没有必要过分追求完美；由此可知，本文中作者主要论述人生来就是不完美的，没有必要过分追求完美，这种话题的文章最有可能摘自杂志。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“If you come up to less than your desired goal, you will feel as though you have failed, but you’re far from failing; you just don’t see it that way. So instead you are telling yourself that you’re stupid, and not smart. The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the ‘not good enough’ label each and every day.(如果你没有达到你想要的目标，你会觉得自己失败了，但你远没有失败；你只是不这么看。所以你反而告诉自己你很愚蠢，不聪明。你给自己施加的压力让你感到沉重，你每天都戴着‘不够好’的标签)”、第三段中的“You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others. If people don’t perform up to your expectations then you will think them not good enough. (你不仅对自己有高标准，对别人也有高标准。如果人们没有达到你的期望，那么你会认为他们不够好)”以及第四段中的“The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it’s damaging our emotional and mental health. We fight for perfection of our body, our performance, and our relationships. (这种追求完美的尝试被称为完美主义，它正在损害我们的情感和心理健康。我们为完美的身体、完美的表现和完美的人际关系而奋斗)”可知，完美主义者追求完美，他们对自己有高标准，没有达到想要的目标，就会觉得自己失败了，认为没有实现心中的最好；而且对别人也有高标准，如果人们没有达到期望，就会认为他们做不够好；由此可推知，完美主义者追求完美，总是认为自己或别人做不够好，可以做得更好；因此完美主义者最可能赞同C选项“There is no best, only better.(没有最好，只有更好)”的观点。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it’s damaging our emotional and mental health. We fight for perfection of our body, our performance, and our relationships. In a society that overstates mistakes, is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect? (追求完美被称为完美主义，它正在损害我们的情感和心理健康。我们为完美的身体、完美的表现和完美的人际关系而奋斗。在一个夸大错误的社会里，有那么多年轻人试图完成不可能完成的任务，追求完美，这有什么好奇怪的？)”可知，一个夸大错误的社会里，年轻人追求完美试图完成不可能完成的任务是不足为奇的；由此可知，夸大错误的社会使年轻人追求完美主义，即社会对完美主义者发挥了作用。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“We all have fears and make mistakes, and that’s perfectly OK. It’s our imperfections that makes life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger and more adaptable person. We don’t have to achieve the impossible. We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.(我们都有恐惧，都会犯错，这完全没有关系。正是我们的不完美让生活变得有趣，它们帮助我们成长为一个更强大、更有适应能力的人。我们不必去完成不可能的事情。我们生来就是不完美的。)”可知，作者认为我们生来就是不完美的，都有恐惧，都会犯错，而且正是不完美让生活变得有趣，帮助我们成长的更强大、更具有适应能力；由此可推知，作者认为我们生来就是不完美的，不完美是我们生活中的一部分。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) The act of making and being a friend is as simple as it is difficult.

Gillian Sandstrom, a senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Essex in the UK, has done research on something called the “liking gap”, which says that the little voice in your head telling you that somebody doesn’t like you very much is wrong. ____18____. Instead, remember that when you talk to someone else, you’re actually brightening their day. Invest in activities that you love.

But you have to accept it. (联系一个你不太了解的人有点尴尬——无论是发送第一条短信还是在电梯里开始闲聊。但你必须接受它。)”可知，这里建议人们要学会接受尴尬。B选项“坦然接受那份尴尬”和下文意思一致。故选B。 【17题详解】 上文“Remember that people will like you more than you think they will. (记住，人们会比你想象的更喜欢你。)”和下文“Gillian Sandstrom, a senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Essex in the UK, has done research on something called the “liking gap”, which says that the little voice in your head telling you that somebody doesn’t like you very much is wrong. (英国埃塞克斯大学心理学高级讲师吉莉安·桑德斯特罗姆（Gillian Sandstrom）对一种名为“喜欢差距”的东西进行了研究，即你脑海中的小声音告诉你有人不太喜欢你是错误的。)”可知，作者要我们记住别人很可能对我们的主动交友行为会作出善意的回应，下文提供了理论及实证支持，G选项“事实上，这个建议是有理论与实践研究支持的”正好起到了过渡作用，和上下文意思一致。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“which says that the little voice in your head telling you that somebody doesn’t like you very much is wrong. (即你脑海中的小声音告诉你有人不太喜欢你是错误的。)”和下文“Instead, remember that when you talk to someone else, you’re actually brightening their day.

Ask anyone about how to make friends and they will most likely tell you to try a new hobby. It might sound empty, but it works.

The planet is warming, and there’s so much good television out there to watch. We get it. But if you want to keep your friendships, you have to show up for them.

One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview. I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved. On impulse (冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name, I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered. “Yes,” she said in surprise, with extreme excitement. “It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.” So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead. Her happiness at retrieving (找回) this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left. The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness. The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance whatsoever. Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so I could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen, overwhelmed by misery. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. Then I heard a man talking heartily to her and went to the door. He was a delivery man, and his arms were full of parcels. “This is a mistake,” I said, but he read the name on the parcels and they were for me. When he had gone, I didn’t know what to do. Later, Peggy and I sat on the floor looking at each other. What a surprise! I looked for the name of the sender. Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. I picked up the note, which read “Thanks for returning of the umbrella. Merry Christmas! “It was sent by the lady. Holding the note tightly, I was on the verge of tears, with a stream of warmth spreading through my body. On that cold Christmas, I forgot I had no money for the rent and only fifteen dollars in my pocket. We just sat in our small apartment unwrapping the gifts one by one in happiness. A sweet peace flooded me like a blessing which made me hopeful again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者这位单身母亲的经历为线索，讲述了作者生活拮据，在电车上捡到一把珍贵的丝绸伞并归还给失主。圣诞节前作者失业，身无分文，无法给女儿佩吉准备圣诞礼物，陷入绝望的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，门铃响了，佩吉冲过去开门，喊着一定是圣诞老人来了。”可知，第一段可描写门铃响起，佩吉以为是圣诞老人，结果是快递员送来许多包裹，作者疑惑不解，查看寄件人信息的经过。 ② 由第二段首句内容“突然，一个附在包裹上的便条吸引了我的目光。”可知，第二段可描写作者发现包裹上的便条，得知是伞的主人送来的圣诞礼物，内心充满温暖，与女儿开心拆礼物，重燃希望的情景。 2. 续写线索：门铃响起——快递送包裹——查看寄件人——发现便条——知晓送礼人——感受温暖——重燃希望 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①归还：return/give back ②紧握：hold/grab/seize ③拆礼物：unwrap the gifts/take apart the presents 情绪类 ①惊喜：surprise/wonderment ②几乎要流泪了：be on the verge of tears/be close to tears 【点睛】[高分句型1] I picked up the note, which read “Thanks for returning of the umbrella.

After doing a Google search he found a cottage on Nokara Farms in St. Catherines, Canada and that is where we went. Cottage we stayed at was located on Nokara Farms. The cottage overlooked Ontario Lake and the view was exciting. Lying on the couch and looking straight out of the window I could see Ontario Lake. In the morning of our first day there, we traveled around the farm. I was glad that I hadn’t forgotten to bring my camera along with me. I was able to take some amazing photographs of the lake and the sunset. In the afternoon, the owner of the farm took us on a tour of the farmland and then allowed us to pick fruits and vegetables. Niagara-on-the-Lake is a town in Ontario, Canada and we went to visit it on our second day there. While walking along the main street, I saw a couple that were dressed up like people from the old days, which was interesting to see. Another amazing thing that I saw was a monument that listed the names of the people who swam across Ontario Lake. I have been to Niagara Falls in the past but I have never visited it in the evening when everything is lit up. In the evening of our second day there, so majestic, so magical, especially with the fireworks overhead. However, there were too many people visiting Niagara Falls that night. It was too crowded. It gave me a feeling that something big was going to happen and that’s when the fireworks started. No wonder so many people came there that night. The third day we went home. My trip to Ontario, Canada was an amazing experience that I will never forget. I definitely want to return there in the future, hopefully in the near future. 4. Why did so many people go to Niagara Falls? A. It was too hot that night. B. Some people were performing there. C. They wanted to watch fireworks there. D.

The author’s happy time with his uncle. D. The author’s trip to Ontario, Canada. C It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 8. Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. They used it for work and daily life. B. It was their only possession. C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. The man’s job was bike racing. 9. What do the couple learn from their experience? A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot. 10. How did people get to know the couple’s problem? A. From a stranger. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news. D. From radio broadcasts. 11. From this story, we can see humanity is . A. commercial B. evil C. kind D. notorious D It’s not easy to feel like you’re always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make. Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again. And you wish you had a time capsule (胶囊) to go back and make things change if you find mistakes. You fear what others will think about you and that they will dislike you. You want to be socially perfect. Academically, you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks. Although most would say “it’s good to have high standards (标准)”, they have no idea about the internal bell you put yourself through to achieve perfection. If you come up to less than your desired goal, you will feel as though you have failed, but you’re far from failing; you just don’t see it that way. So instead you are telling yourself that you’re stupid, and not smart. The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the “not good enough” label each and every day. You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others. If people don’t perform up to your expectations then you will think them not good enough. This causes a lot of frustration because you can’t trust anyone to get things right. So instead of being a team player you fly solo and try to do two or three jobs at once. Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other aspects of your life. The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it’s damaging our emotional and mental health. We fight for perfection of our body, our performance, and our relationships. In a society that overstates mistakes, is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect? We all have fears and make mistakes, and that’s perfectly OK. It’s our imperfections that makes life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger and more adaptable person. We don’t have to achieve the impossible. We are designed to be perfectly imperfect. 12. Where is the text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A novel. C. A magazine. D. A guidebook. 13. Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree? A. Nobody is perfect. B. Be generous with praise. C. There is no best, only better. D. A contented mind is an everlasting feast. 14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. The society plays a role in perfectionism. B. More and more people are making mistakes. C. Many young people find it impossible to be perfect. D. It’s unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays. 15. What does the author think of the imperfection? A. It’s unbearable. B. It`s part of our life. C. It has to be overcome. D. It does harm to our mental health. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) The act of making and being a friend is as simple as it is difficult.

One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview. I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved. On impulse (冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name, I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered. “Yes,” she said in surprise, with extreme excitement. “It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.” So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead. Her happiness at retrieving (找回) this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left. The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness. The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance whatsoever. Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so I could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen, overwhelmed by misery. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
