A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了美国四个各具特色的博物馆，分别展示了隐生动物传说、拉斯维加斯霓虹灯历史、流行文化以及美国空军航空发展历程。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At this museum, you can explore footprint casts, hair samples and witness stories to judge whether these creatures might be real.(在这个博物馆里，你可以通过足迹模型、毛发样本以及目击者讲述的故事，来判断这些生物是否真实存在)”可知，在该博物馆可以查看脚印模型、毛发样本等证据。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Famous for its bright lights, Las Vegas is home to the Neon (霓虹) Museum, where history shines. The museum displays old neon signs from the early days of the Las Vegas Strip.(以霓虹灯闻名的拉斯维加斯拥有霓虹博物馆，这里的历史熠熠生辉。博物馆展出了拉斯维加斯大道早期时期的古老霓虹招牌)”可知，霓虹博物馆通过展示古老的霓虹灯招牌来呈现拉斯维加斯的历史。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。通读文章可知，隐生动物学博物馆让游客通过证据自行判断生物真实性；霓虹博物馆可漫步“霓虹墓地”感受历史；流行文化博物馆有Sound Lab供游客演奏录音；空军博物馆提供模拟飞行任务。由此可知，四座博物馆均为游客提供互动体验。 B Pedro Soto, a 56-year-old school teacher, had a sore throat, so he went to the doctor, believing he suffered from an infection by some virus. However, after his doctors did a blood test, they found it was type 2 diabetes (糖尿病). Medicine to get it under control was immediately recommended, but Soto was determined to try something different. Inspired by one of his co-workers whose husband ran the marathon, Soto applied to the TCS Marathon through an application specifically made for teachers. He had to share an article in which he spoke about his illness and was ultimately selected for the team. As he trained and developed a running habit, he received regular blood tests, and three months later, his blood sugar became normal. The marathon took place last November. Soto wasn’t able to consistently train until the beginning of August, because in June, he came down with Lyme disease (莱姆病). It was also during this time that Soto’s father passed away. Still, he used his runs as opportunities to release bad feelings and to build his strength back from being sick. “For me, it is amazing. It is like a block party, but the block party is the whole city,” he says. “During the race, you’re pounding for hours, the same joints, the same bones and muscles. Something’s beginning to feel pain, but the noise of the people out there, the music, the cheers... everything is louder than your pain.” Another thing that kept him moving forward was his students. Soto shares that his students are a motivating factor for him to recover his health. “If I’m sick and don’t feel good, that is going to affect my instruction in the classroom, my relationship with the students, and eventually my quality as a teacher! Teachers get burned out because sometimes they don’t balance their lives. This TCS Marathon was a great opportunity for me to balance my life.” 4. Why did Pedro Soto initially go to the doctor? A. To treat Lyme disease. B. To prepare for a marathon. C. To address a throat discomfort. D. To check his blood sugar levels. 5. How did running benefit Pedro Soto? A. It helped cure his Lyme disease. B. It allowed him to skip medication. C. It made him a professional marathon runner. D. It improved his physical condition noticeably. 6. What can be inferred about Pedro Soto’s character from paragraph 3? A. He is brave but refuses advice. B. He is tough and emotionally strong. C. He relies heavily on others’ support. D. He prioritizes work over personal health. 7. What does Pedro Soto imply about teaching in the last paragraph? A. Teachers had better avoid social activities. B. Health affects teaching quality significantly. C. Running is the main way to reduce pressure. D. Students motivate teachers to pursue their dreams. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了56岁教师佩德罗·索托因喉咙不适就医，被诊断出2型糖尿病。他通过参加TCS马拉松并坚持跑步，不仅改善了健康状况，还获得了心理上的慰藉，并认识到健康对教学的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Pedro Soto, a 56-year-old school teacher, had a sore throat, so he went to the doctor, believing he suffered from an infection by some virus.(56岁的学校教师佩德罗·索托喉咙痛，所以他去看了医生，以为自己感染了某种病毒。)”可知，索托最初去看医生是因为喉咙不适。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As he trained and developed a running habit, he received regular blood tests, and three months later, his blood sugar became normal.(随着他进行训练并养成跑步的习惯，他接受了定期的血液检查，三个月后，他的血糖恢复了正常。)”以及第三段中的“Still, he used his runs as opportunities to release bad feelings and to build his strength back from being sick.(尽管如此，他仍把跑步当作释放负面情绪以及从疾病中恢复体力的机会。)”可知，跑步显著改善了他的身体状况。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It was also during this time that Soto’s father passed away. Still, he used his runs as opportunities to release bad feelings and to build his strength back from being sick.(也正是在这段时间，索托的父亲去世了。尽管如此，他仍把跑步当作释放负面情绪以及从疾病中恢复体力的机会。)”可知，在面对疾病和丧父的双重打击下，索托依然坚持跑步来调节情绪并恢复体力，由此可推断出他是一个坚韧且内心强大的人。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If I’m sick and don’t feel good, that is going to affect my instruction in the classroom, my relationship with the students, and eventually my quality as a teacher!(如果我生病了，感觉不舒服，那将会影响我在课堂上的教学、我与学生的关系，并最终影响我作为教师的质量！)”可知，索托暗示了教师的健康状况会显著影响其教学质量。故选B项。 C A new island to support wildlife is being created in the UK. The National Trust, a conservation organization, recently sank three large boats into the Blackwater Estuary (河口) in Essex, England, to form the base of the island. Birds can rest there, and the structure will protect the area’s salt marsh (盐沼) habitats, where many plant and animal species live. An estuary is where a river widens and flows into the sea. The Blackwater Estuary is home to some of the UK’s most threatened seabirds. Experts hope the artificial island will be a safe place for these birds. To make the artificial island, the team cut holes in the bottom of the boats and poured mud into them to weigh them down. It took about 282,000 cubic feet of mud to fill and surround the boats — enough to fill more than three Olympic swimming pools. More mud will be piled on top, and then a layer of gravel (砾石) will be added. Once the work is complete, the island will be slightly larger than a football field. It will be a place for the birds to rest, even when the tide is at its highest and nearby shores are largely underwater. Along with creating a new home for birds, the team hopes the island will slow the erosion of the salt marsh inside the estuary. Erosion can happen when flooding and waves pull soil and rocks into the sea. The new island should act as a defense, sheltering the salt marsh from waves to protect the habitat. Katy Gilchrist, coastal project manager for the National Trust, said the program was a form of “marine recycling” because it transformed retired boats into a reserve for wildlife. “We’re basically turning history into habitat,” she added. “And as far as we know, no one has attempted anything quite like this before.” 8. Why is the new island being built? A. To serve as a scenic spot. B. To address waste management. C. To recycle old boats for fishing. D. To protect wildlife and its habitats. 9. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “three Olympic swimming pools”? A. The total area of the new island. B. The depth of the artificial island. C. The huge amount of mud needed. D. The number of boats used in the project. 10. What does the underlined word “erosion” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Influence of waves on bird habitats. B. The filling of soil and rocks into the sea. C. The formation of new land from mud and gravel. D. Gradual destruction of land by water and waves. 11. What can be inferred from Katy Gilchrist’s words in the last paragraph? A. The National Trust copied an old idea. B. Marine recycling is common in the UK. C. The project gives old boats a new natural use. D. The island will be for studying history and wildlife. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍英国保护组织将三艘旧船沉入河口造人工岛，填泥铺砾石供濒危海鸟栖息。岛屿可减缓盐沼海浪侵蚀，废旧船只改造为野生动物保护区，是独特海洋再利用项目。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new island to support wildlife is being created in the UK. The National Trust, a conservation organization, recently sank three large boats into the Blackwater Estuary (河口) in Essex, England, to form the base of the island.(英国正在打造一座新的岛屿以保护野生动物。一家名为国家信托的自然保护组织最近在英格兰埃塞克斯郡的黑水河口沉没三艘大型船只，用作该岛屿的基础)”可知，建造这座新岛屿是为了保护野生动物及其栖息地。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It took about 282,000 cubic feet of mud to fill and surround the boats — enough to fill more than three Olympic swimming pools.(填满并环绕这些船只需要约28.2万立方英尺的泥浆，足够装满三个以上奥林匹克游泳池)”可知，作者提到“三个奥运游泳池”试图说明需要大量淤泥。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the salt marsh inside the estuary(河口内部的盐沼)”并结合常识可知，盐沼回侵蚀毁坏土地。故划线词意思是“水和波浪对土地的逐渐破坏”。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Katy Gilchrist, coastal project manager for the National Trust, said the program was a form of “marine recycling” because it transformed retired boats into a reserve for wildlife.(国家信托基金会的海岸项目主管凯蒂·吉尔克里斯特表示，该项目是一种“海洋回收”形式，因为它将退役船只改造成野生动物的庇护所)”可知，该项目使旧船获得了新的自然用途。 D Soon, people with visual impairments might read regular books using a new audio device. Developed by MIT, this finger-worn device aims to give them affordable, immediate access to printed text. The FingerReader, a 3D printed trial model, fits like a ring. It is equipped with a small camera that scans text. Software tracks finger movements, identifies words, and processes the information. A machine voice reads aloud. It quickly translates books, menus, and other materials needed for daily living. “It’s like reading with the tip of your finger,” said Pattie Maes, an MIT professor who founded and led the research group developing the model. “It’s more flexible and immediate than any current solution,” she added. Developers faced unusual challenges in making the device. It uses vibration (震动) motors to warn users when they wander off the line of text, and audio signals to indicate the start and finish of the reading material. To accomplish this, developers spent three years coding software and experimenting with various designs. They also received feedback from people who are visually impaired. Much work remains before the FingerReader is ready for the market. It needs adjustments to work on cell phones. The device can read papers, books, and computer screens, but it struggles with touch screens — touching the screen with the fingertip shifts the text and produces unintended results. Jerry Berrier, aged 62, was born blind. He is attracted to the portability (便携) of the FingerReader. He sees promise in its offer of real-time use. “When I go to the doctor’s office, there may be forms that I read before I sign them,” Berrier said. “Everywhere we go, for folks who are sighted, there are things that inform us about the products we interact with. I want to be able to interact with those same products, regardless of how I have to do it.” “Any tool that gives better access to printed material helps us live fuller, richer, more productive lives,” Berrier added. 12. How does the FingerReader begin its reading process? A. By reading the text aloud with a machine voice. B. By scanning text with a small camera. C. By tracking the finger movements. D. By identifying the printed words. 13. What problem does the FingerReader have with touch screens? A. The camera fails to identify words. B. Audio signals do not work on them. C. Touching them moves the text around. D. The software is not coded for digital texts. 14. What does Jerry Berrier think of the future of the FingerReader? A. Hopeful. B. Limited. C. Uncertain. D. Challenging. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Widespread Use and Popularity of FingerReader B. A New Reading Device for the Visually Impaired C. An Introduction to FingerReader’s Working Principles D. From Challenge to Solution: The Story of FingerReader 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院研发的一款供视力障碍人士使用的新型指环阅读设备FingerReader，介绍了它的外形、工作原理、研发难点、现存不足以及视力障碍使用者对它的正面评价。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“It is equipped with a small camera that scans text.(它配备了一个小型摄像头来扫描文字。)”可知，FingerReader依靠小型摄像头扫描文字开启阅读流程。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第五段“The device can read papers, books, and computer screens, but it struggles with touch screens — touching the screen with the fingertip shifts the text and produces unintended results.(该设备可以读取纸张、书籍和电脑屏幕，但在触摸屏上使用时存在问题 —— 指尖触碰屏幕会挪动文字，产生非预期的效果。)”可知，这款设备在触摸屏上使用时的问题是触碰屏幕会使文字移位。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第六段“He sees promise in its offer of real-time use.(他认为这款设备的实时使用功能前景可观。)”可知，Jerry Berrier对FingerReader的未来充满希望。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“Soon, people with visual impairments might read regular books using a new audio device. Developed by MIT, this finger-worn device aims to give them affordable, immediate access to printed text.(不久之后，视力障碍人士或许可以借助一款新型音频设备阅读普通书籍。这款由麻省理工学院研发的指环式设备旨在让他们能够平价、即时地读取印刷文字。)”可知，全文围绕一款面向视力障碍人群的新型阅读设备展开介绍，“一款供视力障碍人群使用的新型阅读设备”可概括文章主旨，适合作标题。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Graduation doesn’t mark the end of learning — true lifelong learners know that.

It was a warm morning in June; she was just settling into her new job as a manager’s assistant, still nervous about her probation period (试用期), and often felt a touch of homesickness in her small rented apartment near the workplace. Little did she know that a small decision she had made two years earlier would soon become a ray of hope for a stranger. Two years ago, while volunteering at a blood drive on her university campus, Eluned learned about stem cell (干细胞) donation. Curious and eager to help, she filled out a form agreeing to donate and provided a small sample from the inside of her cheek, joining the global donor pool without overthinking it. At the time, she merely thought it was a simple way to lend a hand, never expecting it to amount to anything more. She never imagined that her tissue matching profile would one day match a patient in desperate need — a 17-year-old boy named Roscoe suffering from a severe blood cancer. When the donor center informed her of the match, Eluned felt a mix of shock and hesitation. She worried about taking a long leave during probation, fearing she might lose her job, as she had worked hard to land the position. Her parents, who lived in Wales, were also concerned, urging her to reconsider it. But after learning that Roscoe had no matching relatives and her donation was his only chance, she made up her mind. Eluned planned to ask her boss, Mr Harlow, for a 10-day leave. She spent the night before anxiously practicing what to say, fearing that her request would be rejected. Yet she knew she couldn’t turn her back on the boy whose life depended on ber. Then, she went to Mr Harlow and spoke out her request for a 10-day leave. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Seeing Mr Harlow’s serious look, Eluned’s heart sank. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After Mr Harlow learned about the truth from Eluned, his words moved her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Seeing Mr Harlow’s serious look, Eluned’s heart sank. She took a deep breath and explained the whole truth in a shaking voice: Two years before she had joined a stem cell donor pool, and now she was the only match for a 17-year-old cancer patient named Roscoe. She admitted her worry about taking time off during probation but stressed that the boy had no other hope. She promised that she would make up for lost work. Mr Harlow listened silently, his expression softening as she spoke. After Mr Harlow learned about the truth from Eluned, his words moved her. “Eluned, you’re not asking for leave — you’re saving a life,” he said warmly. “I’m proud to have someone like you on my team. Take the ten days, and don’t worry about your probation.” He assured her that her position, which had been secured through long-standing contributions, would be kept. He even offered to drive her to the hospital if necessary. Eluned thanked him repeatedly for his understanding and kindness. With his support, she felt a surge of courage and immediately called the donor center to confirm the procedure. A stranger’s kindness then became a shared mission. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕人物经历展开，讲述了大学毕业生Eluned远赴多伦多工作，意外得知自己的干细胞与一名身患血癌的少年配型成功，在试用期内她纠结再三，最终决定请假前去捐献，并鼓起勇气向老板提出请假申请的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写埃卢妮德忐忑地向老板说明请假缘由，道出自己要为患病少年捐献干细胞的事情，并承诺补回落下的工作。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写老板知晓真相后表示理解与支持，不仅批准假期，还主动提供帮助，埃卢妮德也重拾勇气，确定了捐献事宜。 2. 续写线索：心生不安 —— 讲述缘由 —— 许下承诺 —— 老板动容 —— 批准假期、伸出援手 —— 心怀感激、确定捐献 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②弥补：make up for/compensate for ③确认：confirm/settle on 情绪类 ①不安的：anxious/uneasy ②感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型 1].

B Pedro Soto, a 56-year-old school teacher, had a sore throat, so he went to the doctor, believing he suffered from an infection by some virus. However, after his doctors did a blood test, they found it was type 2 diabetes (糖尿病). Medicine to get it under control was immediately recommended, but Soto was determined to try something different. Inspired by one of his co-workers whose husband ran the marathon, Soto applied to the TCS Marathon through an application specifically made for teachers. He had to share an article in which he spoke about his illness and was ultimately selected for the team. As he trained and developed a running habit, he received regular blood tests, and three months later, his blood sugar became normal. The marathon took place last November. Soto wasn’t able to consistently train until the beginning of August, because in June, he came down with Lyme disease (莱姆病). It was also during this time that Soto’s father passed away. Still, he used his runs as opportunities to release bad feelings and to build his strength back from being sick. “For me, it is amazing. It is like a block party, but the block party is the whole city,” he says. “During the race, you’re pounding for hours, the same joints, the same bones and muscles. Something’s beginning to feel pain, but the noise of the people out there, the music, the cheers... everything is louder than your pain.” Another thing that kept him moving forward was his students. Soto shares that his students are a motivating factor for him to recover his health. “If I’m sick and don’t feel good, that is going to affect my instruction in the classroom, my relationship with the students, and eventually my quality as a teacher! Teachers get burned out because sometimes they don’t balance their lives. This TCS Marathon was a great opportunity for me to balance my life.” 4. Why did Pedro Soto initially go to the doctor? A. To treat Lyme disease. B. To prepare for a marathon. C. To address a throat discomfort. D. To check his blood sugar levels. 5. How did running benefit Pedro Soto? A. It helped cure his Lyme disease. B. It allowed him to skip medication. C. It made him a professional marathon runner. D. It improved his physical condition noticeably. 6. What can be inferred about Pedro Soto’s character from paragraph 3? A. He is brave but refuses advice. B. He is tough and emotionally strong. C. He relies heavily on others’ support. D. He prioritizes work over personal health. 7. What does Pedro Soto imply about teaching in the last paragraph? A. Teachers had better avoid social activities. B. Health affects teaching quality significantly. C. Running is the main way to reduce pressure. D. Students motivate teachers to pursue their dreams. C A new island to support wildlife is being created in the UK. The National Trust, a conservation organization, recently sank three large boats into the Blackwater Estuary (河口) in Essex, England, to form the base of the island. Birds can rest there, and the structure will protect the area’s salt marsh (盐沼) habitats, where many plant and animal species live. An estuary is where a river widens and flows into the sea. The Blackwater Estuary is home to some of the UK’s most threatened seabirds. Experts hope the artificial island will be a safe place for these birds. To make the artificial island, the team cut holes in the bottom of the boats and poured mud into them to weigh them down. It took about 282,000 cubic feet of mud to fill and surround the boats — enough to fill more than three Olympic swimming pools. More mud will be piled on top, and then a layer of gravel (砾石) will be added. Once the work is complete, the island will be slightly larger than a football field. It will be a place for the birds to rest, even when the tide is at its highest and nearby shores are largely underwater. Along with creating a new home for birds, the team hopes the island will slow the erosion of the salt marsh inside the estuary. Erosion can happen when flooding and waves pull soil and rocks into the sea. The new island should act as a defense, sheltering the salt marsh from waves to protect the habitat. Katy Gilchrist, coastal project manager for the National Trust, said the program was a form of “marine recycling” because it transformed retired boats into a reserve for wildlife. “We’re basically turning history into habitat,” she added. “And as far as we know, no one has attempted anything quite like this before.” 8. Why is the new island being built? A. To serve as a scenic spot. B. To address waste management. C. To recycle old boats for fishing. D. To protect wildlife and its habitats. 9. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “three Olympic swimming pools”? A. The total area of the new island. B. The depth of the artificial island. C. The huge amount of mud needed. D. The number of boats used in the project. 10. What does the underlined word “erosion” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Influence of waves on bird habitats. B. The filling of soil and rocks into the sea. C. The formation of new land from mud and gravel. D. Gradual destruction of land by water and waves. 11. What can be inferred from Katy Gilchrist’s words in the last paragraph? A. The National Trust copied an old idea. B. Marine recycling is common in the UK. C. The project gives old boats a new natural use. D. The island will be for studying history and wildlife. D Soon, people with visual impairments might read regular books using a new audio device. Developed by MIT, this finger-worn device aims to give them affordable, immediate access to printed text. The FingerReader, a 3D printed trial model, fits like a ring. It is equipped with a small camera that scans text. Software tracks finger movements, identifies words, and processes the information. A machine voice reads aloud. It quickly translates books, menus, and other materials needed for daily living. “It’s like reading with the tip of your finger,” said Pattie Maes, an MIT professor who founded and led the research group developing the model. “It’s more flexible and immediate than any current solution,” she added. Developers faced unusual challenges in making the device. It uses vibration (震动) motors to warn users when they wander off the line of text, and audio signals to indicate the start and finish of the reading material. To accomplish this, developers spent three years coding software and experimenting with various designs. They also received feedback from people who are visually impaired. Much work remains before the FingerReader is ready for the market. It needs adjustments to work on cell phones. The device can read papers, books, and computer screens, but it struggles with touch screens — touching the screen with the fingertip shifts the text and produces unintended results. Jerry Berrier, aged 62, was born blind. He is attracted to the portability (便携) of the FingerReader. He sees promise in its offer of real-time use. “When I go to the doctor’s office, there may be forms that I read before I sign them,” Berrier said. “Everywhere we go, for folks who are sighted, there are things that inform us about the products we interact with. I want to be able to interact with those same products, regardless of how I have to do it.” “Any tool that gives better access to printed material helps us live fuller, richer, more productive lives,” Berrier added. 12. How does the FingerReader begin its reading process? A. By reading the text aloud with a machine voice. B. By scanning text with a small camera. C. By tracking the finger movements. D.

It was a warm morning in June; she was just settling into her new job as a manager’s assistant, still nervous about her probation period (试用期), and often felt a touch of homesickness in her small rented apartment near the workplace. Little did she know that a small decision she had made two years earlier would soon become a ray of hope for a stranger. Two years ago, while volunteering at a blood drive on her university campus, Eluned learned about stem cell (干细胞) donation. Curious and eager to help, she filled out a form agreeing to donate and provided a small sample from the inside of her cheek, joining the global donor pool without overthinking it. At the time, she merely thought it was a simple way to lend a hand, never expecting it to amount to anything more. She never imagined that her tissue matching profile would one day match a patient in desperate need — a 17-year-old boy named Roscoe suffering from a severe blood cancer. When the donor center informed her of the match, Eluned felt a mix of shock and hesitation. She worried about taking a long leave during probation, fearing she might lose her job, as she had worked hard to land the position. Her parents, who lived in Wales, were also concerned, urging her to reconsider it. But after learning that Roscoe had no matching relatives and her donation was his only chance, she made up her mind. Eluned planned to ask her boss, Mr Harlow, for a 10-day leave. She spent the night before anxiously practicing what to say, fearing that her request would be rejected. Yet she knew she couldn’t turn her back on the boy whose life depended on ber. Then, she went to Mr Harlow and spoke out her request for a 10-day leave. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Seeing Mr Harlow’s serious look, Eluned’s heart sank. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After Mr Harlow learned about the truth from Eluned, his words moved her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
