When I was a teenager, I dreamed of escaping my small hometown, Willowbrook, for a place with bright lights and big dreams. The town sat quietly in the valley, surrounded by the same rolling hills I had seen a thousand times. I thought the world there was too small for me.
So at eighteen, I left. I moved to the capital city, where I found a job in a small company and rented a tiny room in an old building. Life in the city was fast and noisy. There were always new faces, new places, and new things to try. I felt like I was finally living.
But city life came with a price. The rent kept rising, the streets were always crowded, and even when I was surrounded by people, I often felt alone. I worked long hours, and on weekends I was too tired to go out. Slowly, the excitement of the city began to fade. I missed the sound of the wind through the trees near my old home.
One autumn, I returned to Willowbrook to attend a friend’s wedding. As I walked down the familiar road, I noticed the old maple tree was still there, its leaves turning golden. A gentle breeze carried the smell of fresh earth, and for the first time in years, I felt truly at peace. I realized that the town had not changed as much as I had feared. New houses had been built, and a small bookstore had opened, but the warmth of the people and the quiet beauty of nature were just as I remembered.
During the wedding, an old neighbor smiled at me and said, “We always knew you would come back. This town has a way of holding on to its people.” I laughed, but her words stayed in my heart. I thought about how I had once been eager to leave, and how the city had given me a career but taken away my sense of belonging.
The next morning, I packed my bags for the city, but something inside me had changed. I no longer thought of Willowbrook as a place to escape from. It had become the place I would always return to, a quiet harbor in a noisy world.
4. Why did the author want to leave Willowbrook when young?
A. It lacked job opportunities.
B. It felt too small for his dreams.
C. It had poor transportation.
D. It was far from his school.
5. What does the underlined word “price” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Cost. B. Value. C. Ticket. D. Chance.
6. How did the author feel on his return to Willowbrook?
A. Disappointed by the changes.
B. Surprised by its peaceful beauty.
C. Worried about the old neighbor.
D. Uncertain about his future.
7. What is the author’s main message in the text?
A. Big cities offer the best careers.
B. A hometown’s value lasts forever.
C. Small towns cannot keep young people.
D. Friendships fade with time and distance.
C
What if a robot could feel the warmth of a hand or sense the softness of a feather? This idea is no longer just a dream. In laboratories around the world, scientists are developing a remarkable new material called electronic skin, or e-skin. This thin, flexible layer can sense touch, temperature, and even humidity, just like human skin.
Traditional robots rely on rigid sensors (传感器) that are often heavy and easily damaged. E-skin, however, is made of soft, stretchy materials mixed with tiny electronic components. These components can detect changes in pressure, heat, and moisture, and then send the information to a computer. With e-skin, a robot hand can gently hold a raw egg without breaking it, or carefully touch a hot surface and react quickly.
One of the most exciting uses of e-skin is in medical care. Researchers have designed gloves covered with e-skin that can measure a patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature in real time. Doctors can use these gloves to monitor patients without any bulky equipment. For people with disabilities, e-skin can be used in prosthetic arms (假肢) to give them a sense of touch that they have never had before.
Beyond healthcare, e-skin is also being used in sports and entertainment. Athletes can wear tight suits with e-skin sensors to track their movements and improve their performance. In video games, players can use e-skin controllers to feel the actions in the game, such as the weight of a sword or the heat of a virtual fire.
Of course, there are still challenges. E-skin is expensive to produce, and it can wear out after repeated use. Scientists are working on making it more durable (耐用的) and affordable. “E-skin is like giving machines a sense of feeling,” said Dr. Maria Chen, a leading researcher. “In the future, robots and humans may interact (互动) in ways we can only imagine today.”
8. What is electronic skin mainly used for?
A. Making robots look more human.
B. Helping machines sense touch and other changes.
C. Replacing traditional electronic devices.
D. Producing cheaper medical tools.
9. How is e-skin different from traditional robot sensors?
A. It is made of metal.
B. It is more rigid and heavy.
C. It is soft and flexible.
D. It works only in dry conditions.
10. What can e-skin gloves do in medical care?
A. Perform surgery on patients.
B. Replace the work of doctors.
C. Monitor several health signs at once.
D. Send medicine into the body.
11. What does Dr. Maria Chen think of e-skin?
A. It is still far from perfect.
B. It will replace human skin one day.
C. It will change how humans and machines interact.
D. It is too expensive for common use.
D
Crows are often seen as black, noisy birds that steal food. However, recent research has shown that these clever animals are far more intelligent than we once thought. In a study published last year, scientists discovered that crows can use tools in a planned way, not just by accident.
In the experiment, researchers placed a small piece of meat inside a clear plastic tube that was too narrow for a crow’s beak. To get the food, the crow had to use a stick to push the meat out from the other end. Most of the crows succeeded on their first try, and they became even faster with practice.
Even more surprisingly, when the scientists made the task harder, the crows came up with new solutions on their own. For example, if the stick was too short, some crows used a combination of two short sticks to reach the food. This kind of problem-solving is called “causal reasoning” (因果推理), and it is something that scientists used to believe only humans and a few other animals could do.
What is even more interesting is that crows seem to remember faces. In another study, researchers wore special masks while capturing crows for a scientific test. Years later, they walked around the area wearing the same masks. The crows that had been captured before attacked them, while other crows, which had never been caught, ignored them. This showed that crows can not only recognize human faces but also remember them for a long time.
So next time you see a crow, do not just think of it as a common bird. Behind those dark eyes is a mind that can plan, solve problems, and remember the past. Crows may be small, but they are among the smartest animals on Earth.
12. What did the first experiment show about crows?
A. They like eating meat.
B. They can use tools on purpose.
C. They are afraid of plastic tubes.
D. They prefer sticks to other objects.
13. What does “causal reasoning” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Solving problems by remembering past events.
B. Understanding cause and effect in a task.
C. Learning from other animals’ behavior.
D. Following the example of scientists.
14. How did the scientists know crows could remember faces?
A. Crows attacked people wearing the masks again.
B. Crows flew away from the masked people.
C. Crows copied the researchers’ actions.
D. Crows made special sounds near the masks.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Crows: The Most Beautiful Birds
B. Why Crows Are Becoming Endangered
C. The Hidden Intelligence of Crows
D. How Crows Communicate with Humans
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。
Many students find it hard to concentrate when studying. They open their books, but their minds soon wander to phones, music, or even the weather outside. In today’s world of constant distraction (干扰), building deep focus has become an important skill for learners. Here are some practical ways to train your mind and study more effectively.
First, create a study space that is free from distractions. ____16____ This small change tells your brain that it is time to work, and it can greatly improve your ability to concentrate.
Second, set clear goals for each study session. ____17____ For example, instead of telling yourself to “study math,” set a goal like “finish ten algebra problems in 30 minutes.” Clear goals make it easier to stay on track and measure your progress.
Third, take regular breaks. ____18____ A popular method is the “25-minute rule”: study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. This helps your brain rest and keeps you from feeling tired too quickly.
____19____ Many students believe that studying longer means learning better, but in fact, the brain needs time to organize new information. Short, focused study sessions over several days are usually more effective than one long, sleepless night.
Finally, stay healthy. ____20____ A balanced diet, enough sleep, and regular exercise all play an important role in how well your brain works. Remember, a healthy body supports a healthy mind.
A. Try to study in a quiet room with your phone put away.
B. Good study habits also depend on your physical health.
C. Don’t try to learn everything in one long study session.
D. Studying with friends can sometimes help you focus better.
E. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated.
F. Some students find that listening to music helps them study.
G. Our brains cannot focus for hours without short periods of rest.

The mountain road was steep, but I kept climbing. My legs burned, and my breath grew shorter, yet I refused to stop.

Lily, who usually complained about doing housework at home, picked up a broom and started ____29____ without being asked. I was surprised to see her so ____30____ and helpful.
That evening, we sat around a fire with the villagers. An old man told stories about the mountains, and Lily listened quietly, ____31____ her eyes. When we finally lay down in the small guest room, she turned to me and said, “I didn’t know life could be this ____32____. I want to come back next year.”
As I looked at the stars outside the window, I ____33____ what I had gained from this trip. It was not a fancy vacation or a new phone. It was the ____34____ of giving, the warmth of strangers, and the simple joy of working ____35____. I fell asleep with a smile on my face, knowing that I had grown a little that day.

The old wooden house at the end of Maple Street had been empty for years. When my family moved in last autumn, I was not happy at all. The walls were full of cracks, the windows creaked in the wind, and the garden was covered with wild grass. I missed our bright apartment in the city.
On my first day at the new school, I kept my head down and hoped no one would notice me. At lunch, I sat alone at a corner table, eating my sandwich in silence. Just then, a girl with a bright smile sat down opposite me. “Hi! I’m Nora. You’re the new girl, right? Want to try some of my grandma’s cookies? She just baked them this morning.”
I shook my head. “No, thanks.” Nora did not look hurt. She simply put a cookie on my tray and said, “Trust me, you’ll love them. Everyone in town loves Grandma’s cookies.” Then she stood up and left, waving goodbye.
After school, I walked back to the old house, still feeling lonely. Mom was in the garden, trying to pull out the wild grass. Dad was inside, repairing a broken shelf. I picked up a small shovel and started to help quietly. Suddenly, an old woman appeared at the gate. She had a warm face and held a basket of fresh vegetables in her arms. “Hello, dear. I’m Nora’s grandma. Welcome to the neighborhood,” she said with a gentle smile.

When I was a teenager, I dreamed of escaping my small hometown, Willowbrook, for a place with bright lights and big dreams. The town sat quietly in the valley, surrounded by the same rolling hills I had seen a thousand times. I thought the world there was too small for me.
So at eighteen, I left. I moved to the capital city, where I found a job in a small company and rented a tiny room in an old building. Life in the city was fast and noisy. There were always new faces, new places, and new things to try. I felt like I was finally living.
But city life came with a price. The rent kept rising, the streets were always crowded, and even when I was surrounded by people, I often felt alone. I worked long hours, and on weekends I was too tired to go out. Slowly, the excitement of the city began to fade. I missed the sound of the wind through the trees near my old home.
One autumn, I returned to Willowbrook to attend a friend’s wedding. As I walked down the familiar road, I noticed the old maple tree was still there, its leaves turning golden. A gentle breeze carried the smell of fresh earth, and for the first time in years, I felt truly at peace. I realized that the town had not changed as much as I had feared. New houses had been built, and a small bookstore had opened, but the warmth of the people and the quiet beauty of nature were just as I remembered.
During the wedding, an old neighbor smiled at me and said, “We always knew you would come back. This town has a way of holding on to its people.” I laughed, but her words stayed in my heart. I thought about how I had once been eager to leave, and how the city had given me a career but taken away my sense of belonging.
The next morning, I packed my bags for the city, but something inside me had changed. I no longer thought of Willowbrook as a place to escape from. It had become the place I would always return to, a quiet harbor in a noisy world.
4. Why did the author want to leave Willowbrook when young?
A. It lacked job opportunities.
B. It felt too small for his dreams.
C. It had poor transportation.
D. It was far from his school.
5. What does the underlined word “price” in paragraph 3 mean?

What if a robot could feel the warmth of a hand or sense the softness of a feather? This idea is no longer just a dream. In laboratories around the world, scientists are developing a remarkable new material called electronic skin, or e-skin. This thin, flexible layer can sense touch, temperature, and even humidity, just like human skin.
Traditional robots rely on rigid sensors (传感器) that are often heavy and easily damaged. E-skin, however, is made of soft, stretchy materials mixed with tiny electronic components. These components can detect changes in pressure, heat, and moisture, and then send the information to a computer. With e-skin, a robot hand can gently hold a raw egg without breaking it, or carefully touch a hot surface and react quickly.
One of the most exciting uses of e-skin is in medical care. Researchers have designed gloves covered with e-skin that can measure a patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature in real time. Doctors can use these gloves to monitor patients without any bulky equipment. For people with disabilities, e-skin can be used in prosthetic arms (假肢) to give them a sense of touch that they have never had before.
Beyond healthcare, e-skin is also being used in sports and entertainment. Athletes can wear tight suits with e-skin sensors to track their movements and improve their performance. In video games, players can use e-skin controllers to feel the actions in the game, such as the weight of a sword or the heat of a virtual fire.
Of course, there are still challenges. E-skin is expensive to produce, and it can wear out after repeated use. Scientists are working on making it more durable (耐用的) and affordable. “E-skin is like giving machines a sense of feeling,” said Dr. Maria Chen, a leading researcher. “In the future, robots and humans may interact (互动) in ways we can only imagine today.”
8. What is electronic skin mainly used for?
A. Making robots look more human.
B. Helping machines sense touch and other changes.
C. Replacing traditional electronic devices.
D. Producing cheaper medical tools.
9. How is e-skin different from traditional robot sensors?
A. It is made of metal.
B. It is more rigid and heavy.
C. It is soft and flexible.
D. It works only in dry conditions.
10. What can e-skin gloves do in medical care?
A. Perform surgery on patients.
B. Replace the work of doctors.
C. Monitor several health signs at once.
D. Send medicine into the body.
11. What does Dr. Maria Chen think of e-skin?
A. It is still far from perfect.
B. It will replace human skin one day.
C. It will change how humans and machines interact.
D. It is too expensive for common use.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. C
【解析】

Crows are often seen as black, noisy birds that steal food. However, recent research has shown that these clever animals are far more intelligent than we once thought. In a study published last year, scientists discovered that crows can use tools in a planned way, not just by accident.
In the experiment, researchers placed a small piece of meat inside a clear plastic tube that was too narrow for a crow’s beak. To get the food, the crow had to use a stick to push the meat out from the other end. Most of the crows succeeded on their first try, and they became even faster with practice.
Even more surprisingly, when the scientists made the task harder, the crows came up with new solutions on their own. For example, if the stick was too short, some crows used a combination of two short sticks to reach the food. This kind of problem-solving is called “causal reasoning” (因果推理), and it is something that scientists used to believe only humans and a few other animals could do.
What is even more interesting is that crows seem to remember faces. In another study, researchers wore special masks while capturing crows for a scientific test. Years later, they walked around the area wearing the same masks. The crows that had been captured before attacked them, while other crows, which had never been caught, ignored them. This showed that crows can not only recognize human faces but also remember them for a long time.
So next time you see a crow, do not just think of it as a common bird. Behind those dark eyes is a mind that can plan, solve problems, and remember the past. Crows may be small, but they are among the smartest animals on Earth.
12. What did the first experiment show about crows?
A. They like eating meat.
B. They can use tools on purpose.
C. They are afraid of plastic tubes.
D. They prefer sticks to other objects.
13. What does “causal reasoning” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Solving problems by remembering past events.
B. Understanding cause and effect in a task.
C. Learning from other animals’ behavior.
D. Following the example of scientists.
14. How did the scientists know crows could remember faces?
A. Crows attacked people wearing the masks again.
B. Crows flew away from the masked people.
C. Crows copied the researchers’ actions.
D. Crows made special sounds near the masks.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Crows: The Most Beautiful Birds
B. Why Crows Are Becoming Endangered
C. The Hidden Intelligence of Crows
D. How Crows Communicate with Humans
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍多项科学实验证明乌鸦具备使用工具、逻辑推理、识别人脸并长期记忆的超高智力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the experiment, researchers placed a small piece of meat inside a clear plastic tube that was too narrow for a crow’s beak. To get the food, the crow had to use a stick to push the meat out from the other end. Most of the crows succeeded on their first try, and they became even faster with practice.(在这个实验中,研究人员把一小块肉放进一根透明塑料管里,这根管子对于乌鸦的喙来说过于狭窄。为了拿到食物,这只乌鸦必须用一根棍子从另一端把肉推出来。大多数乌鸦第一次尝试就成功了,并且经过练习后它们的动作变得更快。)”可知,第一个实验证明乌鸦可以有目的地使用工具。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“For example, if the stick was too short, some crows used a combination of two short sticks to reach the food. This kind of problem-solving is called “causal reasoning” (因果推理)(举例来说,如果树枝太短,部分乌鸦会把两根短树枝拼接起来去够食物。这种解决问题的方式被称作“causal reasoning”)”可知,乌鸦能理清工具长度与获取食物之间的逻辑关系,理解任务中的因果联系,因此该短语意为“理解任务里的因果关系”,与B选项意义相近。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Years later, they walked around the area wearing the same masks. The crows that had been captured before attacked them, while other crows, which had never been caught, ignored them.(多年之后,研究人员戴着同款面具在这片区域走动。之前被捕捉过的乌鸦会攻击他们,而从未被捕捉过的其他乌鸦则对他们置之不理。)”可知,科学家再次戴上旧面具时遭到乌鸦攻击,由此证实乌鸦能够记住人脸。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“So next time you see a crow, do not just think of it as a common bird. Behind those dark eyes is a mind that can plan, solve problems, and remember the past. Crows may be small, but they are among the smartest animals on Earth.(所以下次你见到乌鸦时,别只把它当成普通鸟类。在那双乌黑的眼睛背后,藏着一颗能够规划、解决问题、铭记过往的大脑。乌鸦体型虽小,却是地球上最聪明的动物之一。)”可知,文章通过多个实验揭露乌鸦不为人知的超高智商,所以“The Hidden Intelligence of Crows(乌鸦暗藏的智慧)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。

Many students find it hard to concentrate when studying. They open their books, but their minds soon wander to phones, music, or even the weather outside. In today’s world of constant distraction (干扰), building deep focus has become an important skill for learners. Here are some practical ways to train your mind and study more effectively.
First, create a study space that is free from distractions. ____16____ This small change tells your brain that it is time to work, and it can greatly improve your ability to concentrate.
Second, set clear goals for each study session. ____17____ For example, instead of telling yourself to “study math,” set a goal like “finish ten algebra problems in 30 minutes.” Clear goals make it easier to stay on track and measure your progress.
Third, take regular breaks. ____18____ A popular method is the “25-minute rule”: study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. This helps your brain rest and keeps you from feeling tired too quickly.
____19____ Many students believe that studying longer means learning better, but in fact, the brain needs time to organize new information. Short, focused study sessions over several days are usually more effective than one long, sleepless night.
Finally, stay healthy. ____20____ A balanced diet, enough sleep, and regular exercise all play an important role in how well your brain works. Remember, a healthy body supports a healthy mind.
A. Try to study in a quiet room with your phone put away.
B. Good study habits also depend on your physical health.
C. Don’t try to learn everything in one long study session.

【解析】
【导语】主要介绍中国传统历法二十四节气的划分依据、古今用途、文化价值以及其入选联合国非物质文化遗产的意义。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该体系被划分为二十四个阶段,全年跟随太阳位置的变化而运转。此处为非谓语动词作状语,divide与逻辑主语the system之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词divided,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:每个节气反映天气、自然变化以及适宜当下时节的活动。此处修饰名词changes,需要形容词作定语,nature对应的形容词为natural,意为“自然的”。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在古代,人们高度依赖这些节气来安排农事,知晓何时播种、收割和养护庄稼。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语In ancient times可知,动作发生在过去,要用一般过去时,所以谓语动词为relied。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在古代,人们高度依赖这些节气来安排农事,知晓何时播种、收割和养护庄稼。此处为非谓语动词作状语,know与逻辑主语people之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词knowing。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:例如,惊蛰标志着昆虫从冬眠中苏醒的时刻,这是农民整理田地的关键时节。此空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词指代前文整件事,从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词which。
【41题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:如今,二十四节气仍然被许多人应用在日常生活中。此处为谓语动词,主语the 24 Solar Terms与use之间为被动关系,根据时间状语“Today”可知句子陈述当前客观事实,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数,所以谓语动词为are used。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在城市里,人们立春吃春卷,而在乡村,农民根据小暑和大暑打理田地。此处为谓语动词,句子陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语farmers是复数,所以谓语动词为check。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:2016年,二十四节气被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语In 2016可知用一般过去时,主语the 24 Solar Terms与add之间为被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为复数,所以谓语动词为were added。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2016年,二十四节气被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录,使其成为全世界共享的财富。此处为非谓语动词作结果状语,make与前文整件事之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词making作状语。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这套体系不仅是时间的记录,也是科学、文化与哲学的美好融合。此处修饰名词blend,需要形容词作定语,beauty的形容词为beautiful,意为“美好的”。

Thank you!
【答案】例文
Good morning, everyone,
Today I would like to share my thoughts on the theme “Small steps, big changes.”
This saying reminds us that great changes rarely come from one big action. When we keep going, those steps join together and create something far bigger than we expected.
Last year, I could not run more than 200 meters without stopping. I did not set a big goal like running a marathon. Instead, I told myself to just run for 10 minutes a day. After weeks of sticking to this small plan, I was able to run five kilometers easily. My small daily step had changed me.
In short, small steps really do lead to big changes. Let’s start today.
Thank you!

第二节 读后续写(25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The old wooden house at the end of Maple Street had been empty for years. When my family moved in last autumn, I was not happy at all. The walls were full of cracks, the windows creaked in the wind, and the garden was covered with wild grass. I missed our bright apartment in the city.
On my first day at the new school, I kept my head down and hoped no one would notice me. At lunch, I sat alone at a corner table, eating my sandwich in silence. Just then, a girl with a bright smile sat down opposite me. “Hi! I’m Nora. You’re the new girl, right? Want to try some of my grandma’s cookies? She just baked them this morning.”
I shook my head. “No, thanks.” Nora did not look hurt. She simply put a cookie on my tray and said, “Trust me, you’ll love them. Everyone in town loves Grandma’s cookies.” Then she stood up and left, waving goodbye.
After school, I walked back to the old house, still feeling lonely. Mom was in the garden, trying to pull out the wild grass. Dad was inside, repairing a broken shelf. I picked up a small shovel and started to help quietly. Suddenly, an old woman appeared at the gate. She had a warm face and held a basket of fresh vegetables in her arms. “Hello, dear. I’m Nora’s grandma. Welcome to the neighborhood,” she said with a gentle smile.
注意:

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Paragraph 1:
Over the following days, Nora’s grandma became a frequent visitor. She would drop by with warm cookies, fresh milk, or just a kind smile. One afternoon, she noticed the cracks in our walls and came back the next day with her son, who was a carpenter. Within a week, the cracks were filled and the windows no longer creaked in the wind. Nora also came by often, and we soon became best friends. She showed me around the small town, introduced me to other kids, and taught me how to climb the old maple tree at the end of the street. Slowly, the cold, empty house began to feel like a real home.
Paragraph 2:
Months later, our old wooden house had changed into the warmest place on the street. Mom had turned the wild garden into a small vegetable patch full of tomatoes and sunflowers. Dad built new shelves for the living room, and I helped paint the walls a soft yellow. Nora and I set up a little library in the corner, where neighbors came to read and share stories in delight. Nora’s grandma often brought us homemade soup, and we always saved a chair for her. Looking at the old house now, with its fresh paint and the sound of laughter inside, I finally understood: a house becomes a home not because of how it looks, but because of the people who fill it with love.
