She says her smartphone is “sneaky” because things on the screen disappear and cannot be recovered. As a tech-savvy, gen Z24-year-old, I understand her arguments perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020. Back in 2010, when I was 11, the small number of kids in my year who had smartphones were treated like celebrities. Over time, smartphones became the norm. Despite this, I decided to stick with my brick phone. I became the odd one out. I couldn’t take pictures or play music or send funny videos, or use revision apps for my studies. People even openly comment on how strange it was. Yet, my Nokia had its virtues. I didn’t have to worry about theft; wherever I left it, it would always find its way back to me. The battery would last three days. Dropped, I could click the pieces back together. It granted a special freedom. Against all odds, I managed to get by like this for years. But by 2020 the world had changed so as to make life without a smartphone untenable. For instance, Systems required authentication (身份验证) apps just to access email, which alone makes smartphone ownership compulsory. Encouraged by my anxious mum, I finally caved and bought one. This shift is in line with research which shows a sharp decline in youth happiness from 2010 to 2020 — the decade the internet moved into our pockets. The problem isn’t necessarily any single app, but the constant presence of the digital world through the smartphone. Many might wish to disconnect, but society does not allow it; it’s now socially unacceptable not to have one. Even now, overwhelmed by the constant buzzing (嗡嗡声), I would love to go back. I’ve bought a secondhand Nokia. It’s still in its box, under my bed, ready for me to use it as soon as it becomes an option again. 4. Why does the author mention his grandmother in paragraph 1? A. To introduce his similar feelings. B. To highlight generational tech differences. C. To illustrate challenges of navigating new tech. D. To show his technical skills in helping the elderly. 5. What was the author’s main social experience as a Nokia phone user? A. He faced no particular social difficulties. B. He felt socially awkward and out of place. C. He enjoyed being the center of attention. D. He was often admired for his unique choice. 6. What does the underlined word “untenable” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Truly fun and enjoyable. B. Extremely difficult to adapt to. C. Highly modern and fashionable. D. Impossible to maintain or continue. 7. Which saying best reflects the author’s opinion? A. Modern tech is no use. B. Every coin has two sides. C. Good old days are hard to forget. D. Out with the old, in with the new. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者在 2010 至 2020 十年间坚持使用老式诺基亚手机、拒绝智能手机的独特经历。作者十分享受旧手机带来的简单与自由，虽因与众不同感到格格不入，却始终坚持；但随着社会发展，没有智能手机已无法正常生活，作者最终被迫更换。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“As a tech-savvy, gen Z24-year-old, I understand her arguments perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020.(作为一名精通科技、24岁的 Z 世代年轻人，我完全理解她的观点。而且我也选择在2010年至2020年这整整十年的时间里不使用智能手机)”可知，作者提及祖母是为了引出自己与祖母相似的感受，自然过渡到个人经历。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I became the odd one out.(我成了不合群的人)”可知，作为诺基亚手机用户，作者感到社交上尴尬和不自在。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“For instance, Systems required authentication ( 身份验证 ) apps just to access email, which alone makes smartphone ownership compulsory. Encouraged by my anxious mum, I finally caved and bought one.(例如，一些系统仅仅为了让人访问电子邮件就要求安装（使用）身份验证应用，这本身就使得拥有智能手机成为一种必然的选择。受到焦虑不安的母亲的鼓励，我最终还是屈服了，买了一部智能手机)”可知，到 2020 年，没有智能手机已经无法正常生活，因此untenable表示“难以维持、无法继续下去”。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。全文体现作者对过去使用诺基亚的无智能手机生活的怀念，以及对当下智能手机带来的困扰的抵触：第二段提及老款手机诺基亚的诸多优点和特殊的自由；第四段指出智能手机让青年幸福感大幅下降，数字世界的持续存在带来困扰；最后一段 “I would love to go back(我想回到过去)”、“买了二手诺基亚，放在床底等待再次使用的机会”，核心是怀念过去的美好时光；即，C选项“美好的往昔难以忘怀”最能体现作者的观点。故选C。 C For the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who’ve never heard of pickleball, the little-known paddleball game is one of America’s fastest-growing sports. Invented in 1965 by three middle-aged fathers in Washington state, pickleball is an odd cross among tennis, ping-pong and badminton, played with a paddle and a perforated (穿孔的) plastic ball. The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles. Most of pickleball’s core players — those who play more than eight times per year — are over age 65, but the game is getting younger, with the strongest growth among players under 55, according to USA Pickleball. But with so many new players, the US is struggling to keep up with the demand for courts. The country has only about 10,000 places to play, by USA Pickleball’s count, but that continues to grow by several dozen every month. Pickleball is also fast becoming a spectator sport (观赏性运动). Its first professional tournament, the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour, was formed in 2018 and the professional players are being able to really become celebrities and spotlights. Traditional broadcasters’ interest in the sport is growing. So far, pickleball fans can watch amateur and professional matches on sports or social channels, mostly online. “The ability for a sport to find an audience quickly via social media is unprecedented (前所未有的),” says Ben Shields, who lectures at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and studies the sports industry. Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw in wider audiences, as has been the key to success for other sports leagues — that also started with grassroots and unusual names. “I think if pickleball, in its own humble way, can continue to grow its participation and find ways to make the sport an appealing fan product, who knows, 10, or 20 years, it could be a big competitor in the global sports industry.” 8. What do we know about the pickleball game from the text? A. It was named after a dog. B. It was popular among young kids. C. It’s a cross between tennis and volleyball. D. It was invented by three ordinary women. 9. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The playing time. B. The form of matches. C. The number of courts. D. The participation rate. 10. Which best describes “a famous star” to pickleball according to Ben Shields? A. Humble. B. Inflexible. C. Harmful. D. Influential. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The History of Pickleball B. The Growing Popularity of Pickleball C. The Rise and Fall of Pickleball D. The Rules of Playing Pickleball 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。匹克球这项新兴运动在美国迅速兴起，文章对其进行了介绍。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.(据说该游戏的创始人是以家里一只名叫Pickles的狗的名字命名的。)”可知，匹克球比赛是以一只狗的名字命名的。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中的“The country has only about 10,000 places to play(这个国家只有大约一万个比赛场地)”可知，此处是指比赛场地的数量会继续增长，所以that是指比赛场地的数量。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw in wider audiences, as has been the key to success for other sports leagues — that also started with grassroots and unusual names.(希尔兹补充说，匹克球仍然需要一个著名的明星来吸引更多的观众，这是其他体育联盟成功的关键——这些联盟也是从草根和不寻常的名字开始的。)”可知，根据本·希尔兹的说法，“著名明星”对匹克球是很有影响力的。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who’ve never heard of pickleball, the little-known paddleball game is one of America’s fastest-growing sports.(对于那些从未听说过匹克球的美国人来说，这种鲜为人知的桨球运动是美国发展最快的运动之一。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项在美国快速兴起的运动——匹克球。故选B。 D Today’s teachers face a tough situation with generative AI. New tools are appearing rapidly, from personalized tutors for students to lesson planners and graders for teachers. Schools are traditionally slow to adapt to change, which makes such rapid-fire developments especially destabilizing. This AI wave hits when teachers are already struggling. They lack time and resources while facing high expectations for both academic results and students’ emotional growth. Many are exhausted and leaving the profession. This matters because teacher quality is the top factor in student success, especially for disadvantaged kids. How teachers use AI could decide whether it narrows or widens existing fairness gaps in education. Research on public school teachers shows mixed feelings about AI. Interviews with 22 teachers in a diverse U. S. school district reveal both hope and worry. Many appreciate AI as a “thought partner.” Creating lesson plans with AI saves time and reduces stress. One teacher noted it improved work-life balance and provided support when feeling isolated. However, not all teachers feel ready. A major problem is the lack of training and planning time. Learning a new tool takes effort, and many schools don’t offer enough professional support. Studies show that schools with fewer resources are less able to help teachers use new tech effectively. As a result, well-funded schools can better support their staff, which often makes educational inequalities worse. Teachers also emphasized that AI cannot replace the human connection in education. A machine can provide information, but many students still need teachers’ guidance, encouragement, and communication to truly learn. A good teacher does more than share knowledge; he or she builds relationships with students. All in all, teachers are crucial in determining how and whether AI, like all new technologies, is used to support their teaching and student learning. That’s why we believe the practices established during this current period of rapid AI development and adoption will profoundly influence whether this technology creates a fairer education system or makes existing differences even greater. 12. What does the underlined word “destabilizing” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Causing disorder and loss of balance. B. Making teaching more challenging now. C. Giving teachers extra work and pressure. D. Speeding up the process of school change. 13. What matters most to students’ success according to the text? A. Students’ effort. B. Teacher quality. C. School resources. D. Advanced AI tools. 14. What is the author’s main concern regarding the AI wave in education? A. It will eventually replace human teachers. B. It might weaken the teacher-student relationship. C. It reduces students’ emotional growth. D. It may widen existing educational inequalities. 15. What determines whether AI narrows the fairness gap? A. The financial support schools can offer. B. The speed of AI technology development. C. How teachers integrate AI into their work. D. The academic pressure students are facing. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了生成式人工智能在教育领域的快速发展对教师的冲击，及其可能加剧或缩小教育公平差距的影响。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“New tools are appearing rapidly, from personalized tutors for students to lesson planners and graders for teachers. Schools are traditionally slow to adapt to change, which makes such rapid-fire developments especially destabilizing.(新工具正在快速涌现，包括面向学生的个性化辅导工具，以及面向教师的备课工具和评分工具。学校传统上适应变化很慢，这使得这种快速的发展尤其destabilizing)”可知，学校适应变化慢，而AI工具却快速涌现，这种反差会打破原有的稳定状态。destabilizing，意为“使不稳定”，即造成混乱和失衡。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This matters because teacher quality is the top factor in student success, especially for disadvantaged kids.(这很重要，因为教师质量是学生成功的最关键因素，尤其是对弱势儿童而言)”可知，对学生的成功影响最大的是教师质量。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“How teachers use AI could decide whether it narrows or widens existing fairness gaps in education.(教师如何使用AI可能决定它是缩小还是扩大教育中现有的公平差距)”以及最后一段“That’s why we believe the practices established during this current period of rapid AI development and adoption will profoundly influence whether this technology creates a fairer education system or makes existing differences even greater.(这就是为什么我们认为，在当前人工智能快速发展和采用的时期建立的实践将深刻影响这项技术是创造一个更公平的教育体系，还是使现有的差异更大)”可知，作者主要关注AI浪潮可能会扩大现有的教育不平等。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“All in all, teachers are crucial in determining how and whether AI, like all new technologies, is used to support their teaching and student learning. That’s why we believe the practices established during this current period of rapid AI development and adoption will profoundly influence whether this technology creates a fairer education system or makes existing differences even greater.(总而言之，在决定如何以及是否使用人工智能这类新技术来辅助自身教学和学生学习的问题上，教师起着关键作用。这就是为什么我们认为，在当前人工智能快速发展和采用的时期建立的实践将深刻影响这项技术是创造一个更公平的教育体系，还是使现有的差异更大)”可知，决定AI能否缩小公平差距的关键在于教师如何将AI融入他们的工作。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As summer travel begins, many people are preparing for trips in places where temperatures may be unusually high. ____16____ It can lead to heat exhaustion and even heat stroke.

Leaves and broken branches covered the yard, and several flower pots had been knocked over. It was clear that a powerful hurricane had swept through the neighborhood while we were away. Then my younger sister, Lily, suddenly remembered the rabbits. Before leaving, we had carefully prepared everything for them. Their food box was filled with enough rabbit food, fresh hay was placed in their small wooden house, and clean water was ready in a large container. Dad had checked the roof and fence carefully, believing they would stay safe. We had also asked our neighbor Mrs. Green to look after them if necessary. Lily and I hurried to the corner of the garden where we had built a small wooden house for them before the vacation. We had spent several weekends working on it together. We painted it white and made it comfortable, believing it would be the perfect home for Bobby and Fluffy. However, when we reached the garden, we froze in disbelief. The lovely little house had completely collapsed. What remained was only a pile of broken boards and scattered pieces of wood. “Where are Bobby and Fluffy?” Lily whispered anxiously, eyes filled with tears. We searched everywhere, calling their names again and again. We looked behind bushes, under trees, and even inside the damaged bushes, but there was no sign of them. Just as we were about to lose hope, Mrs. Green walked over with a smile. “I’ve been waiting for you to come back,” she said. Seeing our worried faces, she explained, “The hurricane was much stronger than expected. When I noticed the rabbit house beginning to fall apart, I knew I had to act immediately.” She paused for a moment before continuing, “I hope you don’t mind, but I took Bobby and Fluffy to my garage before the wind became too dangerous.” Hearing that, Lily and I both let out a long sigh of relief. Mrs. Green smiled, turned around, and said, “Come with me.” 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。 Following Mrs. Green, we hurried toward her garage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, we started building a new house for the rabbits. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Following Mrs. Green, we hurried toward her garage. As soon as the door opened, we saw Bobby and Fluffy sitting peacefully in a warm corner, enjoying fresh food. They looked healthy and safe. My sister rushed over and gently picked one up with a big smile on her face. We thanked Mrs. Green again and again for helping us. She simply smiled and said that anyone would have done the same. Looking at the rabbits, we felt not only relieved but also deeply touched by her kindness. The next morning, we started building a new house for the rabbits. Instead of simply repairing the old house, we decided to build a stronger one. Soon our neighbors joined us. Some brought wood, while others offered tools and useful advice. Even the children helped paint the walls. A few days later, a beautiful new rabbit house stood in the garden. It was stronger, safer and more comfortable than before. Looking at the rabbits playing happily inside, I realized that kindness and teamwork can help people overcome any storm and create something even better. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一家人度假归来，发现飓风摧毁了自家兔子小屋，两只兔子不知所踪，姐妹二人焦急寻找，最终邻居格林太太告知早已将兔子转移到自家车库妥善照顾，化解危机的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者和妹妹见到安然无恙的兔子的场景，以及二人对格林太太的感激、内心的感动与释然。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写众人齐心协力搭建更坚固的兔子小屋的过程，以及作者从中收获的感悟。 2.续写线索：见到兔子——心怀感激——开始建新兔房——邻里相助——建成新兔房——收获感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/spot ②修建：build/construct ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①宽慰的：relieved/soothed ②感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] As soon as the door opened, we saw Bobby and Fluffy sitting peacefully in a warm corner, enjoying fresh food.

She says her smartphone is “sneaky” because things on the screen disappear and cannot be recovered. As a tech-savvy, gen Z24-year-old, I understand her arguments perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020. Back in 2010, when I was 11, the small number of kids in my year who had smartphones were treated like celebrities. Over time, smartphones became the norm. Despite this, I decided to stick with my brick phone. I became the odd one out. I couldn’t take pictures or play music or send funny videos, or use revision apps for my studies. People even openly comment on how strange it was. Yet, my Nokia had its virtues. I didn’t have to worry about theft; wherever I left it, it would always find its way back to me. The battery would last three days. Dropped, I could click the pieces back together. It granted a special freedom. Against all odds, I managed to get by like this for years. But by 2020 the world had changed so as to make life without a smartphone untenable. For instance, Systems required authentication (身份验证) apps just to access email, which alone makes smartphone ownership compulsory. Encouraged by my anxious mum, I finally caved and bought one. This shift is in line with research which shows a sharp decline in youth happiness from 2010 to 2020 — the decade the internet moved into our pockets. The problem isn’t necessarily any single app, but the constant presence of the digital world through the smartphone. Many might wish to disconnect, but society does not allow it; it’s now socially unacceptable not to have one. Even now, overwhelmed by the constant buzzing (嗡嗡声), I would love to go back. I’ve bought a secondhand Nokia. It’s still in its box, under my bed, ready for me to use it as soon as it becomes an option again. 4. Why does the author mention his grandmother in paragraph 1? A.

He enjoyed being the center of attention. D. He was often admired for his unique choice. 6. What does the underlined word “untenable” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Truly fun and enjoyable. B.

Every coin has two sides. C. Good old days are hard to forget. D. Out with the old, in with the new. C For the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who’ve never heard of pickleball, the little-known paddleball game is one of America’s fastest-growing sports. Invented in 1965 by three middle-aged fathers in Washington state, pickleball is an odd cross among tennis, ping-pong and badminton, played with a paddle and a perforated (穿孔的) plastic ball. The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles. Most of pickleball’s core players — those who play more than eight times per year — are over age 65, but the game is getting younger, with the strongest growth among players under 55, according to USA Pickleball. But with so many new players, the US is struggling to keep up with the demand for courts. The country has only about 10,000 places to play, by USA Pickleball’s count, but that continues to grow by several dozen every month. Pickleball is also fast becoming a spectator sport (观赏性运动). Its first professional tournament, the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour, was formed in 2018 and the professional players are being able to really become celebrities and spotlights. Traditional broadcasters’ interest in the sport is growing. So far, pickleball fans can watch amateur and professional matches on sports or social channels, mostly online. “The ability for a sport to find an audience quickly via social media is unprecedented (前所未有的),” says Ben Shields, who lectures at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and studies the sports industry. Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw in wider audiences, as has been the key to success for other sports leagues — that also started with grassroots and unusual names. “I think if pickleball, in its own humble way, can continue to grow its participation and find ways to make the sport an appealing fan product, who knows, 10, or 20 years, it could be a big competitor in the global sports industry.” 8. What do we know about the pickleball game from the text? A. It was named after a dog. B. It was popular among young kids. C. It’s a cross between tennis and volleyball. D. It was invented by three ordinary women. 9. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The playing time. B. The form of matches. C. The number of courts. D. The participation rate. 10. Which best describes “a famous star” to pickleball according to Ben Shields? A. Humble. B. Inflexible. C. Harmful. D. Influential. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The History of Pickleball B. The Growing Popularity of Pickleball C. The Rise and Fall of Pickleball D. The Rules of Playing Pickleball D Today’s teachers face a tough situation with generative AI. New tools are appearing rapidly, from personalized tutors for students to lesson planners and graders for teachers. Schools are traditionally slow to adapt to change, which makes such rapid-fire developments especially destabilizing. This AI wave hits when teachers are already struggling. They lack time and resources while facing high expectations for both academic results and students’ emotional growth. Many are exhausted and leaving the profession. This matters because teacher quality is the top factor in student success, especially for disadvantaged kids. How teachers use AI could decide whether it narrows or widens existing fairness gaps in education. Research on public school teachers shows mixed feelings about AI. Interviews with 22 teachers in a diverse U. S. school district reveal both hope and worry. Many appreciate AI as a “thought partner.” Creating lesson plans with AI saves time and reduces stress. One teacher noted it improved work-life balance and provided support when feeling isolated. However, not all teachers feel ready. A major problem is the lack of training and planning time. Learning a new tool takes effort, and many schools don’t offer enough professional support. Studies show that schools with fewer resources are less able to help teachers use new tech effectively. As a result, well-funded schools can better support their staff, which often makes educational inequalities worse. Teachers also emphasized that AI cannot replace the human connection in education. A machine can provide information, but many students still need teachers’ guidance, encouragement, and communication to truly learn. A good teacher does more than share knowledge; he or she builds relationships with students. All in all, teachers are crucial in determining how and whether AI, like all new technologies, is used to support their teaching and student learning. That’s why we believe the practices established during this current period of rapid AI development and adoption will profoundly influence whether this technology creates a fairer education system or makes existing differences even greater. 12. What does the underlined word “destabilizing” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Causing disorder and loss of balance. B. Making teaching more challenging now. C. Giving teachers extra work and pressure. D. Speeding up the process of school change. 13. What matters most to students’ success according to the text? A. Students’ effort. B. Teacher quality. C. School resources. D. Advanced AI tools. 14. What is the author’s main concern regarding the AI wave in education? A. It will eventually replace human teachers. B. It might weaken the teacher-student relationship. C. It reduces students’ emotional growth. D. It may widen existing educational inequalities. 15. What determines whether AI narrows the fairness gap? A. The financial support schools can offer. B. The speed of AI technology development. C. How teachers integrate AI into their work. D. The academic pressure students are facing. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As summer travel begins, many people are preparing for trips in places where temperatures may be unusually high. ____16____ It can lead to heat exhaustion and even heat stroke.

Leaves and broken branches covered the yard, and several flower pots had been knocked over. It was clear that a powerful hurricane had swept through the neighborhood while we were away. Then my younger sister, Lily, suddenly remembered the rabbits. Before leaving, we had carefully prepared everything for them. Their food box was filled with enough rabbit food, fresh hay was placed in their small wooden house, and clean water was ready in a large container. Dad had checked the roof and fence carefully, believing they would stay safe. We had also asked our neighbor Mrs. Green to look after them if necessary. Lily and I hurried to the corner of the garden where we had built a small wooden house for them before the vacation. We had spent several weekends working on it together. We painted it white and made it comfortable, believing it would be the perfect home for Bobby and Fluffy. However, when we reached the garden, we froze in disbelief. The lovely little house had completely collapsed. What remained was only a pile of broken boards and scattered pieces of wood. “Where are Bobby and Fluffy?” Lily whispered anxiously, eyes filled with tears. We searched everywhere, calling their names again and again. We looked behind bushes, under trees, and even inside the damaged bushes, but there was no sign of them. Just as we were about to lose hope, Mrs. Green walked over with a smile. “I’ve been waiting for you to come back,” she said. Seeing our worried faces, she explained, “The hurricane was much stronger than expected. When I noticed the rabbit house beginning to fall apart, I knew I had to act immediately.” She paused for a moment before continuing, “I hope you don’t mind, but I took Bobby and Fluffy to my garage before the wind became too dangerous.” Hearing that, Lily and I both let out a long sigh of relief. Mrs. Green smiled, turned around, and said, “Come with me.” 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。 Following Mrs. Green, we hurried toward her garage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, we started building a new house for the rabbits. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
