For years, I could never fully understand why so many people failed to practice this simple rule. It seemed easy enough to imagine others’ situations before passing judgment, until a small family incident forced me to reflect deeply on my own blind spots. Last Tuesday evening, I lost my temper over my 14-year-old son Leo. His teachers had sent me three warning messages that week: he frequently handed in unfinished homework and arrived late for morning classes almost every day. I blamed him sharply for being lazy and lacking self-discipline, without giving him a single chance to explain. Instead of shouting back, Leo lowered his head and spoke in a soft, tired voice. Our home lies more than 25 kilometers away from his school. The bus ride alone takes one hour each way. The bumpy, noisy bus leaves no quiet space for him to focus on schoolwork. By the time he gets home after rush-hour traffic, it is already dark, and he is too exhausted to finish heavy assignments quickly. His words struck me silent all at once. I suddenly realized I had only focused on his bad performance, totally ignoring the tough struggles hidden behind his mistakes. This conversation brought me a clear insight: everyone can recite a great many wise truths, yet putting them into real action is surprisingly hard. I have long told my family and friends to stay considerate, but whenever I am seized by negative emotions, I instinctively jump to blame others. I fix my eyes on visible results rather than digging out unseen difficulties others are going through. The theory of empathy sounds simple, but self-control against sudden anger is the biggest barrier standing in our way. I have gradually formed two small habits to avoid prejudiced judgment. Before blaming anyone, I will consciously picture myself standing in their position and feel their pressure firsthand. Besides, I force myself to pause for fifteen full seconds before saying any critical words. That short pause can calm my sudden anger, break my fixed prejudice, and leave space for real understanding between people. 4. Why does the author talk about the value of empathy at the very beginning? A. To lead in the following personal story. B. To create an unexpected sharp contrast. C. To provide related supporting statistics. D. To prove a viewpoint with opposite examples. 5. What was Leo’s attitude when faced with the author’s blame? A. Annoyed and defensive. B. Calm and wronged. C. Confused and doubtful. D. Unconcerned and careless. 6. What is the greatest difficulty in practicing empathy? A. Lacking enough life experience. B. Being controlled by sudden bad emotions. C. Having too many things to do. D. Failing to remember valuable life lessons. 7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Practical methods to avoid biased judgment. B. Hidden harm of drawing quick conclusions. C. The importance of patient communication with teenagers. D. Long-term benefits of keeping silent when annoyed. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者通过发生在自己家里的一件小事，感悟到换位思考的重要性，并介绍了自己养成的两个避免带有偏见去评判他人的小习惯。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Putting ourselves in others’ shoes is the most basic quality of a decent person.(换位思考是一个正直的人最基本的品质。)”以及“It seemed easy enough to imagine others’ situations before passing judgment, until a small family incident forced me to reflect deeply on my own blind spots.(在作出评判之前设想别人的处境，这件事似乎本该十分容易，直到家里发生的一件小事，迫使我深刻反思自己身上存在的认知盲区。)”可知，作者开篇提到换位思考的价值是为了引出下文的个人故事。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Instead of shouting back, Leo lowered his head and spoke in a soft, tired voice. Our home lies more than 25 kilometers away from his school. The bus ride alone takes one hour each way. The bumpy, noisy bus leaves no quiet space for him to focus on schoolwork. By the time he gets home after rush‑hour traffic, it is already dark, and he is too exhausted to finish heavy assignments quickly.(Leo没有回嘴，低下头，用轻柔疲惫的声音说话。他家距离学校25公里多，单程坐公交就要一小时。颠簸嘈杂的公交车让他没有安静的空间写作业。晚高峰到家天已经黑了，他筋疲力尽，没法快速完成繁重的作业。)”可知，面对指责，Leo没有顶嘴发火，冷静地诉说自己现实处境，内心满是委屈。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The theory of empathy sounds simple, but self‑control against sudden anger is the biggest barrier standing in our way.(换位思考的理论听起来简单，但克制突如其来的怒火是阻碍我们的最大障碍。)”可知，践行换位思考最大的难处是被突发的负面情绪支配。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I have gradually formed two small habits to avoid prejudiced judgment. Before blaming anyone, I will consciously picture myself standing in their position and feel their pressure firsthand. Besides, I force myself to pause for fifteen full seconds before saying any critical words.(我慢慢养成了两个小习惯，避免带有偏见地评判他人。在指责任何人之前，我会有意识地设想自己站在他们的立场，切身感受他们的压力。此外，我强迫自己在说出任何批评的话之前，完整停顿十五秒。)”可知，本段主要讲避免偏见评判的实用方法。 C Most homes and offices decorate their spaces with potted houseplants, widely believed to remove harmful airborne chemicals, brighten dull environments and ease daily stress — seen as an all-around win for indoor life. Yet a new study by environmental scientists at the University of York challenges this common belief. It finds common houseplants barely improve indoor air quality in real-life rooms. In poorly ventilated spaces, soil bacteria in some pots may even release small amounts of volatile(挥发性的) organic compounds, slightly raising pollutant levels instead of lowering them. The research team tested 12 widespread houseplant species under both lab and real home conditions. In small sealed chambers(密封的房间), plants did absorb certain pollutants, as many earlier experiments had shown. However, in a regular-sized bedroom, a person would need to place more than 100 plants to achieve a meaningful reduction in pollutants — a number far beyond what most households keep. With the typical three to five plants per home, the removal rate of harmful chemicals stays below 5 percent. “Houseplants bring real benefits for mood and attention,” said lead researcher Dr. Eleanor Hayes. “But their purifying power is hugely overstated. Counting on them to solve indoor air pollution will only lead to disappointment.” The Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) is not oblivious to this conclusion. Its researchers drew a similar result years ago. Senior scientist Michael Torres argued houseplants should not be dismissed as worthless. “Improve home ventilation, and the tiny extra pollutants from potting soil won’t matter,” he said. Torres added the association will never advise removing plants or stopping new purchases, as the comfort and joy they bring are irreplaceable. Instead, he suggests using natural ventilation(通风) and air purifiers for clean air, treating houseplants as a pleasant bonus rather than a solution. 8. What does the new study find about common houseplants? A. They greatly reduce indoor pollution risks. B. They work better in well-ventilated offices. C. They remove most airborne harmful chemicals. D. They purify the air less effectively than widely thought. 9. What do the York researchers point out? A. 100 plants per room work noticeably. B. Earlier studies were totally misleading. C. Houseplants perform differently in places. D. Most houseplants release harmful compounds. 10. What does the underlined phrase “counting on” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Benefiting from B. Insisting on C. Preparing for D. Relying on 11. What does Michael Torres suggest? A. Stopping purchasing more houseplants. B. Using proper ways to improve air quality. C. Cutting down houseplants in most homes. D. Removing plants in poorly ventilated rooms. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了约克大学一项新研究发现室内盆栽净化空气的效果远没有大众认为的那么好，同时专家表示盆栽依然可以愉悦心情，净化室内空气应当依靠通风和空气净化器。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It finds common houseplants barely improve indoor air quality in real-life rooms.(研究发现普通室内盆栽在真实房间里几乎不能改善室内空气质量)”可知，室内盆栽净化空气的效果不如大众普遍认为的那样有效。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In small sealed chambers, plants did absorb certain pollutants, as many earlier experiments had shown. However, in a regular-sized bedroom, a person would need to place more than 100 plants to achieve a meaningful reduction in pollutants(在小型密封实验舱中，植物确实可以吸收部分污染物，正如许多早期实验显示的那样。然而在普通大小的卧室中，人们需要摆放超过100株植物才能明显减少污染物)”可知，室内盆栽在不同环境下表现不一样。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“But their purifying power is hugely overstated. Counting on them to solve indoor air pollution will only lead to disappointment.(但是它们的净化能力被严重夸大了。……它们解决室内空气污染只会带来失望)”可知，划线词前文提到它们的净化能力被严重夸大，后文提到只会带来失望，可推理出划线词counting on的含义为“依靠、指望”。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead, he suggests using natural ventilation and air purifiers for clean air, treating houseplants as a pleasant bonus rather than a solution.(相反，他建议利用自然通风和空气净化器来获得洁净空气，把室内盆栽当作令人愉悦的附加品而不是解决方案)”可知，Michael Torres建议使用合适的方法改善空气质量。 D A team of psychologists from the University of Chicago conducted an experiment to compare the effects of natural sounds and common white noise on people’s sustained attention. In the study, 212 adult participants were randomly divided into two groups. The nature sound group completed a 40‑minute attention task with recordings of forest birdsong and gentle rainfall playing in the background. The control group performed the same task with standard white noise — a steady, uniform sound widely used in workplaces to reduce surrounding distractions. The task required participants to monitor a stream of numbers on a screen and press a button whenever a specific rare pattern appeared. Both accuracy and reaction speed were recorded as key measures of attention performance. Overall, the nature sound group scored 12% higher on average in attention accuracy than the control group, with no significant difference in reaction speed between the two groups. When researchers divided participants by their self‑reported daily distractibility, the performance gap grew much wider. Among people who often struggled to stay focused in daily life, those in the nature sound group performed over 21% better than similar participants in the control group. For those with naturally strong concentration, the improvement was small and not statistically meaningful. The researchers also tracked participants’ mood states before and after the task. Both groups reported similar levels of relaxation and positive feelings after finishing the test. This result indicated that the attention improvement was not driven by a better mood, but by the natural sounds themselves, which help the brain enter a gentle state of focus without requiring extra mental effort. “Many people turn on white noise when they need to concentrate, assuming it is the most reliable choice,” said Dr. Lena Marlow, lead researcher of the study. “But our findings suggest natural sounds are a more effective option, especially for those who struggle with distraction. Small adjustments to our daily sound environment can bring noticeable improvements to work and study efficiency.” 12. What is a feature of the nature sound group in the experiment? A. They finished a shorter version of the task. B. They worked with natural sound recordings. C. They were tested only on reaction speed. D. They were chosen from office workers. 13. Which group showed the most obvious performance improvement? A. The nature sound group with strong natural focus. B. The control group with strong natural focus. C. The nature sound group with high daily distractibility. D. The control group with high daily distractibility. 14. Why did the researchers measure participants’ mood states? A. To judge how relaxing different sounds are. B. To rule out mood as the cause of the results. C. To test the influence of the task on feelings. D. To measure the mental effort of the task. 15. What can we learn from the study’s findings? A. White noise does harm to people’s concentration. B. Natural sounds can effectively help improve focus. C. Sound has little effect on most people’s attention. D. People with strong focus need no sound assistance. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一项实验，说明自然声比白噪音更有助于提升专注力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The nature sound group completed a 40‑minute attention task with recordings of forest birdsong and gentle rainfall playing in the background. (自然声音组在播放森林鸟鸣和轻柔雨声录音的背景下，完成了一项40分钟的注意力任务)”可知，自然声音组的实验特征是在自然声音录音的背景下完成任务。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Among people who often struggled to stay focused in daily life, those in the nature sound group performed over 21% better than similar participants in the control group. (在日常注意力容易分散的人群中，自然声音组的表现比对照组中情况相似的参与者高出21%以上)”可知，日常易分心的自然声音组表现提升最明显。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“This result indicated that the attention improvement was not driven by a better mood, but by the natural sounds themselves, which help the brain enter a gentle state of focus without requiring extra mental effort. (这一结果表明，注意力的提升并非由更好的情绪所驱动，而是由自然声音本身带来的，这些声音能帮助大脑进入一种温和的专注状态，而无需额外的心理努力)”可知，研究者测量情绪状态是为了排除情绪作为实验结果的影响因素。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But our findings suggest natural sounds are a more effective option, especially for those who struggle with distraction. (但我们的研究结果表明，自然声音是一种更有效的选择，尤其是对于那些难以集中注意力的人来说)”可知，这项研究的发现告诉我们，自然声音可以有效地帮助人们提高专注力。 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。 Public libraries, once seen only as quiet places to borrow books, are now taking on many new roles in modern cities.

She had practiced for months and was eager to show her skills. Though the weather forecast warned of heavy rain in the mountain area, she took the scheduled bus, thinking the rain would lighten up soon. But things went worse than expected. Halfway through the mountain road, a small landslide blocked the highway, and all buses had to stop. Passengers were told the road would not reopen until the next day. Unwilling to miss the contest, Lila decided to take a narrow forest path she had heard about, which could cut the journey short. She walked for an hour, but the pouring rain blurred her way. Worse still, she twisted her ankle on a slippery rock and could barely walk. As daylight faded, panic grew inside her. She tried to call for help, but there was no phone signal in the mountains. She limped to a broken wooden shelter by the path and huddled there, cold and helpless, wondering if she would make it to the contest. Lila was woken by a soft voice. An elderly man in a green ranger uniform stood in front of her, holding a flashlight. He was Mr. Hale, a forest ranger who was doing his evening patrol. He gently helped her up and took her to his nearby ranger station. There, he dried her wet clothes, put a bandage on her ankle, and made her a cup of warm ginger tea. Lila told him about her speech contest, her voice filled with disappointment. 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。 Mr. Hale suggested that Lila take a lesser‑known mountain trail with him at dawn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, Lila came back to the ranger station with her first‑prize certificate. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mr. Hale suggested that Lila take a lesser‑known mountain trail with him at dawn. He explained that the path, though rough, could bypass the landslide and lead straight to the contest venue. He would be on his morning patrol anyway and could guide her all the way. Grateful and relieved, Lila nodded repeatedly. At sunrise, they set off slowly. Mr. Hale walked slowly to match her pace, pointing out wild plants and telling her stories of the forest to ease her nervousness. By nine o’clock, they reached the contest hall just in time. A week later, Lila came back to the ranger station with her first‑prize certificate. She handed Mr. Hale a handwritten thank‑you note, saying she would have given up without his help. Mr. Hale smiled warmly and said it was what anyone would do. Lila told him she had added his story into her speech, and it had touched every judge. That day, she learned that a small act of kindness could light up someone’s whole world, and she promised to pass on the warmth in the future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Lila在参加演讲比赛途中遭遇暴雨和山体滑坡，又扭伤脚踝被困山中，被护林员Mr. Hale救助后，在他的带领下及时赶到赛场，最终获得一等奖并回来感谢他的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写Mr. Hale提出带Lila走一条少有人知的山间小路，并在天亮时陪她出发、一路帮助她赶上比赛的过程。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写一周后Lila带着一等奖证书回到护林站感谢Mr. Hale，并讲述自己把这段经历写进演讲、承诺传递善意的内容。 2.续写线索：提出小路——天亮出发——一路相助——及时赶到——获得一等奖——回来感谢——传递善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/illustrate ②出发：set off/depart/start off 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative ②宽慰的：relieved/comforted 【点睛】【高分句型1】She handed Mr. Hale a handwritten thank‑you note, saying she would have given up without his help.

Book a guided tour in advance. B Putting ourselves in others’ shoes is the most basic quality of a decent person. For years, I could never fully understand why so many people failed to practice this simple rule. It seemed easy enough to imagine others’ situations before passing judgment, until a small family incident forced me to reflect deeply on my own blind spots. Last Tuesday evening, I lost my temper over my 14-year-old son Leo. His teachers had sent me three warning messages that week: he frequently handed in unfinished homework and arrived late for morning classes almost every day. I blamed him sharply for being lazy and lacking self-discipline, without giving him a single chance to explain. Instead of shouting back, Leo lowered his head and spoke in a soft, tired voice. Our home lies more than 25 kilometers away from his school. The bus ride alone takes one hour each way. The bumpy, noisy bus leaves no quiet space for him to focus on schoolwork. By the time he gets home after rush-hour traffic, it is already dark, and he is too exhausted to finish heavy assignments quickly. His words struck me silent all at once. I suddenly realized I had only focused on his bad performance, totally ignoring the tough struggles hidden behind his mistakes. This conversation brought me a clear insight: everyone can recite a great many wise truths, yet putting them into real action is surprisingly hard. I have long told my family and friends to stay considerate, but whenever I am seized by negative emotions, I instinctively jump to blame others. I fix my eyes on visible results rather than digging out unseen difficulties others are going through. The theory of empathy sounds simple, but self-control against sudden anger is the biggest barrier standing in our way. I have gradually formed two small habits to avoid prejudiced judgment. Before blaming anyone, I will consciously picture myself standing in their position and feel their pressure firsthand. Besides, I force myself to pause for fifteen full seconds before saying any critical words. That short pause can calm my sudden anger, break my fixed prejudice, and leave space for real understanding between people. 4. Why does the author talk about the value of empathy at the very beginning? A. To lead in the following personal story. B. To create an unexpected sharp contrast. C. To provide related supporting statistics. D. To prove a viewpoint with opposite examples. 5. What was Leo’s attitude when faced with the author’s blame? A. Annoyed and defensive. B. Calm and wronged. C. Confused and doubtful. D. Unconcerned and careless. 6. What is the greatest difficulty in practicing empathy? A. Lacking enough life experience. B. Being controlled by sudden bad emotions. C. Having too many things to do. D. Failing to remember valuable life lessons. 7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Practical methods to avoid biased judgment. B. Hidden harm of drawing quick conclusions. C. The importance of patient communication with teenagers. D. Long-term benefits of keeping silent when annoyed. C Most homes and offices decorate their spaces with potted houseplants, widely believed to remove harmful airborne chemicals, brighten dull environments and ease daily stress — seen as an all-around win for indoor life. Yet a new study by environmental scientists at the University of York challenges this common belief. It finds common houseplants barely improve indoor air quality in real-life rooms. In poorly ventilated spaces, soil bacteria in some pots may even release small amounts of volatile(挥发性的) organic compounds, slightly raising pollutant levels instead of lowering them. The research team tested 12 widespread houseplant species under both lab and real home conditions. In small sealed chambers(密封的房间), plants did absorb certain pollutants, as many earlier experiments had shown. However, in a regular-sized bedroom, a person would need to place more than 100 plants to achieve a meaningful reduction in pollutants — a number far beyond what most households keep. With the typical three to five plants per home, the removal rate of harmful chemicals stays below 5 percent. “Houseplants bring real benefits for mood and attention,” said lead researcher Dr. Eleanor Hayes. “But their purifying power is hugely overstated. Counting on them to solve indoor air pollution will only lead to disappointment.” The Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) is not oblivious to this conclusion. Its researchers drew a similar result years ago. Senior scientist Michael Torres argued houseplants should not be dismissed as worthless. “Improve home ventilation, and the tiny extra pollutants from potting soil won’t matter,” he said. Torres added the association will never advise removing plants or stopping new purchases, as the comfort and joy they bring are irreplaceable. Instead, he suggests using natural ventilation(通风) and air purifiers for clean air, treating houseplants as a pleasant bonus rather than a solution. 8. What does the new study find about common houseplants? A. They greatly reduce indoor pollution risks. B. They work better in well-ventilated offices. C. They remove most airborne harmful chemicals. D. They purify the air less effectively than widely thought. 9. What do the York researchers point out? A. 100 plants per room work noticeably. B. Earlier studies were totally misleading. C. Houseplants perform differently in places. D. Most houseplants release harmful compounds. 10. What does the underlined phrase “counting on” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Benefiting from B. Insisting on C. Preparing for D. Relying on 11. What does Michael Torres suggest? A. Stopping purchasing more houseplants. B. Using proper ways to improve air quality. C. Cutting down houseplants in most homes. D. Removing plants in poorly ventilated rooms. D A team of psychologists from the University of Chicago conducted an experiment to compare the effects of natural sounds and common white noise on people’s sustained attention. In the study, 212 adult participants were randomly divided into two groups. The nature sound group completed a 40‑minute attention task with recordings of forest birdsong and gentle rainfall playing in the background. The control group performed the same task with standard white noise — a steady, uniform sound widely used in workplaces to reduce surrounding distractions. The task required participants to monitor a stream of numbers on a screen and press a button whenever a specific rare pattern appeared. Both accuracy and reaction speed were recorded as key measures of attention performance. Overall, the nature sound group scored 12% higher on average in attention accuracy than the control group, with no significant difference in reaction speed between the two groups. When researchers divided participants by their self‑reported daily distractibility, the performance gap grew much wider. Among people who often struggled to stay focused in daily life, those in the nature sound group performed over 21% better than similar participants in the control group. For those with naturally strong concentration, the improvement was small and not statistically meaningful. The researchers also tracked participants’ mood states before and after the task. Both groups reported similar levels of relaxation and positive feelings after finishing the test. This result indicated that the attention improvement was not driven by a better mood, but by the natural sounds themselves, which help the brain enter a gentle state of focus without requiring extra mental effort. “Many people turn on white noise when they need to concentrate, assuming it is the most reliable choice,” said Dr. Lena Marlow, lead researcher of the study. “But our findings suggest natural sounds are a more effective option, especially for those who struggle with distraction. Small adjustments to our daily sound environment can bring noticeable improvements to work and study efficiency.” 12. What is a feature of the nature sound group in the experiment? A. They finished a shorter version of the task. B. They worked with natural sound recordings. C. They were tested only on reaction speed. D. They were chosen from office workers. 13. Which group showed the most obvious performance improvement? A. The nature sound group with strong natural focus. B. The control group with strong natural focus. C. The nature sound group with high daily distractibility. D. The control group with high daily distractibility. 14. Why did the researchers measure participants’ mood states? A. To judge how relaxing different sounds are. B. To rule out mood as the cause of the results. C. To test the influence of the task on feelings. D. To measure the mental effort of the task. 15. What can we learn from the study’s findings? A. White noise does harm to people’s concentration. B. Natural sounds can effectively help improve focus. C. Sound has little effect on most people’s attention. D. People with strong focus need no sound assistance. 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。 Public libraries, once seen only as quiet places to borrow books, are now taking on many new roles in modern cities.

She had practiced for months and was eager to show her skills. Though the weather forecast warned of heavy rain in the mountain area, she took the scheduled bus, thinking the rain would lighten up soon. But things went worse than expected. Halfway through the mountain road, a small landslide blocked the highway, and all buses had to stop. Passengers were told the road would not reopen until the next day. Unwilling to miss the contest, Lila decided to take a narrow forest path she had heard about, which could cut the journey short. She walked for an hour, but the pouring rain blurred her way. Worse still, she twisted her ankle on a slippery rock and could barely walk. As daylight faded, panic grew inside her. She tried to call for help, but there was no phone signal in the mountains. She limped to a broken wooden shelter by the path and huddled there, cold and helpless, wondering if she would make it to the contest. Lila was woken by a soft voice. An elderly man in a green ranger uniform stood in front of her, holding a flashlight. He was Mr. Hale, a forest ranger who was doing his evening patrol. He gently helped her up and took her to his nearby ranger station. There, he dried her wet clothes, put a bandage on her ankle, and made her a cup of warm ginger tea. Lila told him about her speech contest, her voice filled with disappointment. 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。 Mr. Hale suggested that Lila take a lesser‑known mountain trail with him at dawn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, Lila came back to the ranger station with her first‑prize certificate. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
