As an amateur (业余的) radio operator, Moffatt has connected with people worldwide. “By sending signals to satellites, I’ve talked to people from the Arctic to the Antarctic,” Moffatt said. And on Wednesday at the Ontario Science Centre, the 96-year-old got to go even further. An amateur radio connection allowed the senior and students to speak with Commander Luca aboard the International Space Station. By connection, Moffatt told the astronaut she was very excited, admitting that this was an unrealized dream she had for many years. Then Moffatt asked if Luca could keep the space station clean and tidy, adding that as a “mature woman” she had done lots of cleaning in her life. When Moffatt was a young girl, she moved to Toronto with her family, hoping there would be chances for a girl interested in science. She desperately wanted to go to university, but moving house placed a significant burden (负担) on their finances. Not discouraged, she took a course in amateur radio, then a popular technology, and shortly after she got her license. After retiring, Moffatt started volunteering at the Ontario Science Centre. With her radio license, she helped set up the centre’s first radio shack (无线电设备室). The idea to connect with the International Space Station came just after Moffatt’s 36th birthday. Finally after 60 years with the help of amateur radio operators and NASA, Moffatt made her connection. While the connection wasn’t very clear, she was moved to tears, telling those who had gathered to watch that it was the “highlight” of her life. Moffatt plans to keep volunteering at the centre, introducing younger people to the older form of technology, and to keep speaking to anyone who can pick up her signal. “It’s a technology even older than me and I love amateur radio,” Moffatt added. 4. What can we learn about Moffatt from the first two paragraphs? A. She was an environmentalist. B. She attempted an Internet talk. C. She achieved a lifetime goal. D. She was into space exploration. 5. Why did Moffatt and her family move to Toronto? A. To seek better opportunities. B. To get a radio license. C. To survive financial troubles. D. To attend a radio school. 6. What does Moffatt plan to do further? A. Continue her passion for radio. B. Promote communication with astronauts. C. Acquire new scientific abilities. D. Start her radio shack business. 7. Which of the following can best describe Moffatt? A. Out-spoken and energetic. B. Creative and ambitious. C. Humorous and generous. D. Passionate and determined. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了96岁业余无线电爱好者吉恩·莫法特，坚持梦想，借助业余无线电与国际空间站宇航员通话，同时坚持志愿工作，推广无线电技术。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For decades, Jean Moffatt has been reaching out over the airwaves.(几十年来，吉恩·莫法特一直在通过无线电波进行接触)”以及第二段“By connection, Moffatt told the astronaut she was very excited, admitting that this was an unrealized dream she had for many years.(通过这次连线，莫法特告诉宇航员她十分激动，坦言这是她多年来未曾实现的梦想)”可知，莫法特一直在通过无线电波进行接触，实现了毕生目标。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When Moffatt was a young girl, she moved to Toronto with her family, hoping there would be chances for a girl interested in science. (莫法特小时候和家人搬到多伦多，希望对科学感兴趣的女孩能获得一些机会)”可知，莫法特搬家是为了寻求更好的机会。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Moffatt plans to keep volunteering at the centre, introducing younger people to the older form of technology, and to keep speaking to anyone who can pick up her signal. (莫法特计划继续在该中心做志愿，向年轻人介绍这项古老技术，并继续和任何能接收到她信号的人通话)”可知，她打算继续坚持对无线电的热爱。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For decades, Jean Moffatt has been reaching out over the airwaves.(几十年来，吉恩·莫法特一直在通过无线电波进行接触)”以及文章内容可知，莫法特数十年坚持无线电爱好，历经60年终于完成和空间站通话的梦想，由此可推知，莫法特是热情且意志坚定的。 C Which theme park would you like to visit? There are various kinds of theme parks, with different parks for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, movies, history, and so on. Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showing famous sights and sounds. Whichever and whatever you like, there is an incredible theme park that will appeal to you! The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland, which can be found in several parts of the world. Disneyland will bring you into a magical world and make your childhood dreams come true. Travelling through space, visiting a pirate ship, or meeting an adorable fairytale or cartoon character are all possible at Disneyland. As you wander around the fantasy amusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or even on the street. Of course, Disneyland also has many exciting rides to amuse you, from enormous swinging ships to scary free-fall drops. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland! Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeastern USA, is unique because it shows and celebrates America’s traditional southeastern culture. Famous country music groups put on performances there all year round, indoors and outdoors. People come from all over America to see skilled workers make wood, glass, and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Visiting the candy shop and trying some of the same kind of candy that American southerners made 150 years ago is a rare experience. Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States is a special treat. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has a superb old wooden roller coaster, Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the longest track in the smallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America’s historical southeastern culture! Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, China, is one of the leading ocean-themed parks in the world. Here you can walk under the Whale Shark Aquarium — the world’s largest — and see up to 20,000 fish, in addition to whale sharks. Watching the dolphin and sea lion shows is both educational and fun. Of course, you can also see all kinds of interesting animals, including polar bears. The park has more rides than you can imagine: join a water fight against pirates, get turned upside down by an exciting roller coaster, or get wet in one of the water rides! Then at night, see the splendid Journey of Lights Parade and fireworks display. Hungry?

C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了三个各具特色的主题公园——迪士尼乐园、多莱坞公园以及珠海长隆海洋王国，展现它们不同的主题特色，告诉读者主题公园不止有趣，还能带给人们不一样的体验。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“There are various kinds of theme parks, with different parks for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, movies, history, and so on. Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showing famous sights and sounds. Whichever and whatever you like, there is an incredible theme park that will appeal to you!(有各种各样的主题公园，几乎涵盖所有主题：美食、文化、科学、卡通、电影、历史等等。有些公园以拥有最大或最长的过山车闻名，另一些则以展示著名的景观和音效著称。无论你喜欢哪一个、喜欢什么，总有一个绝妙的主题公园会吸引你！)”以及下文分别介绍三个公园的特色主题与游玩乐趣可知，这三个主题公园都把乐趣和独特的主题结合在了一起。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Famous country music groups put on performances there all year round, indoors and outdoors.(知名乡村音乐团体常年在那里进行室内外演出。)”可知，游客在多莱坞公园可以全年观看乡村音乐演出。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Here you can walk under the Whale Shark Aquarium — the world’s largest — and see up to 20,000 fish, in addition to whale sharks.(在这里，你可以穿行于世界最大的鲸鲨馆下方，除了鲸鲨，还能观赏多达两万条鱼类。)”可知，长隆海洋王国的特别之处是拥有世界上最大的鲸鲨馆。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland!(如果你想要收获欢乐，又不只是单纯的欢乐，那就来迪士尼乐园吧！)”、第三段“Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America’s historical southeastern culture!(来多莱坞公园吧，在游玩的同时了解美国东南部的历史文化！)”以及第四段“If it is ocean entertainment that you are looking for, come to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom!(如果你想要的是海洋主题的游乐体验，那就来长隆海洋王国吧！)”可知，全文围绕主题公园展开，介绍它们不仅好玩，还蕴含不同主题内容，所以最佳标题是C选项“Theme Parks: Fun and More Than Fun(主题公园：乐趣，不止于乐趣)”。 D In a groundbreaking study in 2024, biologists discovered that plants communicate through complex networks of fungal threads (真菌丝). When attacked by insects, bean plants release chemical signals through these threads, warning neighbouring plants to produce poison. Dr. Elena Torres, lead researcher, compares it to an “underground Internet”. “One stressed plant can activate defenses across an entire forest,” she says. This finding challenges the view that plants are passive organisms. Sound also plays a role. Using highly sensitive microphones, scientists recorded ultrasonic pulses (超声波的) given off by corn sprouts under drought stress. When these recordings were played to other plants, their roots grew towards the sound source. “It’s as if they’re ‘hearing’ their peers’ distress,” explains Dr. Hiroshi Nakamura. In another experiment, pea plants that were exposed to the sound of caterpillars eating leaves produced higher levels of defensive chemicals. This sound signaling could change pest control in agriculture. Critics urge caution. Dr. Emily Carter argues, “We’re personifying plants. These reactions are biochemical, not conscious communication.” Moral debates also arise: If plants sense pain, should vegan diets be reconsidered? Torres responds firmly: “Plants lack nervous systems. Stress responses are survival mechanisms, not sentience.” Meanwhile, farmers in Brazil already use “plant whisperer” devices that translate leaf vibrations into data, predicting pest outbreaks days before visible damage. The consequences are vast. Geneticists are engineering crops with enhanced signaling abilities, creating “warning systems” for droughts or diseases. In Kenya, farmers grow corn together with signal-producing plants that prevent insects naturally. “This could reduce pesticide use by 70%,” says agronomist Kwame Okafor. As research speeds up, we edge closer to a world where forests “speak”, fields “warn”, and gardens “guide” — a silent dialogue that has been going on beneath our feet for ages, now interpreted by science. Recent advancements aim to apply plant communication commercially. A startup PhytoTech developed a sensor that interprets plant chemical SOS signals, informing farmers via app to water or fertilize. Trials in California vineyards reduced crop loss by 25%. However, critics warn against over-reliance: “Nature’s language is complex,” says ecologist Dr. Rachel Lin. “Simplifying it to apps risks missing deeper connections.” 12. How do bean plants respond to insect attacks according to Paragraph 1? A. By attracting helpful insects. B. By growing thicker leaves. C. By producing complex sounds. D. By releasing chemical warnings. 13. What do you know about the pea plant experiment described in Paragraph 2? A. Plants ignore droughts. B. Plants prefer silence. C. Plants respond to pest sounds. D. Plants react to water sounds. 14. What does the underlined word “sentience” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Balance. B. Feeling. C. Competition. D. Information. 15. What is Rachel Lin’s attitude towards using apps to learn plant signals? A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了植物之间通过真菌网络进行复杂的交流，以及科学家们如何利用这些发现来改进农业实践。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When attacked by insects, bean plants release chemical signals through these threads, warning neighbouring plants to produce poison.( 当受到昆虫的攻击时，豆类植物通过这些真菌丝释放化学信号，警告邻近的植物产生毒素。)”可知，当受到昆虫攻击时，豆类植物会通过真菌丝释放化学信号，警告邻近植物产生毒素。所以豆类植物对昆虫攻击的反应是释放化学警告。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In another experiment, pea plants that were exposed to the sound of caterpillars eating leaves produced higher levels of defensive chemicals.( 在另一项实验中，豌豆植物被暴露在毛毛虫吃叶子的声音中，产生了更高水平的防御性化学物质。)”可知，暴露在毛毛虫吃叶子的声音中的豌豆植物会产生更高水平的防御性化学物质。这表明植物会对害虫的声音做出反应。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Plants lack nervous systems. Stress responses are survival mechanisms, not…(植物没有神经系统。压力反应是一种生存机制，而不是……。)”可知，这里说的是植物缺乏神经系统，应激反应是生存机制，而不是感觉。这里的“sentience”意思是“感觉”，与B选项Feeling“感觉”意思相符。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “Nature’s language is complex,” says ecologist Dr. Rachel Lin. “Simplifying it to apps risks missing deeper connections.”(“大自然的语言是复杂的，”生态学家Rachel Lin博士说。“将其简化为应用程序可能会失去更深层次的联系。”)”可知，她认为自然的语言是复杂的，将其简化为应用程序可能会错过更深层次的联系。所以她对使用应用程序来了解植物信号的态度是怀疑的。故选C项。 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。 Practical Methods to Improve Daily Communication Have you ever argued with your family or friends just because you failed to express yourself well? ____16____ It helps us clear up misunderstandings, build close relationships and settle disagreements peacefully.

To me, it was nothing more than long lists of dates, names, and exam points that felt far removed from real life. While teachers spoke passionately about dynasties and ancient systems, I focused on memorizing just enough to pass tests. Once the exam was over, everything faded from my mind. I believed history belonged to textbooks, not to students like me who worried about rankings and future applications. That attitude began to change in my second term of senior high school, when China’s visa-free (免签) policy led to a noticeable increase in foreign tourists. Our school received a notice calling for student volunteers to guide international visitors at major landmarks, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I applied mainly because of my English skills and the chance to earn a volunteer certificate (证书), not because I cared about history. Before my first task, we were given training materials filled with historical background. As I leafed through the pages, my old impatience returned. There were too many details, too many unfamiliar terms (术语). Still, I forced myself to prepare, telling myself it was just another task to complete. On the morning of my first tour, I stood at the foot of the Great Wall with a group of visitors gathering around me. Clouds hung over the mountains, and the stone steps went upward beyond sight. As I began my introduction, my voice sounded nervous and my explanations felt unnatural. But as we climbed higher, questions followed — about why the wall was built along the mountains, who built it, and what it meant to the people who once defended it. Looking out over the endless mountains, I fell into deep thought. For the first time, the answers were no longer lines in the textbook. The stones under my feet felt strong and real. I realized that what I was sharing was not just information, but a story. 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。 I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, as I opened my history textbook at home, I realized it no longer felt the same. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version: Paragraph 1: I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall. Instead of listing dates, I described how the wall was built along the mountains to follow the land, which saved effort and strengthened defense. Pointing to the stones under our feet, I explained that their weight marked the efforts of ordinary people who guarded this border centuries ago. As I spoke, my voice steadied, and the visitors slowed their steps, listening attentively. It was then that I felt a quiet change inside me: I was no longer repeating facts, but sharing meaning. Paragraph 2: That evening, as I opened my history textbook at home, I realized it no longer felt the same. I didn’t rush to underline and memorize exam points; instead, I searched for the stories behind each event and connected them with the places I had visited. Only when history stepped out of the textbook and into real life did it become meaningful to me. Had I never guided those visitors, I might still have treated history as questions on the exam paper. It was history that helped me understand who we are and why it matters to tell our story well. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者原本认为历史枯燥无味，只为应付考试而学习。后来因参加为外国游客讲解长城的志愿活动，在亲身讲述历史故事的过程中，真正感受到历史的真实与意义，从而改变了态度的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写作者放下刻板知识点，生动讲述长城历史，内心悄然转变。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写作者重新看待历史课本，领悟历史源于生活、富有温度的真谛。 2.续写线索：讲述长城建造方式——解释建造目的——强调普通人贡献——感受内心变化——理解历史意义——翻开历史课本——不再枯燥——寻找故事——联系实地参观——历史变得有意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①描述；讲述：describe/narrate/illustrate ②解释：explain/elaborate/clarify 情绪类 ①内心平静转变：a quiet change inside/inner peace/subtle mental shift ②富有意义：meaningful/significant 【点睛】【高分句型1】Instead of listing dates, I described how the wall was built along the mountains to follow the land, which saved effort and strengthened defense.

As an amateur (业余的) radio operator, Moffatt has connected with people worldwide. “By sending signals to satellites, I’ve talked to people from the Arctic to the Antarctic,” Moffatt said. And on Wednesday at the Ontario Science Centre, the 96-year-old got to go even further. An amateur radio connection allowed the senior and students to speak with Commander Luca aboard the International Space Station. By connection, Moffatt told the astronaut she was very excited, admitting that this was an unrealized dream she had for many years. Then Moffatt asked if Luca could keep the space station clean and tidy, adding that as a “mature woman” she had done lots of cleaning in her life. When Moffatt was a young girl, she moved to Toronto with her family, hoping there would be chances for a girl interested in science. She desperately wanted to go to university, but moving house placed a significant burden (负担) on their finances. Not discouraged, she took a course in amateur radio, then a popular technology, and shortly after she got her license. After retiring, Moffatt started volunteering at the Ontario Science Centre. With her radio license, she helped set up the centre’s first radio shack (无线电设备室). The idea to connect with the International Space Station came just after Moffatt’s 36th birthday. Finally after 60 years with the help of amateur radio operators and NASA, Moffatt made her connection. While the connection wasn’t very clear, she was moved to tears, telling those who had gathered to watch that it was the “highlight” of her life. Moffatt plans to keep volunteering at the centre, introducing younger people to the older form of technology, and to keep speaking to anyone who can pick up her signal. “It’s a technology even older than me and I love amateur radio,” Moffatt added. 4. What can we learn about Moffatt from the first two paragraphs? A. She was an environmentalist. B. She attempted an Internet talk. C. She achieved a lifetime goal. D. She was into space exploration. 5. Why did Moffatt and her family move to Toronto? A. To seek better opportunities. B. To get a radio license. C. To survive financial troubles. D. To attend a radio school. 6. What does Moffatt plan to do further? A. Continue her passion for radio. B. Promote communication with astronauts. C. Acquire new scientific abilities. D. Start her radio shack business. 7. Which of the following can best describe Moffatt? A. Out-spoken and energetic. B. Creative and ambitious. C. Humorous and generous. D. Passionate and determined.

Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeastern USA, is unique because it shows and celebrates America’s traditional southeastern culture. Famous country music groups put on performances there all year round, indoors and outdoors. People come from all over America to see skilled workers make wood, glass, and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Visiting the candy shop and trying some of the same kind of candy that American southerners made 150 years ago is a rare experience. Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States is a special treat. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has a superb old wooden roller coaster, Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the longest track in the smallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America’s historical southeastern culture! Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, China, is one of the leading ocean-themed parks in the world. Here you can walk under the Whale Shark Aquarium — the world’s largest — and see up to 20,000 fish, in addition to whale sharks. Watching the dolphin and sea lion shows is both educational and fun. Of course, you can also see all kinds of interesting animals, including polar bears. The park has more rides than you can imagine: join a water fight against pirates, get turned upside down by an exciting roller coaster, or get wet in one of the water rides! Then at night, see the splendid Journey of Lights Parade and fireworks display. Hungry? The park has plenty of restaurants with tasty food for every appetite — you can even eat while watching the fish swim by.

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom: an Ocean Wonderland D In a groundbreaking study in 2024, biologists discovered that plants communicate through complex networks of fungal threads (真菌丝). When attacked by insects, bean plants release chemical signals through these threads, warning neighbouring plants to produce poison. Dr. Elena Torres, lead researcher, compares it to an “underground Internet”. “One stressed plant can activate defenses across an entire forest,” she says. This finding challenges the view that plants are passive organisms. Sound also plays a role. Using highly sensitive microphones, scientists recorded ultrasonic pulses (超声波的) given off by corn sprouts under drought stress. When these recordings were played to other plants, their roots grew towards the sound source. “It’s as if they’re ‘hearing’ their peers’ distress,” explains Dr. Hiroshi Nakamura. In another experiment, pea plants that were exposed to the sound of caterpillars eating leaves produced higher levels of defensive chemicals. This sound signaling could change pest control in agriculture. Critics urge caution. Dr. Emily Carter argues, “We’re personifying plants. These reactions are biochemical, not conscious communication.” Moral debates also arise: If plants sense pain, should vegan diets be reconsidered? Torres responds firmly: “Plants lack nervous systems. Stress responses are survival mechanisms, not sentience.” Meanwhile, farmers in Brazil already use “plant whisperer” devices that translate leaf vibrations into data, predicting pest outbreaks days before visible damage. The consequences are vast. Geneticists are engineering crops with enhanced signaling abilities, creating “warning systems” for droughts or diseases. In Kenya, farmers grow corn together with signal-producing plants that prevent insects naturally. “This could reduce pesticide use by 70%,” says agronomist Kwame Okafor. As research speeds up, we edge closer to a world where forests “speak”, fields “warn”, and gardens “guide” — a silent dialogue that has been going on beneath our feet for ages, now interpreted by science. Recent advancements aim to apply plant communication commercially. A startup PhytoTech developed a sensor that interprets plant chemical SOS signals, informing farmers via app to water or fertilize. Trials in California vineyards reduced crop loss by 25%. However, critics warn against over-reliance: “Nature’s language is complex,” says ecologist Dr. Rachel Lin. “Simplifying it to apps risks missing deeper connections.” 12. How do bean plants respond to insect attacks according to Paragraph 1? A. By attracting helpful insects. B. By growing thicker leaves. C. By producing complex sounds. D. By releasing chemical warnings. 13. What do you know about the pea plant experiment described in Paragraph 2? A. Plants ignore droughts. B. Plants prefer silence. C. Plants respond to pest sounds. D. Plants react to water sounds. 14. What does the underlined word “sentience” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Balance. B. Feeling. C. Competition. D. Information. 15. What is Rachel Lin’s attitude towards using apps to learn plant signals? A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned. 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。 Practical Methods to Improve Daily Communication Have you ever argued with your family or friends just because you failed to express yourself well? ____16____ It helps us clear up misunderstandings, build close relationships and settle disagreements peacefully.

To me, it was nothing more than long lists of dates, names, and exam points that felt far removed from real life. While teachers spoke passionately about dynasties and ancient systems, I focused on memorizing just enough to pass tests. Once the exam was over, everything faded from my mind. I believed history belonged to textbooks, not to students like me who worried about rankings and future applications. That attitude began to change in my second term of senior high school, when China’s visa-free (免签) policy led to a noticeable increase in foreign tourists. Our school received a notice calling for student volunteers to guide international visitors at major landmarks, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I applied mainly because of my English skills and the chance to earn a volunteer certificate (证书), not because I cared about history. Before my first task, we were given training materials filled with historical background. As I leafed through the pages, my old impatience returned. There were too many details, too many unfamiliar terms (术语). Still, I forced myself to prepare, telling myself it was just another task to complete. On the morning of my first tour, I stood at the foot of the Great Wall with a group of visitors gathering around me. Clouds hung over the mountains, and the stone steps went upward beyond sight. As I began my introduction, my voice sounded nervous and my explanations felt unnatural. But as we climbed higher, questions followed — about why the wall was built along the mountains, who built it, and what it meant to the people who once defended it. Looking out over the endless mountains, I fell into deep thought. For the first time, the answers were no longer lines in the textbook. The stones under my feet felt strong and real. I realized that what I was sharing was not just information, but a story. 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。 I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, as I opened my history textbook at home, I realized it no longer felt the same. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
