If you're DIY minded,you can build your own solar power system. In some cases,you can even build your own solar panels (电池板) ,although the amount that you can effectively DIY home solar depends on how much you want to power. Making your own solar panel is a time consuming process and requires some electrical skills. However,it can also be very rewarding—learning to build your own panel is a great way to understand how solar electricity is generated.
Before you can build your own solar panels,you first need to understand how solar cells generate electricity. Once you've bought individual solar cells (they can be purchased online) , the basic process for building your own solar panel goes like this:Prepare the backing for your panel. Many DIY solar panel builders prefer to use a wooden board as the base for their solar cell. You'll need to drill holes in the board so that the wires for each cell can pass through. Wire your solar cells together. This requires some experience with electrical work. Use a soldering iron (烙铁) to attach wire to the solar cells and then link each of the cells together. Attach cells to your backing. If possible, attach each solar cell to the backing individually. This makes it easier to replace a single cell in the event that becomes damaged or is not operating properly.
At this point you have a functional solar panel that can produce electricity when the sun shines. However, a solar panel by itself is not useful. If you are trying to generate electricity to power devices in your home, you need to pair your panel with an inverter (换流器) that will turn direct current (DC) power from the sun into the alternating current (AC) power used in most modern electronic devices.
24.What does the author think of building DIY solar panel in the first paragraph
A.It is easy. B.It is necessary.
C.It is common. D.It is worthwhile.
25.What's the first step of building your own solar panels
A.Master the advanced knowledge of management.
B.Buy individual solar cells.
C.Prepare the backing for your panel.
D.Drill holes in the wooden board.
26.Why are solar cells connected to the wooden board separately
A.To produce more power.
B.To substitute damaged cells easily.
C.To attach cells to the backing tightly.
D.To pass through the wooden board easily.
27.What can be inferred from the text
A.People with electrical skills have advantages over those without in DIY solar panels.
B.A functional solar panel can give power to your home devices directly.
C.How to pair an inverter depends on how much you want to power.
D.A wooden board is a must for your own solar panels.

If_Confucius_(孔子)_were_still_alive_today_and_could_celebrate_his_September_28_birthday_with_a_big_cake,there_would_be_a_lot_of_candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But that doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past twenty years,the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of (利用) ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks (缺陷) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States,at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
28.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.
A.provide some key facts about Confucius
B.attract the readers' interest in the subject
C.show great respect for the ancient thinker
D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
29.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.
A.take an active part in Chinese competitions
B.try to get high scores in Chinese exams
C.have a great interest in studying Chinese
D.fight for a chance to learn Chinese
30.What is the best title for this passage
A.Forgotten Wisdom in America.
B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language.
C.Chinese Culture for Westerners.
D.Old Thinker with a Big Future.
31.The passage is likely to appear in ________.
A.a biography
B.a history paper
C.a philosophy textbook
D.a newspaper

My husband and I had tried for many years to have children, but it just never happened. So we applied to be foster parents (养父母). We decided we should start with an older child for a number of reasons. Since we both worked, child care might be a problem. Our dog Corby might be a bit too energetic for a young child. __36__ We sat back and prepared to wait for the few months they thought it might take to get a school age child to pass—which was why we were at a loss when the agency called us within weeks, just before Christmas, and asked if we would take Kaleb, a two and a half year old boy, for a few months.

But before we could even reach the child, I heard a noise from behind me. __38__ I gasped (因惊异吸气). Corby would frighten Kaleb — probably even knock him down.
Corby reached Kaleb before either of us could grab her. She hounded up to the boy and immediately began licking his face with joy. __39__ . His face light up with excitement,he cried, “Can this be my dog?”
Kaleb came to stay those few months. __40__ Yes, we've adopted Kaleb. He became our son,and Corby ... well,she couldn't have been happier. She turned out to be Kaleb's dog, after all.
A.Privately, I was full of doubts.
B.There were so many difficulties.
C.Eight and a half years later, he is still with us.
D.Turning, I saw Corby heading straight for the little boy.
E.In our hurry, we must not have closed the door completely.
F.And honestly,we were a little nervous about taking on a baby.
G.In response, this little boy threw his arms around the dog's neck and turned toward us.

David Aguilar is a boy born without his right arm. Because of that, Aguilar has always stood out from the persons at the same age. As a child, he was very nervous to be in front of other guys, because he thought that he was different. While growing up, Aguilar had to learn how to do everything with just one hand. Although he was able to do almost everything people with two hands can do, Aguilar explained that he still thought about getting a prosthetic hand (假肢) throughout his childhood just so that he could look a little bit more normal and fit in with everyone else.
When Aguilar told his parents that those arms were cool because they were mechanical (机械的) and could make you look like a robot,his parents began thinking about buying a prosthetic arm for Aguilar. However, when Aguilar's parents started looking into getting their son a prosthetic hand, they discovered how expensive it was. And they couldn't afford to buy one for their son.
Yet when Aguilar was playing with his Lego (乐高) at the age of nine years old, he started experimenting with building his own prosthetic arm. He didn't know it at the time,but his favorite toy was about to change the way he viewed himself as well as change the course of his life. At first,he just wanted to create something that could help him and be part of him. As he linked the blocks together around his arm, he just started making this prosthetic from Lego. When Aguilar looked at himself in the mirror for the first time with his Lego prosthetic, he was amazed by what he saw.
However, the arm wasn't the most strong and would often bend and break if he tried to do any heavy lifting with it. So almost ten years later, Aguilar set out to build himself a new prosthetic arm and he hoped to help more people who didn't have enough money to buy prosthetic hands. One day, one of his dad's friends gave him a Lego plane as a gift, but all he saw was an arm.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。

Dear Peter,
I'm happy to hear from you.Just as you've learned, artificial intelligence is now widely used in China. Here I'd like to share with you what I experienced during the week long National Day holiday.
When traveling, we were amazed at the changes and convenience brought by artificial intelligence. First of all, wherever and whenever we went,we could use the mobile payment. More interestingly, we no longer had to get into tourist attractions with the ID card. We could do it through a face recognition app now, which really saved time so that we didn't have to wait in queue. What an amazing experience!
I do hope you can come to China and experience all of this when you have spare time. Looking forward to your coming.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

Since then,Aguilar has built two more models of his Lego arm. He spends lots of time trying to improve each model to be stronger. Now, his prosthetic arm is so strong that he can lift heavy objects and even do push ups with it. Since news of his Lego arms has spread around the world, Aguilar has been contacted by people asking him to build them their own Lego prosthetic arms. Although he wants to help, he has limited knowledge.
To help these people asking for help, Aguilar is studying bioengineering at university. He works very hard at university and his dream is to make affordable prosthetics for people around the world. Until now, Aguilar has achieved much progress and he has helped dozens of people having the same problems as him. He wants to show others that a disability won't stop one from accomplishing his or her dreams. After graduation, Aguilar plans to build a company which aims to produce the prosthetic hands that most people can afford.
