Xie Xiaohua has been working as a special education teacher for the past 26 years. Because of her adherence (坚守) to her work, she has won the heart of hundreds of children in special needs.
“It is my greatest happiness to care for them,” said the 48-year-old Xie, who has been working at a special education school since 1996. Fully aware of the difference between special education and general education, Xie provides specialized care to each student according to their physical conditions and helps them with learning and living. For example, she had taken the responsibility of looking after a student with physical disability for nine years until the student graduated from the school.
In 2013, Xie’s workload became heavier after she was assigned(指派) to work at the school’s rehabilitation (康复) center, which had been built ten years ago. To make sure that every child received suitable training, she worked out specific plans for them. For children with mental disability, Xie patiently taught them to master basic skills. She also spent lots of time training children with hearing and speech problems to work on their pronunciation.
Starting in 2015, the school carried out an activity of offering door-to-door education to students who could not attend school because of severe physical disabilities. Xie was among over 30 teachers tasked with tutoring(辅导) those students. The teachers have walked over 60, 000 kilometers over the past seven years because many villages where the students live are located in mountainous areas.
“Although we do feel tired sometimes, we feel our work is valuable after seeing their progress, even just a little bit.” Xie said.

A. Xie’s students have difficulty living a normal life.

Eggs have been a symbol of fertility since ancient times, when they represented the rebirth of new life during the spring equinox(昼夜平分点)and the arrival of a new season after a long dark winter. In the Christian religion, eggs symbolize Jesus and his coming back to life.
Because eggs are such an important symbol of Easter, it's natural that many Easter traditions around the world have something to do with eggs. In the city of Zenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is a special celebration known as Cimburijada, which marks both the Easter holiday and the beginning of spring. This festival, also known as the Festival of Scrambled(炒 的) Eggs, takes place every spring in a park on the Bosnia River. Thousands of people, both locals and tourists, gather in the park at dawn. There, chefs scramble thousands of eggs in huge metal pans. The eggs will be shared with everyone. Later, the entire town participates in a barbecue and party with live music. Brave people also throw themselves into the cold spring waters of the Bosnia River for the first swim of the year.
The Festival of Scrambled Eggs isn't the only eggy festival that takes place around Easter. Every year on the Monday following Easter Sunday, in Bessieres, France, chefs from the Giant Omelet Brotherhood of Bessieres gather and create a giant omelet (煎蛋卷) using 15, 000 fresh eggs. Legend has it that when the political leader Napoleon Bonaparte and his huge army were traveling through France, they spent one night near Bessieres. Napoleon had an omelet there, prepared by a local cook, and he liked it so much that he ordered the local people to gather all the eggs in the village and make a giant omelet for his army the next day.
Eggs play a big role in Easter celebrations around the world. So if that box of fresh eggs falls on the floor before you can color them, just create your own scrambled egg festival.
28. What do eggs symbolize according to the text
A. The arrival of a dark season. B. An ability to support life.
C. Newly-born life to earth. D. The beginning of Easter.
29. What do we know about the Festival of Scrambled Eggs
A. It observes the Easter and the start of spring.
B. It takes place in a park and only locals participate.
C. All the people scramble eggs together to share the fun.
D. Brave people are thrown into the cold waters to celebrate it.
30. What is the Giant Omelet Brotherhood of Bessieres
A. A dish. B. A cook. C. A festival. D. An organization.
31. What is in common between the two festivals
A. Both are held in a park. B. They both fall in winter.
C. Eggs are cooked by chefs. D. Similar activities are held.
D
Researchers are trying to explore creative ways to reduce e-waste. Now one team has invented a water-activated battery (水激活电池) made of paper and other sustainable materials.
Some e-waste is relatively large: old phones and air conditioners, for instance. Other e-waste is more unnoticeable, such as batteries. It’s these small batteries that are big problems. Nobody really pays attention to where they end up. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology are working to address this problem. They invented a water-activated paper battery using environmentally friendly materials that could eventually replace the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.
A traditional battery is made of plastic, metal or other harmful materials. The paper battery works the same as a traditional battery. It has a positively charged (带电的) side, a negatively charged side, and a conductive material (传导材料) between the two. In the new battery, the positively and negatively charged sides are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解) when the paper is wet. When the paper is dry, the battery is off. Once the paper is wet, the battery activates within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance worsens as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery begins to work again and lasts an hour before beginning to dry out again.
Although the researchers showed that their battery could power an alarm clock, it is unlikely to replace standard batteries now. It is hard to predict a time line for producing such batteries in a large number, but that future may not be so far off.
“This really starts with the development of sustainable materials,” Nystr m, the lead author, explains, “From there, I think we are able to create something that is quite useful.”
32. Why did the researchers invent the new batteries
A. To replace harmful batteries. B. To develop sustainable materials.
C. To power common devices. D. To make e-waste more noticeable.
33. In what aspect are the traditional and the new batteries different
A. Sizes. B. Usages. C. Materials D. Functions.
34. What do we know about the paper used in the new batteries
A. It dries within 20 seconds. B. It can be used many times.
C. It has ink on the front side. D. It breaks easily in salt water.
35. What can be inferred about the new battery from the last two paragraphs
A. It stores huge power. B. It takes ages to make it.
C. It is highly profitable D. It has a bright future.

If the prospect(展望)of going to college seems challenging, you’re not alone. On top of adjusting to a new environment, you also need to adjust to a new social scene. Unlike in high school when a lot of your friendships formed because you grew up together, 36 . So don’t be nervous and be confident! Here are some ways to meet new friends and build new friendships.
Ask around
It’s likely that you might have a few connections you may not even know about. 37 .They might be able to give you the name of an older student who is also in your future university , or people who are in the same excited, nervous places you right now. Send your connections a quick direct message explaining how you found them and saying you hope to see them on campus.
38 .
If meeting your neighbors in person isn't possible, you may want to get in touch with your future roommates online. Some schools even send out the names and telephone numbers of your roommates, so give them a call and introduce yourself.
Move in early
One of the best ways to adjust to college life and meet people is to get involved in activities. Some schools allow students to move onto campus early in order to perform some voluntary service. 39 . You might not become a member of the team, but at least you'll have something in common with the other students and things to talk about if you meet them again.
Schedule your study
With such big classes, there must be someone who wants to study for a test with you. You can e-mail everyone in your class, telling them the time and place where you're going to be studying. Usually at least one person will reply telling that they'd like to join. 40 .
A. Reach out to your roommates.
B. Some college sports teams have early tryouts(选拔赛).
C. Start a conversation with your neighbors.
D. this time you make friends with people who you are very familiar with.
E. this is a new chance to connect with people all over the country or the world.
F. Ask family and teachers if they know other students at your future school.
G. You'd be surprised how many study partners have become great friends.

The Lost Dog
One summer day, I went out my back door and found a small dog sitting in the grass. The dog stood up and wagged (摇) his tail when he saw me. I touched his short brown-and-white coat and checked him for a collar or ID tag (项圈或身份牌). He had neither. I lived in a small town. I knew all the dogs in the neighborhood, but I’d never seen him before. I told him to sit. To my surprise, he sat at once. “Stay,” I said, as I made my way into the storeroom where we kept the dry dog food for our dogs. When I returned, he was sitting in the exact place where I had left him. “Wow! You sure are trained,” I said. I set out some water and food, and the dog started eating.
I left him in the yard and went inside to read through the newspaper’s “Lost and Found” column (专栏). Unluckily, nobody had reported a missing brown-and-white dog. An hour later, my brother came home and asked why there was a strange dog in the yard. “I don’t know where he came from,” I said. “But he is owned by someone. Maybe he’s just lost and will find his way home.” Later that afternoon, my brother and I went outside and found the dog walking by the back door. We played with him for a while and found that the dog knew tricks. He could sit, stay, roll over, and lie down according to instructions. He also loved jumping to catch a tennis ball in mid-air. When my parents came home, we showed them the dog and all his tricks. My parents were shocked by his skills as much as we were. None of us had ever seen a dog so well-trained before. The dog got along well with our dogs, and we gave him a comfortable place to sleep in the storeroom.
The next day, I checked the “Lost and Found” column again, also with no result. Then, I called the newspaper and ran a “Found” advertisement describing our new friend.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Three days later, we got a call from a woman who had seen our “Found” advertisement in the newspaper.
