Confucius(孔子) lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in today’s Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. 1. His father died when he was only 3 years old. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, 2.但是他没有放弃学习。He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time, only children from noble(贵族的) families could go to school, 3.but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. 4.他是中国历史上最伟大的老师。He told us that we have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas.”

Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker. His most important ideas are about kindness and good manners. At present, more than 100 Internet websites are telling people about him, and his ideas have gone far into east and south Asia.

24、The new high-speed railway connecting Beijing with China’s northeastern provinces not only shortens travel time, but also has high technology and an environmentally friendly design. The new line opened on Friday and showed China’s strong ability to build high-tech and green high-speed railway and infrastructure（基础设施）.

The new line links Beijing with Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin—the capital cities of China’s three northeastern provinces—and shortens travel time between Beijing and Harbin in the northern most Heilongjiang province to less than 5 hours. Two old routes took more than 7 or 8 hours. Trains running on the line will initially travel at a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour, the company said, but then its maximum design speed is 350 km/h.

A part of the route from Harbin to Shenyang, Liaoning, was put into operation in 2012. Another part from Shenyang to Chengde, Hebei, began to serve in 2018. The 192 km part from Chengde to Beijing opened on Friday. To reduce noise from railway operations, engineers designed a 1,840-meter “tunnel-like” sound barrier（屏障）on the part that passes a residential area between Beijing’s fourth and fifth ring roads.

The new line has 46 bridges and 30 tunnels. The station is based on environmentally friendly thoughts, the station’s designer Wang Qingyi said. Also, an electricity-saving system has been used to save energy. Because of the new design, lights are not turned on during the day, when the lobby is bright enough for passengers.

A new type of bullet train that can operate under temperatures as low as -40℃ runs on the line. The new train can endure（忍受）extremely cold weather, and provides Braille on the door of restrooms, said Ren Mengyi, the chief leader.

27、

The whole school was talking about the coming trip at a winter camp. Everyone was excited and looked forward to having fun at the camp. But I was quite nervous about it.

“I’ll hate it,’’ I told my parents. “I’ll get homesick. I’ll look stupid at winter sports, and everyone will laugh at me.”

“You might be surprised, Jessica,” said Mom. “The only way to find out is to try.”

“It’s what growing up is all about,” Dad added.

When arriving at the camp, we were asked to share one fear.

“I’m afraid I'll be homesick,” someone said.

I wasn’t the only one! I began to relax. After lunch, we were asked to ski down to the field. I skied carefully, but I still hit a piece of ice and fell down.

“Ha! Ha!” Behind me, somebody started laughing. I looked back to see who was making fun of me. To my surprise, I saw a girl in the same awkward (尴尬的) position as I was in. “I thought I’d be bad at this, but I’m worse than I expected!” she said.

Suddenly, I started laughing, too. After being so afraid of falling, it was a comfort not to fear it anymore.

At dinner time, I was so happy to be talking about interesting things that I forget to feel homesick.

The next day, I was chosen to try ski jumping first, even though I didn't want to. But when my feet left the ground, I felt I was flying and it was wonderful.

Maybe Mom was right when she said, “You might enjoy it if you give it a chance!’’. We all worry about not fitting in and failing when we try new things. But things are always better than we expected. We should be brave enough to have a try.

【1】The writer felt ______ before the winter camp.

C．relaxed

D．nervous

【2】What happened to the writer when she skied down to the field?

A．She got homesick.

C．She skied first.

D．She hit a girl.

【3】The writer’s story mainly tells us that ______.

A．skiing brings us a lot of fun

B．taking part in a camp is necessary

C．we should be brave to try new things

D．we should do something fun to forget fear

28、   2020 is the Year of the R【1】 in China. I remember when I was a kid, my family once took me to a Chinese restaurant back in the US. There was a paper placemat ( 餐具垫 ) with pictures of the 12 animal s【2】 on it. It led us to laughs when we learned my aunt is a rat.

We laughed, b【3】 in the American culture, rats are animals of very low status ( 地位 ). They eat garbage and carry diseases, so we think they are d【4】. Rats are also sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟), so we don’t think we can believe them. Calling someone a rat is a serious insult ( 辱 骂 ). It m【5】 he or she will betray ( 背叛 ) your trust.

As a kid, this caused me to feel bad for people b【6】 in the Year of the Rat. I wondered if Chinese children would be laughed at for their animal signs.

Then I did some research and found that although Chinese people also see rats as dirty animals, they added them to the animal signs for a r【7】.

According to what I found, rats are considered thrifty (勤俭的) and practical by Chinese people. These are qualities that can bring people wealth. They are also able to have a lot of  b【8】, and this makes them a symbol of  good luck-traditionally,  Chinese people would like to have large families with many children. Rats are believed to be smart, t【9】. Sneaky animals must be clever.

You see, human culture is interesting. There are always d【10】 ways to look at the same thing!
