Sarah picked up some seeds and dropped them into her furrow. Step by step, she moved forward along the furrow. The furrow seemed very long to her because the seeds were so small.
Sarah’s mother began to sing a song. Sarah joined her, and the music made planting seeds more fun. When the seeds were all in the furrows, Sarah’s mother covered the seeds with soil. Sarah followed her.
“Now it’s time to water the seeds,” said Sarah’s mother. “The water lets them know it’s time to grow.”

In Shekeng village in Fujian, a small pottery kiln has smoked quietly for more than 200 years. The kiln belongs to the Wu family. Now, a young couple, Wu Zejian and Ma Jingwen, both born in the 1990s, have returned to care for it.
Wu Zejian grew up watching his family make pottery. Then he studied art in Xi’an and learnt about modern design. Last year, he and his wife, Ma, decided to return to their village to take care of the kiln. “ ▲ I believe the fire of our kiln will never go out,” said Wu.
Wu stays true to the old ways. He uses local clay and natural glazes, just like his father and grandfather did. His father, Wu Yusong, has many years of experience. He is always there to help. Ma mainly helps design the pottery. “I want to give each piece a story,” Ma said. “An ordinary cup can become a spiritual symbol for its user.” Together, they mix old skills with fresh design. They hope to create their own brand in the future. They want more people to know and like their pottery.
The smoke is still rising from the kiln, just as it did 200 years ago. But now, it carries something new—the dream of the young couple, the laughter of visitors, and the hope that this small village fire will light a thousand more fires in hearts far away.
28. What do we know about the young couple
A．They are in their 40s. B．They want to close the kiln. C．They are new keepers of the kiln. D．They hate village life.
29. Which sentence fits “ ▲ ”
A．I want to bring new life to this old tradition.
B．I plan to move kilns to big cities.
C．I only want to make money.
D．I think old kilns are old-fashioned.
30. What’s Ma’s main job
A．Design pottery. B．Find glazes. C．Collect opinions. D．Work with workers.
31. Why does the writer write about smoke in the last paragraph
A．To show tradition is still alive.
B．To say the village is dirty.
C．To warn kilns are dangerous.
D．To teach pottery-making.

It’s common for many people to heat their food in plastic containers. However, the environmental organization Greenpeace says this habit may cause health problems.
Many ready-made meals and takeout foods come in plastic containers. Sellers often say these containers are safe to use in a microwave, so people usually place them directly into the microwave. However, Greenpeace warns that this practice may not be safe. According to its research, plastic containers can release very tiny pieces of plastic when they are heated.
Greenpeace looked at 24 recent studies about heating food in plastic containers. The results show that several things can make the problem even worse. More powerful microwaves can cause more pieces of plastic to come out of the container. Heating food for a longer time also allows more pieces of plastic to enter the food. Besides, old or broken plastic containers may release even more pieces of plastic.
Scientists have already found more than 1,000 types of tiny pieces of plastic in different parts of the human body. The health effects of the tiny pieces aren’t yet clear, but experts suggest that they may raise the risk of some cancers and other health problems.
Greenpeace is calling for countries around the world to take action and better protect people’s health. At the same time, we also should be more careful and try not to heat food in plastic containers.
32. What problem does the text talk about
A．Waste plastic boxes. B．Heating food in plastic containers.
C．Eating takeout. D．Using microwaves.
33. Which way is safest
A．Heat food in glass containers.
B．Use new plastic boxes.
C．Heat food shortly in plastic.
D．Use small-power microwaves.
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A．Microplastics are totally safe.
B．Over 1000 people got sick from plastic.
C．We still need more research on plastic’s influence.
D．Scientists found plastic in cancer patients only.
35. What’s the writer’s purpose
A．Introduce healthy food. B．Stop using microwaves.
C．Show plastic studies. D．Warn plastic heating risks.

六、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，根据内容，完成表格中所缺的信息，一空一词。
Chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world, and it is rich in traditions and beliefs. Many of the things you see, hear, or even taste in China may be symbols with special meanings!
Dragons
In many Western stories, dragons are frightening monsters. However, people in China are not frightened of them! Instead, they think dragons are a symbol of power and good fortune. Chinese dragons are so popular in China that you can see them in many places, such as vases, buildings, money, clothes, and jewellery! The word for “dragon” even appears in names and idioms. For example, “to hope that one’s children become dragons” means that parents hope their children will do well in life. In China, people think dragons are so powerful that they call themselves the descendants of the dragon!
The colour red
In China, red is a powerful colour with special meaning. Many people think it brings good luck and wealth, so you will see red decorations such as paper-cuts, couplets, and lanterns during festivals like the Chinese New Year. People think red is so lucky that they wear it during celebrations. At traditional Chinese weddings, both the bride and groom wear red. Red also has positive meanings in other cultures. For example, a red carpet shows importance, and red roses symbolize love. However, in Western culture, red could sometimes mean loss. If a company has “red ink” or is “in the red”, it means that they are losing more money than they are earning.
Lucky numbers
Certain numbers are lucky in China because they sound like other Chinese words with positive meanings. “Six”, for example, sounds like “flow”. It symbolizes things going well. The number “two” is also lucky, because the Chinese believe that good things come in pairs. “Eight” sounds like a word that means “to make a fortune”, and it symbolizes wealth. Lastly, “nine” has the same pronunciation as the character “久”, which means “long-lasting”. So “nine” has come to symbolize a long life. On the other hand, “four” sounds like “death”. Some people find this number so unlucky that they avoid using it in their phone numbers. But China is not the only place with special numbers. In America, for example, “seven” is a lucky number while “thirteen” is an unlucky number.
Cultural 73 In China In the West / other cultures
Dragon Dragons are seen as the symbol of 74 and good fortune in China, and Chinese people call themselves the descendants of the dragon. In Western or other cultures, dragons are frightening monsters.
Red In Chinese culture, the color red stands for good luck and 75 , so people use red paper-cuts, couplets and lanterns during the Chinese New Year. In Western business culture, if a company is “in the red”, it means the company is losing more 76 than it is earning.
Numbers The number “eight” sounds like the Chinese word meaning “to make a fortune”, so it is the symbol of wealth. The number “nine” shares the same pronunciation with the character “久”, so it symbolizes a long 77 . In America, “seven” is a lucky number while “thirteen” is an unlucky number.

My School-Year Journey
In the past school year, I finished reading The Little Prince and took part in park volunteer activities.
From the book, I learned to keep kind to everything around me. As a volunteer, I picked up rubbish and planted small trees in the park. Although tired, I felt happy to make the park cleaner.
These two experiences helped me grow a lot and taught me to love reading and protect the environment.
