Subject：Bonjour!
Bonjour!（That means hello in French．）
We hope you all had a great summer．Ours was a lot of fun．We have seen so many new things and met so many wonderful people．The French gave us a warm welcome and helped us get used to living here soon．We have so many things to share with all of you．We are going to send you more emails，but here are the best parts of our holiday in France so far．
We had a fantastic time seeing the Tour de France this summer．It is the most famous bicycle race in the world．The riders travel more than two thousand miles in about a month!We got a quick look at the riders as they sped past!After the race，our family rented bikes，and rode along part of the route that the cyclists used．
A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails（蝸牛）．The answer is yes．We went out to dinner the other day，and our parents ordered some．We each tried one and it didn't taste too bad．The snails，called escargots，are served with lots of butter．They feel a little rubbery when you bite into them，but they don't really have much taste．Mum's favorite food here is the French pastries．Dad loves the red wine．Our favorite is the fresh bread from the shop down the street．
We went to visit the Eiffel Tower a few weeks ago．We went all the way to the top．It was a sunny day，so we could see for miles and miles into the distance．Dad doesn't like heights，so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground．
We miss all of you a lot．Write back to us and let us know what is new at home．
Au revoir!（Can you guess what that means in French？）

19．The young boy was sitting on the ground in the refugee（難民）camp playing with an empty tin．Other children were standing around watching him with envious（嫉妒的） eyes．
Envy？Of an empty tin？
This tin was indeed no worthless piece of trash-it was a splendid truck，complete with wheels and grille（鐵柵） and floor．The vehicle even had remote control，a frayed piece of string from the"engine"to the hand of the owner．
The tin had lost all its original markings．But its first load had probably been sardines（沙丁魚）．Later the tin had been left with other rubbish behind the refugee camp clinic，and the boy had found it on one of his daily expeditions （探險）into the"big world"．
For thousands of refugee children，a tin 1ike this rates high on their list of wants．It can be used for many purposes，as jewellery（珠寶），as a toy，for drinking or as a medicine box．
Many refugee children would consider it the happiest day of their lives if they received a handful of marbles（彈珠） as a present．
They dream of gifts which children in developed countries take for granted．Maybe a book to read，or a pencil and an exercise book of their very own．
Their imagination can create toys，but it cannot create books．Someone else must provide them．A more costly and valuable gift they cannot imagine．

32．How do you think the young boy may feel when he gets something to read？C
A．depressed        B．frustrated         C．excited           D．frightened

A．had something to play with    B．got some sardines to eat
C．received a handful of marbles D．had a real truck toy
34．What is implied in the last paragraph of the text？D
A．The society should donate some toys for the refugee children．
B．The refugee children are more imaginative rather than creative．
C．The refugee children are more creative rather than imaginative
D．The society should offer the refugee children things for study．
35．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？B
A．An Enviable Toy Present    B．Sardine Tin-A Precious Toy
C．A Splendid Truck Toy       D．A Poor Refugee Camp．

18．The new high speed railway line between Urumqi，capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region，and Lanzhou，capital of Gansu province，has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours．
The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival．
"For the first time，I feel home is not that far away after all，"said Liang shaofu as he boarded a high speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family．
The 35 year old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago，and he has now settled in Urumqi．
The 1，776 km line，which passes through Qinghai province and is the country's first high speed railway built in a high altitude region，came into service on Dec 26．
"We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season，"Liang said．"Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes，so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip．
More than 600，000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month，and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season．
The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development．All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link，leaving the old one to be used for goods．As a result，Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million．
The line passes through areas that experience high winds，and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the bone dry sands of the Gobi Desert．
The project could help China to promote its high speed railway technology abroad，said Ma Xizhang，director of the Lanzhou Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang．
21． How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before？D
A．a(chǎn)bout 12 hours．
B．About 6 hours．
C．About 18 hours．
D．About 24 hours．
22．What's the main advantage of the new high speed railway？D
A．It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou．
B．It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang．
C．All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals．
D．It helps to improve Xinjiang's development．
23．From the passage we can learnB．
A．Xinjiang's annual goods ability can increase nearly four times
B．the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad
C．the high speed railway lines can't be built across the bone dry sands
D．the old railway lines can only carry goods now
24．Which of the following is true according to the passage？C
A．The new high speed railway line is good for all people to go home．
B．The new high speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods．
C．Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou．
D．Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before．
