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(蜗牛).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.Thesnails,calledescargots,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’sfavourite food here is the French pastries.Dad loves the red wine.Ourfavourite 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?)Wendy and Jack Brown29.What do the Browns think of French people?A.Friendly.B.Funny.C.Welcome.D.Popular.30.Jack’s favourite food in France is .A.tasty snailsB.French pastriesC.fresh breadD.red wine31.Which of the following is NOT true according to the email?A.Wendy and Jack got used to the life in France soon.B.Tour de France is the best-known bicycle race in the world.C.The Browns have seen many wonderful things in France.D.The Browns went to the top of the Eiffel Tower together.32.Wendy and Jack wrote this email to .A.tell a story about riding bicycles in FranceB.tell a story about their experiences in FranceC.advise the readers to try escargots in FranceD.advise the readers to visit France in summerCIt was Christmas Eve.When everyone we nt to bed,Bunny couldn’t fall asleep.He still couldn’t think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present.He wondered how Santa―Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.As he was sitting up in bed,Bunny heard a big noise on the roof(屋顶) and a sound downstairs.It was Santa Claus,herealized.Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs.He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs,everything was silent again.Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree,but Santa was gone.A little disappointed(失望的),Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.“Hello,” said Bunny.“Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry.Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise.Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes.It also had antlers(鹿角) on its head.Bunny almost mistook it for a dog.“Are you a reindeer?” aske d Bunny.“Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers.“My name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santa’s sled(雪橇)?”“I was until I got airsick,” replied Ralph.“Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get airsick? I mean,isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”“Not me,I’mafraid.It makes me scared.I always feel sick when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph.“But everyone wanted me to pull Santa’s sled,so when it was my turn I gave it a tr y.I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job.Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well,if you like,you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny.As he made theoffer,Bunny suddenly realized the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!33.Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?A.He wanted to take a close look at Santa Claus.B.He was waiting for his special present from his father.C.He was thinking about what present to get from Santa.D.He was woken up by a noise on the roof of his house.34.The underlined phrase “cut out” probably means .A.suitableB.famousC.readyD.bad35.What can we learn from the article?A.Ralph is a brown dog with antlers.B.Ralph is afraid of flying in the air.C.Bunny got a sled as a Christmas present.D.Bunny sent Ralph back to the North Pole.36.This article seems to tell us that .A.Santa lives in the South Pole with his reindeerB.Santa usually puts Christmas presents on the roofsC.Santa uses dogs to bring children presents on Christmas EveD.Santa knows what presents children want without being toldDIn Western society,especially in the English-speaking world,the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important.Many young people,when they finish school at the age of 18,take a gap year before they go to university.Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school.Although they are worried about their safety,many think that the advantages of independence and experience are worth the worries.Children are encouraged to be brave,independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends.Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side.This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side oflife.Forexample,if they have a rich life,they may want to see how people in poor areas live.A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives.A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions,especially when they are unsure about what they want to study.Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university.So anywhere you travel in the world,you will meet young European people exploring the world.So much of the world has been travelled and explored.The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences.Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting.Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand,helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well(井) in a village in Africa.These young people’s wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of.Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind.37.Which is NOT a reason for young people to take a gap year?A.Young people want to take a break from studying.B.Young people want to be sure about what to study.C.Parentsencourage them to be brave and independent.D.Parentsencourage them to live a free and wealthy life.38.Now a gap year volunteer might do something more valuable like .A.experiencing different culturesB.helping protect rainforests in BrazilC.making friends with more peopleD.enjoying traditional local food39.By taking a gap year,young people may .A.stay with their parents all the timeB.make money for their further studyC.help change the world for the betterD.change the Western mind completely40.The purpose of writing this article is to .A.show different opinions about gap yearB.offerreaders information about gap yearC.discover new ways to take a gap yearD.tell young people when to take a gap yearIV、单词拼写(本大题共10小题，共10.0分)41.Helen (点头) with a smile when she met me.42.Becky (明智地) decided to tell us the truth.43.Justin lay back and enjoyed the (安宁) of the summer evening.44.The bank is (在……对面) the supermarket,on the other side of the road.45.My cousin used to be very interested in (收集) postcards.46.Edison is one of the greatest (发明家) in the world.47.Mr.Green often (惩罚) his children by not letting them play games.48.―Thanks for lending me the book Black Beauty.―Don’t it.49.―What’s the of the elephant?―About t wo tons.50.―Have you drunk all the milk?―Yes.Look,the bottle is now.V、翻译(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)51.我们一到学校就会交作业。
