On the Fast Track
In 2017, the new 480‑kilometre Mombasa‑Nairobi railway was opened. Before then, the only transport links between Mombasa, Kenya’s main port, and Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, were rough roads and an old railway line built in 1901. The old trains were very slow. It took 10 hours to get to Nairobi from Mombasa by train.
However, the new railway, built with China’s help, has already cut the travel time between Mombasa and Nairobi to about four hours for passengers. Now, more than two million people use it every year.
Local Kenyans have benefited a lot from the new railway. A government worker said, “I’m very happy with the new railway built by our Chinese friends. Many changes have taken place in the town over the last few years, and the people who live here have become rich.” A businessman said, “My experience of using the train since 2017 has been good. It is very convenient and doesn’t cost much money. I am able to get to places on time and make business deals with ease.” The railway has also made the transport of food easier. “Food used to take hundreds of lorries to carry between the two cities, but now it takes only two or three trains,” said a supermarket manager. As a result, people now have more fresh food to eat.
Although China and Kenya are far away from each other, the railway shows how different countries can work together to build a better world.
2017年,全长480公里的蒙巴萨‑内罗毕新铁路通车。在此之前,肯尼亚主要港口蒙巴萨与首都内罗毕之间唯一的交通连接是崎岖的道路和1901年修建的老旧铁路。旧火车非常慢,从蒙巴萨乘火车到内罗毕需要10个小时。
然而,在中国帮助下修建的新铁路已经将蒙巴萨到内罗毕的旅行时间缩短到大约4小时。现在每年有超过两百万人使用这条铁路。
肯尼亚当地人大大受益于新铁路。一位政府工作人员说:“我对中国朋友修建的新铁路非常满意。过去几年镇上发生了很多变化,住在这里的人们变富裕了。”一位商人说:“我从2017年开始乘坐火车的体验很好,非常方便,花费也不多。我能准时到达各地,轻松做成生意。”铁路还使食品运输更加便利。“过去运送食品需要几百辆卡车,现在只需两三列火车,”一位超市经理说。结果,人们现在能吃到更多的新鲜食物。
虽然中国和肯尼亚相距遥远,但这条铁路展示了不同国家如何能够共同努力建设更美好的世界。

二.阅读理解
As a child, I spent each Thanksgiving with my large family at my grandparents’ house in Maryland, the US. It’s a cabin (小木屋) on the side of a hill, deep in the forest, above a small and grassy field. For me, that cabin meant Thanksgiving.
Our first greeting was the excited barking of Grandma’s dog, Jesse. He met us at our car and jumped up at us as we carried our bags into the house. Inside were my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Aunt Sue touched my face and told me how big I’d gotten. Grandpa gave me a strong handshake and shouted, “What do you say, Cal?!”, which is the old man’s English for “Hello, Calvin”.
The next day, by the time I woke up, Grandma and Mom had already begun cooking. Throughout the day, we all helped out. The cabin was small, so we had to creatively move the furniture (家具) to make room for everyone to sit at the long table together.
Dinner was finally served at about 4 p.m. Before we ate, Grandma asked each person to say at least one thing that he or she was thankful for. I said, “I’m thankful for my parents, my grandma and the turkey.” I was too hungry to think of anything better. Once everyone finished speaking, we dug in. It was all delicious food. Even better were the homemade apple and pumpkin pies (南瓜派).
After dinner, we took a long walk through the woods around the cabin. Under the late-autumn stars, we made a campfire (篝火) in the field and told stories. I looked up at the hill in the moonlight, and one word appeared in my mind: Thanks.
11.What is the story mainly about?
A.Why food is an important part of culture in the US.
B.What Thanksgiving means to the American people.
C.How the writer celebrated Thanksgiving when he was young.
12.Who was the first outside person to welcome the writer home?
A.Jesse. B.Aunt Sue. C.Grandpa.
13.What did Grandpa mean by what he shouted?

B.He meant to ask about the writer’s age.
C.He was greeted in an old-fashioned way.
14.What does the underlined phrase “dug in” mean?

Zhang Guimei, the principal of Huaping High School for Girls, has been given the title “Role Model of the Times” for helping girls from poor families.

Zhang moved to Lijiang at the age of 17 to teach in the middle school in Huaping County. Once, she got badly ill but had no money for the treatment(治疗). With the help of the people there, she was able to get the necessary treatment. “From then on, I told myself that I must do something for those people who helped me,” Zhang said.
Slowly, a dream of setting up a free high school for girls in Huaping County appeared in Zhang’s heart. From the year of 2002, she began a six-year journey to look for funds (资金). In 2008, Zhang finally set up Huaping High School for Girls at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping.

On the Fast Track
In 2017, the new 480‑kilometre Mombasa‑Nairobi railway was opened. Before then, the only transport links between Mombasa, Kenya’s main port, and Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, were rough roads and an old railway line built in 1901. The old trains were very slow. It took 10 hours to get to Nairobi from Mombasa by train.
However, the new railway, built with China’s help, has already cut the travel time between Mombasa and Nairobi to about four hours for passengers. Now, more than two million people use it every year.
Local Kenyans have benefited a lot from the new railway. A government worker said, “I’m very happy with the new railway built by our Chinese friends. Many changes have taken place in the town over the last few years, and the people who live here have become rich.” A businessman said, “My experience of using the train since 2017 has been good. It is very convenient and doesn’t cost much money. I am able to get to places on time and make business deals with ease.” The railway has also made the transport of food easier. “Food used to take hundreds of lorries to carry between the two cities, but now it takes only two or three trains,” said a supermarket manager. As a result, people now have more fresh food to eat.
Although China and Kenya are far away from each other, the railway shows how different countries can work together to build a better world.
2017年,全长480公里的蒙巴萨‑内罗毕新铁路通车。在此之前,肯尼亚主要港口蒙巴萨与首都内罗毕之间唯一的交通连接是崎岖的道路和1901年修建的老旧铁路。旧火车非常慢,从蒙巴萨乘火车到内罗毕需要10个小时。
然而,在中国帮助下修建的新铁路已经将蒙巴萨到内罗毕的旅行时间缩短到大约4小时。现在每年有超过两百万人使用这条铁路。
肯尼亚当地人大大受益于新铁路。一位政府工作人员说:“我对中国朋友修建的新铁路非常满意。过去几年镇上发生了很多变化,住在这里的人们变富裕了。”一位商人说:“我从2017年开始乘坐火车的体验很好,非常方便,花费也不多。我能准时到达各地,轻松做成生意。”铁路还使食品运输更加便利。“过去运送食品需要几百辆卡车,现在只需两三列火车,”一位超市经理说。结果,人们现在能吃到更多的新鲜食物。
虽然中国和肯尼亚相距遥远,但这条铁路展示了不同国家如何能够共同努力建设更美好的世界。

二.阅读理解
As a child, I spent each Thanksgiving with my large family at my grandparents’ house in Maryland, the US. It’s a cabin (小木屋) on the side of a hill, deep in the forest, above a small and grassy field. For me, that cabin meant Thanksgiving.
Our first greeting was the excited barking of Grandma’s dog, Jesse. He met us at our car and jumped up at us as we carried our bags into the house. Inside were my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Aunt Sue touched my face and told me how big I’d gotten. Grandpa gave me a strong handshake and shouted, “What do you say, Cal?!”, which is the old man’s English for “Hello, Calvin”.
The next day, by the time I woke up, Grandma and Mom had already begun cooking. Throughout the day, we all helped out. The cabin was small, so we had to creatively move the furniture (家具) to make room for everyone to sit at the long table together.
Dinner was finally served at about 4 p.m. Before we ate, Grandma asked each person to say at least one thing that he or she was thankful for. I said, “I’m thankful for my parents, my grandma and the turkey.” I was too hungry to think of anything better. Once everyone finished speaking, we dug in. It was all delicious food. Even better were the homemade apple and pumpkin pies (南瓜派).
After dinner, we took a long walk through the woods around the cabin. Under the late-autumn stars, we made a campfire (篝火) in the field and told stories. I looked up at the hill in the moonlight, and one word appeared in my mind: Thanks.
