She looks at the photo of Tom sitting on the sofa in his living room and she says, “How can I find you, Tom ”
She thinks of searching on Google but there are millions of people called Tom and she doesn’t know his surname. She thinks of going to his parents’ house but the town council pulled down these houses years ago when they built the motorway. And then she remembers something---the Kiwi key ring. Tom has the Kiwi key ring from the time capsule. If she enters the key number at the Kiwi Internet site, maybe she can find him.
Jan logs on to the Internet and goes to the Kiwi Technology website. She follows the links to the key ring section of the site. The page asks Jan to enter the key ring number. Her dad used the same number as her phone to make it easy to remember. She enters the number and clicks on “Go”. A few seconds later a message appears: Kiwi key ring located! The Kiwi key ring you are looking for is located at Kiwi Technology, Port Prime.
Jan stares at the computer screen. “Oh, no!” she thinks, “It’s not working. ” But then she thinks, “Maybe Tom works at Kiwi. ” She goes downstairs and finds her mum and dad having coffee in the kitchen.
“Mum Dad Is there anyone at Kiwi called Tom ” Her mum looks at dad, surprised by the question.
“Why…yes. There are a few people called Tom working there. ”
“There’s Tom Bradley in our department… and Thomas Duncan in accounts… and Tom Green, of course. ”
“Who’s Tom Green ” Jan asks.
“Michael Green’s father, you know, the boy in your class at school. ”
Jan can see Michael smiling at her from the back of the classroom and suddenly there’s something familiar about his face.
“Yes, it’s him!”
“Michael Green ”
“No. Tom Green. I’m going to see him, ” Jan says excitedly.
“You can’t see Tom Green. He’s the head of the company. He started the company. He’s an important man. ”

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
Grain Rain (谷雨) is the sixth of the Twenty-four Solar Terms in the traditional Chinese calendar, which falls on April 20 this year. As the last solar term in spring, this period sees the temperature rise and rainfall increase, creating a good environment for plants and animals. Grain Rain is still linked with modern agriculture. It links grain with rain, reflecting an increasing amount of rainfall, which is good for the growth of crops. For farmers, it is a good time to sow.
It might not be so well-known that in Chinese tale an actual “grain rain” was recorded in the story of Cang Jie, who invented the first Chinese characters. Cang Jie created a set of characters from observing the tracks of birds and mammals. After his great invention, grains started to pour down from the sky.
The Grain Rain Day has become a day to honor Cang Jie and the invention of the Chinese language and April 20 has been designated as the annual UN Chinese Language Day since 2010. Chinese characters are a treasure of the spiritual homeland of Chinese people, the thousands of years of Chinese culture, and an important symbol of cultural identity.
Answer the questions according to the passage.
1. Who invented the first Chinese characters according to the passage
2. What usually happens on the day of Grain Rain
3. Do you think the Twenty-four Solar Terms are useful Why or why not

Dear Alan,
I’m excited to hear you are coming to China soon. You plan to travel around in some cities, right Now let me introduce some of them to you.
Xi’an is an ancient city. It is also the city that has the most museums of the four cities. There are also many beautiful old buildings here. Qingdao is a city by the sea. It has beautiful scenery, a pleasant climate and friendly and welcoming people. Shanghai is a busy but crowded city. Although the price here is high, the quality of goods is good. Chengdu is a city where you can feel relaxed. There are many teahouses in which you can chat with friends or do business. In addition, Chengdu is also the hometown of the pandas. Guangzhou is a modern city with numerous snacks, making it a great place to taste food.
I think that travelling by train is the best way to get around, as you can not only enjoy the scenery along the way, but also relax yourself.
I’m looking froward to meeting you and having a good time together!

D．People cannot go to the Great Wall on National Day holiday.
D
Jan puts the things back in the box. Suddenly she remembers the photo of Tom on her phone.
She looks at the photo of Tom sitting on the sofa in his living room and she says, “How can I find you, Tom ”
She thinks of searching on Google but there are millions of people called Tom and she doesn’t know his surname. She thinks of going to his parents’ house but the town council pulled down these houses years ago when they built the motorway. And then she remembers something---the Kiwi key ring. Tom has the Kiwi key ring from the time capsule. If she enters the key number at the Kiwi Internet site, maybe she can find him.
Jan logs on to the Internet and goes to the Kiwi Technology website. She follows the links to the key ring section of the site. The page asks Jan to enter the key ring number. Her dad used the same number as her phone to make it easy to remember. She enters the number and clicks on “Go”. A few seconds later a message appears: Kiwi key ring located! The Kiwi key ring you are looking for is located at Kiwi Technology, Port Prime.
Jan stares at the computer screen. “Oh, no!” she thinks, “It’s not working. ” But then she thinks, “Maybe Tom works at Kiwi. ” She goes downstairs and finds her mum and dad having coffee in the kitchen.
“Mum Dad Is there anyone at Kiwi called Tom ” Her mum looks at dad, surprised by the question.
“Why…yes. There are a few people called Tom working there. ”
“There’s Tom Bradley in our department… and Thomas Duncan in accounts… and Tom Green, of course. ”
“Who’s Tom Green ” Jan asks.
“Michael Green’s father, you know, the boy in your class at school. ”
Jan can see Michael smiling at her from the back of the classroom and suddenly there’s something familiar about his face.
“Yes, it’s him!”
“Michael Green ”
“No. Tom Green. I’m going to see him, ” Jan says excitedly.
“You can’t see Tom Green. He’s the head of the company. He started the company. He’s an important man. ”

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
Grain Rain (谷雨) is the sixth of the Twenty-four Solar Terms in the traditional Chinese calendar, which falls on April 20 this year. As the last solar term in spring, this period sees the temperature rise and rainfall increase, creating a good environment for plants and animals. Grain Rain is still linked with modern agriculture. It links grain with rain, reflecting an increasing amount of rainfall, which is good for the growth of crops. For farmers, it is a good time to sow.
It might not be so well-known that in Chinese tale an actual “grain rain” was recorded in the story of Cang Jie, who invented the first Chinese characters. Cang Jie created a set of characters from observing the tracks of birds and mammals. After his great invention, grains started to pour down from the sky.
The Grain Rain Day has become a day to honor Cang Jie and the invention of the Chinese language and April 20 has been designated as the annual UN Chinese Language Day since 2010. Chinese characters are a treasure of the spiritual homeland of Chinese people, the thousands of years of Chinese culture, and an important symbol of cultural identity.
Answer the questions according to the passage.
1. Who invented the first Chinese characters according to the passage
2. What usually happens on the day of Grain Rain
3. Do you think the Twenty-four Solar Terms are useful Why or why not

书面表达
Dear Alan,
I’m excited to hear you are coming to China soon. You plan to travel around in some cities, right Now let me introduce some of them to you.
Xi’an is an ancient city. It is also the city that has the most museums of the four cities. There are also many beautiful old buildings here. Qingdao is a city by the sea. It has beautiful scenery, a pleasant climate and friendly and welcoming people. Shanghai is a busy but crowded city. Although the price here is high, the quality of goods is good. Chengdu is a city where you can feel relaxed. There are many teahouses in which you can chat with friends or do business. In addition, Chengdu is also the hometown of the pandas. Guangzhou is a modern city with numerous snacks, making it a great place to taste food.
I think that travelling by train is the best way to get around, as you can not only enjoy the scenery along the way, but also relax yourself.
I’m looking froward to meeting you and having a good time together!
Lin Ta
