Their hands are spinkled with perfumed(有香味的) water. In addition, this festival is for rain because it is the hottest season. Nowadays, during the Songkran Festival, people always wet down everybody who walks past their houses or walks down the streets with cups or buckets of water. Everyone gets wet, but it is all in a spirit of friendliness, blessing and fun. People who get wet actually do not get angry because they know that it is traditional.People will go to the temples to bathe Buddha images and give special food to the monks. People do good things such as fish or birds and other animals released from their cages. On this day, everywhere in Thailand, people celebrate and enjoy the festival, especiallly in the northern part of Thailand.

Like speaking, its to exchange ideasPeople generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writingThe important thing is to make your idea in your head and then to write it in clear lively languageX|k |B| 1 . c|O |mChinese students read far too slowlyIf you read fast, you understand betterIf you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is aboutWhen you meet with new words, dont look them up in the dictionaryGuess the meaning from the contextYou may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearerIf you look up every word, youll never finish a bookStudents of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language theyre studyingThey should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translationIn this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time46. How many points are there in the passage? ATwo BThree CFour DFive47. In his first point the writer told us Ahow to speak English Bhow to read and writeCwhy spoken English is important Dwhy English people couldnt understand Lenin48. In his last point the writer advised us Ato kill two birds with one stone Bto learn two languages at a timeCto study all the subjects in a foreign languageDto get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying49. In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on Ahow to read fasterBhow to guess the meaning from the contextChow to look up new words in the dictionary D. how to grasp the general meaning of a passage50. “To kill two birds with on stone” means Ato get some particular knowledge Bto get more than what one paysCthe stone is too big Dthe birds are blind enough COver the next 50 years, it will become hard to tell the difference between the human and the machine. All body parts will be replaceable. Computers will be able to recognize feelings and respond in a feeling way as the human brain does. They will then produce false people exactly like originals. We will then be able to create a machine duplicate of ourselves, so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. We can also choose to live for as long as we want.By 2070, once one of you is copied, you will just have to press control “D” and you will have two of you. If you want 500, select 500. Naturally, when duplicates are running around all over the place, there will be a food problem. Corrections will have to be made with how you eat. Your duplicates will have to combine vitamins with something we have in abundance(丰富). The most practical choice would be junk. Your corrected duplicate will be designed to eat junk like a goat. But dont worry, your taste changes and sense of smell will be adapted, so you will really enjoy it. You will want to eat lots of junk. When it becomes possible to do a spirit move, they will figure out how to do them automatically. So you will be able to live within whichever duplicate you want, whenever you want and as long as you want.51. What will a computer be like in the future?A. It will function like the human brain.B. It will work with the human brain. C. It will use the human brain.D. It will replace the human brain.52. The underline word “duplicate” in paragraph 1 probably means_.A. the same person B. originalC. a person exactly like another D. an exact copy of a person53. We can know from the first passage that people will be _ in the future.A. dangerous B. permanent C. false D. unnatural54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the 2nd paragraph?A“D” can stand for “double”. B. “D” is stopped from running around.C. People will go hungry. D. People will feed on waste.55. The second paragraph is mainly about_. A. a food problem B. a spirit moveC. duplicated people D. future humansDWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.56. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.57. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT .A. a bad impact on other industriesB. a change of tourists customsC. over crowded of places of interestD. pressure on traffic58. Not enough tourism can lead to .A. an increase of unemploymentB. a decrease in tourist attractionsC. the higher cost of support facilitiesD. a rise in price and a fall in pay59. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will .A. use up large amount of waterB. weaken their economyC. help establish their traditionsD. help improve their life60. The word “handle” in the last paragraph most probably means . A. carry away B. pick up C. get in D. take down第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）X|k |B| 1 . c|O |m下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下列应用文和相关的信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。A.
