课时达标(十一) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 主题语境：传统节日　难度：☆☆☆　 限时：5_min (2021·湖南9月百校联考) Songkran Duration: from April 12 to 15, 2020 in Phuket (The dates vary depending on the regions)． Location: Songkran is the Thai New Year. The entire country gets a lot of days off, and most Thai people will be going back home to celebrate Songkran with their families. Just expect a lot of traffic jams on the road as everyone is out on pick­up trucks, throwing water at each other. Details: Staring in the early morning on April 13th, the water ceremony will take many forms. Initially, you are only supposed to sprinkle(洒) your family with a tiny cup of water at home. It's good luck. Then you sprinkle a statue of Buddha very respectfully and do a little pray. Later in the morning, the game starts to change. Because this is the hottest time of the year, sprinkling each other with water is a lot of fun. Add a little beer to that and Songkran turns into a country­wide water war. It starts rather gently in Phuket Town around 10 a．m., turning to water dogfights(混战) in the afternoon in Patong, Kata and Karon, and ends full­scale wet war zone in Bangla Road until late at night. Survival Tips： ★ Don't drive a bike if you can avoid it. It's slippery and the tendency to close eyes when water is thrown at you is dangerous. ★ Get a waterproof camera. ★ Be aware of major traffic jams in towns, mostly in Patong Beach. ★ Don't carry anything that doesn't resist water. ★ Don't wear expensive clothing. ★ Be aware of the sun! ★ Have fun! Don't take it too seriously, it's good. 语篇导读：本文为应用文，介绍了泰国泼水节和参加泼水节的一些注意事项。 1. Why do traffic jams happen during Songkran? A．The road is slippery. B．The entire country gets a lot of days off.
