You can possibly see the biggest Bangkok crowd lines and streets with water guns and powder (粉), ready to wash away all the bad things of the past year. The national party is in true Thai style... Crazy If you are looking for a place to experience water everywhere with loud music and lots of festival activities for free, head over to Songkran and walk down the street. You can go to some side streets where it’s quieter, with restaurants and bars still celebrating the festival. Won’t go again, but worth seeing it. SO MUCH FUN! I’m from India and Holi is a similar festival in my country, but I never imagined that a whole country can break into a crazy water fight with such great excitement! Complete madness During the festival, water is everywhere, and there are all kinds of water guns. The place gets busier and I was worried about safety. With so many people on the streets, the government needs to think about how to help people play happily but also safely. 1. Why is the Songkran Festival mainly celebrated? A. To honor the King of Thailand. B. To welcome the rainy season. C. To interest the tourists in Thailand. D. To celebrate the traditional Thai New Year. 2. How does the Indian visitor compare Songkran to a festival in India? A. He thinks Songkran is more dangerous than Holi. B. He believes Holi is more fun than Songkran. C. He says Songkran is more nationwide than Holi. D. He thinks Songkran is a copy of Holi. 3. Why does gordonj258 worry about the safety of Songkran? A. Because people use dirty water. B. Because the streets are too crowded. C. Because people use guns and powder. D. Because there are some unhappy people B Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In a large family, it is quite common for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they only go to their friends for ideas. Sometimes cousins live far away, so friends become the ready-made “brothers” and “sisters” who share daily jokes and secrets. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking to each other on the phone, texting messages late into the night or playing online games together. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because they can not discuss something difficult — such as first love, bad marks, or body changes — with their family members. Friends offer quick comfort and the feeling of being understood. Parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them, hoping to keep them away from trouble. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends by planning extra lessons or family trips at the very hour of the planned get-together. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions? Who chooses your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like? Your answers are welcome. 4. Why do teenagers think friends are the most important people? A. They believe friends know them better. B. They think parents have too many children. C. They don’t like to live with their cousins. D. They like to know about others’ secrets. 5. What can we infer (推断) from paragraph 2? A. Talking online is the safest way for teenagers to communicate. B. Without friends, teenagers might keep difficult feelings to themselves. C. Teenagers with no friends often discuss difficult topics with cousins. D. Late-night texting is one main reason why friendship matters so much. 6. What does the underlined word “extra” probably mean? A. difficult, hard to pass B. expensive, high-priced C. interesting, full of fun D. added, more than usual 7. What does the writer want to tell readers by “Your answers are welcome.”? A. Your answers are always right. B. You can give us all the right answers. C. You are welcome to have a discussion with us. D. You have got an idea, so your answers are welcome. C Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However, the true movie capital is Mumbai in India. Mumbai was once called Bombay, and the movie business there is often called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many films each year as Hollywood—more than 1,000 films a year. The films from Bollywood are very different from those made by Hollywood companies. For one thing, Bollywood films are much longer than most Hollywood films. Most Bollywood films are over three hours long and include singing, dancing, action, excitement, mystery, and love stories (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films have so many different parts, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film—“masala” is an Indian word for a mix of spices (香辛料). Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood films is how the films are made. It takes much longer to create a film in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may start on a Bollywood film before the story is even finished. The director and writers can create the story as the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the story by hand instead of taking time to type it. Bollywood actors are very famous, and some are in such high need that they may work on several films at the same time. They may even film scenes for different films on the same day using the same costumes (服装) and backgrounds. Since most Bollywood films use the same kind of story, filming scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the price of Bollywood films lower than the price of Hollywood films. The typical Bollywood film, with a cost of about two million U. S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the typical cost of nearly 70 million U.S.dollars for a Hollywood film! 8. How many films are made by Hollywood each year according to the passage? A. About 500. B. Over 1000. C. 1,500 or so. D. Around 2000. 9. Why are some Bollywood films called “masala” films? A. They are usually about Indian food and cooking. B. They mix something from different styles of movies. C. They are much longer than Hollywood movies. D. They are only made in the city of Mumbai. 10. One of the reasons Bollywood movies are cheap to make is ________. A. they are shorter than Hollywood movies B. the movies do not use famous actors C. the stories are written by hand D. some things are reused in different movies 11. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Hollywood is no longer the capital of the movie world. B. Indian films are the most popular in the world. C. There are many famous directors in Bollywood. D. Bollywood makes films in a different way from Hollywood. D The first clear written signs of a soccer-like game come from China. In the second and third centuries B.C., Chinese soldiers played a game in which they needed to kick a ball into a small net. Historians think the game was a skill-building exercise for the soldiers. In old Greece and Rome, teams of up to 27 players played a soccer-like game. In Britain hundreds of years later, during the thirteenth century A.D., whole villages played against each other. With hundreds of people on the field, these games were long and hard. Kicking, hitting with hands, and biting were common and allowed. In 1331, English King Edward III passed a law to try to put a stop to the popular but rude game. One hundred years later, the king of Scotland also spoke against it. Queen Elizabeth I, during the late 1500s, passed a law that called for a week of jail (监狱) for anyone caught playing “football,” the name used for soccer then. But the game could not be stopped. Two hundred and fifty years later, people in Britain were still playing a game we now know as soccer. A well-known English college, Eton, developed a set of rules in 1815. Many other schools soon agreed to use the same rules and played games among themselves. Finally, 50 years later, a formal association (联盟) was set up to watch over the playing of the game and its rules. In 1869, a new rule against touching the ball with the hands changed the game into the sport of soccer that is wildly popular all around the world. 12. Where was the earliest soccer game played in China? A. On the streets. B. In the fields. C. In the army. D. At schools. 13. What was the kings and queen’s attitude toward the game between the 14th and 16th centuries? A. They thought the game helped train future soldiers. B. They used the game to keep people in good health. C. They believed the game would increase trade income. D. They regarded the game as too wild to be acceptable. 14. What happened to soccer in Britain in 1815? A. Colleges played with the same rules. B. Soccer games were started. C. “Soccer” is used instead of “football”. D. Players were set free from jails. 15. What change did the 1869 rule bring to the game? A. It cut down the number of players to 27. B. It didn’t let players use their hands on the ball. C. It required all villages to join one formal club. D. It shortened the time of the game to ninety minutes. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Scientists say that hobbies can make kids smarter, healthier and even more successful when they grow up.

It is said that Meng Tian, a general (将军) of the Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on horseback. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (踪迹) on the ground. Suddenly, Meng Tian got the idea from the rabbit’s tail. “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of cloth. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on cloth. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 41.

In my opinion, digital inventions like tablets bring us great convenience as long as we use them properly. Last term, I was stuck on a difficult math problem. I turned to my tablet to look up detailed explanations online. With clear steps provided, I grasped the key knowledge fast and gradually improved my math grades. Yet I also find overusing it hurts our eyes and wastes study time. So we ought to make wise use of such tools rather than rely on them blindly. They are helpful helpers, not something we should follow completely. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
