His family were doing a spring cleaning of their pretty wooden house in preparation for the Spring Festival of Songkran. They put their hands together in front of the body, like giving wishes, to greet me with a traditional action called the wai. Worawut translated their words for me.April 13That smells wonderful! The women were cooking Thai foods for today’s festival opening ceremonies. We men went to the river and brought lots of sand to the village wat. That was a very beautiful building where the monks (僧侣) lived. We left the sand near the wat. Worawut said I’d soon find out why.April 14We all dressed up and went to the village wat. The monks waited with their bowls at a long table. Monks are used to a life of discipline (纪律), but not today. We filled their bowls with rice and all kinds of delicious foods. Everyone smiled and music played as the monks ate.After that, we attended the bathing ceremony. We poured water over little stones. Young people poured some sweet-smelling water into the hands of older people to show respect for them. Outside, everyone used the sand we brought to make sand pagodas (塔). We put flowers, flags, and stones on ours. It was beautiful.April 15Today was the last day of the festival, and Worawut told me to get ready for some water throwing. We put lots of water on the truck and drove into the village. Everyone was throwing water. We got all wet! On such a hot day the water felt really good. I didn’t feel tired at all! I can’t wait to come back next year!4．Which picture can best describe the underlined word “wai” in Para.1?A．B．C．D．5．How many days does the festival last?A．One day.B．Two days.C．Three days.D．Four days. 6．What’s the right order according to the journals?★They attended the bathing ceremony.★The family cleaned the house.★They went to throw water in the village.★They provided food for monks.A．★★★★B．★★★★C．★★★★D．★★★★7．What does Paul think of his holiday?A．Exciting but tiring.B．Wonderful and worthy.C．Boring but surprising.D．Uncomfortable and tiring.If you look up at the night sky from a busy city street, you’ll see a few stars shining brightly. Do the same thing in the countryside or from a mountaintop, and you’ll see a lot more of them. Just how many stars are there in space? You could try counting them yourself if you want, but it’s probably a better idea to ask the experts at the European Space Agency (ESA). It has come up with its own estimates (估计) on the number of stars in our universe (宇宙).According to the ESA, there could be as many as 1022 to 1024 stars in the universe. However, this is only an estimate. Remember that Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity tells that time is not continuous. So experts might be counting stars and galaxies (星系) that disappeared a long time ago.This number includes stars that are much larger than our sun, and others that are much smaller. It considers trillions (万亿) of galaxies that are spread out across our universe. Someof these galaxies are considered to be Dwarf Galaxies because they have as few as 10 million stars. Others are Giant Galaxies because they have more than a trillion stars.The ESA estimate also includes the Milky Way, and it is our home galaxy. According to ESA scientists, it is made up of at least 100 billion stars. In fact, our sun is a medium-sized star in it. It is a member of the white cloud of stars which can sometimes be seen across a moonless night sky.Many stars have planets around them. In fact, some scientists believe that there are as many planets as stars out there. Perhaps there is life on these planets, just waiting to be discovered. If that’s it, maybe there are a few alien scientists who can give us an exact answer about the number of stars in the universe.8．How many stars do Giant Galaxies have?A．1022 to 1024.B．10 million.C．More than a trillion.D．At least 100 billion.9．What does “it” in Para.4 refer to?A．The planet.B．The ESA．C．The Milky Way.D．The star. 10．What can we infer from the passage?A．We know the exact number of stars from alien scientists.B．Einstein’s Theory of Relativity tells the number of the stars.C．There are different galaxies according to the number of stars.D．The European Space Agency gives us exact numbers of the stars.11．What’s the best title of this passage?A．A New Star is Born in space.B．Count the uncountable stars.C．Welcome to the Milky Way.D．The European Space Agency.Many people have the impression (印象) that sharks are man-eating monsters (怪兽) that pull swimmers down to eat them. This is far from the truth, however, and has largely been made by Hollywood movie producers who use this false image to add the feeling of fear and danger to their movies.In fact, many sharks will only feed on already dead animals. Some, like the huge whale shark, have no teeth and are harmless to nearly everything. Out of over 470 kinds of sharks, only some will attack (攻击) humans: the great white shark, oceanic whitetip shark, tigershark, and bull shark. These kinds of huge and powerful sharks can cause serious injuries. However, these usually avoid humans as we are not a part of their natural diet. In most cases of shark attacks, the shark mistakes a human for marine mammal (海洋哺乳动物). After taking a bite (咬), it usually will soon know its mistake and stop attacking a human. The number of shark attacks every year is about four, and if you compare this to the number of sharks killed each year by humans over a hundred million —it’s the sharks who should be scared of us, not the other way around.More than 600 people die every year from snake bite in Sri Lanka alone. Falling fruits kill about 150 people every year, and about 40,000 Americans die each year in car accidents. Experts even say that you are far more likely to die from a bee than a shark attack.So what does this mean? Like all dangerous animals, sharks must be well treated, but in fact, they are nothing like the killing machines that they are made out to be in the movies. Sharks are amazing animal. They’ve been around for over 420 million years, and they have excellent problem-solving skills. It’s time we stop seeing sharks as sea monsters. 12．What causes our wrong impression of sharks?A．The huge whale sharks.B．Some Hollywood Movies.C．The sharks’ natural diet.D．The number of shark attacks.13．What can we know about sharks?A．Only four kinds of sharks may attack humans.B．Whale sharks are harmful to nearly everything.C．About four sharks are killed by humans each year.D．Some sharks still eat humans after they know mistakes.14．Why does the writer use a lot of numbers in Para.3?A．To show people are easy to die.B．To show accidents are everywhere.C．To show car accidents are serious.D．To show sharks are not so dangerous.15．What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A．Sharks are like dangerous animals.B．Sharks are great sea animals.C．Humans should be scared of sharks.D．Sharks are good for humans.二、阅读还原6选5阅读下面的短文，从所给的选项中选择合适的小标题填入第31-35小题（选项中有一项是多余选项)。
