Messages from Thailand

Message 1: March 24^th

Hi everybody.

Greetings from Thailand! We arrived here tired but excited. This is our first trip to Asia and the people here are so friendly. All the different sights and smells make us feel like trying the food. We are looking forward to eating Thai food for dinner tonight. The owners told us about some places that we shouldn’t miss. We plan to stay here in Bangkok (曼谷) for a few days, and then travel to the north.

Message 2: March 27^th

Hi, everybody.

Thailand is fantastic! The different Buddha status (佛像) are wonderful to look at. We visited Jatujak Market in Bangkok. Everything there was so colorful and we took lots of pictures. Later today we took the train to the north. We’ll stay in Chiang Mai (清迈) for four days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai (清莱). We’re going to go hiking in the mountains.

Message 3: April 4^th

Hi, everybody.

Now we’re in the old capital city of Bangkok. After hiking around the mountains, it’s nice to have accommodation with electricity (电) and a shower to have a good rest! Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and tiring. From there, we took a bus to a small village in the mountains, where we met some hill tribe (部落) people who live a simple life - no electricity or telephones. They are the kindest, friendliest people I’ve ever met. Everyone smiles and says “hello”.

Message 4: April 6^th

Hi, everybody.

________ I would love to stay here longer, but we’re both ready for the beach. Tomorrow we’ll take the train back to the south, and then we’re going to Phuket (普吉) Island. It has many beaches, and it’s famous for seashells. Thailand is an amazing country with so many different things - big modem cities and small traditional towns, mountains, forests and the seashores. Three weeks here isn’t enough at all!

【解析】

本文记录了去泰国旅行的情况。作者到达这里时很累但很兴奋，这是他们第一次去亚洲，这里的人很友好。食物好吃，风景美，还有不同的佛像；去清迈的旅行又长又累，当地的人是他见过的最善良、最友好的人；普吉岛有许多海滩，而且以贝壳闻名；我还想再去泰国旅游。

1.词义猜测题。根据“it’s nice to have accommodation with electricity (电) and a shower to have a good rest”洗个澡好好休息一下，所以此处是宾馆，故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据“ The different Buddha status (佛像) are wonderful to look at”可知看到佛像；根据“We’re going to go hiking in the mountains.”可知看到山；根据“It has many beaches, and it’s famous for seashells”可知看到海滩；故选D。

3.推理判断题。A. Bangkok is really a wonderful city with lots to see.曼谷是一个非常棒的城市，有很多值得一看的地方；B. I am looking forward to coming to Thailand again.我期待着再次来到泰国；C. How I love the food in Chiang Mai!我多么喜欢清迈的食物啊；D. Chiang Rai is a small place with beautiful views.清迈是一个风景优美的小地方；根据第三个“Now we’re in the old capital city of Bangkok…”可知作者在曼谷玩的很开心，此处有很多值得玩的地方，故选A。
