阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  If you are a wealthy resident of India, madly in love and planning your big fat wedding-or being pressured into arranged marriage-Thailand wants you to exchange vows(誓言)in Bangkok, Phuket or elsewhere in this "wedding Paradise(乐园)".

  This wedding business starts from overseas with the Indians.Thai embassies in India give quick services for the visas.Not only the couples, you can bring anyone, say, your own cook.So, feel free to invite hundreds of your friends and relatives.

  Why would Indians want to spend so much on weddings in Thailand? Because they have similarities in religion.When Indian weddings want to have some religious prayer for the couples, Thailand can do that.But the more obvious appeal are Thailand's fancy hotels, tropical islands, and delicious Thai food, allowing newlyweds to include a honeymoon in Thailand after they say "I do" while their guests also celebrate on a holiday here.But on the other hand, love does have a price.

  Kasu Rajagopal arranged for his daughter to have a wedding in Phuket.They arranged entertainment to begin three days before the wedding, because guests' arrival time varied.Yachts were chartered to take guests to small islands, while a DJ, flown in from Bangalore, India, was booked to help them dance in the evening.Kasu also arranged priests for the Hindu wedding, and cooks to prepare Indian food.The approximate costs are around half a million U.S.dollars, including the airfares, hotel accommodation, food, transportation, the yachts on hire and the wedding ceremony expenses, for 225 to 250 guests.

  Thailand wants to make itself a wedding paradise for all couples, not just from India, but from around the world.Last year, there were around 500 to 600 couples from China, and the numbers are slowly coming up.Westerners also arrive to get married, but in much smaller numbers.

(1)

What is the main reason why the Indians would go to Thailand for weddings?

[  ]

A.

They will be pressured into arranged married in India.

B.

India shares the same religion as Thailand.

C.

Thailand offers them more than just a wedding ceremony.

D.

Guests are not satisfied with Indian weddings.

(2)

We can learn from the passage that ________.

[  ]

A.

guests do not need visas to get into Thailand

B.

changing vows is a necessary step for an Indian wedding

C.

islands are people's first honeymoon destination choice

D.

some Indians prefer the food prepared by their own cooks

(3)

Kasu Rajagopal's example in the fourth paragraph shows ________.

[  ]

A.

it may cost you a fortune to have such a wedding

B.

you can bring whatever you want to Thailand

C.

what Thailand offers hardly satisfies customers' needs

D.

there are quite a few activities after the wedding

(4)

It can be predicted that ________.

[  ]

A.

cost of weddings in Thailand will be reduced

B.

more people will get married in Thailand

C.

fewer westerners will have Thai weddings

D.

Chinese will be Thailand's No.l customers

  If you are planning to study in the United States. you need to consider several factors(因素). Everyone has different opinions about the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography, your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.

  Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.

  California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in southern California is another story though. Life in L. A. is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me. I enjoyed the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture: The weather is not as perfect as in California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Midwest. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In additon, there are many good universities there.

  Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won't like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you probably should stay away from America's larger cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D. C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it. The place where you live could be the difference between a great study abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.

(1)From the first paragraph we can conclude that in the USA ________.

[  ]

A.all colleges and universities lie in big cities

B.all colleges and universities lie in beautiful places

C.famous colleges and universities lie in nice places

D.famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places

(2)What should be considered first if you want to study in the USA? ________

[  ]

A.The climate.
B.The scenery.
C.Studying conditions.
D.Living conditions.

(3)From the third paragraph we can find that California is ________.

[  ]

A.the best place to live in
B.the worst place to live in
C.a state with different climates
D.a small state in the USA

(4)If you study in Middle America, you can probably ________.

[  ]

A.find the best universities

B.feel the real character of the nation

C.meet the most famous professors there

D.face more difficulty

  When you are at odds with someone close to you, the One-Minute Drill can show you how to express your feelings effectively-and how to listen more skillfully.All it requires is two individuals who are committed to improving their relationship.

  Set aside at least ten minutes, and then sit facing each other.Decide who will be the Talker and who will be the Lastener.It makes no difference, because later you will change roles.

  How to perform the One-Minute Drill

  For approximately 30 seconds, the Talker can say anything he or she wants.Your job will be to express your thoughts and feelings.You can discuss problems you've had a hard time talking about.Remember to limit yourself to about 30 seconds.When the Talker finishes, the Listener will summarize what the Talker just said, as well as how the Talker was feeling inside, as accurately as possible.

  The Talker now gives the Listener a grade between 0 and 100 percent to indicate how accurate the summary was.If the rating is 95 percent or more, you can change roles; the new Talker can continue with the same topic or move on to something entirely new.

  However, if the grade is below 95 percent, the Talker should point out what the Listener missed or got wrong, and repeat the process until the overall rating is 95 percent or more.Then you can change roles and repeat the exercise for as long as you both like.

  How it works

  Thirty seconds of emotionally charged information is sufficiently challenging for anyone.Express your feelings in strong, clear, direct language, but as your partner will be listening attentively, you won't need to shout, exaggerate or put your partner down.

  The Listener should sit and listen respectfully without interrupting.Look into your partner's eyes, but avoid using negative body language.If you like, take a few notes.

  So the Talker might say:“When I come home from work, I feel tired and I need some quiet time.But you tell me I'm supposed to spend time with the kids.This makes me feel frustrated.I work hard and I'm exhausted at the end of the day.I feel like I deserve a little time to relax, not listen to more demands.”

  In response, the Listener might summarize like this:“You just told me that you feel exhausted when you come home at night because you've been working hard all day.When l tell you l want you to spend time with the kids, you feel frustrated and ticked off because you're tired and you need time to relax.You see me as very demanding, and you're probably feeling like I don't appreciate you.”

  The first time you attempt the One-Minute Drill, you may get a low score.Don't worry, because you'll get up to speed quickly.Once you've tried this exercise a few times, you'll find that you can nearly always get ratings of 95 percent or better on the first or second try.

(1)

Who is the One-Minute Drill intended for?

[  ]

A.

Those who are preparing for the interview in order to make a good first impression.

B.

Those who have difficulty communicating with their colleagues or family members.

C.

Those who have troubled relationships with their friends or family members and try to improve them.

D.

Those who are to act some roles in a certain play for the first time in their life.

(2)

Which of the following is NOT true?

[  ]

A.

The Talker should talk about his/her thoughts and feelings in a brief way.

B.

The Listener should listen carefully, respectfully and later summarize accurately.

C.

After the Talker finishes talking, the Listener is to give him/her a grade.

D.

In the One-Minute Drill, the Talker and the Listener change roles in the process.
