truly strange place waiting to be explored.In addition to offering a lot of extraordinary locations and people, it also offers interesting festivals celebrated by people in various parts of the world.Here is a list of the oddest festivals that can be found around the world.Cheese Rolling Festival：A festival that is surely going to leave you with a sore neck if not a broken one！Celebrated in England，the Cheese Rolling Festival is something that you would rather watch than take part in.Okay！Heres how it goes.Officials set a big cheese wheel to roll down a steep hill and participants run after it.The first one to catch it wins the competition and the cheese.Simple？Well，try it out and you will know!The Monkey Buffet：Now heres a country that actually feeds monkeys to their hearts content instead of chasing them away.Celebrated in Thailand，the Monkey Buffet is an annual event that brings together a lot of locals who offer fruit and vegetables to over 600 monkeys.Its a great feast as the monkeys dig into almost 3,000 kilograms of fruit and vegetables.The people of Thailand believe this is a way to honor the Monkey King called Hanuman.La Tomatina：Heres your golden chance to get_even_with your friends who sprayed (喷洒)paint on you on your birthday.Celebrated in Spain，the month of August has nearly 250 pounds of tomatoes go down the drain(被浪费掉)in what is perhaps the largest tomato fight in the world.The event is conducted in the town of Bunyol and attracts nearly 30,000 tourists around the world in addition to locals.Truckloads of tomatoes arrive and you are ready to go.The entire area is covered with slush and tomatoes within minutes.Its a good time to have fun with friends and family.1Whats the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo discuss some

with” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_”Ahave a great time with Bpay backCget along well with Dmake peace withBEat，drink and be merry.Thats what the Spring Festival is all about.But there are millions of people，too，who love to let happiness go up in smoke.Offering cigarettes to guests is a traditional Chinese way of showing respect to them.A cup of tea and cigarettes are perhaps the most common way of welcoming a guest in China，especially on festive occasions.No wonder 40 percent of the people surveyed recently said they would smoke at least twice the usual number of cigarettes during the Spring Festival because of all those gatherings and parties.Only 20 percent of the respondents said they would refuse a cigarette when offered one.Why cant the others do the same？Because they could be seen as being rude according to more than half of the respondents.15 percent feared they could be taken as “someone who cannot get along well with others”The Think Tank Research Center for Health Development and .survey shows 61 percent Chinese think offering a cigarette is useful for socializing，and 52 percent have offered cigarettes to others.The study surveyed 3,800 people,64 percent of them men.Onethird of those surveyed were smokers，out of which 57 percent said they couldnt give up smoking because of the offeringandaccepting culture.“People have accepted offering cigarettes as an effective way of making friends，”Research Center director Wu Yiqun says.China has more than 350 million smokers, catering to the tobacco market that is worth 500 billion yuan.“The survey shows we still have a lot of work to do，”Wu says.“Since Beijing is trying to make the Olympic Games smokefree，it is time to let people know that offering a cigarette is a bad habit and it should be given up immediately.”6The passage is written with the purpose of _.Atelling us a custom about the Chinese Spring FestivalBintroducing a way to make friends with ChineseCstopping smoking during the Beijing Olympic GamesDtelling us that offering cigarettes is a bad habit7Which of the following may not be the reason that makes many people fail to refuse the offered cigarette?AIts

_.Apeople will be free to smoke during the Beijing Olympic GamesBonly a few smokers still have the habit of offering cigarettes.Coffering cigarettes is the most effective way for socializingDsome nonsmokers will even accept the offered cigarettes详解答案.1.celebrate2.occasion(s)3.power4.serve5.wedding6.tradition7.graduation8.included.1.选D考查固定搭配。句意：“你听说汤姆通过驾照考试了吗？”“啊！他真了不起！我这就去就此祝贺他。”congratulate
