【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一家在泰国温馨又愉快的旅行经历。
4. 细节理解题。 从第一段 “We travelled in Thailand. The staff at the hotels we stayed in went out of their way to make us feel welcome. You may say that they were just doing their jobs, but this is not how it felt to us.(我们去泰国旅游了。我们住过的酒店的工作人员想尽办法让我们感到受欢迎。你可能会说他们只是在做他们的工作，但这不是我们的感觉)”以及第一段“She explained that the hotel staff would provide us with plates and dishes once we returned. Not only did they provide what we needed, but they also put our food in servicing bowls and took care of the clean-up while we slept. We were grateful and deeply touched by their kindness and care(她解释说，一旦我们回来，酒店工作人员会为我们提供盘子和盘子。他们不仅提供我们需要的东西，而且还把我们的食物放在服务碗里，并在我们睡觉的时候打扫卫生。我们很感激他们的善良和关怀，并深受感动)”可知，作者以宾馆餐厅晚上不开门，而工作人员带他们去买外卖食物为例是为了说明工作人员的体贴入微。故选B。
5. 推理判断题。从第二段“They paid attention to our needs and did their best to ensure our stay was a pleasant one. They were also happy to stop and chat with us, asking questions about our stay, what we had done that day, recommending things for us to do and sharing parts of their personal lives with us.Again, it may be said that their friendliness was part of their job but somehow, I did not feel that was the case. It felt natural, open and honest and I would like to think that they enjoyed our conversations as much as we enjoyed theirs.(他们注意到我们的需要，尽最大努力确保我们住得愉快。他们也很乐意停下来和我们聊天，问一些关于我们住宿的问题，我们那天都做了些什么，给我们推荐一些可以做的事情，和我们分享他们个人生活的一部分。再次，可以说他们的友好是他们工作的一部分，但不知何故，我不觉得情况是这样的。感觉很自然，开放和诚实，我想他们喜欢我们的谈话，就像我们喜欢他们的谈话一样。)”可知，作者与宾馆工作人员的交往看，作者与他们相处得非常好。故选C。
6. 推理判断题。从最后一段“On one of our walks my brother and I were offered bottles of fresh water by one of the locals.

Instead we gave her 20.(在一次散步中，一位当地人给了我和弟弟几瓶淡水。她觉得我们需要它，不想接受她提供的两瓶酒的付款。最后，她同意带10泰铢。我们给了她20块。)”可知，当地人觉得作者与他哥哥渴了，就免费给了他们两瓶饮用水，但是作者给了她 20泰铢，因此这是为了对当地人善良的行为表达感激。故选A。

You may say that they were just doing their jobs, but this is not how it felt to us.(我们去泰国旅游了。我们住过的酒店的工作人员想尽办法让我们感到受欢迎。你可能会说他们只是在做他们的工作，但这不是我们的感觉)”以及全文可知，作者在宾馆与工作人员相处的情况以及当地人免费赠给他们水来看，作者在泰国的经历是令人愉快的。故选D。

28. Dear Ellen,
I know how you feel. Sometimes there is a difference between the people we hang around with and us. As a result, we may feel torn between being ourselves and being forced to follow suit. However, it is important to remember that it is natural.
First, ask yourself if it is really worth being upset that you are not close to people with whom you have very little in common. Then stay strong and positive. There are plenty of people with the same interests and hobbiesas you out there. Also, I’m proud of you: Short videos are incredibly addictive and everyone should avoid them.
You’re lucky that this comes naturally to you.
I hope you can follow your heart and make full use of time.
Yours,
Li Hua

We travelled in Thailand. The staff at the hotels we stayed in went out of their way to make us feel welcome. You may say that they were just doing their jobs, but this is not how it felt to us. At the iuDia Hotel in Ayutthaya the staff went above and beyond what we would have expected. The dining room was not open in the evening and when we asked where we could get a takeaway meal the front desk girl walked us to the nearby restaurant. She explained that the hotel staff would provide us with plates and dishes once we returned. Not only did they provide what we needed, but they also put our food in servicing bowls and took care of the clean-up while we slept. We were grateful and deeply touched by their kindness and care.
For the rest of our visit to Thailand we stayed at the Novotel in Rangsit. Since we were there for a long period of time we became familiar with a few of the staff. They paid attention to our needs and did their best to ensure our stay was a pleasant one. They were also happy to stop and chat with us, asking questions about our stay, what we had done that day, recommending things for us to do and sharing parts of their personal lives with us.Again, it may be said that their friendliness was part of their job but somehow, I did not feel that was the case. It felt natural, open and honest and I would like to think that they enjoyed our conversations as much as we enjoyed theirs.
On one of our walks my brother and I were offered bottles of fresh water by one of the locals. She felt that we needed it and did not want to take payment for the two bottles she offered. She finally agreed to take 10 Thai bahts(泰铢). Instead we gave her 20.
