三、七选五
As I stepped off the plane in Yunnan, I was about to begin an unforgettable experience: the Water-Splashing Festival.
On the morning of the festival, people were busy getting prepared. Their faces lit with expectation. I, a foreigner, really stood out in the street. A passing vendor (小贩) noticed my out-of-place expression and flashed me a wide smile. 16
Walking through the lively streets of Xishuangbanna with excitement, I saw a group of local children approaching me, their eyes shining with kindness. They handed me a traditional Dai hat and in that simple gesture, I felt a connection to this land and its people. 17 Such a moment highlights how the Water-
Splashing Festival is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of warmth and openness.
Soon, the most important event, the water splashing, began. People of all ages, armed with water guns and buckets, filled the streets. 18 The thought of getting completely wet in front of so many strangers made me nervous. But then, a group of local boys targeted me with their water guns. Before I knew it, I got wet through, and a burst of laughter escaped my lips. In that moment, all my hesitations faded away.
19 But for me, it was also a way to wash away the distance between myself and the people around me. As the sun began to set, the festival finally ended. But the memories created, the friendship formed, the cultural understanding gained would last a lifetime.
20 It caught me that by being brave enough to explore new cultures, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. We enrich our lives in ways we could never have imagined, filling them with laughter, warmth, and the magic of cultural connection.
A.At first, I was a bit hesitant.
B.That warmth and friendliness immediately put me at ease.
C.The water-splashing had a long history for the Dai people.
D.It made me understand that a kind act can break down cultural barriers.
E.This led to my new understanding of communicating with different people.
F.My time at Yunnan’s Water-Splashing Festival was a journey of discovery.
G.In Dai culture, splashing water means getting rid of bad luck and welcoming the new.
四、阅读理解
The Tomatina Festival (西红柿节) is a festival that is held in a town named Bunol in Spain, on which people throw tomatoes for fun. It is held on the last Wednesday of August each year.
In 1945, during a parade (游行) in the town one day, young men who wanted to be in the parade started a fight in the town square. They used tomatoes as weapons (武器). This is the most popular story about how the Tomatina Festival started.
At around 10: 00 a.m. on Wednesday, activities that are organized to celebrate the festival begin. The first one is climbing a pole with a ham on top. When a person is climbing, some people sing and dance. When the person drops the ham off the pole, the tomato fight starts. The tomatoes come from Extremadura. The tomatoes there are less expensive and are grown specially for the festival. The number of tomatoes used is about 150,000. After exactly one hour, the fight ends. The whole square becomes red because there is tomato juice everywhere. Then hoses are used to clean the square and to wash away the tomato juice on people’s bodies. After that, the town goes back
to the way it was.
The local government has made some rules for the safety of people. One of them is as follows: People have to squash (把……挤软) the tomatoes before throwing them in order not to hurt other people.

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to hear that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals.
My favourite festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It usually falls in September or October. On that day, our family members usually get together and have a nice meal. After that, I always admire the moon and share mooncakes with my families. I love this festival because I like eating mooncakes.
In short, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of pleasure and happiness. I hope that what I’ve written will help you get to know more about Chinese festivals.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to hear that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals.
My favourite festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It usually falls in September or October. On that day, our family members usually get together and have a nice meal. After that, I always admire the moon and share mooncakes with my families. I love this festival because I like eating mooncakes.
In short, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of pleasure and happiness. I hope that what I’ve written will help you get to know more about Chinese festivals.
Yours,
Li Hua
