    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 entertainmen
    t 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

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 历史文化类阅读

什么是历史文化类阅读:

本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议,所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章,先弄清其引入的话题,再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法,然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。


历史文化类阅读技巧:

题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时,我们应注意以下几个方面:
1、采用先题后文:先读题目,再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点,如果带着问题读文章,有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后,自然会加深我们对文章的理解,这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类:一类是Main idea型;一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点:
a.读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁,而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主题句在文章开头。因此,要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b.读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾,作为对全篇的总结。
c.读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同,而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d.从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中,这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题,在主题句出现后,再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e.归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句,只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
