【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)Rolling cheese—England“英國(guó)滾奶酪比賽”中的This festival is celebrated on the last Monday in May“這個(gè)節(jié)日在五月的最后一個(gè)星期一慶祝”可知，五月可以去英國(guó)參加這個(gè)節(jié)日，故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)But the tomatoes are being thrown, not eaten“但是，西紅柿是扔的，而不是吃的”可知，排除A；根據(jù)The best part of the festival is the burning of a large sculpture of a man“節(jié)日中最好的部分是燒一個(gè)大的人型雕像”可知，不是燒真人，排除C；根據(jù)Songkran is one of the most important reasons why foreigners travel to the beautiful land“宋干節(jié)是為什么外國(guó)人來(lái)這個(gè)美麗的陸地的最重要的原因之一”可知，不是唯一的理由，排除D；根據(jù)Rather than a single day, Thailand celebrates the New Year from April 13th to April 15th“而不是單一的一天，泰國(guó)從4月13日至4月15日慶祝他們的新年”可知，以上的節(jié)日不都是一天的慶祝時(shí)間，故選B。

【5】推理判斷題。A.旅游指南；B.科學(xué)報(bào)道；C.故事書；D.時(shí)尚雜志。根據(jù)全文可知，是四個(gè)不同的節(jié)日以及Songkran is one of the most important reasons why foreigners travel to the beautiful land“宋干節(jié)是為什么外國(guó)人來(lái)這個(gè)美麗的陸地的最重要的原因之一”可知，是一個(gè)旅游指南，故選A。

做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)要先劃關(guān)鍵詞，再根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到文中的某一段即可做出題目。
