Why water is cooled in a thermal power plant before reusing it?

The problem lies in the excess amount of heat in the water, and the ability to pump hot water. Hot water has a tendency to flash into steam if it is too hot and will damage pumps when it does this.
More importantly for power plants, too much heat in the water prevents the condensers from condensing steam back into water, such that it will build up heat and backpressure in the exhaust hood of a turbine, reducing the amount of power the turbine can put out, as well as causing damage to the turbine blades, from moisture build up in the low pressure stages of the turbine. The vacuum created by condensing the steam keeps the steam in its vapor state in these stages.

Does thermal energy run on gasoline?
Gasoline can combusted and given out thermal energy but I suspect the questing ask about thermal energy plant. Thermal energy plant usually referred to Geothermal power plant or Solarthermal power plant. Geothermal plant run on the thermal energy from earth and Solarthermal run on the solar radiation transformed to heat. If the question ask for the latter then no, thermal energy plant doesn't run on gasoline.
