A dragon boat is nothing but a humanpowered watercraft.It is made out of wood in China’s southern Guangdong Province.It is made into various designs and sizes.
Dragon boat racing is a kind of sport of team paddling，an amateur water sport dating back to long time ago.Dragon boat racing has become an international sport in modern times，starting in 1976 in Hong Kong.However，the history of dragon boats in competition goes as far back as the same age as the games of Olympiad taking place.
The usual crew of a modern dragon boat typically consists of 22 people，including 20 paddlers in pairs facing the front of the boat.Then there is one drummer or caller at the front，facing the paddlers and finally one who steers(掌舵) standing at the rear end of the boat.Dragon boats vary in length，naturally changing the number of crew，from 10 paddlers in small dragon boats up to 50 paddlers in the traditional boats.
The international dragon boat festival in the west was first organized in June 1983 in San Diego，California.While in Boston，Massachusetts people find it good to observe over 50 teams racing down Charles River.The Boston Dragon Boat Festival is a total playing place for lovers of crafts(工艺品)．There are many workshops you can join like making zongzi，folding paper into butterflies and boats and also decorating opera masks.
It is no argument that Denver in Colorado takes its racing quite seriously.The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival starts off with a 75foot dragon dance and a team parade in traditional Chinese costume.Following the opening ceremony，the festival includes both flagcatching races on Taiwanese boats and lightningspeed races on Hong Kong boats.The competition is sure to get you excited.
16．How many people facing forward are there in the dragon boat commonly?
A．20.
B．42.
C．21.
D．22.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第三段可知龙舟上通常有22人，20个划船人员面朝前，1个鼓手面朝后，1个舵手面朝前。因此面朝前的一共是21个人。
17．According to the text，which statement is TRUE about dragon boats?
A．All kinds of materials can be used to make dragon boats.
B．The number of paddlers varies with the size of the boat.
C．It was in Hong Kong that people began the dragon boat racing.

B
In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团)．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time，the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by littleknown writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
19．What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
A．To bring Europe together again.
B．To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.
C．To introduce young theatre groups.
D．To attract great artists from Europe.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。文章第一段最后一句指出：“The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.”，即：(人们创设爱丁堡音乐节的)想法是为了重新联合二战后的欧洲。因此，正确答案为A项。
20．Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A．They owned a public house there.
B．They came to take up a challenge.
C．They thought they were also famous.
D．They wanted to take part in the festival.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由第三段第二句“Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform...”可知八个剧团不请自来的原因是他们认为每个人都应有权利来音乐节上参加表演。
21．Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared?
A．Popular writers.
B．University students.
C．Artists from around the world.
D．Performers of music and dance.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。第三段和第四段提到很多大学生参加了爱丁堡音乐节，所以答案为B项。
22．We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival
A．has become a nonofficial event
B．has gone beyond an art festival
C．gives shows all year round
D．keeps growing rapidly
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“...has far outgrown the festival...some said it was getting too big.”及文章最后一段中的“...eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.”可知爱丁堡音乐节发展迅速，其规模不断变大。
