A music festival is a festival determined towards music that is sometimes presented with a theme such as musical type, nationality or locality of musicians, or holiday. They are commonly held outdoors, and are often inclusive of other attractions such as food and merchandise vendors(卖主), performance art, and social activities. The Pythian Games at Delphi included musical performances, and may be one of the earliest festivals known. During the Middle Ages festivals were often held as competitions.
Many festivals are annual, or repeat at regular interval. Some, including many rock festivals, are held only once. Some festivals are organized as forprofit concerts and others are benefits for a specific cause.
Another type of music festival is the educative type, organized annually in local communities, regionally or nationally, for the benefit of amateur musicians of all ages and grades of achievement. While entrants(参加竞赛者) perform prepared pieces in the presence of an audience which includes competitors, the essential feature of this type of festival is that each participant receives verbal and written feedback(反馈), there and then, from a highly qualified, professional adjudicator(判决者)—someone who they might never meet in any other way. They also usually receive a certificate, classified according to merit, and some may win trophies. The competitive element is often played down, however, as the important aspect is that participants can learn from one another.
Such festivals aim to provide a friendly and supportive platform for musicians to share in the excitement of making music. For many they provide a bridge between lessons & examinations and performing confidently in public.
文章大意:本文主要讲了有关音乐节的一些情况。
1.What is TRUE about a music festival?
A.It must be performed with a theme once a year.
B.A common music festival is held outdoors.
C.Some may not only include musical performances.
D.Music festivals date from the Middle Ages.
答案:C 正误判断题。根据第一段的第二句“...and are often inclusive of other attractions...”可知,音乐节不仅包括音乐表演。A项错在不一定“一年举办一次”;B项错在“A common music festival”(公共的音乐会);D项错在最早的不一定在中世纪。
2.The music festivals can be held as the following EXCEPT________.
A.competitions
B.forprofit concerts
C.benefits for a specific cause
D.rockmoving games
答案:D 细节理解题。在一、二段中不难找出A、B、C的根据,而D项译成“搬岩石比赛”,与原文的“rock festivals” (摇滚音乐节)不符,且也不是举办的目的。
3.Which is NOT the characteristic of an educative music festival?
A.It can be held in a community or in a whole country.
B.Some competitors can also enjoy others' performance.
C.It can be beneficial for all kinds of musicians.
D.Each participant can receive judgments from a specialist.
答案:C 细节判断题。从第三段可找出A、B、D的根据所在。在第三段第一句后半句提到:对各个年龄段和不同成就的业余音乐家有益,并非各种各样的音乐家,所以C项是偷换了概念。
4.What's the most important significance for holding a music festival?
A.Musicians can communicate and benefit from one another.
B.Performers can get guidance from professional adjudicators.
C.Participants can receive classified certificates.
D.The competitive element is often played down.
答案:A 细节理解题。从第三段最后一句可知:最重要的因素是参加者可以互相学习,即从竞争中互相受益,所以A项符合。其余三项本段也都提到,但不是“最重要的意义”。
5.A music festival can mainly provide________.
A.a platform for participants to perform their works
B.a stage to share the excitement of making music
C.a bridge between music lessons and examinations
D.an opportunity to perform in public with confidence
答案:B 细节判断题。根据最后一段第一句判断:举办音乐节主要是为音乐家分享创作音乐的快乐搭建一个友好和支持的平台(platform)或舞台(stage)。
B
If you know how to study wine, it can tell you about its history and qualities. Many wine experts can even identify the kind of wine without ever seeing the label on the bottle. Studying a wine involves using several senses, not just taste.
First, pour the wine into a glass and look at it. It might help to put a piece of white paper behind the glass so you can see the color clearly. Color can tell a lot about the kind of grapes, where the wine is from and its age. A white wine might be almost colorless. White wines go darker with age. White wines made from grapes grown in a cool climate are often paler, with a higher amount of acid. White wines from grapes grown in a warmer climate are often yellower, with less acid. The color of red wines can be purplish red to brick red.
Red wines often become paler with age.
Red wines grown in warmer climates often have deeper color than those grown in cooler climates.
Next, turn the glass so that the wine moves around inside. This brings air into the wine, so that it gives off its smell. Smell the wine deeply. A wine's smell is actually telling more than its taste. To use a wine term, what can you learn about the wine from its “nose”? Is the wine fruity? Does it smell like oak(橡树)? Do you smell grass or maybe honey? Maybe the smell is like butter or a mineral.
Now it is time to taste the wine. Move it around in your mouth. You may recognize some tastes because you identified them while smelling the wine.
You can also consider the wine's sweetness and its acidity(酸性). You may note the taste of tannin. Tannins are chemicals that are found in the skin and seeds of grapes. Tannins taste bitter and seem to coat your mouth. To make a good wine requires a balance between sugar, acidity, tannin and alcohol.
Professional wine tasters have many special words to describe wines. Some adjectives might be surprising. For example, a wine that feels smooth might be described as “velvety” or “silky”. A wine that does not have enough acidity is “flabby” or “fat”. A wine with a strong tannin
taste could be “chewy”.
文章大意:本文为说明文,介绍了品葡萄酒的方法。
6.The wine taster often puts a piece of white paper behind the wine glass with the purpose of________.
A. seeing the color clearly
B. blocking the strong sunlight
C. gathering the smell
D. spotting the grapes
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It might help to put a piece of white paper behind the glass so you can see the color clearly”可知,品酒师把一张白纸放在葡萄酒杯后面是为了看清楚葡萄酒的颜色。
7.What can we learn from the passage?
A. The paler red wines are, the younger they are.
B. The paler red wines are, the older they are.
C. The darker white wines are, the younger they are.
D. The older red wines are, the sweeter they are.
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“Red wines often become paler with age.”可知,红葡萄酒放得越久,颜色越浅。
8.In which order should we use our senses when we study wine?
A. Taste→sight→smell
B. Smell→taste→sight
C. Smell→sight→taste
D. Sight→smell→taste
答案:D 推理判断题。根据二、三、四段的内容可知,当我们研究葡萄酒时,首先是“看”,然后是“闻”,最后是“尝”,故用到的感官顺序是“视觉→嗅觉→味觉”。
9.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How can we study a wine?
B. How can we introduce a wine?
C. How can we taste a wine?
D. How can we make a wine?
答案:A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲的是怎么样品葡萄酒,故A项最佳。
