Which festival do you suggest she go to? A.Wrexham, 1012 MayB.Aberystwyth, 1929 MayC.Hay on Wye, 2528 MayD.Lawrenny, 2528 May【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，介紹了了今年春天的威爾士節(jié)日時(shí)能看到的，做的和體驗(yàn)至的項(xiàng)目。(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“There39。s lots to see, do and experience in Wales this spring. And now it39。s time to embrace all things new and get ready to be entertained in the spring, e rain or shine.”可知，威爾士節(jié)日不論是雨天還是晴天，都會(huì)舉行。其中的shine為意為“好天氣”與sunny是同義詞，rainy是rain的形容詞。故選C。(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)Aberystwyth, 1929 May部分中的“all work and no play makes us all dull boys and girls, so while you39。re in town be sure to pop in to one or two of the plenty of pubs in Aber（as the locals call it）for a nice, cold pint of Brains beer. You39。ll need it after all that cycling!”可知，當(dāng)你在鎮(zhèn)里時(shí)，去到酒吧內(nèi)喝點(diǎn)冰涼的啤酒很流行。騎自行車(chē)之后你需要它！由此可推斷出，活動(dòng)之后你可以去酒吧喝酒休息，即活動(dòng)后有地方休息的。故選A。(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)Lawrenny, 2528 May部分中的“…Essentially the festival is about wellness, but it39。s also so much more than that. …, leaving your usual routine behind …”這個(gè)節(jié)日本質(zhì)上就是關(guān)于健康健身的，但它不僅僅如此。你可以丟掉你的日常慣例，加入…。由此可知，這個(gè)節(jié)日的目的就是如果你熱愛(ài)健身，想體驗(yàn)不同尋常的東西，就可以來(lái)這兒。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)符合題意。故選D?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇廣告類(lèi)閱讀，考生準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息的同時(shí)，需根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects. Located on the shore of Sullivan39。s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the awardwinning cubeshaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane（颶風(fēng)）Hugo 10 years ago. Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina39。s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building rules wasn39。t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverlydesigned beach house. Soon after Hugo, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, betterenforced rules. The new beach house on Sullivan39。s Island should be able to withstand a Level 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. At first sight, the house on Sullivan39。s Island looks anything but hurricaneproof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern (燈籠)” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be misleading. The house39。s wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength. To further protect the house from hurricane damage. Huff raised it meters off the ground on timber pilings－long, slim wood pieces anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also raise the house above storm waves. The pilings allow the waves to run under the house instead of running into it. 39。These waves e ashore at terrible speeds and cause most of the damage done to beachfront buildings,” said Huff. Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially hidden by the house39。s groundtoroof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn39。t look like it39。s standing with its pant legs (褲腿) pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.（1）After the Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina39。s shore line are required .
