【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 f the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It39。s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people39。s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I39。ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life. However, it39。s different with Western fast food. For example, I don39。t think McDonald39。s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people, The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the other hand, maybe McDonald39。s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It39。s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald39。s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it39。s obvious that American culture is being more and more a part of our lives every day. （1）From the first paragraph we can know that .

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(交響樂團). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly. At the same time, the Fringe appeared as a challenge(挑戰(zhàn)) 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 little known 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(行政人員) 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 million tickets were sold.（1）What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning? bring Europe together again. honor heroes of World War II. introduce young theatre groups. attract great artists from Europe.（2）Why did some uninvited theatre groups e to Edinburgh in 1947? owned a public house there. came to take up a challenge. thought they were also famous. wanted to take part in the festival.（3）What does the Fringe mean in the third paragraph? groups groups groups groups（4）We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival . bee a nonofficial event gone beyond an art festival shows all year round growing rapidly【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）B（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了愛丁堡音樂節(jié)形成和發(fā)展，包括對創(chuàng)設(shè)目的，參與群體，發(fā)展規(guī)模等方面進行了簡要而準(zhǔn)確的敘述，回顧了愛丁堡音樂節(jié)的發(fā)展歷程。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.”可知，這個Edinburgh Festival是為了在二戰(zhàn)后重新團結(jié)歐洲。故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的 “Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,” 可知這些隊伍認(rèn)為每個人都有表演的權(quán)力，所以他們想要參加節(jié)日。故選D。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的“At the same time, the ‘Fringe’ appeared as a challenge(挑戰(zhàn)) to the official festival. ”可知Fringe 與official是相對的；再根據(jù)“Eight theatre groups turned up？”以及第四段中的“Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cam
