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(tuán)). 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(jìn)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(xì)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(tuán)結(jié)歐洲。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)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 Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform ”可知很多團(tuán)體和大學(xué)生也參與了進(jìn)來，所以Fringe譯為非正式的，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“ today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.
