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.
