It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue. To do so, it began to make new changes. The changes included repairing historic areas like the Avenue. Once again, the high living costs in these historic arts areas pushed lowine families out. Indiana Avenue was the heart of a neighborhood along the White River. It was a center for black music and live street music. The wealthy avoided this area. So it became a place that poorer families, including many AfricanAmerican and immigrant (移民) families, moved to.But the real history of jazz in Indy is much less simple. Along with the Avenue39。Now in 2019, jazz music is an important part of Indianapolis39。 【點(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，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)第三段中的“the songs are loved more for the memories they symbolize than for the way they sound, and that Colombia has been through so many dark periods in history, it was important to hold on to the good memories of years gone past.”可知哥倫比亞圣誕音樂讓人喜愛是因?yàn)樗鼈兯笳鞯挠洃?，是要保持?duì)過去歲月的美好記憶。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。圣誕節(jié)是團(tuán)聚的時(shí)間不是獨(dú)處的時(shí)間。 （1）考查推理判斷。t a time for being alone. is mainly devoted to religion.39。s the authors opinion of Christmas? isn39。Being in a country like Colombia during this festive period has taught me that you don39。 s homes. Cities are lit up by candles, as this day marks the beginning of the Christmas period. Although decorations have been up since early November, another tradition in Colombia is that during the nine days before Christmas, family members and friends meet up to pray, sing songs and share traditional foods at home. s easy to believe that as a worldwide festival, most countries probably celebrate it in a fairly similar manner. Being from the UK, Christmas for me means spending time with family and friends, exchanging presents, eating and drinking, and, of course, hiding from the cold. In Colombia, however, Christmas is viewed much more as a time which devotes itself to religion. 4．閱讀理解 故選D。根據(jù)The Envision Festival部分中的“Meanwhile, our connection with nature is expected to be strengthened.”和The Old Settler39。故選B。根據(jù)The McDowell Mountain Music Festival部分中的“Since its founding in 2004 f it is the only 100% non profit music festival designed to support, entertain and educate the munity.”可知，自從建立以來，這個(gè)節(jié)日一直是非盈利的音樂節(jié)。故選C。根據(jù)Field Day部分中的“Field Pay means New Year39。s Music Festival.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了世界各地的四個(gè)受歡迎的音樂節(jié)：講述了節(jié)日舉行的時(shí)間和節(jié)日特色。s Music Festival and the McDowll McDowell Mountain Music Festival.D.The Envision Festival and the McDowell Mountain Music Festival.C.It focuses on cultural exchanges.（3）Which festivals are connected with nature?
