Question

The British coloney(殖民地)of Bermude is a top summertime escape. Yet, even through October, Bermuda isn't ready to stop for the winter. During this month, world-class festivals on teh island keep things lively and the weather remains comfortable enough for Bermuda shorts and bathing suits.

In October, Bermuda hosts two major festivals—the Bermuda Music Festival and the Bermuda Culinary Arts(廚藝) Festival. The 10th anniversary Bermuda Music Festival begins October 5 and features three days of performances at the Royal Naval Dockyard(皇家海軍造船廠)on Bermuda's West End. Featured main stage performers include Joss Stone, Pattie Labelle, and Al Green, and a second stage spotlights local Bermudian artists. General admission tickets start at $60 for on e day or $160 for a three-day pass.

Starting October 21, the Culinary Arts Festival brings some of North America's top chefs to the island for four days of food and wine tastings, conferences and cooking competitions. Participating chefs include Todd English and Michael Lomonaco, among others. Three-day festival passes start at $649 per person, but you can also buy separate tickets for individual events.

Even if you don't attend one of the festivals, there's still plenty to do. With mostly sunny days and temperatures averaging aroung 79 degrees, the weather is just right for participating in Bermuda's two favorite pastimes—golf and tennis. With fewer visitors on the island than during the summer, you may have an easier time getting the best times or a spot on the courts. It's also still warm enough to enjoy the island's pink sand beaches and go swimming, because the water keeps the summer's heat longer than the air. Of course, you can always shop in the city of Hamilton's upscale(質(zhì)優(yōu)價高的) small goods arts and crafts shops.

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了英國殖民地Bermuda作為一個避暑的勝地。每年的十月都有兩個大型的主要節(jié)日——音樂節(jié)和廚藝節(jié)。并且除了兩大節(jié)日你可以參與，在十月份你還能享受到Bermuda在夏季享受不到的獨特風(fēng)景。

1.1】細(xì)節(jié)歸納題。由第三段第一句可知，從十月21日開始，廚藝節(jié)吸引了北美最頂尖的廚師來到島上，進(jìn)行為期4天的食品、美酒品嘗會議以及廚藝比拼。21日開始為第一天，往后數(shù)到24日正好是4天。故選C。

2.2】推理判斷題。定位到第4段，講述了十月份Bermuda的氣溫宜人，適宜高爾夫和網(wǎng)球運動。島上游客沒有夏天多，因此人們能夠享受一個更加愜意的時光。還有保持著夏天的溫暖的海水可以讓你自由自在的游泳。這些都從是只在金秋十月份你能享受的。故選C。

3.3】推理判斷題。從整篇文章來看，都在描寫B(tài)ermuda的節(jié)日與可觀光旅游的地方。一般景點門票價格為$60一天或者$160三天，如果你觀光廚藝節(jié)門票價格更高$649一個人，同時還介紹了十月份你在Bermuda除了可以看廚藝節(jié)還能參觀這里獨特的美景。宣傳性比較強(qiáng)，都是在給Bermuda這個城市做旅游宣傳。所以最可能的是一則廣告。故選A。

4.4】細(xì)節(jié)辨析題。最后一段倒數(shù)第二句談到秋天仍然適合游泳，但并沒有說冬天在Bermuda不可以游泳。所以排除A。第二段第二句說音樂節(jié)是在十月5日開始而廚藝節(jié)是在十月21日開始，可見兩個節(jié)日并不在一個時期，所以不選C.在第三段第一句話中介紹了廚藝節(jié)主要吸引的是北美的頂尖廚師而不僅僅是英國的。所以說Bermuda的兩大節(jié)日都是服務(wù)于英國是不正確的，所以排除D。
