【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文——广告。全文介绍了要举办的五场音乐演出。提供的信息包含音乐会的主题、电话以及网址等。此类广告具有条目清晰的特点,因此所设问题也是针对某项内容。
1.Which number should you call if you want to see an opera?
A.2412742. B.7231182.
C.3813300. D.2326220.
A [细节理解题。根据第一则广告中的“The Opera honors Enjoy the Arts membership discounts.Phone:2412742.”可以得出,如果想看歌剧,应打2412742。其他四则广告都没有提到opera一词。]
2.When can you go to a concert by Chamber Orchestra?
A.February. B.May.
C.August. D.November.
B [细节理解题。根据第二则广告中的“...which offers several concerts from March through June.”可知,可以在三月至六月去听Chamber Orchestra举办的音乐会,因此May(五月)合适。February(二月),August(八月)和November(十一月)都不在此范围内。]
3.Where can students go for free performances with their I.D.cards?
A.Music Hall.
B.Memorial Hall.
C.Patricia Cobbett Theater.
D.Riverbend Music Theater.
C [细节理解题。根据第四则广告中的“...usually at Patricia Cobbett Theater.”和“Students with I.D.cards can attend the events for free.”可知,有身份证的学生在Patricia Cobbett Theater可以免费看演出。A、B、D三项并未提身份证的问题,故可排除。]
4.How is Riverbend Music Theater different from the other places?
A.It has seats in the open air.
B.It gives shows all year round.
C.It offers membership discounts.
D.It presents famous musical works.
A [细节理解题。本题需要纵向地将五则广告进行比较。第五则广告Riverbend Music Theater提到了outdoor,而前四则广告中,这些举办音乐演出的场地都没有说是露天的,因此这是Riverbend Music Theater与众不同的地方。B项有一定的干扰性。从最后一则广告中的“...all summer long!”可知,B项中的all year round(一整年)表述错误,因此可以排除;C项表示给会员打折,这是第一则广告提及的内容;D项表示展现一些知名的音乐作品,在文中没有依据,不能说明Riverbend Music Theater与其他地方的不同。]
