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(厨艺) Festival. The 10th anniversary Bermuda Music Festival begins October 5 and features three days of performances at the Royal Naval Dockyard(皇家海军造船厂)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(质优价高的) small goods arts and crafts shops.

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了英国殖民地Bermuda作为一个避暑的胜地。每年的十月都有两个大型的主要节日——音乐节和厨艺节。并且除了两大节日你可以参与，在十月份你还能享受到Bermuda在夏季享受不到的独特风景。

1.1】细节归纳题。由第三段第一句可知，从十月21日开始，厨艺节吸引了北美最顶尖的厨师来到岛上，进行为期4天的食品、美酒品尝会议以及厨艺比拼。21日开始为第一天，往后数到24日正好是4天。故选C。

2.2】推理判断题。定位到第4段，讲述了十月份Bermuda的气温宜人，适宜高尔夫和网球运动。岛上游客没有夏天多，因此人们能够享受一个更加惬意的时光。还有保持着夏天的温暖的海水可以让你自由自在的游泳。这些都从是只在金秋十月份你能享受的。故选C。

3.3】推理判断题。从整篇文章来看，都在描写Bermuda的节日与可观光旅游的地方。一般景点门票价格为$60一天或者$160三天，如果你观光厨艺节门票价格更高$649一个人，同时还介绍了十月份你在Bermuda除了可以看厨艺节还能参观这里独特的美景。宣传性比较强，都是在给Bermuda这个城市做旅游宣传。所以最可能的是一则广告。故选A。

4.4】细节辨析题。最后一段倒数第二句谈到秋天仍然适合游泳，但并没有说冬天在Bermuda不可以游泳。所以排除A。第二段第二句说音乐节是在十月5日开始而厨艺节是在十月21日开始，可见两个节日并不在一个时期，所以不选C.在第三段第一句话中介绍了厨艺节主要吸引的是北美的顶尖厨师而不仅仅是英国的。所以说Bermuda的两大节日都是服务于英国是不正确的，所以排除D。
