Question

6．Every August，Edinburgh，the capital of Scotland，is the home of one of the most important arts festivals in the world．Three of our young readers went there and told us about it．
My parents have always liked art exhibitions and they've taken me to many，but I never enjoyed them，however，in Edinburgh we saw an exhibition of African masks at a museum and they were fantastic．I couldn't imagine that people made such beautiful things so long ago．Some of the masks were 2，000 years old．
                                                       Marti，14
My friend and I went to the theatre at the Edinburgh Arts Festival．We decided to see a musical（音乐剧）．I used to think musicals were for people like my mum，but it was very good．I loved all the singing and dancing．Everyone was very talented and it was really colorful．
                                                       Jack，13
I'd never been to a ballet before and I didn't really want to go，but my aunt Celia said I had to．In the end，I was glad!We saw The sleeping Beauty at the Edinburgh Festival．The dancers were beautiful and Tchaikovsky's music made the story come alive．I can't wait to go to a ballet again．

Answer 1

分析 每年八月，苏格兰的首都爱丁堡是全世界最重要的艺术节之一的家园．我们三个年轻的读者去了那里，告诉我们发生的一切．
Marti，14
我父母总是喜欢艺术展览，他们带我看了很多展览，但我从未喜欢过．然而在爱丁堡博物馆我们看到了非洲面具的展览，它们太不可思议了．我无法想象在很久以前人们造出如此美丽的东西．一些面具有2000年的历史．
Jack，13
我和我的朋友在爱丁堡艺术节去了剧院．我们决定去看一部音乐剧．我曾经认为音乐剧是像我妈妈这样年龄的人看的，但它很好，我喜欢所有的歌曲和舞蹈．每个人都很有才华，真是多姿多彩．
Hannah，16
我从未去看过一场芭蕾舞而且我的确不想去，但是我姑姑Celia说了，我不得不去了．最后我很高兴!在爱丁堡艺术节我们看到了《睡美人》．舞蹈演员很美丽而且柴可夫斯基的音乐使得故事更加生动．我迫不及待再去看一场芭蕾舞．

解答 25．答案：A．推理判断题．根据第一段Three of our young readers went there and told us about it．可知我们三个年轻的读者去了那里，告诉我们发生的一切．结合Aa local newspaper"一家当地的报纸"，可推知这篇短文出自当地一家报纸对于三名读者参加艺术节情况的采访，故选A．
26．答案：D．推理判断题．
根据第二段"My parents have always liked art exhibitions and they've taken me to many，but I never enjoyed them．However，in Edinburgh we saw an exhibition of African masks at a Museum and they were fantastic"可知Marti和父母去参加的艺术节；
再根据"My friend and I went to the theatre at Edinburgh Arts Festival．"可知Jack和朋友去的艺术节；
最后根据"I'd never been to a ballet before and I didn't really want to go，but my aunt Celia said I had to．In the end，I was glad!We saw the Sleeping Beauty at the Edinburgh Festival"可知Hannah和姑姑Celia去的艺术节．
可知没有人独自去参加艺术节，故选D．
27．答案：B．推理判断题．
根据短文讲述了三名青少年观看爱丁堡艺术节后的感想．根据第二段中Marti所说"My parents have always liked art exhibitions and they've taken me to many，but I never enjoyed them"我父母总是喜欢艺术展览，他们带我去了很多，但我从未喜欢过．然而在爱丁堡博物馆我们看到了非洲面具的展览它们太不可思议了"．
再根据Jack所说"I used to think musicals were for people like my mum，but it was very good"我曾经认为音乐剧是像我妈妈这样年龄的人看的，但它很好"．
最后根据Hannah所说"I'd never been to a ballet before and I didn't really want to go"我从未去看过一场芭蕾舞而且我的确不想去"．
可知三人给大家分享他们参加艺术节的感受的一个共同特点就是"在去之前都认为艺术节很无聊"．故选B．
