Question

【题目】Every year, about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an annual feast(盛宴)in Thailand.__ 【1】_It is said that Rama once rewarded his friend Hanuman, the Monkey King, with some land. Organizers of the annual Monkey Buffet use more than 3000kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the feast.

This event is held in England. Though it might sound very gentle, it is actually very dangerous.Running down a very steep hill behind a 7pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous. In fact, the police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have refused to carry out the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily.__ 【2】__ Simple：the cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese. However, as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese. __【3】_

In this festival, grown men jump over newborns, with their parents' permission.__ 【4】_ This custom has been observed since 1620; any onlookers who seem to be in need of “cleaning” also get involved in the event.

【3】D

【4】G

【5】E

【解析】

试题分析:本文介绍了泰国，英国和日本这三个国家存在的三个奇特的节日。

【1】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句讲每年大约600只猴子都被邀请参加泰国的蔬菜和水果盛宴，后句提到据说Rama曾经犒劳了他的猴王朋友Hanuman一些土地。由此可推测B项（这是为了纪念Rama，最伟大的神的）符合题意。

【2】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下文“Simple：the cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese.”，判断A选项（那么，在奶酪车下滑的过程中，会发生什么呢？）符合语境。

【3】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句： 几乎没人能抓住奶酪车，由此推测选项D（第一个到达底部的人将赢得奶酪）符合题意。

【4】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。 根据上下文：成年人从新生儿头顶跳过：任何一个需要洗礼的人也可以参加这个活动。故选G（穿着可怕的服装，西班牙人想要对邪恶的婴儿进行洗礼）符合题意。

【5】E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据后面这个赤裸节每年在日本几十个地区举行。故选E（日本有一个参加者几乎不穿衣服的节日）符合题意。
