TheEnvisionFestivalandtheOldSettler'sMusicFestival.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了世界各地的四个受欢迎的音乐节：讲述了节日举行的时间和节日特色。（1）考查细节理解。根据FieldDay部分中的“FieldPaymeansNewYear'sDayforyoungpeopleinSydney.”可知，FieldDay对于年轻人来说意味着新年，因此人们在悉尼能够享受有趣的新年。故选C。（2）考查推理判断。根据TheMcDowellMountainMusicFestival部分中的“Sinceitsfoundingin2004fitistheonly100%non-profitmusicfestivaldesignedtosupport,entertainandeducatethecommunity.”可知，自从建立以来，这个节日一直是非盈利的音乐节。因此推断它的目的不是赚钱。故选B。（3）考查细节理解。根据TheEnvisionFestival部分中的“Meanwhile,ourconnectionwithnatureisexpectedtobestrengthened.”和TheOldSettler'sMusicFestival部分提到的“ThefestivalisheldinthecountryofTexasattheheightofthewildflowerseason.”可知，这两个音乐节与大自然有关。故选D。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。2．阅读理解

Goinginforsportswiththeirfriends.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了刚离开家上大学的学生面对新环境可能遇到的问题和给他们提出的建议。（1）细节理解题。由原文“Increases/decreasesinappetite.”可知，如果一个人想家，就有可能增加或减少食欲，所以C选项“感觉食物或水果失去吸引力”符合题意，而其他选项“想跟别人吵架”、“对学习比以前更感兴趣”和“几乎参加了大学所有的活动”都不符合题意。所以答案选C。（2）细节理解题。由原文“Unhappinesswhenthingsaredifferentfromyourexpectationsofstudentlife.”可知，当事情不符合新入学的学生的期望时，他们就会不高兴。所以B选项“他们对不符合预期的事物感到厌烦”符合题意。所以答案选B。（3）推理判断题。由原文“Keepingoodcontactwiththepeopleyouhaveleftbehind”可知，要跟留下的人保持联系，所以A选项“要一直让老朋友留下”是不正确的。由原文“Setupabalancebetweenworkandleisure.”可知，应该在工作和休闲之前建立一个平衡，所以B选项“提醒他们自己保持忙碌并忘记想家”是不符合题意的。由原文“Makecontactsandfriendsthroughsharedactivitiessuchassportsorotherinterests.”可知，可以通过运动或其他兴趣来结识其他朋友，所以C选项“强迫自己周末待在宿舍”是不符合题意的，而D选项“跟朋友一起运动”是正确的。所以答案选D。【点评】推断题型答题技巧。推理是在既有信息的基础上得出合乎文章内容的内涵意义，即某一问题、某一观点没有直接表述，而寓意在文章的字里行间，要求通过文中信息分析推出某种符合作者思想、符合文章逻辑的内涵意义。推断则是指通过对文章进行符合逻辑的综合分析，推出文章未直接陈述的言外之意。推断题推断得正确与否，很大程度上取决于是否能正确把握作者潜隐在字里行间的语气及观点。3．阅读理解
