D.Anartguidebook.【答案】21.C22.C23.A【解析】【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个在不同国家举行的夏季音乐节。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据“GranadaInternationalFestival,Spain”部分中的“TheoutdoorGeneralifeTheatrepresentsthevisualspectacularsoftheSpanishNationalBallet,HamburgBalletandSpain’sNationalDancepany.(户外的Generalife剧院呈现了西班牙国家芭蕾舞团、汉堡芭蕾舞团和西班牙国家舞蹈公司的视觉壮观表演。)”可知，GranadaInternationalFestival适合芭蕾爱好者。故选C项。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据“VerbierFestival,Switzerland”部分中的“Enjoyingitinthegreatoutdoors,ofcourse!（当然，在户外欣赏它！）”、GranadaInternationalFestival,Spain部分中的“TheoutdoorGeneralifeTheatre（户外的Generalife剧院）”、EdinburghInternationalFestival,Scotland部分中的“Historicsquaresbeecirclesaspeoplegathertowatchmiraculousperformers.（当人们聚集在一起观看奇迹般的表演者时，历史悠久的广场变成了圆形。）”以及GrandTetonMusicFestival,USA部分中的“thenaturalworldaswellaseightweeksofmusic（自然世界以及八周的音乐）”可知，这四个音乐节的共同点是它们都提供了户外场所来享受音乐。故选C项。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Summermaywellbethefavouriteseasonofclassicalmusiclovers,withnumerousfestivalsspanningallgenresandposerstakingplaceworldwide.Andwhat’sbetterthanenjoyingaliveperformanceofyourfavouritepiece?Enjoyingitinthegreatoutdoors,ofcourse!（夏季很可能是古典音乐爱好者最喜欢的季节，世界各地都有各种流派和作曲家的节日。还有什么比欣赏你最喜欢的作品的现场表演更好呢？当然是在户外享受它了！）”以及下文对四个音乐节的介绍可知，介绍不同国家夏季音乐节的文章，它提供了关于音乐节的时间、地点、特色表演者和节目的信息。这些信息通常在音乐杂志中找到，音乐杂志会涵盖音乐节、表演和其他音乐相关活动的信息。因此，这篇文章最有可能来自音乐杂志。故选A项。BMywifealwayswantedaVizsla,sowhenwegotthehouse,thegardenandeverythingsorted,wedidsomeresearchandfoundalovelybreeder(饲养员)basedinScotland.Hewasinchargeofeverything,soafewmonthsgobyandthenextthingIknow,we’vegotapuppy!I’vegrownupwithanimalsallmylife,andI’msogladIhave.IlovethefactthatIwasneverafraidofanyanimals.Althoughyoudoobviouslyhavetobecarefulwhenintroducingchildrentoadogtheydon’tknow,becauseyoudon’tknowhowit’sgoingtobehave,italwayssaddensmewhenIseechildrenscaredwhentheywalkpastPedro.Ithinkit’sgreatforkidstolearnhowtolookafterananimal.Andobviouslyforus,asafamily,it’sbrilliantbecausewetakePedroforsomanywalks.It’sabitofafamilybondingexperiencegettingoutinthefreshair;takingPedroforawalkmultipletimesadayisjustreallylovely.Meanwhile,themostrewarding,Ithink,isjustseeinghowamazingheiswiththekids.Heissocalm,soprotective,soloving,andwearehisworld.IthinkthemostchallengingaspectswithPedrowerewhenhewasapuppy(小狗).Hewasprettyhardwork.Hewasneveraggressive,buthewasquitebiteyaspuppiesare,constantlypullingoutyourclothesandputtingholesinthem,whichisveryannoying.Hechewedthefurnituremysofasarebarelystandingup;theirwoodenlegsarealmostinpieces.Obviously,thedogtraininginthehousewasquitestressfulandhisjumpingatstrangersintheparkandrunningoffwasalwaysquitescary.Asanewpuppyowner,you’reoverloadedwithadvicefromsocialmedia,magazines,otherdogownersandfriends,sofindingasourceofinformationyoutrustissoimportantandcanbearealturningpoint.Iknowwhatit’sliketobebombardedwithconflictinginformation,soIwouldhavereallyweledRoyalCanin’s“OneinaBillion”platformasanewpuppyowner.It’saonestopshopfornewdogowners:asinglesourceofcredibleinformationthatissohelpfulinnavigatingtheearlystagesofyourpuppy’slife.24.Whatdoweknowabouttheauthor?A.Heisinexperiencedinraisingpets.B.Heisunsupportiveofhiswife’sdesire.C.Hefeelsitapitythatchildrenshyawayfrompets.D.Hethinksoneshouldbecautiousaboutraisingpets.25.HowdoestheauthorthinkofPedro?A.Dangerousbutloyal.
