Visiting a festival abroad can be a great reason to travel and a way to experience different cultures. These days there is such a number of choices that it’s possible to spend the whole summer watching live music in exciting places. Of course, it’s also a chance to meet people from across the world.
Melt! Festival, Germany
This festival takes place on the site of an open air museum for industrial machinery. There’s also a lake which can be used for swimming when it’s hot. This year’s line-up has over 120 different bands (樂隊(duì)). Around 90% of the people attending the festival are German providing a perfect chance to practise speaking the language.
Exit Festival, Serbia
Set on the banks of the Danube in an old fortress (城堡), the festival began as a way to show people’s dissatisfaction with the government. These days it’s less political (政治的) but still worries about people who are poor, ill, old, etc and tries to help them. This year’s festival will host many famous bands. From electronic music and dance music to hard rock, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Scotland
Set on a Scottish estate (莊園) near Inverness, this year Belladrum will welcome artists from around the world. The most enjoyable part of the weekend is the ceilidh (traditional Scottish dance and party) which is always a lively event. It doesn’t even matter if you’re a beginner because the band teaches you each dance.
Open’er Festival, Poland
Held in an airfield near the northern city of Gdansk, each year Open’er has a seriously good selection of bands. This year is no exception, with many famous bands set to play. Not only are there amazing artists, but both Poland and the festival itself also provide very excellent value for money.

【點(diǎn)睛】文章主題和中心思想的闡述往往需要大量細(xì)節(jié)信息的支持,這些細(xì)節(jié)對于理解全文內(nèi)容至關(guān)重要,同時(shí)也是歸納和概括文章中心思想的基礎(chǔ)。命題人往往會要求考生根據(jù)不同的要求閱讀文章,以獲得某些特定的信息,或準(zhǔn)確地尋求所需的細(xì)節(jié),并對細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行直接或間接辨認(rèn)和理解。文章細(xì)節(jié)的理解可以細(xì)化為:(1)一一對應(yīng)型。答案與題目在表達(dá)形式和意義上直接吻合,一一對應(yīng),一目了然。屬于淺層次的閱讀試題,分?jǐn)?shù)比例較少。(2)語言轉(zhuǎn)述型。這是一類間接事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題,答案與題目在意義上從分運(yùn)用了詞義之間的轉(zhuǎn)述關(guān)系,即正確選項(xiàng)是原文有關(guān)詞語和句子的另類表達(dá)。屬于中檔難度題,分?jǐn)?shù)比例較大。(3)語意理解型。這是一類深層事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)理解題,答案與題目之間存在著一定的邏輯聯(lián)系,這種聯(lián)系需要建立在事實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上通過上、下文來進(jìn)行判斷、分析、歸納和整合,才能得出正確答案。屬于較高難度的事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。(4)是非辨別型。這是一類綜合事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題,出題形式常常是“三正一誤”(三項(xiàng)正確,只有一項(xiàng)不符合原文內(nèi)容)或“三誤一正”(三項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤,只有一項(xiàng)符合原文內(nèi)容)。(5)事實(shí)排序型。這是一類運(yùn)用多項(xiàng)事實(shí)進(jìn)行排序的事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題,要求根據(jù)動作發(fā)生的先后順序、時(shí)間順序或者句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系,找出時(shí)間發(fā)生,發(fā)展的正確順序。例如文章的第1小題屬于細(xì)節(jié)理解中的(1)一一對應(yīng)型。答案與題目在表達(dá)形式和意義上直接吻合。文章第2小題和第3小題則屬于(3)語言轉(zhuǎn)述型。這是一類間接事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題,答案與題目在意義上從分運(yùn)用了詞義之間的轉(zhuǎn)述關(guān)系,即正確選項(xiàng)是原文有關(guān)詞語和句子的另類表達(dá)。屬于中檔難度題,分?jǐn)?shù)比例較大。
