Munich’s first "Oktoberfest" ever was held in 1810 to celebrate a royal wedding with horse races and culinary delights (婚宴软件). The culinary delights, namely beer, were much more popular than the wedding ceremony and horse races.
Since then, the Munich beer festival has been repeated on an almost annual basis. Only major
catastrophes
like war or epidemic (瘟疫) outbreaks can stop Munich’s inhabitants from gathering at the green expanse, i.e. the festivals location.
Even though it is called "Oktoberfest", the festival actually takes place in September, as Bavarian autumn can be tricky and surprise with early cold and snow.
Today, the "Oktoberfest" is the largest festival worldwide attracting a multitude of visitors. Apart from beer tents the festival offers amusements as diverse as roller coasters, circus appearances, festive parades and live brass bands.
The ceremonial opening happens at noon. The mayor arrives in a festive coach followed by a decorated horse-drawn brewer’s cart (啤酒拖车). Guests, staff and the numerous brass bands are all wearing traditional costumes for the occasion.
It takes good nerves and a solid stomach to survive the festivals 16 days of intensive parrying. However, the festival is a huge success: Apart from attracting a multitude of visitors, the festivals brand name "Oktoberfest" has been exported all over the world. [br] The word "catastrophe" (line 2, Para. 2) means "________".
选项
A、disaster
B、incident
C、accident
D、celebration
答案
A
解析
词汇题。题目询问第二段第二行catastrophe的含义是什么。对于词汇题,需要联系上下文猜测词义。本题可从后文like war or epidemic outbreaks推断。like在此表示列举,“战争或瘟疫爆发”属于灾难,故A项disaster(灾难)正确。B项incident(事件)和C项accident(事故)不能涵盖“灾难”所表达的意义。D项celebration(庆祝活动)与逻辑相悖。
