解析

本文介绍了世界文化节，介绍了这个文化节中的Crafts，Music and Dance，Storytelling和Food这几项的具体信息。小题1:B【试题解析】细节题。根据第二段2,3行Watch the delicate art of making paper umbrellas from Thailand and the decorative craft of paper picado, or paper cutting, from Mexico.可知在这个节日里你看一看见制作伞的艺术。故B正确。小题2:C【试题解析】细节题。根据文章倒数第二段倒数第二行Children ranging in age from 6 – 8 can learn the kinderpolka from Germany.可知kinderpolka是来自德国的舞蹈。故C正确。小题3:C【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段Enjoy irresistible foods from other countries, such as gyros from Greece, afood paella from Spain, crepes from France, and tandoori chicken from India. The tasty dishes will be difficult to pass up.中的最后一句The tasty dishes will be difficult to pass up可知这些美食都是不能错过的，故y irresistible 表示C项含义。故C正确。小题4:D【试题解析】细节题。根据Tickets August 14和Ages 12 and under Free可知在8月14日12岁以下的孩子是免费的。所以这一天对于6-12岁的孩子是最便宜的。故D正确。【长难句解析】1.People reprenting 40 cultural groups will share their traditions and customs.【翻译】代表着40种文化的人将和大家分享他们的传统和风俗。【分析】本句中有一个现在分词短语reprenting 40 cultural groups来修饰前面的名词people，因为动词reprent与主语people构成逻辑上的主动关系，所以使用现在分词的形式。相当于短语从句who reprent 40 cultural groups。如果动词和名词构成被动关系，就使用过去分词的形式。2.Here are just a few of the festival's many activities.【翻译】接下来就是这次节日里的很多活动。【分析】本句是一个全部倒装句，副词here提前在句首，因为后面的主语是名词，所以使用全部倒装的形式。如Here comes the bus.公交车来了；如果主语不是名词，是代词，则不需要全部倒装。如Here you are。
