1.C细节题。根据第一则广告OCF is an event of shopping & atmosphere, and food ranging from Indian & Afghani cuisine to Italian & France cuisine．可知，只有dance没有讲到。

2.A推断题。根据第二则广告的标题30^th Annual Seaside Beach Volleyball Tournament, 8 am to 6 pm on March 12 – 14，可知，2012-30=1982.

3.C推断题。根据前面三个广告都没有提到outing，所以应选择Other event information.答案为C。

4.D细节题。根据People of the Oregon coast fear Hood to Coast, because local towns and streets are flooded．这里的flooded是指城镇和街道会被人群所淹没，故选D。
