题目内容
9.On Saturday my Catalan friend invited me to come along to a Calotada.Being from the UK,I had no idea what this would need,but he promised me it was a fun Catalan(卡塔兰)tradition,and so I agreed to go.I wasn't disappointed!First,we took a train out to a small town near Tarragona,about an hour away from Barcelona centre.I was already amazed by how different everything looked from the city as the train rushed thought small towns,all sitting on the coastline.
When we arrived,we were greeted by the sight of a small wind instrument band and about a dozen people dancing in a circle.While my friend later told me that it is a traditional Catalan dance called La Sardana,at the time I was totally confused at what I was seeing!It seemed so strange but yet so lovely that they were doing this dance completely for themselves.
Once we had been fully entertained by the dancers,we finally went inside for the Calatada and it was soon revealed to me what it actually was.We sat down at the table and a huge plate of leeks(大葱)was placed in front of us.It was explained to us that you have to peel the leeks with your fingers,dip them in a (delicious@!) sauce and eat them.This sounds easier than it was.
My friend had been right in the end,it had been an extremely fun day and it felt great to get involved in a local tradition of a place I am temporarily calling home.It really inspired me to learn more about the Catalan culture,although hopefully next time it will be something less messy!

分析 这是一篇社会文化类阅读,作者讲述了自己和朋友一起去感受了一个新的有趣的传统-卡塔兰传统.首先迎接他们的是一个小乐队吹奏乐器,还有十几人在跳传统的加泰罗尼亚的舞蹈-萨达纳舞,然后他们一起尝试了当地的用手指剥蒜并蘸酱直接吃的习俗等,虽然作者并不认为卡塔兰传统是完美的,但是还是玩的很开心.
解答 28.A 细节理解题.根据文中的第一段中I had no idea what this would need,but he promised me it was a fun Catalan(卡塔兰)tradition,and so I agreed to go 意为:我并不认为这有什么值得去的,但我朋友向我保证加泰罗尼亚有着有趣的卡塔兰传统,所以我就同意去了.可知作者答应前往的原因是想体验一下不同的传统习俗,故选A.
29.B 细节理解题.根据文中的第二段中we took a train out to a small town near Tarragona可知他们是坐火车到达一个塔拉戈纳附近的小镇,故选B.
