Unlike last year，when he had flown in all the way from London，England，this years title winner was Chico，California resident Walle，who beat out 29 other equally “ugly contestants”. The refreshing part was that Walle，who happened to be a last minute entrant(参赛者)，is not a nearly hairless，Chinese Crested Chihuahua or a mix of both breeds，which have been dominating the contest for many years now. Instead，he is a mutt mixpart beagle，part basset and part boxer.The fouryearold impressed the judges with his giant head and humped back. As one of them put it，he looked as though he had been photoshopped with pieces from various dogs and maybe a few other animals. It exactly represents the kind of natural “ugliness” they were looking for!Along with the title，the first time entrant received a cash prize of $1，500 as well as scheduled appearances on NBCs weekend Today on Sunday，the Today Show on Monday and the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Wednesday.Though the petition may seem unbelievable to some people，it is held just for fun and organized by an animal psychiatrist who not only vets the dogs before they enter the petition to ensure they are healthy，but also has a “pet” talk with them to ensure they are also happy. It is also important to remember all the contestants e from homes where they are loved because of their rather unusual looks. After all，beauty is in the eye of the beholder!【解题导语】在2013年6月21日举行的世界上最丑的狗的比赛上，一条三个品种的杂交狗赢得了“世界上最丑的狗”这个头衔。1What makes this years winner of the contest special?AThat it is a nearly hairless dog.BThat it is a mix of both breeds.CThat it is a mix of several breeds.DThat has constantly won the contest.答案C细节理解题。根据第三段的Instead，he is a mutt mixpart beagle，part basset and part boxer.可知这条狗的特别之处在于是三个品种的杂交狗。2Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that the dog _Ais very popular with dog loversBwas produced mainly for the contestCwasnt thought to be ugly by all the judgesDreally deserves the title of the “Worlds Ugliest Dog”答案D推理判断题。根据第四段的he looked as though.natural “ugliness” they were looking for! 可知这条狗真够格拥有“世界上最丑的狗”这个头衔。3What will the dog do after winning the contest?AIt will go to some TV shows.BIt will appear in some movies.CIt will receive a prize of $15，000.DIt will take part in some other contests.答案A细节理解题。根据第五段的as well as scheduled.on Wednesday可知这条狗赢得比赛后会去参加几个电视节目。41Whats the purpose of holding the contest?ATo attract more attention to dogs.BTo tell people how to choose dogs.CTo insult the ugliest dogs in the world.DTo make dog owners and people have fun.答案D细节理解题。根据末段的it is held just for fun可知这个比赛纯粹是为了好玩，故选D。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。体裁题材词数难度建议用时说明文社会文化2626分钟(xx新课标全国卷)In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团)It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000 people yearly.At the same time，the“Fringe”appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by littleknown writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the“Fringe”，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了爱丁堡边缘(Fringe)艺术节的成立以及发展壮大的情况。1What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?ATo bring Europe together again.BTo honor heroes of World War.CTo introduce young theatre groups.DTo attract great artists from Europe.答案A细节理解题。根据第一段的The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.可知，成立爱丁堡边缘艺术节的目的是使二战后的欧洲重新团结。故选A。2Why did some uninvited theatre groups e to Edinburgh in 1947?AThey owned a public house there.BThey came to take up a challenge.CThey thought they were also famous.DThey wanted to take part in the festival.答案D细节理解题。根据第三段的in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform可知，他们认为他们有权利参加这个节日。故选D。3Who joined the“Fringe”after it appeared?APopular writers.BUniversity students.CArtists from around the world.DPerformers of music and dance.答案B细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，在爱丁堡边缘艺术节成立后不久，很多大学生参加了这个节日。故选B。4We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival _Ahas bee a nonofficial eventBhas gone beyond an art festivalCgives shows all year roundDkeeps growing rapidly答案D推理判断题。根据文章内容尤其最后一段可知爱丁堡边缘艺术节是一个官方组织的活动，只在每年八月举行，现在发展很迅速。由此可知选D。
