What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals. Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £ 1--the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength--in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £ 112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran (老的、著名的) superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talents, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities(慈善事业).
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this tear, the Live 8 concerts, were held simultaneously (同时) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars, such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight international poverty and debt.
Which of the following is TRUE based on the passage?
选项
A、The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.
B、In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could get milk from the farm without paying.
C、Both James Brown and Joss Stone are skilled and experienced superstars.
D、In the 2004 Glastonbury Festival, the tickets were in great demand despite the high price.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。根据第三段中的第二句Tickets for the event sold out within three hours.可知,尽管票价很高,但是不到3小时就被抢购一空,所以正确的答案为D。
