问题     Munich’s first "Oktoberfest" ever was held in 1810 to celebrate a royal wedding with horse races and culinary delights (婚宴软件). The culinary delights, namely beer, were much more popular than the wedding ceremony and horse races.
    Since then, the Munich beer festival has been repeated on an almost annual basis. Only major catastrophes like war or epidemic (瘟疫) outbreaks can stop Munich’s inhabitants from gathering at the green expanse, i.e. the festivals location.
    Even though it is called "Oktoberfest", the festival actually takes place in September, as Bavarian autumn can be tricky and surprise with early cold and snow.
    Today, the "Oktoberfest" is the largest festival worldwide attracting a multitude of visitors. Apart from beer tents the festival offers amusements as diverse as roller coasters, circus appearances, festive parades and live brass bands.
    The ceremonial opening happens at noon. The mayor arrives in a festive coach followed by a decorated horse-drawn brewer’s cart (啤酒拖车). Guests, staff and the numerous brass bands are all wearing traditional costumes for the occasion.
    It takes good nerves and a solid stomach to survive the festivals 16 days of intensive parrying. However, the festival is a huge success: Apart from attracting a multitude of visitors, the festivals brand name "Oktoberfest" has been exported all over the world. [br] According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
选项 A、Beer was less popular than the wedding ceremony and horse race.
B、The Munich beer festival is held every two years.
C、When a war or epidemic breaks out, people will still celebrate the Oktoberfest.
D、The Oktoberfest actually takes place in September.
答案 D
解析 事实细节题。题目询问根据文章，以下哪个选项说法正确。根据文章的第三段，可以知道D项(Oktoberfest实际上在九月份举行)为正确答案。A项(啤酒不如婚礼和赛马受欢迎)，其中的less popular than与首段中的much more popular than意思相悖。B项(慕尼黑啤酒节每两年举行一次)与文章第二段首句中的on an almost annual basis(一年一度的)意思不一致。C项(即使发生了战争或瘟疫，人们还是欢庆啤酒节)与文章第二段中的stop…from“阻止……发生”的意思相悖。
