They pitch tents (帐篷) in the southern part of Nagqu town. During the festival, thousands of tents with paintings of all kinds of Buddhas will be set up in the area, stretching (绵延) miles. It makes the grassland look like a small town. On the day for the opening ceremony of the festival, people from all over Tibet will pour into this grassland. Colorful flags are flying against the blue sky; horses are racing; herdsmen are showing their riding skills; some are dancing.People around the “tent town” will be cooking and drinking. This is really a lively picture that you should not miss. After the opening ceremony, the recreational and trade activities will start, such as horse races, carrying rocks, and performing Tibetan operas.All together, these activities will last 3 to 7 days. The horse racing festival has a long history. It dates from the ancient military review (阅兵式) in the Tubo tribe (部落) in the area. It is also the traditional occasion for horse trade. The buying and selling of horses at these fairs attracts Tibetans from near and far. Nowadays, the local government also attaches great importance to the occasion and considers it a good chance to help the economic development in the area. Business talks are held and modern activities like fashion shows can also be seen there. It has become a bright part in the tourism of Tibet. 1．The underlined word “pitch” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “________”． A．put up　　　　　　 B．take apart C．turn out D．look over 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“During the festival, thousands of tents ... will be set up in the area”可知，在节日期间，画有各种各样佛陀的成千上万的帐篷在那曲镇的南部草原上搭建，绵延数英里。故画线词与set up同义，意为“搭建”。 2．Which
