19、hts (婚宴饮料 ). 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 Munichs inhabitants from gatherin

20、g 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 vi

21、sitors. 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 brewers cart (啤酒拖车 ). Guests, staff a

22、nd 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 partying.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Here are some situations where renti

27、ng makes more sense than buying. 1. Job uncertainty. If you are a professional working with a company that can, or does, transfer you to different cities in short periods of time, then it may not make sense to buy. Renting allows you the flexibility of moving at the drop of a hat. If you are a profe

28、ssional on the move, make sure any lease (租赁合同 ) you sign is a “tenancy (租赁 ) at will“, meaning, you can leave on 60 days (or a different agreed upon time) notice. Breaking a lease can be expensive, so keep this in mind. 2. Traveling. If you are constantly traveling with your job; particularly overs

29、eas, you may want to consider renting until you find the place you want to settle in. Owning a home requires that you are around (or someone reliable is around) to maintain your property.

33、e crashed in the late 1980s （ C） no market is as certain as the housing market （ D） many people would buy a car earlier than buying a house 44 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? （ A） For those who have bought houses, they will need to increase their car insurance. （ B） When

34、 you break the lease, you can suffer financial loss. （ C） Many people lost a lot of money when the housing market crashed in the late 1980s. （ D） The crash of the housing market could hardly be possible. 45 What can be the best title for the passage? （ A） How to Rent a House （ B） Risks in Buying a H
