Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you’ll realize they’re everywhere---the crazier, the better.
1. Bibimbap Festival
In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce (韩国的辣椒酱) so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
2. Waikiki Spam Jam (怀基基午餐肉节)
Who knew this canned meat had so much love? Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May serving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
3. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.
Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) - 15,000 eggs strong - for the townsfolk (市民).
4. Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota(明尼苏达州), the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five-and six-year-old girls.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bibimbap Festival下第一段中的 their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce “他们的“什锦饭”是一道丰盛的米饭，上面放着生牛肉、彩虹蔬菜、生鸡蛋和辣椒酱” 可知Bibimbap 是米饭混合各种蔬菜而成的，分析选项可知D符合题意，故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二个标题Waikiki Spam Jam下第二段中的The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May serving... 可知，Waikiki Spam Jam节发生在夏威夷，时间是5月份。由此可知B项符合题意，故选B。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，四个最疯狂的美食节分别发生在Bibimbap Festival是在韩国、Waikiki Spam Jam在美国、Bessieres Easter Egg Festival在法国、Potato Days Festival在美国。分析选项可知，韩国是属于亚洲的，故想了解亚洲饮食文化，要去韩国的Bibimbap Festival，故A为正确答案。
【点睛】文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。如第1小题就属于细节理解题中较为简单的细节辨认。根据Bibimbap Festival下第一段中的 their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce “他们的“什锦饭”是一道丰盛的米饭，上面放着生牛肉、彩虹蔬菜、生鸡蛋和辣椒酱” 可知Bibimbap 是米饭混合各种蔬菜而成的，分析选项可知D符合题意，故选D。解答此类试题时，不必通篇细看原文，而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法，先从问题中抓住关键性词语（题眼），然后以此为线索，运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的：段落、语句，仔细品味，对照比较，确定答案。
当然细节理解题有时考查的并不是单一的信息，而是多处信息的整合。解答此类“综合”信息细节题时，一定要全面捕捉相关信息，进行综合分析、归纳，切忌根据“一面之词”草率地作出结论。
