    The powwow was just fantastic! I could never have imagined how colorful and impressive this morning would be. The dances find the clothes, which were decorated with eagle feathers, attracted me.

I had heard about the powwow dancing in our culture class at Rice University, so I wanted very much to see what the Native Americans would look like in their traditional clothes.

The opening dance was scheduled to start at 730 a. m. Since I didn't want to miss any dances, I arrived there on timehowever, the dancing began an hour late. How could I have forgotten that Native Americans have a different feeling for time, which I had learned in our class? I had intended to go back for my term survey paper as soon as the great one-and-a-half hour event was over!

First, they started to play music with their drums it was accompanied by their low voices. “Hamma hamma…”. The music was exactly the same as I had heard in the movies.

Then, the Native Americans gradually changed their clothes they wore their own extremely amazing clothes for the dances, with their hairstyles special and faces multicolored(多颜色的).

Finally, the competitions were started the participants danced in different groups. They swung their arms and moved their feet in special steps, always to the beat of the music.

After one hour and a half of enthusiastically enjoying them, I took a walk along the food stands to eat some special Native American fried bread and other snacks. And I left that wonderful place for my hotel, having stayed two hours longer than I had first planned to stay.

I will never forget this wonderful morning that gave me a little view into the culture of Native Americans.

1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在大学时有一次舞会上看到美洲原住民穿着自己非常漂亮的衣服参加舞会,这给作者留下了深刻的印象。 1. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I had heard about the powwow dancing in our culture class at Rice University”可知,我听说过在莱斯大学的文化课上跳巫术。由此可推知,作者是一名大学生。故选A项。 2. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“How could I have forgotten that Native Americans have a different feeling for time, which I had learned in our class?”可知,我怎么能忘记我在班上学到的美洲原住民对时间有不同的观点呢?由此可推知,作者对波沃舞晚开始一小时觉得很正常。故选B项。 3. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“so I wanted very much to see what the Native Americans would look like in their traditional clothes”和第五段中的“Then, the Native Americans gradually changed their clothes; they wore their own extremely amazing clothes for the dances, with their hairstyles special and faces multicolored.”可知,后来,美洲原住民逐渐换上了衣服,他们穿着自己非常漂亮的衣服参加舞会,他们的发型很特别,脸上五颜六色。由此可推知,波沃舞的传统服装给作者留下了最深刻的印象。故选C项。 4. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The opening dance was scheduled to start at 7 :30 a. m. Since I didn't want to miss any dances, I arrived there on time”“I had intended to go back for my term survey paper as soon as the great one-and-a-half hour event was over!”和倒数第二段中的“And I left that wonderful place for my hotel , having stayed two hours longer than I had first planned to stay.”可知,开幕舞定在早上7:30开始,因为我不想错过任何舞会,所以我准时到达了那里;一个半小时的盛事一结束,我就打算回去做学期调查报告;我离开了那个美妙的地方,去了我的旅馆,比我原先计划的住得长了两个小时。由此可推知,作者7:30准时来舞会,在舞会待了三个半小时,所以作者最终回旅馆的时间是11:00。故选D项。
