吉林省长春市一〇八中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期第三次月考英语试题
If you plan to visit the town of Ivrea in northern Italy in February, you might want to bring some extra soap and shampoo(洗发剂). Every year, thousands of people come to this small town to witness one of the strangest and messiest battle s in the world. It is known as the Battle of the Oranges.
The Battle of the Oranges is a three-day long festival. People travel from all over the world to watch it. No one seems to agree on exactly how this food fight got started. No matter how it began, the tradition is being carried on today in very sticky ways.
To prepare for the battle, 57, 000 crates(集装箱) of rotten oranges are ordered from Sicily. These oranges were meant to be thrown away. Now they have a new purpose. People divide up into teams. Each team wears their own type of wild and colorful uniform. Those walking around with red hats on are there just to watch, so no one throws fruit at them.
During the battle, one team rides in a horse-drawn carriage(马车). It is filled with oranges. The other team is on the ground. When the orderl is given, the teams begin throwing the stinky(有臭味的), sticky fruit at each other. When the throwing is done, judges decide who had the best aim, who wore the most unusual uniforms, and who managed to avoid running into the horses.
Once the battle is over, the city celebrates with a big parade(游行). Then, visitors go home and the real work begins. More than 100 people come into the city. They are there to clean up the incredible mess left behind. Soon, all traces of the battle are over-until February returns again next year.
① Over 100 people come into the city to do the cleaning.
②To prepare 57, 000 crates of rotten oranges.
③The city celebrates with a big parade.
④People divide up into teams with their own uniforms.
