2、说明文的目的是使读者获得某种知识,提出某种建议、劝告或呼吁,或希望引起有关部门或人士对某现象给予重视。(3)记叙文的目的一般是分享一段有趣的经历,告诉读者一个有趣的故事,使读者获得乐趣;若是夹叙夹议的文章,则是表达作者的感悟或给读者某种教育或启示。(4)广告是作者要推销一种产品或一种服务,因此其目的是吸引更多顾客、游客读者、订户观众等。阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。1.The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may _.A.allow travelers to make
