Question

【題目】Europe is home to a variety of cultural treasures. Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide publisher, has offered pairs of cities for culturehungry but timepoor travelers.

London and Paris

It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a high-speed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decades－but each secretly looks up to the other.

No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris' Louvre Museum, but if you want to save money, you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit. Compared with London, Paris has more outdoor attractions such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee.

In Paris, you'll see diners linger over red wine. While in London, you can try some afternoon tea, eat fish and chips or salted cake.

Vienna and Bratislava

Austrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava are an hour apart by train. But since they are linked by the Danube River, the best way to travel is by ship. A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th century’s Habsburg dynasty splendor to scifi restaurants.

Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces. You can appreciate the perfect blending of architecture and nature in the grand Schonbrunn Palace, and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee, which has made its way to the world's cultural heritage list.

Bratislava is best known for its fine dining－the remarkable UFO restaurant. You can enjoy a meatladen dinner here in an amazing setting.

試題分析: 本文主要介紹了兩組對于旅游者來說不容錯過的歐洲城市：倫敦和巴黎，維也納和布拉迪斯拉發(fā)

【1】B 詞意猜測。根據(jù)第二段提到The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decades－but each secretly looks up to the other兩個城市在時尚，藝術(shù)和夜生活競爭了锪上，但彼此又私下尊敬，故選B項；

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris' Louvre Museum”可知a被提及了；根據(jù)本段中的“Paris has more outdoor attractions”可知c被提及了。而文中關(guān)于巴黎的優(yōu)點并沒有提到b和d，因此選C。

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from...to scifi restaurants.”和最后一段中的“Bratislava is best known for its fine dining－the remarkable UFO restaurant”可推知Bratislava是最好的選擇，故選D項；

【4】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“Lonely Planet，the world's largest travel guide publisher，has offered pairs of cities for culture-hungry but time-poor travelers”并結(jié)合下文的內(nèi)容可知，每組中的兩個城市相距不遠(yuǎn)，可以節(jié)約時間，而且它們有著不同的豐富文化，因此才推薦給旅游者，故選D項；
