Question

【題目】

France is famous for its fine art, tasty food and romantic scenery（風景）. About 75 million visitors come here every year.

France is the largest country in Western Europe. The country is home to many famous places of interest, like the River Seine and the Eiffel Tower.

Many visitors also come for the country’s art. Sculptor（雕刻家）Auguste Rodin and painter Claude Monet once created their great works here. If you visit France today, it is not a surprise to meet street artists in the city or come across a singer in the subway.

No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to Louvre( 盧浮宮 ), one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Inside, there are 35,000 works of art, such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da Vinci and the statue（雕塑）David by Michelangelo. It would take nine months to enjoy all the pieces.

Besides, French food is world famous. Bread is very important in France. The best known French bread is called a baguette（法棍面包）. They are long, delicious and taste salty. Snails （蝸牛）are also a must-have here. French people eat 40,000 tons of snails every year!

But France is not always good. Paris, the city of light, may also show its dark side to visitors. Chinese visitors feel sorry about the crowded subway in Paris.

【1】How many visitors come to France every year?

【2】Who created the famous painting Mona Lisa?

【3】Is France always good ? Why do Chinese visitors feel sorry about the subway in Paris?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】About 75 million

【2】Da Vinci.

【3】No. Because of the crowded subway in Paris/Because.

【解析】本文主要介紹了法國的藝術，美麗的風景和美食。法國以其藝術、美味的食物和浪漫的風景而出名。每年大約有7500萬游客來這里。法國是西歐最大的國家。這個國家有許多著名的名勝古跡，像塞納河和埃菲爾鐵塔。許多游客也為了法國的來這里。雕塑家奧古斯特·羅丹和畫家克勞德·莫奈曾經(jīng)在這里創(chuàng)造了他們的偉大的作品。如果你今天去法國，在城里遇到街頭藝人或在地鐵里遇到一個歌手并不奇怪。不去盧浮宮等于沒有去巴黎。盧浮宮是世界上最大、最著名的博物館。里面，有35000的藝術作品，如達芬奇的《蒙娜麗莎》米切朗基羅的雕像《戴維》。要花九個月的時間才能欣賞所有的作品。此外，法國食物世界聞名的。面包在法國很重要。最有名的法國面包就是法棍面包。它們又長又好吃，嘗起來有點咸。在這里蝸牛也是必需品。法國人每年吃掉40000噸蝸牛！但法國并不總是好的。巴黎，光之城，也可能向游客展示其陰暗面。中國游客對巴黎擁擠的地鐵感到遺憾。

【1】題意：每年有多少游客來法國？根據(jù)第1段第2句About 75 million visitors come here every year.可知，每年有大約7千5百萬游客來巴黎，故用About 75 million.

【2】題意：誰創(chuàng)作了著名的繪畫《蒙娜麗莎》？根據(jù)第4段第2句中such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da Vinci可知，《夢娜麗莎》是達芬奇畫的，故用Da Vinci.

【3】題意：法國總是好的嗎？為什么中國游客對巴黎地鐵感到遺憾？根據(jù)最后一段But France is not always good. Paris, the city of light, may also show its dark side to visitors. （但法國并不總是好的。巴黎，光之城，也可能向游客展示其陰暗面。）Chinese visitors feel sorry about the crowded subway in Paris.（中國游客對巴黎擁擠的地鐵感到遺憾。） 可知，中國人對于法國的地鐵不滿意，因為太擁擠了，故答案是No. Because of the crowded subway in Paris/Because.。
