Visit at Night

Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level, the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across t he Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.

【解析】本文主要介紹了參觀巴黎埃菲爾鐵塔的一些建議。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Visit at Night部分的you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”.可知，你能看到巴黎的夜景，會知道為什么它是一個聞名于世的光之城，這正是巴黎的特有的景色，故選C。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本段的標(biāo)題Purchase Your Ticket in Advance Online（提前網(wǎng)上購票）可知，Bypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website.意為“通過在埃菲爾鐵塔網(wǎng)站上買票，可以避開在埃菲爾鐵塔處長長的購票隊(duì)伍”，通過句意的理解，再結(jié)合4個選項(xiàng)里的單詞意思，可知bypass的意思就是avoid，故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with You部分中的If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours witnessing people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.可知如果你隨身攜帶的物品觸發(fā)了金屬探測器，那么你就會被帶走做進(jìn)一步的審查，你也就上不去了，故選C。
