Question

Traveling to Europe to see its famous monuments like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Colosseum (古罗马竞技场) in Rome, is not exactly the ideal vacation for kids. Fortunately, Europe has more to offer than lots of old churches and ancient history. You can enjoy some fun in the sun at some of the famous beaches of the continent.

Mykonos, Greece

The closer you get to the equator, the longer the beach season and Greece is wonderful for that. You can enjoy beautiful green water, public chairs and lovely umbrellas at the beaches in Mykonos.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

There’s nothing more attractive than the beautiful beaches bordering Dubrovnik, Croatia’s most beautiful city. It’s surrounded by stone walls like a castle. It almost makes you feel like you’re suntanning (晒黑皮肤) at Hogwarts, where the hero Harry Porter of the story is trained!

Sicily, Italy

Rabbit beach on the island of Sicily offers shallow, crystal clear waters making it a perfect beach for families with young children. And if you want to add interest to your experience, try snorkeling (使用水下呼吸管潜游)!

Nice, France

Lined with palm trees and first-class hotels, the city of Nice, located on the French Riviera, offers a whole coastline of Mediterranean beaches. Because they’re in the heart of the city, these beaches attract a large crowd. So if you’re looking for something more private, you’ll have to travel a few miles outside of the city center.

Ribadeo, Spain

At low tide, Playa de las Catedrales in Ribadeo, Spain is the perfect beach to take in the natural wonders without urban amusements like restaurants, bars or huge crowds. It boasts beautiful wildflowers and unique rock formations making it truly picture worthy.

【解析】

试题解析：文章主要向人们介绍了欧洲五个著名的海滩。

1.Dubrovnik的细节信息，而在文章主体的第二部分讲到了Dubrovnik, Croatia，其中提到“It’s surrounded by stone walls like a castle. ”，所以该题正确答案为A.

2.which is in the city”即在城市内部，所以根据文章描述，不难发现该特征只有C.Nice符合（在介绍Nice时讲到“Because they’re in the heart of the city”）.

3.Ribadeo的具体信息，所以可以从文章最后部分Ribadeo, Spain来找到答案。从该部分中“Spain is the perfect beach to take in the natural wonders without urban amusements like restaurants, bars or huge crowds. It boasts beautiful wildflowers and unique rock formations making it truly picture worthy. ”可知，Ribadeo是个有着自然奇观的海滩，它没有像餐馆、酒吧、拥挤的人群这样的城市娱乐成分。它拥有的漂亮的野花和独特的岩层使得它很值得拍照留念。故正确答案为D.

4.Fortunately, Europe has more to offer than lots of old churches and ancient history. You can enjoy some fun in the sun at some of the famous beaches of the continent. ”可知，在下文所介绍的5个地方都是欧洲著名的海滩。所以正确答案为B.

5. 推理判断题。A. A travel guide.“旅行指南”B. A geography textbook.“地理教材”C. An advertisement.“广告”D. A news report.“新闻报道”。文章有针对性的对也适合于孩子们旅游的欧洲海滩进行简介，它没有广告的煽动性，没有地理教材的具体，也没有新闻报道的实效性，故该文应节选自A travel guide.
