【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
Guilin is my favorite city in China because of its beauty, its waterways, its cafes, and most of all because I met my wife there. It is her hometown and we will both retire there in a few years.
Not only is Guilin a fascinating city, there are many interesting places to visit within a short drive from there. The Ling (sometimes called Lingqu) canal is the oldest canal in the world. It was built about 2,200 years ago and connects two major river systems, the Yangtze (to the east) and the Pearl River.
Longsheng Rice Terraces (龍勝梯田) is another manmade wonder that was built around 650 years ago. I have some photos of both of these places in my China Daily homepage Albums. Gudong Waterfall Park(古東瀑布) is another attraction that is worth visiting. The hike to the top of all these waterfalls isn’t very difficult and if you want, you can take a ride to the bottom on a personal rail car whose speed you can control with a brake.
If you want you can also climb up some of the waterfalls with the help of chains that are placed for the convenience of amateur climbers.
I have only been in Guilin during the winter and spring but my wife tells me it gets pretty hot in the summertime. That’s OK because I grew up in the Midwest of the US where it gets very hot and humid during the summer months. It rarely freezes in the winter and the spring and autumn are pleasant. Guilin receives a lot of rain, especially in late spring and early summer. Because of this there is lush(多汁的) plant life and many large trees in the area.
Being from California I’m used to having a car to get around. In fact, it’s practically a necessity in California. But in Guilin almost everything is within walking distance and if you need to go further, public buses are available every five minutes on the busy streets and every 10-15 minutes just about everywhere else. There are plenty of taxis too and most trips are only six yuan.
It’s a perfect place to retire.
(1)What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Guilin Is My Favorite Chinese City
B.Guilin Is a Place to Retire
C.Guilin Has Many Beautiful Places
D.Living in Guilin
(2)Which is not true according to the passage?
A.The writer met his wife in Guilin.
B.The writer has been in Guilin during the summer.
C.Lingqu is the oldest canal in the world.
D.Lush plants and large trees are very common in Guilin.
(3)Which of the following is not mentioned in the passag?
A.Places of interest.
B.Climate.
C.Transportation.
D.Population.
(4)We can learn from the sixth paragraph that_________.
A.a car is a necessity in Guilin
B.Guilin has a busy traffic system
C.nearly everything is within walking distance
D.taking taxis may cost you too much
(5)Which section of a newspaper is the passage most probably taken from?
A.Science and technology.
B.Fashion and entertainment.
C.Health and diet.
D.Travel and transport.
