(·泰州高港区高二月考)If you want to fully enjoy your vacation, then you'd better check the Durban City Tours! This is actually one of the best choices in South Africa today.

There is nothing more relaxing than to think about that there is a place to go and relax, right? City life is strained, but you can escape this situation and be in the place where there is nothing but relaxation. Here in Durban you will get to see all the amazing tourist attractions. If you love animals and want to see some elephants wandering around the streets, then Durban is the place to go. You can even get to ride one if you want!

Here you will also get to taste all the delicious South African food. You can choose from Italian cooking to its native dishes. Durban is a great place to tour with your friends and family. You will learn a lot about its history through the landmarks you will see down the streets. Tourists and even the local villagers just can't get enough of these treats!

However, it is important that you make the necessary arrangements. There are actually lots of tour guides that will help you as you make your journey along the streets of Durban. But if you prefer the best tour guides here in Durban, then you'd better settle for the Street Scene Tours. Their staff are all well－trained and professional. They will certainly make your stay here an unforgettable one. No wonder tourists prefer the Street Scene Tours when it comes to Durban City Tours.

B．People don't like city life.

A．The food can't satisfy them.

B．They are bored with the streets.

C．They are treated very well here.

Having traveled to other countries several times and being somewhat familiar with the French culture, through reading books, I can confidently say I have not witnessed this thing called culture shock first－hand.However, I'm not going to lie and say the day－to－day life is exactly like that of an American.

In America we value everything big! “The bigger the better” could certainly be the motto. France brings a fresh alternative. It's very rare to see a large car. In fact, the smaller the car, the better chance you have of parking in those ever－so－tiny parking places. Besides, ovens, microwaves, and refrigerators are nearly half the size.

Dinner in France appears to be an event; it is pretty typical to plan for at least 2 hours for your meal. Good quality conversation, enjoying those you are with, and appreciating your food and the experience are vital factors. Americans are all about keeping things moving. Waiters in France come around a lot less frequently. They are not so much concerned about making more money and getting the next customer in the door.

Shopping provides a slight change of pace. Walking to the markets and frequenting the shops a few times per week keeps me busy compared to my once per week shopping back home. A note is posted on my door as I leave my apartment reminding me to bring my own bags. Using your own bags to carry your groceries home is the only option available. Walking into a grocery store with no bags and no cash， as I always rely on credit cards, is not a good idea as you must pay cash to use a shopping cart. I was extremely surprised when I first experienced this but I'm already thinking I need to bring this back to America! You won't find someone leaving their cart in the middle of the parking place in France, as you have to take the cart back to get your money back. Brilliant!

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。作者通过自己到法国的旅游经历说明了法国生活方式跟美国生活方式的不同。

A．prefer something smaller 

B．can't afford bigger cars

C．don't have enough parking space

D．also like to use something big

答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，相对美国而言，法国人喜欢型号较小的东西。故选A。

6．What do we know about dinner in France?

A．It is just a waste of time.

B．It is very pleasant and relaxing.

C．It requires a lot of waiters.

D．It is quite expensive in general.

答案：B　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Good quality conversation, enjoying those you are with, and appreciating your food and the experience are vital factors.”可知，法国人的晚餐非常令人轻松愉快。故选B。

7．What is the author's attitude to the French way of shopping?

A．Appreciative.  B．Disapproving.

C．Reserved.   D．Disappointed.

答案：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第三句“I was extremely surprised when I first experienced this but I'm already thinking I need to bring this back to America！”以及最后一句“Brilliant！”可推断出，作者很欣赏法国的购物方式。故选A。
