2014届高考英语二轮九十天强化训练：阅读理解24 阅读理解 （共两节，满分34分） 第一节（共12小题；每小题2分，满分24分） 阅读下列短文，从文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。 A People travel for a lot of reasons. Some travelers go to see places of a long history. Others are looking for cultures, or just want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European travelers are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. Northern Europeans like to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the sea attracts them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts(度假胜地) and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: the sun. The large crowds mean lots of money for the countries along the sea. Italy’s hotels are all booked without a break every summer, and also French beaches, Spain’s coastline. The Mediterranean is becoming one of the most polluted seas on earth. But people do not mind much. They don’t go there for clean water and they allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. If the sun shines, it is much better than sitting in the cold rain in those big cities. The writer suggests Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _____. A they take interest in different cultural and social customs B they prefer to take pictures before famous places C they wish to be away from cold, dark and rainy days D they want to see places of interest 62. In the second paragraph, the underlined word “attract” most probably means _____. A. upset B. concern C. trouble D. interest 63. The country to which lots of foreigners travel can _____ .
