Question

    Zurich Region is top for leisure and pleasure. Gentle hills, peaceful woods, the unpolluted lakes and rivers, picturesque villages—and all just a stone's throw from the Alps. Zurich Region is the ideal starting point for all kinds of short trips.

Zurich

With opera, ballet, shows, musicals, art exhibitions in over 50 museums and 100 galleries, time never drags in Zurich. The famous Bahnhofstrasse and the Limmatquai are always a shopper's paradise. Over 1,700 restaurants and bars serve both traditional Zurich and Swiss dishes as well as foreign specialties. The evenings will leave you spoilt for choice: indoors or outdoors, anything is possible as far as the nightlife in Zurich goes.

Winterthur

Winterthur has blossomed from a former industrial town to a lively place for all racial groups and types of culture. Winterthur is an important museum town — it has 17 in all—and also offers a wide range of culture, sports and entertainment. Among the numerous night clubs and bars you will also find the only bar in Switzerland that opens 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The Rhine Falls, the biggest waterfall in Europe, is just a 20 minute drive from Winterthur.

Rapperswil & Lake Zurich

Rapperswil, a town at the upper end of Lake Zurich, will charm you with its many attractions: the castle, the medieval(中世纪的) old town, the historical wooden bridge and Knies Children’s Zoo. Equally, however, the Alpamare water park and Atzmännig slide & trampoline paradise are just as much part of this family-friendly destination. Summer or winter, the Lake Zurich region offers many opportunities for sport.

Zug

Even the residents of Zug never get tired of the sunsets: when the sun goes down over the lake, the horizon goes blood-red, and all eyes turn to the romantic show of colour on the water. Equally charming is the historic centre of the town, best experienced by leisurely walking its narrow and winding alleys(小巷), wandering on the pretty lakeside and sitting at one of the many street cafés to watch the world go by.

【解析】

本文是一篇应用文，介绍了休闲和娱乐的首选之地——苏黎世地区的几个旅游景点。

1.词句猜测题。根据画线句前的“With opera, ballet, shows, musicals, art exhibitions in over 50 museums and 100 galleries,”可知，苏黎世有50多家博物馆和100多家美术馆举办艺术展览、歌剧、芭蕾舞、表演和音乐剧等活动，因此在这里你不会感到无聊，由此可知画线句的意思是“在苏黎世你不会感到无聊”，故B项正确。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Among the numerous night clubs and bars you will also find the only bar in Switzerland that opens 24 hours a day, every day of the year.”可知，在众多的夜总会和酒吧中，你还会发现瑞士唯一一家全年每天都24小时营业的酒吧，这是温特图尔的特别之处，故C项正确。

3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Rapperswil, a town at the upper end of Lake Zurich, will charm you with its many attractions: the castle, the medieval(中世纪的) old town, the historical wooden bridge and Knies Children’s Zoo. Equally, however, the Alpamare water park and Atzmännig slide & trampoline paradise are just as much part of this family-friendly destination.”可知，位于苏黎世湖上游的拉佩斯威尔小镇将有很多吸引人的景点：城堡、中世纪的古城、历史悠久的木桥和克尼斯儿童动物园，同样，阿尔帕玛水上公园和阿特兹姆尼滑梯蹦床乐园也是这个家庭友好型目的地的一部分，由此可知，Rapperswil & Lake Zurich适合有孩子的家庭，故C项正确。

4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Equally charming is the historic centre of the town, best experienced by leisurely walking its narrow and winding alleys(小巷), wandering on the pretty lakeside and sitting at one of the many street cafés to watch the world go by.”可知，小镇的历史中心也同样魅力非凡，在狭窄蜿蜒的小巷悠闲漫步、在美丽的湖边徜徉、在街边的咖啡馆里小坐都是体验小镇魅力的最好方法，故B项正确。

5.推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“Zurich Region is top for leisure and pleasure.”可知，本文主要介绍的是休闲和娱乐的首选之地——苏黎世地区的几个旅游景点，属于旅游话题，因此文章最有可能出自于一本旅游手册，故A项正确。
