On the map there’s just one island, but when you get there you’ll find two distinct Sar-dinias. If you’re wondering which is the right destination for you, take the ice-cream test and try two gelati in Sardinia. On the wealthy Costa Smeralda I was served an ice-cream with enormous speed and efficiency by a Tom Cruise look-alike—all teeth, tan and ambition. But on Sardinia’s quieter western coast—the Riviera de Corallo—it was served, quite slowly and with elegance, by a girl with the face of an angel.
My vote goes—narrowly—to this less-visited shore. There I found a seat in Alghero’s Piazza Civica, where the late afternoon sun was warming the old stones and the fishing boats were back at anchor just through the archway of the Porta al Mare.
I reflected, as I ate my ice-cream and watched the locals make their evening passeggia-ta through the ancient square and the Door to the Sea, that the world is not such a bad place after all. By contrast, at a little cafe near the marina at Porto Cervo on the Costa Smeralda, watching beautiful young things leaping on and off their yachts, I reflected mainly that most people seemed to have a lot more money than I.
It’s all very idyllic, the sea is always blue and the weather from May to October is invariably perfect. But is this plutocrats’ playground Sardinia? No—not if you mean the rugged Sardinia with its roots in prehistory and its future in a possible split with mother Italy.
To see the real Sardinia you could take the overnight ferry from Livorno on the Italian mainland to Olbia just below the Costa Smeralda. Perhaps hire a little Fiat—although Ferraris are available—and take the road that skirts the millionaire belt, heading north and then west. Head inland now, towards Sassari and Alghero. The hills crowd the shoreline, the villages are few and the roads are empty. Dotted around the fields, sticking up through olive groves like huge rock cones, are the remains of forts built by the mysterious Nuragic people, who came here long before the Romans and Phoenicians.
A little way down the coast along a precipitous new highway is the ancient town of Bosa, where lace making and timber working keep many of the locals occupied. There is, of course, a great deal more to Sardinia than the Costa Smeralda and the Riviera del Corallo— there’s a whole islandful of things to see and do. South-central is where the main chain of mountains runs; snow-capped for four months of the year and a popular climbing and walking venue in gentler seasons.
The coastline is longer than mainland Italy’s entire western side, with resorts dotted around natural harbours and scenic inlets. You could take in most of them in a two-day tour by car. But nothing compares with the Costa Smeralda or the Riviera del Corallo. It just depends on how you like your gelati.
Which of the following is INCORRECT according to the passage?
选项
A、There is a road that skirts the millionaire belt.
B、Nuragic people came here long before the Romans and Phoenicians.
C、The coastline is dotted with resorts.
D、The author doesn’t like gelati.
答案
D
解析
推理题。从文章开头和结尾处作者对gelati这种意大利冰糕的描写来看,他很喜欢这种食品以及出售这种食品的当地人([C]),[A]和[B]也都可在第五段中找到,所以[D]与原文不符,故为答案。
