(1)Nothing attracts me to a city as much as an exaggerated but pervasive generalization that discourages timid travelers, keeps prices down and lines short, and makes people like me very happy.
(2)But I’m an Italy novice, and this was my first time in Naples. So while I love wandering and discovering rather than touring established sights, I wondered if I could skip the most famous pizzerias and churches in the world? Dispense with Pompeii?
(3)My solution is to do some must-sees, and some see-what-happens.
(4)When I stepped out of the subway near Naples’s historic center it took about 10 seconds for me to fall in love. A soccer ball rolled past me with kids chasing after it; pedestrians gestured on street corners like overacting extras on a movie set; motorbikes zoomed by haphazardly; and drying laundry fluttered in the breeze from just about every ancient balcony. I love cities with no clothes dryers.
(5)Things got even better when I found I Fiori di Napoli, my 35 euro a night bed-and-breakfast, hidden away in a building without a street number, let alone a sign. Walking up marble steps to the third floor of this 18th-century building just off the narrow streets of the Spanish Quarter, I was greeted by Manuela Colosimo, one of the owners. Manuela, who spoke in Naples-seasoned but fluent English, would provide me with endless suggestions(and maps, and guidebooks, and strong coffee)over the week. Her first suggestion: Trattoria Nennella, just two blocks away, where a two-course dinner with a bottle of wine, a bottle of water, a cup of cherries and shouting, dancing waiters cost me 12 euros. Manuela snatched my dirty clothes too, but rain would delay their return for several days.
(6)I decided to spend my first full day wandering the historic center, shelling out 7 euros to see Giuseppe Sanmartino’s "Veiled Christ" in the Cappella Sansevero Museum, an astonishing sculpture mat even atheists(无神论者)might find divine. I tried me pizza at the famed Di Matteo and the Pizzaiolo del Presidente(named after Bill Clinton’s visit mere). Both were finely executed in the best Neapolitan style, though crusts tended to be a bit soggy in the center if you ask me, and Di Matteo tried to tack an extra euro onto the bill, an annoying though possibly honest error. I also wandered into a barber shop in me Spanish Quarter to have my hair cut by a 73-year-old barber named Ciro, who had been working on his trade on the same corner for 50 years. That ran me 8 euros, and we chatted the whole time, which is impressive since he doesn’t know even me word "haircut" in English.
(7)But Italians have ways of making themselves understood. There was me old lady who I sat next to after taking one of the popular tours of the Greek and Roman. She told me stories of when her family sought refuge mere during the war when she was 8. And the man who chatted me up as I wandered the narrow alleys of another residential neighborhood; he directed me to a tiny, rustic-seeming restaurant named ’A Cucina ’e Mamma, with a 7 euro lunch special. All conversation stopped when I walked in, a sure sign mat this was not a tourist joint.
(8)Mixing me well trodden and the less explored was a good strategy on my first venture outside Naples: I went to Pompeii, which lived up to its reputation as a tourist-thronged nightmare and where they had inexplicably run out of maps to accompany me audio tour I shelled out 6.50 euros for. But I also went to me much more manageable-sized, less-thronged and better-preserved Mount Vesuvius victim: Herculaneum.
Which of the following words in Paragraph Four implies "move at a high speed"?
选项
A、rolled.
B、gestured.
C、zoomed.
D、fluttered.
答案
C
解析
本题要求找出表“高速运动”之意的单词,motorbikes zoomed by haphazardly的意思是“随意地从身边呼啸而过”,由haphazardly(随意地)可以看出,这里是强调摩托车驾驶者不顾路人,急速行驶,因此本题选C。A表示“滚动”;B意思是“作动作,打手势”;D意思是“飘动”。
