Question

【题目】

France is famous for its fine art, tasty food and romantic scenery（风景）. About 75 million visitors come here every year.

France is the largest country in Western Europe. The country is home to many famous places of interest, like the River Seine and the Eiffel Tower.

Many visitors also come for the country’s art. Sculptor（雕刻家）Auguste Rodin and painter Claude Monet once created their great works here. If you visit France today, it is not a surprise to meet street artists in the city or come across a singer in the subway.

No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to Louvre( 卢浮宫 ), one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Inside, there are 35,000 works of art, such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da Vinci and the statue（雕塑）David by Michelangelo. It would take nine months to enjoy all the pieces.

Besides, French food is world famous. Bread is very important in France. The best known French bread is called a baguette（法棍面包）. They are long, delicious and taste salty. Snails （蜗牛）are also a must-have here. French people eat 40,000 tons of snails every year!

But France is not always good. Paris, the city of light, may also show its dark side to visitors. Chinese visitors feel sorry about the crowded subway in Paris.

【解析】本文主要介绍了法国的艺术，美丽的风景和美食。法国以其艺术、美味的食物和浪漫的风景而出名。每年大约有7500万游客来这里。法国是西欧最大的国家。这个国家有许多著名的名胜古迹，像塞纳河和埃菲尔铁塔。许多游客也为了法国的来这里。雕塑家奥古斯特·罗丹和画家克劳德·莫奈曾经在这里创造了他们的伟大的作品。如果你今天去法国，在城里遇到街头艺人或在地铁里遇到一个歌手并不奇怪。不去卢浮宫等于没有去巴黎。卢浮宫是世界上最大、最著名的博物馆。里面，有35000的艺术作品，如达芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》米切朗基罗的雕像《戴维》。要花九个月的时间才能欣赏所有的作品。此外，法国食物世界闻名的。面包在法国很重要。最有名的法国面包就是法棍面包。它们又长又好吃，尝起来有点咸。在这里蜗牛也是必需品。法国人每年吃掉40000吨蜗牛！但法国并不总是好的。巴黎，光之城，也可能向游客展示其阴暗面。中国游客对巴黎拥挤的地铁感到遗憾。

Paris, the city of light, may also show its dark side to visitors. （但法国并不总是好的。巴黎，光之城，也可能向游客展示其阴暗面。）Chinese visitors feel sorry about the crowded subway in Paris.（中国游客对巴黎拥挤的地铁感到遗憾。） 可知，中国人对于法国的地铁不满意，因为太拥挤了，故答案是No. Because of the crowded subway in Paris/Because.。
