Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time. I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. There are a lot of things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics（遗迹）from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures（雕塑）. The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t very good quality. I made an effort to find authentic restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also loved eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques（精品店）but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.
1.The underlined word “gladiators” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “_____”.
A. athletes B. butchers
C. invaders D. fighters
2.The author found the ruins of buildings and temples fascinating because _____.
A. they represent Rome's religion
B. they are relics from Rome's distant past
C. you can't help wondering how old they are
D. they include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum
3.What is mainly discussed in the 3rd paragraph?
A. The great museums of Italy.
B. The sculptures in Rome.
C. Art-related activities during the visit.
D. The achievements of the Renaissance period in Italy.
4.When visiting Rome, you should be careful in choosing ______.
A. the attractions B. the food
C. the hotels D. the luxury boutiques
