Year after year, Italy tops tourist destination lists. Year after year, people keep having the time of their lives in spite of the crowds. More and more Americans are visiting Italy not to see the sites of ancient Rome but to taste the delights of the rest of the country, according to a new survey. Not only are long waits under the hot summer sun to get into sites such as the Coliseum turning visitors away, but the attractions of good wine, pasta and cheese are drawing people to other less-known destinations. A little over a quarter of those surveyed said they were choosing alternative locations because they wanted to get to know Italian cooking better. Another 21 percent said it was much more relaxing to be in the countryside eating wholesome Italian food after leaving stressful jobs and unhealthy diets in the United States. And 17 percent said they were following in the footsteps of their Hollywood heroes. For years, Hollywood stars have enjoyed low-key vacations at quiet but luxurious villas in rural Italy, and it appears the trend is rubbing off on Americans. “Americans are realizing that the Mediterranean diet is the best way to stay in shape and courses in Italian cooking are better for handling stress than visiting a psychologist”, a statement accompanying the survey said.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. Why do more and more Americans go to Italy?
34. What’s the advantage of a Mediterranean diet as mentioned in the passage?
35. What is the passage mainly about?

选项 A、To see the sites of ancient Rome.
B、To experience the delights of the life in Italy.
C、To do some new surveys.
D、To learn Italian cooking.

答案 B

解析 因果关系题。浏览选项可知,选项皆以to开头,可能考查目的。文中提到,越来越多的美国人去意大利旅游不是为了参观古罗马遗址,而是去taste the delights of the rest of the country(体验这个国家的其他乐趣),而由后文可知,吃、住这些乐趣都与意大利的生活有关,故B正确。
