Modern Sun Worshippers People travel for a lot of reasons.Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines.Others are looking for culture,or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it.Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them.Every summer,more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation.They all come for the same reason:sun! The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.Italy's30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer.And 13 million people camp out on French beaches,parks,and roadsides.Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly,or one tourist for every person living in Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle.The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism,it's getting worse.The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St.Tropez.And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None of this,however,is-spoiling anyone's fun.The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists.Obviously,they don't go there for clean water and solitude.They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches.They don't even mind the pollution.No matter how dirty the water is,the coastline still looks beautiful.And as long as the sun shines,it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin,Iondon,or Oslo. Cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam are not good cities because they lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty.
参考答案: C
参考解析: 由文章第一段第三句话“Others are looking for culture , or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.”可知，一些旅游者是为了追寻文化之源，或仅仅是想在名胜之地请人给他们拍几张照。而该题句意是，人们旅行时，喜欢在名胜之地自己给自己拍照。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
由文章第一段最后一句话“But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on."可知，大多数欧洲游客是为了寻找阳光充足的海滩晒日光浴。而该题句意是，作者似乎暗示欧洲人去旅游是因为他们想参观一些历史遗迹或宗教景区。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
由文章第二段第二句话“Residents of cities like London , Copenhagen , and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.”可知，由于冬季白天很短，伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的居民在冬季的大部分时间里都是在昏暗中度过的，而其余的季节又都是阴雨连绵的。文中并没有提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹因为没有好的名胜古迹和风景区而不适合人们居住。故选C。
由文章第三段第四句话“Spain 's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhereelse.”可知，西班牙那漫长的海岸线更成了众多游客慕名前往的地方。因此西班牙比其他国家更加吸引游客，而不是法国。故选B。
由文章第三段第二句话“Italy 's 30 , 000 hotels are booked solid every summer.”可知，每年夏季，意大利的3万家旅馆全部客满。故选A。
由文章第三段最后一句话“37 million tourists visit yearly , or one tourist for every personliving in Spain.”可知，每年有3700万游客去西班牙旅游，换句话说，旅游者与西班牙居民的人数相当。故选A。
由文章最后一段最后三句话可知，被污染的水并不能影响游客们的兴致，只要阳光普照，地中海地区就比阴冷多雨的北欧好得多。故选B。
