Dancing in the Streets
If there is one thing certain to get Brazilians on their feet, it is the Rio Carnival(狂歡節). Held in Rio de Janeiro. the country's biggest city. the carnival began on February 20 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momo-the Lord of Misrule(無序之皇). On his orders, each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music. The following six days are so fun of parades, street dancing, fantastic clothes and partying(聚會)that many people forget about eating and sleeping.
"It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio. "said Bob Nadkarni. a British man who has lived in the city for several years For many Brazilians. the centrepiece of the carnival is samba(桑巴舞), a typical Brazilian dance. Every year, tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the streets following the beat(節拍)of the Latin music.
The climax to this street party is the float(彩車)parade, in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city. On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen, who is chosen at the end of the party, while most people are free to enjoy the celebrations.Rio's police officers have to keep a clear head. Following the murder of three offlcers in a gunfight early last week, the Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio. The street fighting, robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police.
Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves, in honour of the city's founder who was said to have been raised by a she-wolf. Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so. despite the troubles. the carnival will remain a symbol of the country's culture

答案： 36 C 該題問的是：根據短文，在狂歡節，里約熱內盧人下列的事中哪一種不做?第二段的最后提到"許多人都忘記了吃飯和睡覺".因此，里約熱內盧人在這個日子里，更不可能去大吃大喝。
37 B 該題問的是：狂歡節有多長?第一段說到狂歡節從2月20日開始。第二段說到此后6天有各種各樣的活動。可見，總共是7天，即整整一個星期。
38 A "centrepiece"是"核心部分"的意思。因此A是最合適的。
39 C 第三段的第一句提到了Bob Nadkami是英國人，這就排斥了A和D.該句還說到此人是因為喜歡狂歡節來到巴西并在里約熱內盧定居，并不是來玩一玩的，這就排斥了B.
40 B 該題問的是：下面的哪一種說法是錯誤的?B說的是：狂歡節本來是巴西人的傳統。最后一段說到"狂歡節"起源于古羅馬。因此B的說法是錯誤的。
