二、阅读理解
【2024 重庆中考 A 卷】Standing on the beach of Copacabana, I come to realize that any understanding of Brazil really begins on its beaches. Everyone here has his or her perfect beach and is ready to tell you where to find it. I'm happy to take people's advice, but my final goal is to find my own dream beach.
I head to Bahia, a place with Brazil's best coastline. Over the centuries, people of many races have arrived here, creating a wonderful cultural mix. This mix influences Bahia's language, food, music, and dance.
On arriving at one of Bahia's best beaches — Prainha, I discover its golden sand lined by a row of perfect trees, moving softly in the ocean wind. As I enter the water, I have the feeling of swimming through moonlight. Prainha's beauty is like something you might see in a postcard. But for me, it's a little too perfect. ▲
I continue my search, heading north to Maceió, a fisherman's beach. Boats lie on their sides while nets hang out to dry on lines between fishermen's houses. We eat on the beach and later rest near the table. It's a great day, but I have one final place to visit.
A few hundred kilometers out in the Atlantic, the islands of Fernando de Noronha are a national park, rich with birds and sea life. I visit a number of beaches on Fernando, but I leave the best one for last.
The beach at Praia do Leão has perfect sand, sea and sky. The water is pale blue and warm, alive with colourful fish and other sea life; the sand is the colour of honey. The rocks and strong winds have the touch of wildness I was looking for. I dig my toes in the sand deeply and imagine I can hold on to this place forever.
11. Which is the first beach the writer visits?
A. Maceió.
B. Praia do Leaã.
C. Prainha.
D. Copacabana.
12. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Prainha is a popular beach for fishermen.
B. Bahia is a place with a wonderful cultural mix.
C. The islands of Fernando are very rich in honey.
D. Maceió's beauty is like something in a postcard.
13. Which sentence can be put in the ____ ▲?
A. The beach I'm searching for needs to be a little wilder.
B. The beach I'm looking for is a place for fishermen to fish.
C. The beach I'm searching for needs to be famous to tourists.
D. The beach I'm looking for is popular with parents and children.

A. An Unknown Beach
B. Memories of Vacation
C. The Perfect Beach
D. A Tour of Education
