适合退休生活的好地方
A new report says Uruguay is the best place for older people to live after they stop working. Last year, Portugal was number one, but now it is number five.
Uruguay is a country in South America. There, things are not expensive and the rules are simple.
Europe has six good places in the top ten, like Spain and Italy. These places are beautiful and safe, but things are expensive there. So older people can choose a place with good weather, low costs, or easy travel.
1.1. Which country was number one last year?
A Uruguay.
B Portugal.
C Spain.
D Italy.
解析：选B。B 细节理解题。原文第一段明确提到 “Last year, Portugal was number one, but now it is number five”，即去年排名第一的是葡萄牙，因此B项“Portugal”正确。A项乌拉圭是今年新报告中的第一名，不是去年第一；C项西班牙和D项意大利只是欧洲的好地方，文中没有说它们是去年第一。故选B。
2.2. What does Uruguay have?
A High costs.
B Bad weather.
C Simple rules.
D Expensive things.
解析：选C。C 细节理解题。原文第二段说乌拉圭在南美洲，并提到 “There, things are not expensive and the rules are simple”，即那里东西不贵、规则简单，因此C项“Simple rules”正确。A项“高成本”和D项“昂贵的东西”与原文“not expensive”相反；B项“恶劣天气”文中没有依据。故选C。
3.3. What are European places like?
A Beautiful and safe.
B Beautiful and cheap.
C Cheap and safe.
D Old and dirty.
解析：选A。A 细节理解题。原文第三段提到欧洲有六个好地方进入前十，如西班牙和意大利，并说 “These places are beautiful and safe, but things are expensive there”，即这些地方美丽且安全，但物价昂贵，因此A项“Beautiful and safe”正确。B项“美丽且便宜”与原文“昂贵”相反；C项“便宜且安全”中“便宜”错误；D项“老旧肮脏”文中没有依据。故选A。
4.4. What is the text mainly about?
A Best places to visit.
B Countries in South America.
C Cheap places in Europe.
D Good places for older people.
解析：选D。D 主旨大意题。全文围绕一份新报告展开，说明乌拉圭是老年人退休后居住的最佳地方，并比较欧洲一些地方的特点，因此D项“Good places for older people”最能概括文章主旨。A项“最佳游览地”偏离“老年人居住”这一核心；B项“南美洲国家”和C项“欧洲便宜地方”都只是文中局部信息，且C项中“便宜”与原文欧洲地方“expensive”不符。故选D。
