题目解答
答案
F. Our aim was to sce if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians. 解析：上文“My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.（我丈夫和我刚在巴黎待了一周）”说明了背景；下文“So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.（所以我们做的第一件事就是租了一个非常昂贵公寓，在第六层，只有一个橱柜那么大）”是空格处的结果，因此空格处需要填原因：根据F项“Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.（我们的目标是看看我们是否在某种程度上可以活的像巴黎人。）”可知，作者要在巴黎住下来，所以需要租房子，两句构成因果关系。故选F项。
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed. 解析：上文“The place wasn't entirely authentic, though.（不过，这个地方并不是地道的法国住房）”是段落的中心句，说明第二段主要内容是讲解公寓的情况。下文提到了楼宇和电梯的情况。C项“There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.（有一个漂亮的厨房和一张舒适的床）”提到了厨房和床，这些都属于公寓的配置。故选C项。
G. The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy. 解析：上文“…they eat great food and never gain weight.（他们吃得很好，而且从不发胖）”提及了食物。下文“French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.（法国草莓尝起来不像纸板。相反，它们会像小炸弹一样在你嘴里爆炸）”在说明法国的草莓很好吃。上下文结合可知，因为法国的食物质量很高，所以不用吃很多就能很满足，同时吃的少也就不会发胖了。G项“The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.（食物是如此美味，你不需要吃太多就能使你快乐）”符合语境要求。故选G项。
E. That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do. 解析：第三段主要描述了作者夫妻去了采购了食物，买了草莓。下文“My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!（我丈夫和我都认为这是我们吃过的最好的水果。但它们要18美元！）”说明法国的水果好吃但是也很贵。选项E“That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.（这并不是法国人吃得比我们少的唯一原因）”承接了上一段关于法国人吃的少但是不胖的话题，同时引起下文，给出了法国人吃的少的另一个原因‘物价贵’。故选E项。
A. Not all the customers are tourists. 解析：根据上文“In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by cafes life. French cafes are always crowded.（在法国生活质量比效率更重要。这一点你能从咖啡馆生活看出来。法国的咖啡厅总是很拥挤）”可知，上文说明了法国人对待工作不是很积极且咖啡厅里顾客很多。下文“When do these people work?（这些人什么时候工作？）”是一个问句，说明本句属于过渡句，承接上文说明咖啡厅里的造成拥挤的客人的情况，A选项中有“customer”符合咖啡馆的情境设定，同时讲述了不是所有的客人都是游客，那么意味着大部分人都是当地人，符合下文的提问。故选A项。
