In Sichuan, you see art like bianlian, a kind of ancient opera (古典戏剧). Performers change their masks (面具) very fast --- so fast that it looks like magic (魔术).

There is great food in Sichuan, too. It is famous for the use of Sichuan peppers (花椒) and hot chilis. In fact, Chengdu, Sichuan’s capital city, has more restaurants than any other city in the world --- around 40,000!

Sichuan also has lots of beautiful natural scenery (自然风景). In Jiuzhaigou Valley National Park, you see colorful lakes, thick forests (稠密的森林) and spectacular waterfalls (壮观的瀑布).

Finally, Sichuan is home to one of the world’s cutest animals. More than 30 percent of the world’s giant pandas live there.

【解析】

《孤独的星球》是一个世界闻名的旅行指南，它给人们推荐值得旅行的地方。在2018年“亚洲最佳”的榜单上，它只推荐了中国四川这一个地方。为什么呢？这篇短文给我们介绍了四川吸引人的地方。

【1】根据短文开头 “Lonely Planet, the world-famous travel guide (旅游指南),”可知，《孤独的星球》是一本闻名于世的旅行指南。原文用定冠词表示特指，这里应用不定冠词，表示泛指“一个……”，故答案为a world-famous travel guide.

【2】根据短文第一段 “For its "2018 Best in Asia" list, they picked only one place in China Sichuan.”可知，中国的四川在2018“亚洲最佳”的榜单上，故答案为Sichuan。

【3】根据短文第四段中 “In fact, Chengdu, Sichuan’s capital city, has more restaurants than any other city in the world --- around 40,000!”可知，在成都有大约40,000个餐馆。故答案为40,000 restaurants。

【4】根据短文最后一段 “Finally, Sichuan is home to one of the world’s cutest animals. More than 30 percent of the world’s giant pandas live there.”可知，四川是大熊猫的故乡。故答案为giant pandas。

【5】根据文章结构可知，短文从第三段开始，分别介绍了四川吸引人们的地方，第三段 “In Sichuan, you see art”主要说的是它的艺术；第四段 “There is great food in Sichuan, too”是它的美食；第五段 “Sichuan also has lots of beautiful natural scenery”是自然风景；最后一段是动物。故答案为art, food, natural scenery。

这篇短文给我们介绍了在《孤独的星球》这本旅行指南上为人们推荐的值得去旅行的地方——中国的四川。短文主题明确，结构清晰，文章内容贴近学生们的日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是任务型阅读，要求根据文意完成下面的句子，考查学生们对文章细节的理解。做题时，应先通读短文，理解文意；然后根据题干中的句子在原文搜索相关信息，填写单词的适当形式。如第1小题，根据题意可以很快定位到短文开头第一句话，填写的时候需注意，原文用的是定冠词the，修饰名词，在句中作Lonely Planet的同位语，是特指的。而题目是“《孤独的星球》是……”，这里应表示泛指“一本世界闻名的旅行指南”，所以用不定冠词a。第5小题应根据文章的结构，从第三段、第四段以及第五段中找到关键词进行作答。
