(2014·东北三省四市第一次联合考试) It's the beginning of 2014, but as USA Today says，“it's never too early to plan your 2014 travels”. With so many hot destinations around the globe, “where should I go？” can be difficult to answer. According to Lonely Planet, though, Brazil is a fine choice — on Oct 29th, the travel guide named that country the top one to visit in 2014.

“As if endless coast and mountains splashed (飞溅) with rainforest didn't already add up to an unfair share of heaven, Brazil will hold two of the greatest sporting events in the world, beginning with the 2014 FIFA World Cup and followed by the 2016 Summer Olympics，”explained Lonely Planet.

Brazil is the largest and most populous (人口稠密的) country in South America. It boasts (自豪拥有) the Amazon, the world's largest jungle, which is home to a variety of plants and animals. But the great scenery is not the only thing Brazilians take pride in.

The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil's soccer team even more than its national flag. Soccer is more than a sport in Brazil; it's a way of life. In fact, the World Cup brings Brazilians together. It is interesting to note that the general elections in Brazil are usually held during the same year as the World Cup. Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm(爱国热情) created by soccer to inspire political energy.

Alongside soccer, samba is another symbol of Brazil. The country's most traditional dance is highlighted every February at the Rio Carnival, which is one of the world's biggest.

“Brazil has left its second-class nation status，” said former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da

Silva in 2009 after Rio de Janeiro was awarded the 2016 Olympics.

Brazil's growing economy, fueled by oil and aircraft factories, has made it more than just a nation of samba, soccer and beaches. These days, it might just be the best tourist destination in the world. 1．Which is TRUE about Brazil?

A．Soccer and samba are two symbols of the country.

B．It will hold the FIFA World Cup and the Summer Olympics in 2016. C．It is the largest country with the longest history in South America. D．Its Amazon is the world's largest jungle, Brazilians take pride in only. 2. We can tell from the words of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva that________.

A．his country will be the first class nation status after the 2016 Olympics B．his country has been left behind by other second-class nations

C．he is confident that his country has developed very fast

D．the 2016 Olympics, not samba or soccer, has made his country the first class 3. Which of the following aspects are mentioned about Brazil in the article?

A．Military and economy. B．Geography and population. C．Language and culture. D．Politics and history. 4．The author's purpose in writing the article is to________.

A．give an introduction of Brazil as a tourist destination B．prove that Lonely Planet's recommendation is right C．give an objective review of Brazil as a nation

D．explain why Brazil will be holding the two sporting events
