名师点评
这是一篇描述巴黎景观的短文，文章抓住了该城的一个特色灯城来展开描述，虽只有两段文字，却包含了丰富的内涵 。
1. C。看文章的首句和尾句之后，此空便可迎刃而解。
2. A。what...mean这是习惯性搭配。
3. B。灯要在夜里开，evening虽为晚上之意，但不可与at搭配。
4. D。顺承上文华灯竞开，自然亮如白昼。
5. C。不看下一句，似乎4个选项均成立，但下文提到车灯，自然应
选驾车。
6. D。由于街上十分明亮， 即使天黑了也不必开车灯。
7. A。文章最后又提出一个原因， 说明不是唯一的原因才对。
8. C。 从上文可知用many。
9. A。由于巴黎乃世界科学和艺术中心， 因此吸引了许多科学家和艺术家来此学习和研究。
10. B。习惯用法。注意最后的lights显然不是指具体的灯，而是指显赫人物;名家;名流。
