26 February，Rio Carnival，BrazilThe summer heat hit me as soon as I got off the flight. No wonder people from Rio take a week off for this happy occasion. I could feel it already—the Carnival was in the air!To experience the spirit of the Carnival for myselfI went to a street party. LuckilyI arrived just in time—the show was about to begin as I took my place in the merry①crowd. I could see a group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band in fancy costumes standing in the street. Some of them carried flags，which blew in the wind. The crowd waited with excitement.Then there was an explosion②of bright colours and lively music，and the group jumped into action. The band started playing an energetic samba beat，the dancers twisted③ and turned，and the crowd began to cheer，clap and sing.The whole group started marching down the street. The Carnival current carried us through the ever －growing sea of people，dancing all the way. Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets，and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed waveafter wave of street stands. I was so caught up in④ the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by!Even as I lay in bed that evening，the bright colours and lively music were still swimming all around me. What an amazing first day in Rio!(选自译林版新教材必修第二册Unit 3)①merry /'meri/ adj.欢乐的，愉快的②explosion /ɪk'spləʊʒn/n.爆炸；爆炸声③twist /twɪst/ vt. &vi.缠绕；扭动(身体部位)④be caught up in 被卷入，陷入I was so caught up in the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by!我沉浸在派对狂热中，几乎没有注意到五个小时过去了！[句式分析] 此句含有so...that...“如此……以至于……”的句型。
