答案与解析:
1.B 作者认为这本陈旧的乡下导游手册有意思是因为他发现……考察学生对上下文的理解能力。
作者认为这本陈旧的乡下导游手册有意思是因为他发现:
这本书出现的那个时期,有许多商人向当地村民卖东西,给村里人做工及向来访者兜售古玩。
因此,B)正确回答了本题要回答的问题。
此答案可在短文的第二段中找到:
NowadaysasuperficialtravelerinruralEnglandmightconcludethattheonlyvillagetradesmenstillflourishingwereeithersellingfrozenfoodtotheinhabitantsorsellingantiquestovisitors.(当今,在英格兰乡下即使一个肤浅的旅游者也会得出结论:
如今生意仍很兴隆的乡村商人们要么向村民们兜售冷冻食品,要么向来访者兜售古玩。
作者进一步得出结论:
Nevertheless,thiswouldreallybeafalseimpression.Admittedlytherehasbeenacontractionofvillagecommerce,butitsvigourisstillremarkable.(然而,这只是一种假象,有一种普遍看法,虽然这种乡村商业已收减,但其活力仍然显而易见。
从文中可以看出,如今的乡村贸易,虽然规模减小了,但仍很兴旺。
可想而知,在这本导游手册出现的那个时期,商业该是多么兴旺!
A)村子周围许多商店的名字。
文章中并没提到许多商店的名字,而且作者对此也不感兴趣。
C)在英国维多利亚时期的各种商店和服务。
作者所感兴趣的是现在的当地商店的各种服务,而不是维多利亚时期的。
D)这本书出现时期,有关他本村和周围村子里劳务信息。
以上三项选择都不能正确回答本题主旨,故均不能入选。
2.B 当地的杂货店尽管有……,但实际上在扩大。
考学生的对关键词语的理解能力,只要有一定的词汇量,就不难从字行里找到答案。
B)项选择可在文章的第三段开头找到:
