1.?解析:从第一段可知,她出生在1775年,第二段说“She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century”,据此推算,可知答案为A。?
答案:A
2. 解析:第二段有这样一句“The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it,keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels”,意思是“这个城市依然很像Jane Austen所熟知的那样”,言外之意没有发生很大的变化。其他三项都不符合事实。所以C 为正确答案。?
答案:C
3. 解析:从整篇文章来看,作者是说Jane Austen和The city of Bath 的联系;文章最后的很多字眼如“You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath” “The tour...” “The experienced guides will take you...”都暗示读者要去这个城市旅游观光。?
答案:A
4.解析:从最后一段这句“You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath,...the tour lasts about one and a half hours”可知步行参观Jane Austen's Bath大约需一个半小时。故答案为D。?
