【答案解析】[解析] 11-14 Announcer: And now we have our 'Know your town' section where we look at what's on offer in our area. Today John Munroe is going to tell us about local food and eating out. John. John: Well, most of us buy our food in supermarkets these days but we're very lucky having a wonderful market here. It was originally on the piece of land in front of the cathedral but at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river. (11) {{U}}When the new shopping centre was built in the 1960s, it found a home beneath the multi-storey car park where it still is,{{/U}} but there are plans to move it back to its previous home by the river. The market is now open six days a week. On Tuesday to Saturday you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area, as well as a whole range of imported produce. (12) {{U}}But if you come on a Sunday, you'll find a different market where craftspeople sell what they have made - things like bags, cards, clothes.{{/U}} During the week there are a few stalls selling more everyday utensils like saucepans and cleaning products alongside the fruit and vegetables - as well as one new stall selling antique furniture which is proving to be very popular. People often ask what our local dish is. As we're by the sea, they expect it to be some kind of fish recipe. Our fish is good of course but there isn't one particular dish that stands out. (13) {{U}}What we do have is an apple cake that isn't really made anywhere else.{{/U}} There's a new café in the High Street: Barton's, which bakes them fresh every morning and serves them with delicious home-made ice cream in a choice of flavours. Now, the harbour is obviously the place to buy fresh fish. Every morning there's a stall where local fishermen sell a selection of the day's catch before the rest goes to London or abroad. They've been doing that for as long as anyone can remember of course, but the harbour itself looks very different from a few years ago. (14) {{U}}Most of the restaurants used to be at the far end, but that part was redeveloped and the restaurants had to relocate to the other end.{{/U}} Many of them are simply the old ones in new premises but a couple of new ones have opened recently so there's a good range now both in the harbour and the town itself. I'm now going to give you my 'Top Six Places to Eat' in different parts of the town. [Distraction] B: 'It was originally … in front of the cathedral' but later 'it was moved'. It was never 'beside' the cathedral; C: 'at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river' but John goes on to say it found another 'home' 'in the 1960s'. Although 'there are plans to move [the market] back …' these are for some time in the future, not now.
