单选题

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 71-73
Coming into view is one of the most prominent buildings in the old town, the House of the Seven Doors. Built in the early 1800s, the house earns its name from seven magnificently carved wooden doors. Doors were often the first part of the house to be constructed because the door stood as a symbol of the prosperity and status of the household. The elaborate carvings on each of the seven doors represent trade products, such as sugar, spices, coffee and tea.

说话人在一个古城(old town)介绍了一座著名建筑(prominent building),因此这段独白最有可能在城市旅游中听到(C)。从“Coming into view is..”可以判断,这段独白发生在户外,因此不可能是在仓库里(B)或在商店里(D)。尽管说话者介绍的是一座建筑(building),但从“Built in the early 1800s”可以判断,这座建筑早已建成,这段独白不可能发生在建筑工地(A)。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】Early 1800s指19世纪前几年或前十几年,这段时间属于1800~1850年(D),所以选项(A)1900年以后、选项(B)1850~1900年和选项(C)1800年以前均不正确。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】从“the house earns its name from seven magnificently carved wooden doors(这栋房子因其七个有着宏伟雕刻的木门而得名)”,所以这座建筑的特点在于其门上的木工手艺(B)。独白中在不同的地方出现了magnificently(宏伟地,壮丽地)和view(视野)这两个干扰词,但它们并不是指壮丽的风景(A)。独白中未提到outdoor pool(室外游泳池)(C)。该建筑有七扇门,而不是七层楼(D)。
