6.Brighton:It is a seaside resort on the English Channel.Only 50miles from London,it offers a good variety of lively entertainment.It is a cheerful place,busy and crowded in the summer,but alive in every season of the year.Its royal pavilion(布萊頓皇宮)is a masterpiece of English architecture.
Durham:Whatever travelers see or don't see in England,they must see this city,in the northeast,just south of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.No one will forget the sight of its cathedral(教堂)and castle rising together on a steep hill overlooking a loop in the River Wear,which almost surrounds them.The cathedral itself is one of the great medieval(中世紀(jì)的,公元476-1500)buildings in Europe.
Liverpool:A port in the northwest of England which possesses a quality that is not found in quite the same way anywhere else in England:the quality of grandeur (壯觀).Liverpool has this grandeur in its site on the broad River Mersey (more than half a mile wide) with the houses rising near it; in its great dock buildings,its broad streets,and its two enormous cathedrals.
Edinburgh:It has long been the capital of Scotland.Edinburgh Castle is Edinburgh's important building,controlling the city from its perch on a rock over a hundred meters above sea level.Another important building is the Palace of Holyrood House,begun by JamesⅢaround 1500.Between the castle and the palace is the Royal Mile,which was the center of Edinburgh life before the 17th century and is fascinating to visit now.

解答 BBCA
64:B 細節(jié)題.由第一段第三句"but alive in every season of the year"可知,布賴頓在一年四季都充滿活力,因此B項"全年"符合文意.故正確答案為B.
65:B 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)原文定位,"castle"在 Durham、Edinburgh 兩個地方有,"cathedral"在 Durham、Liverpool 兩個地方有,故正確選項為B.
66:C 細節(jié)題.由第二段最后一句可知,"the cathedral in Durham"是在中世紀(jì)(476-1500年)之間建成;而根據(jù)最后一段可知"the Palace of Holyrood House"是在大約1500年建成,因此C項表述錯誤,故正確答案為C.
67:A 推斷題.A項,旅游雜志,本文主要介紹了四個旅游勝地,因此最有可能出自一本旅游雜志(a travel magazine),故此項正確;B項,"daily newspaper"意為日報;C項,"a chapter of science fiction"意為科幻小說的一章,此為說明文;D項,"a column in the financial press"意為財經(jīng)讀物的一節(jié).故正確答案為A.
點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.
