分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了英国是一个有着多样性的口音的国家.有些被人热爱的口音而别人则认为是让他们的人感到耻辱的口音.这篇文章介绍了一些不同的英国口音和与之相关的模式.
解答 30.A 细节理解题.对于Scotland,文中句子They are also regularly described as unhealthy 他们也经常被描述为不健康的.对于Liverpool中的句子They are sometimes characterized as lazy and hard-drinking.他们有时表现为懒惰和酗酒.可以看出来自Scotland和Liverpoor的人都被认为是缺乏才智的符合.B、C、D选项不符合两地的人,只符合一个地方的人.所以答案选A.
31.B 细节理解题.根据句子people with a Cockney ( 伦敦腔 ) accent are usually regarded as being cheerful but mostly interested in money.They are seen as city people with no interest in life outside London.带有伦敦口音的人(伦敦腔)通常被视为是活跃的但对钱大多感兴趣.被看作是对伦敦以外的生活毫无兴趣的城市人. uncaring不予关注的;energetic充满活力的;generous with their money 对于钱很大方的;uninterested in life beyond London 对于伦敦远处的生活不感兴趣的.所以B选项符合描述.
32.C细节理解题.根据句子 Birmingham people are viewed as unintelligent and lacking in creativity 伯明翰人被视为是无知和缺乏创新的人.所以答案选C.
