3.For thousands of years,the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub.In fact,until a place has a church and a pub,it isn't really considered a community worthy of a name.Traditionally,the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town,since it is where people gather to give and receive news.In fact,the word‘pub'is short for public house.That's how it used to be,but things are beginning to change.It is said that the credit decline is causing 39British pubs a week to go out of business.People don't have lots of spare money to spend on beer.Recently,the UK government banned smoking in all pubs,and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
This decline is happening despite the fact that in recent years the UK government has started to allow pubs to stay open after 11p.m.Previously,with 11p.m.as closing time,customers would have to drink quite quickly,meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly.The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as"binge drinking",and it causes some long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking,and regularly spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.
In order to save their businesses,pubs are trying to change with the market.Now,there are a number of different types of pubs.
As you can see,British pubs now offer something for everyone.A lot of pubs used to be
working men's clubs,meaning that women could not usually enter.Today,however,women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems.Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.

分析 文章大意:文章主要讲述的是关于现在英国酒吧的一些相关信息.
解答 71.Decline/Fall 总结归纳题.文章讲述的是酒吧行业的衰落.
72.important 考查句意理解根据文章第一段内容可知讲述的是酒吧在英国人生活的重要作用.
73.unless/until 考查句意理解.根据文章第一段的第二句话"In fact,until a place has a church and a pub,it isn't really considered a community worthy of a name."可知,一个地区如果没有教堂和酒吧,它就不能被称之为社区. 所以用unless/until.
74.causes 总结归纳题.本行主要是归纳酒吧行业衰落的原因.和of搭配使用的是cause.
75.close/shut 同义词转换.根据第二段第2行go out of business的说明指酒吧关闭.
76.allowed/permitted 词义转换.根据第二段第三行the UK government banned smoking in all pubs说明在酒吧里禁止抽烟,禁止forbid就相当于not allow/permit.
77.discourage/prevent/stop 同义词转化倒数第三行discourage binge drinking中的discourage的同义词prevent,stop.
78.Measures/Ways 总结归纳题.主要是讲述采取的方法措施.
79.meet/satisfy 考查固定短语. meet/satisfy one's needs 意思是满足某人的需求. 根据文章到数第二段内容"In order to save their businesses,pubs are trying to change with the market.Now,there are a number of different types of pubs"可知,做出改变是为了满足市场的需求.
80.Conclusion 总结归纳题.这是文章最后作者下的结论.所以用conclusion.
