Question

【题目】 Bath, 97 miles west of London, is the largest city in Somerset, England. It became a World Heritage Site in 1987.

The city got its name from the Roman Baths, which was a place for public bathing in Roman Britain. The water there is naturally heated under the ground. Today visitors are no longer allowed to enter the water. However, the exhibitions there will tell you the history of the Roman Baths. You can see many ancient Roman objects, including the coins that were thrown into the water to show respect to the goddess.

Looking over the city, you will see many old buildings in the color of honey. Among them, the Royal Crescent and the Circus are the most famous. The Royal Crescent is a row of 30 houses in the shape of crescent (新月). The Circus is about 200 meters to the east of the Royal Crescent. It is a huge circle formed with large townhouses. It is divided into three parts of the same length by three entrances with a lawn in the center. When visiting Bath, you can’t miss these two sites.

The museums in the city are also popular. You can go and appreciate western paintings. If you are interested in the English writer Jane Austen, you can go to Jane Austen Center to know more about her life with her father in Bath. If you come in October, you can even take part in the bath film Festival.

【解析】

本文介绍了列入世界文化遗产地的城市——巴斯的城市建筑风格。

【1】细节理解题。A. writers作者；B. paintings画；C. festivals节日； D. buildings建筑。本文的第二段是关于巴斯的古老的建筑的介绍。在倒数第二段提到了painting，writer和festival，但不是文章的主要内容。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段Today visitors are no longer allowed to enter the water.可知，现在不允许游客再进入水里，所以A项“洗澡”和B项“在水中玩耍”错误。根据第二段You can see many ancient Roman objects可知，只能看，不能买，所以D项“买古代的罗马物件”是错误的。根据You can see many ancient Roman objects, including the coins that were thrown into the water to show respect to the goddess.可知，可以看很多古老的罗马物件，包括钱币。C意为“欣赏古代的钱币”。故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据The Circus is about 200 meters to the east of the Royal Crescent. It is a huge circle formed with large townhouses. It is divided into three parts of the same length by three entrances with a lawn in the center.可知，the Circus是圆形的，在the Royal Crescent的东边，另外，the Circus有三个入口。图片B符合。故选B。
