W: This week’s program Up Your Street takes you to Harrogate, a small town in Yorkshire. Harrogate became a fashionable resort during Victorian times, when people came to take a bath in the mineral waters. Today, few people come to visit the town for its mineral waters. Instead, Harrogate has become a popular town for people to retire to. Its clean air, attractive parks, and the absence of any industry, make this an ideal spot for people looking for a quiet life. Now, to tell us more about Harrogate, I have with me Tom Percival, President of the Chamber of Commerce. Tom, one of the things visitor notices about Harrogate is the large area of open parkland right down into the middle of the town. Can you tell us more about it?
M: Yes, certainly. The area is called the Stray.
W: Why the Stray?
M: It’s called that because in the old days, people let their cattle stray on the area, which was common land.
W: Oh, I see.
M: Then, we’ve changes in farming and in land ownership. The Stray became part of the land owned by Harrogate.
W: And is it protected?
M: Oh, yes, indeed. There’s a special law. No one can build anything on the Stray. It’s protected forever.
W: So it will always be parkland?
M: That’s right. As you can see, some of the Stray is used for sports fields.
W: I believe it looks lovely in the spring.
M: Yes, it does. There’re spring flowers on the old trees, and people visit the town just to see the flowers.
5. Where does this conversation most probably take place?
6. What do we learn about modern Harrogate?
7. What does the man say about the area called the Stray?
8. What attracts people most in the Stray during the spring time?
选项

B、The refreshing air.
C、The mineral waters.
D、The vast grassland.
答案
A
解析
男士在结尾处说春天这些古老的树木会开花,人们来就是为了看花,所以答案选A。therefreshing air是现代Harrogate适合退休生活的原因之一,the mineral waters是维多利亚时代Harrogate吸引人之处。B、C与spring time无关。D对话没有提及。
