问题     The town itself, let us admit, is ugly. It has a smug, placid air and you need time to discover what it is that makes it different from so many business centers in other parts of the world. How to conjure up a picture, for instance, of a town without pigeons, without any trees or gardens, where you never hear the beat of wings or the rustle of leaves—a thoroughly negative place, in short? The seasons are discriminated only in the sky. All that tells you of spring’s coming is the feel of the air, or the baskets of flowers brought in from the suburbs by peddlers; it’s a spring cried in the market-places. During the summer the sun bakes the houses bone-dry, sprinkles our walls with grayish dust, and you have no option but to survive those days of fire indoors, behind closed shutters. In autumn, on the other hand, we have deluges of mud. Only winter brings really pleasant weather.
选项
答案     让我们承认吧，这个小镇是丑陋的。它的气氛自得而平静，而且，你需要花时间来搞清楚它与世界上其他地方的许多商业中心有何不同。如何才能想象这样一幅图景呢：比如，一个没有鸽子，没有任何树木或花园的小镇，在那里听不到鸟儿振翅，也听不到树叶的沙沙声一一简而言之，一个完全相反的地方?在这里，季节的差别只表现在不同的天空。要得知春天的来临只能通过空气的感觉，或是由小贩从郊区带来的一篮篮的鲜花；这里的春天是在市场上叫卖着的。在夏天，太阳把房子烤得干透，灰色的尘埃布满了墙壁，你别无选择，只有躲在屋里，在拉上的百叶窗后躲避那流火般的日子。而在秋天，这里则处处是泥沙。只有冬季才带来真正令人愉悦的气候。
