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
A、It was named after a land owner in the old days.
B、It will be used as a centre for athletic training.
C、It is located in the eastern part of Harrogate.
D、It is protected as parkland by a special law.
答案
D
解析
男士说the Stray受到特别法律的保护,禁止在此修建任何建筑,所以答案选D。男士说,以前人们在这个地方放牧,the Stray的名字由此而来,A排除;the Stray位于城镇的中心,C也可排除;theStray的有些地方用作sports fields.并没有说它会被用作运动培训中心,B属于过度推断。
