Text 3 West London,Friday night,9 pm.In the Redemption bar,music hums and candles flicker.A barman shakes cocktails under a neon sign.But the noisy drinking often associated with British pubs at the weekend is absent.Although the cocorita is served,it contains no alcohol.Redemption is one of a small but growing number of drinkeries that serve no liquor.Worries about drinking are on the rise.Hospitals complain that alcohol-related admissions are soaring;some police chiefs have called for new powers to tackle disorderly drunks.On February 4th the Home Office announced a new plan that ought to stop retailers from selling alcoholic drinks below cost-something they occasionally do to attract shoppers.This,said Norman Baker,the Liberal Democrat,would"stop the worst examples of very cheap and harmful drink".Yet Britain is in many ways becoming more absterruous.In 2001 the average household consumed 1.5 litres of alcoholic drinks a week;by 2011,the figure had fallen t0 1.I litres.The young in particular seem to be giving up boozing:over the same period,the number of young men drinking heavily at least once a week feU from 37%t0 22%;women became less sozzled,too.Dry bars benefit from this fad:Redemption's customers doubled between December and January.Abstemious bars have also opened in Liverpool and Nottingham.Unlike many caf6s,they stay open late.They simulate hars in other ways,with live music,comedy acts and films to pull in customers.When the lights go down and the DJ plays at Sobar,which opened in Nottingham in January,it looks like any city bar,hopes Alex Gillmore,the manager.Redemption misses the huge profits made on alcohol,but temperance brings its own benefits.Business remains sleady throughout the week rather than spiking at the weekend,says Catherine Salway,its founder.Sobar is linked to a do-gooding drug and alcohol charity.But ordinary bars are becoming a little drier,too,out of business sense rather than temperance principle.Pubs can make almost as much selling food as drink-and more are serving it.Both in pubs and at home,less boozy drinks are beconung popular.Total sales of beer by volume dropped slightly in the year to January,but those of the weaker kinds jumped 32%,according to a market-research firm.Sales of"adult"sparkling soft drinks are grwing too.Perhaps the caf6-culture British politicians have so long yearned for is at last emerging.We can learn from the text that Redempiion is_____A.a noisy music barB.a bar with no spiritsC.a pub without serversD.a traditional British pub
选项
A.a noisy music bar
B.a bar with no spirits
C.a pub without servers
D.a traditional British pub
答案
B
解析
细节题。定位到第一段。[A]a noisy music bar“一家喧闹的音乐吧”:该项与第四句相关,该句说:But the noisy drinking often associated with British pubs at the weekend is absent.“然而,往常周末经常会有的吵闹的欢饮,却没有在这里出现。”由此可见.[A]项表述与原文相反,故可以排除。[B]a bar with no spirits“一家不供应烈酒的酒吧”:该项与最后一句“Redemption is one of a small but growing number of drinkeries that serve no liquor”相关,其中drinkeries“酒吧”=bar“酒吧”;serve no liquor“不供应烈酒”=with no spirits“没有烈酒”;注意,复数的spirits经常表示“烈酒”之意。故该项正确。[C]a pub without servers“一家没有服务员的酒吧”;该项属于无中生有,故排除。[D]a traditional British pub“一家传统的英国酒吧”;该项与第四句“But the noisy drinking often associated with British pubs al the weekend is absent”相关,通过该句可以判断Redemption并非传统英国酒吧,该项可以排除。综上,本题答案为[B]。
