When Mr. Finch retired, he bought a small cottage in a seaside village. The cottage was built in the late sixteenth century, but it was in very good condition. Mr. Finch was looking forward to a quiet life, but in the summer holidays he got a shock. Hundreds of tourists came to the seaside village. Mr. Finch’s cottage was the most interesting building in the village and many of the tourists came to see it. From morning till night there were tourists outside the cottage. They kept looking through the windows and many of them even went into Mr. Finch’s garden. This was too much for Mr. Finch. He decided to drive the unwelcome visitors away, so he put up a notice in the window. The notice said: “If you want to satisfy your curiosity, come in and look around. Price 5 pounds.” Mr. Finch was sure that the visitors would stop coming, but he was wrong. The number of visitors increased and Mr. Finch spent every day showing them round his cottage. “I came here to retire, not to work as a guide,” he complained. In the end, he sold the cottage and bought a small, modern house. It is an uninteresting little place and no one wants to see it. But it is certainly quiet and peaceful.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. When was Mr. Finch’s cottage built?
27. Why did the tourists come to see Mr. Finch’s cottage?
28. Why did Mr. Finch put up a notice in the window?
29. Why did Mr. Finch buy another house?
选项
A、In order to have more peace.
B、In order to welcome more visitors.
C、In order to earn more money.
D、In order to have a bigger garden.
答案
A
解析
因果关系题。浏览选项可知,选项中都有“in order to”,很明显考查目的。承接上题,Mr.Finch写了参观需付费的notice想让那些游客离开,却起到了相反的效果,游客的数量反而大为增加,而他不得不充当导游带着他们参观房子,这样他更得不到安静了,无奈之下:Mr.Finch只能另买一处房子,故A正确。
