问题 Where is Charing Cross Road located? [br]  
Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books. There are many streets in London containing shops, which specialize in book selling.(14)Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one like the biggest bookshop in the world to the tiny, dusty little places, which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops sell, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, art books, foreign books, books on philosophy, politics or any other of a very large number of subjects. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet. Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest.(15)For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must travel off the beaten tracks to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrow, which line the roadside.(16)In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.

选项 A、One of the bookshops was left over from Dickens’ time.
B、There are many bookstores on Farringdon Road.
C、Only one shop in Charing Cross Road sells books about ballet.
D、One can pick up second-hand books for a few pence on Farringdon Road.

答案 D

解析 语义理解题。根据句(16)可知,在这里,只要花上几便士,就可以买到原本比较值钱的二手书籍。所以D为正确答案。
