M: And where is this?
W: These photos are from the Taj Mahal in India. (12) We went there about ten years ago for our honeymoon.
M: Was it romantic?
W: Yeah. The Taj Mahal was a very romantic place. The guide told us there is a famous love story behind this building that all Indians learn in school. I think it was during the 1600s and the princess at that time died while giving birth to her 14th child. (13) The emperor loved the princess so much and was so sad when she died that he ordered the palace to be built in her honor. M: Wow! That sounds very romantic. It looks amazing.
W: Yes, it’ s gorgeous. It’ s also larger in real life than it looks in the photos. The building is very tall and there are gardens in a wall around it all. (14) It’ s all built in this white stone and some walls of the building are decorated with jewels.
M: It must have been very crowded when you were there.
W: Yes, it’ s a very famous tourist destination. So there are thousands of visitors every day.
M: Was the rest of India crowded?
W: (15) Yes, very crowded in many cities. It was sometimes so crowded that it was difficult to walk along the streets, especially through busy markets. And there are so many cars. Traffic was terrible but the people were friendly. The culture is amazing and we had a great time.
M: What about the food?
W: Indian food is great. There are lots of different dishes to try and every region has its own special food.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

答案 A

解析 题干问的是为什么修建泰姬陵。对话中女士说印度的一位皇帝为了纪念其难产死去的爱妃而建造了泰姬陵,故答案为A(纪念一位妃子)。B项(纪念伟大的皇帝)、C项(纪念17世纪一位皇帝的逝世)和D项(庆祝王妃第十四个孩子的出生)均与对话内容不符,故排除。
