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、Because it was at the seaside.
B、Because of its old style of architecture.
C、Because of the beautiful garden in front of it.
D、Because it was the only modern building there.
答案
B
解析
因果关系题。浏览选项可知,选项皆以“because”开头,考查原因。文中提到Mr.Finch的小屋是海边村庄中最interesting(有趣的)的建筑,所以许多游客都来参观。结合上面提到的小屋建于16世纪,因此风格与现代的房屋不同,interesting必然是指它的old style of architecture(古老的建筑风格),故B正确。
