Question

 

Café en Seine

The wildly luxury(奢華) new art style of this huge bar has been a massive hit since it first opened in 1995, and while it may not be the “in” place it once was, it is still very popular with the after-work crowd and out-of-towners. Maybe it’s the glass frames, or the real 12m-high trees; but most likely it’s the beautiful people supporting the wood-and-marble bar.

Good for: decoration, cocktails, amazing food and service

Address: 40 Dawson St

Transport: all city centre

Phone: 01 677 4369

Gravediggers (aka Kavanagh’s)

The gravediggers from the neighboring Glasnevin Cemetery had a secret serving hatch(艙口)  so that they could drink on the job – hence the pub’s nickname. Founded in 1833 by one John Kavanagh and still in the family, this pub is one of the best in Ireland, almost unchanged in 150 years. In summer time the green of the square is full of drinkers basking in the sun, while inside the hardened locals ensure that never a hint of sunshine disturbs some of the best Guinness in town. An absolute classic.

Good for: Guinness, traditional pub, pub food

Address: 1 Prospect Sq Glasnevin

Transport: 13 from city centre

Phone: 830 7978

Davy Byrne’s

James Joyce, an Irish author and a poet (1882-1941), would hardly recognise the bar that Leopold Bloom rushed into for a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of wine in Ulysses. It doesn’t stop Davy Byrne’s from making the most of its Joyce’s connections, even though today's version is strictly for out-of-towners and the rugby crowd.

Good for: socializing with the locals, tasty Irish food, watching TV

Address: 21 Duke St

Transport: all city centre

試題分析：本文介紹了幾家著名的酒吧，內(nèi)容包括各自的特色。比如Café en Seine以它奢華的裝修、美味的飯菜和優(yōu)質(zhì)的服務(wù)著稱；而Gravediggers則以傳統(tǒng)的酒吧風(fēng)格和美酒而聞名。此外文章還介紹了酒吧的地址、交通以及聯(lián)系電話。

1.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段The wildly luxury new art style of this huge bar has been a massive hit 和Good for: decoration, cocktails, amazing food and service可以判斷餐廳的裝修是人們前來的原因之一，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。

2.B詞義理解題。本段內(nèi)容介紹了愛爾蘭最好的酒吧，酒吧的特色就是Guiness，由此可以推斷Guinness是一種美酒，故正確答案選B。

3.C推理判斷題。文章第二段提到James Joyce, an Irish author and a poet (1882-1941), would hardly recognise the bar，由此推斷酒吧應(yīng)該早在19世紀(jì)就已經(jīng)存在了，所以判斷C為正確選項(xiàng)。

4.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。在文章第一段和第四段內(nèi)容中都提到了Transport: all city centre，由此可知選B。
