Far fewer bouquets(花束) and handwritten messages adorned the gates of the former London home of Diana, Princess of Wales, than a year ago, when the grounds of Kensington Palace became a vest carpet of flowers.
But on the anniversary of the car crash that ended Diana’s life last Aug. 31, some often cards placed on the wroughtuiron(熟铁,锻铁) bars of the gate were revealing. One read: "They made life hard for you. Now they are copying you."
"They" means Queen Elizabeth U and her family, and the message is a reference to a statement for Buckingham Palace a few days earlier saying that the royal family had "learned a lesson" from the public reaction to Diana’s death. There would be more informality on royal occasions and less attention to protocol(礼仪). People meeting the queen need no longer bow or curtsy, unless they want to.
This is quite a turnaround.
In the days immediately after Diana’s death, it seemed the monarchy was tottering(摇动) and might even fall. A grieving public attacked the royal family for their perceived heartlessness in the face of human tragedy. The family was forced to return from holiday in Scotland and join the London crowds.
By angry public demand, the queen, in a symbolic decision, and with obvious reluctance, ordered a flag at half-mast from Buckingham Palace.
Prince Charles, Diana’s former husband, was a target of savage(尖锐的) public criticism. He was widely perceived as aloof and uncaring. There was talk of excluding him from the succession and passing the crown to his elder son, Prince William.
One year later, all that appears to have changed.
A late-August opinion poll put public support for Charles at 63 percent, compared with 42 percent at the time of the Paris crash. The queen scored 73 percent. Only 15 percent of those surveyed said Britain would be better off without a monarchy.
Royal family used to pay much attention to the following except______.
选项
A、formality
B、curtsy
C、protocol
D、public opinion
答案
D
解析
参照前两题和第三段的内容,王室在吸取教训之前是关注形式和礼仪的,而忽略的是公众意见,所以选项D正确。其他三个选项排除。
