Strange things have been happening to England. Still【1】from the dissolution of the empire in the years【2】World War Ⅱ, now the English find they are not even British. As the cherished "United Kingdom" breaks into its【3】parts, Scots are clearly【4】and the Welsh, Welsh. But who exactly are the English? What’s left of them, with everything but the【5】half of their island taken away?
Going back in time to【6】roots doesn’t help. First came the Celts, then the Romans, then Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danes. Invasion after invasion, until the Norman Conquest. English national identity only seemed to find its【7】later, on the shifting sands of expansionism, from Elizabethan times onwards. The empire seemed to seal it. But now there’s just England,【8】of a green island in the northern seas, lashed by rain, scarred by two【9】of vicious industrialization fallen【10】dereliction, ruined, as D.H. Lawrence thought, by "the tragedy of ugliness," its abominable architecture.
Of all English institutions, the one to【11】on would surely be the pub. Shelter to Chaucer’s pilgrims, home to Falstaff and Hal, throne of felicity to Dr. Johnson, the pub- that smoky, yeasty den of jollity-is the womb of【12】, if anywhere is. Yet in the midst of this national【13】crisis, the pub, the mainstay of English life, a staff driven【14】into the sump of history,【15】as the Saxons, is suddenly dying and evolving at【16】rates. Closing at something like a rate of more than three a day, pubs have become【17】enough that for the first time since the Domesday Book, more than half the villages in England no longer have one. It’s a rare pub that still【18】, or even limps on, by being what it was【19】to be: a drinking establishment. The old【20】of a pub as a place for a "session," a lengthy, restful, increasingly tipsy evening of swigging, is all but defunct.
选项
A、belief
B、idea
C、reflection
D、circumstance
答案
B
解析
本句后面解释的是酒吧本来应该用来做什么,故是人们对于酒吧的理解,那么idea为最佳。至于belief,酒吧的地位还未到这一地步。
