问题     BRITAIN is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have pros and cons.
                                                Good news
    Free museums. No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities.
    Pop music. Britain is the only country to rival (与……比敌) the US on this score.
    Black cabs. London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night.
    Choice of food. Visitors can find everything from Ethiopian to Swedish restaurants.
    Fashion. Not only do fashion junkies love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too.
Bad news
    Poor service. "It’s part of the image of the place. People can dine out on the rudeness they have experienced, "says Professor Tony Seaton, of London University’s International Tourism Research Center.
    Poor public transport. Trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists, although the overcrowded London tube is inexplicably (无法解释的) popular.
    Lack of languages. Speaking slowly and clearly may not get many foreign visitors very far, even in the tourist traps(圈套).
    Rain. Still in the number one complaint(抱怨).
    An air-conditioning. So that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the downpours.
    Overpriced hotels. The only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark.
    Licensing hours. Alcohol(酒)is in short supply after 1! p.m. even in "24-hour cities".

选项 A、Poor service.
B、Poor public transport.
C、Rain.
D、Overpriced hotels.

答案B

解析 从文章第二部分的第二条可以知道,“trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists...”,可知尽管伦敦的交通很发达,但是公共设施的不方便不得不使得最热心的旅游者也只能是望而止步。所以正确的答案为B。
