An anthropologist and a team of researchers have unveiled some of the mysterious(3)______ of British pubs—starting with the difficulty of getting a drink.

选项
A、minefields
B、battlefields
C、paradises
D、occasions
答案
A
解析
名词辨析题。从此句中的potential discourtesies and offenses可判断,人们对于他们不了解的人,一不小心就会失礼、惹事,所以好客的酒吧可能会成为潜在的“危险地带”。[A]minefields意为“地雷区,危险地带”,符合句意,故为正确答案。[B]battlefields“战场”、[C]paradises“天堂,乐园”和[D]occasions“场合,时刻”均不符合题意,故均可排除。
