    An anthropologist and a team of researchers have unveiled some of the mysterious【C3】______ of British pubs—starting with the difficulty of getting a drink. Most pubs have【C4】______ waiters—you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. A group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes 【C5】______ they realized they would have to 【C6】______their own drinks.

【C1】
选项 A、minefields
B、battlefields
C、paradises
D、occasions
答案A
解析 名词辨析题。从此旬中的potential discourtesies and offenses可判断，对于酒吧不了解的人，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”均不符合文意，故排除。
