问题
(19) Well, if I could go back in history and live, I’d like to go back to the 18th century and perhaps in colonial America in Yankee New England where one of my ancestors lived, because it was the beginning of something. By the 18th century, there was a feeling of community that had grown. My ancestor was a preacher traveling around the countryside. People lived in small communities. There were fishermen and farmers who provided fresh food that tasted and looked like food, unlike that in today’s supermarkets, and there were small towns and New York wasn’t that far away. (20) I’m deeply attached to the Puritan tradition, not in a religious sense, but they believed in working for something, working for goals, and I like that. They worked hard at whatever they did, but they had a sense of achievement. They believed in goodness, in community, and helping one another. I love the colonial fabrics, all the silver work, the furnishings, the combination of elegance and simplicity. I love it. The printing, the books, I’m very attached to all that kind of thing. That may not all be very entertaining in the modem sense of the world, (21) but I would have enjoyed spending my evenings in that environment, discussing new ideas, building a new world. And I can see myself sitting on a small chair by the fire doing needlework.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. Why does the speaker say she would like to go back and live in the 18th century America?
20. What does the speaker say about the Puritans?
21. What would the speaker like doing if she could go back to the past?
选项
A、Chatting with her ancestors.
B、Doing needlework by the fire.
C、Furnishing her country house.
D、Polishing all the silver work.
答案

讲话者在短文末尾提到,如果能够回到从前,她喜欢在那样的环境里这样度过夜晚:讨论新的想法,建立一个新的世界,坐在炉火旁的小椅子上做针线活,因此答案为B)。
