【B8】
选项
A、culture
B、institution
C、deed
D、malpractice
答案
B
解析
本题要求考生判断空白处应填人的适当名词。the 8 of twice—yearly fairs persisted意思是“一年两次集市的……保留了下来”。每年两次集市是当地人们的定期贸易活动,是一种习俗。只有[B]选项有习俗的含义。具体地说institution有这样的含义:A custom,practice,re—lationship,or behavioral pattern of importance in the life of a community or society(制度,习俗:一个社会或社区生活中的习惯、实践、关系或主要的行为方式)。因此,本题选择选项[B]。
