(B)

Edinburgh——the fourth most beautiful city in the world

Here are some of our favourite spots for eating, sightseeing and shopping.

Need inspiration?
Scott Monument	This remarkable Gothic building was built in memory of the life and work of Sir Walter Scott. Climb the 287 steps to the top and you’ll be rewarded with some pretty special views.
History lovers?	Edinburgh Castle looks over the city skyline from Castle Rock. You can take a tour (human or audio) or just wander through it with a map. Listen out for the One o’clock Gun – it fires every day except Sunday. At one o'clock. Obviously.
Time your trains With cheap train tickets to Edinburgh to coincide
Feeling hungry?
A satisfying dinner:	With ingredients carefully sourced from local growers, plus home-grown fresh fruits and edible flowers, Timberyard has favourable reviews.
A light lunch:	Thomson’s Bar claims to serve “the best steak pie in Edinburgh”, to match with real beer (it’s in the Good Beer Guide) and enough whiskies (威士忌酒) to take up a whole page on the drinks menu.
Shopping centre
Princes Street:	You’ll find all your favourites on Edinburgh’s main shopping drag, Princes Street. There’s M&S, Gap and Waterstones and also a bit of a retail landmark in the shape of Jenners department store.
Harvey Nichols:	A byword (代名词) for luxury, Harvey Nicks is loved by the fashion pack. Gucci, Victoria Beckham and Marc Jacobs will try to separate you from your cash.
Hidden Edinburgh
Edinburgh’s deepest secret (literally) is a network of underground streets, which you can tour with a guide. Try “The Real Mary King’s Close” to uncover some of the myths and mysteries as to how the street, once open to the skies, found itself underground.

C. https://www.virgintrainseastcoast.com/our-destinations/edinburgh-overview

D. http://www.edinburghcastle.gov.uk/discover/about-the-castle

答案：

70.B 71.C 72.B 73.C

具体解析：

70.在history lover里的第一句就是Edinburgh Castle looks over the city skyline from Castle Rock.，look over这个词组是俯瞰的意思，说明在这里可以有爱丁堡的full view，考生要注意同意替换奥

71.在Harvey Nichols这一栏里说这里都是luxury，并且举了一些高端牌子的例子，如Gucci, Victoria Beckham and Marc Jacobs，同学们要认识选项C中high-end是高端的意思，并且熟知一些高端时尚品牌，即可解出此题

72. 在A satisfying dinner这一栏里，我们可以看到爱丁堡有很多美味可口的食物，flowers在这里看起来有点格格不入，所以可吃的似乎才是最合理的解释

73.这一题其他选项支误导性比较强，需要我们一一排除，A选项中的flights-to-edinburgh和原文中的train是矛盾的，B选项中的one-day-tours-scotland-from-edinburgh是很明显的错误，本文讲的是去爱丁堡玩，而不是从爱丁堡游览苏格兰，一个from就出卖了它，D选项中的gov.uk代表着government，而这篇文章显然是旅行社的推文，排除了这3个选项，故只能选C
