23、ers, a radical idea at the time.”即“这个法案建议政府从漠不关心的私人业主手上将受到威胁的史前遗迹接管过来”相比，措施缓和了许多，从radical变成了willingly，由此可以推断措施已经变得没有那么严厉了，因此A选项(less)severe符合题意，为正确答案。5.

24、eD.the origin of the Ancient Monuments Bill答案:D解析 主旨题。结合文章第一段末句的“How did it happen?”可知，该篇文章主要谈论的是“古代遗迹法案是如何提出并通过的”，因此D选项the origin of the Ancient Monuments Bill“古代遗迹法案的起源”符合题意，为正确答案。Part B John Harvey: In fact if you go out to a restaurant its very difficult to find British cooking, but you can find
