【1題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“In December the atmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmas lights which are always lighted by a politician，a great sportsman，or a super star”可知，在12月(這里的)氣氛特別喜慶，因?yàn)槭フQ(彩)燈總是由一位政治家、偉大的運(yùn)動(dòng)員或超級(jí)明星點(diǎn)亮。根據(jù)第二段第二句可知，Selfridges百貨公司的建筑和櫥窗裝飾都給人留下了深刻的印象，但與題干中所提及的12月份無(wú)關(guān)；根據(jù)第二段第三句可知，這里有歐洲最大的音樂(lè)商店，也與12月的特別氣氛無(wú)關(guān)；D項(xiàng)文章中沒(méi)有提及。故選C。
【2題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段，尤其是第四段第二句“One of the oldest and best for food is probably Borough Market on the south bank of the Thames”可知，在Borough Market可以買到最好的食物，據(jù)此可知，如果你要享受美食，你可以去Borough Market。根據(jù)最后一段第三句“For clothes，Camden Market is the place”可知，Camden Market是一個(gè)賣衣服的地方，而不是賣食物的地方，故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段最后一句“There's also an organic food superstore”可知，Kensington High Street有有機(jī)食品商店，并沒(méi)有提到美食，故C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)最后一段第一句“Portobello Road Market on a Saturday is your best choice for jewelry or collector's items”可知，Portobello Road Market賣珠寶或收藏品，而不是食品，故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。所以答案為B。
