59、 is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete.

BThey are sad to part with the old theater.CThey are supportive of the city officials. DThey are eager to have a shopping center.答案:B解析
66、:推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with tearyeyed audience wanting to say goodbye to the old building”可知,观众含泪观看最后一部电影,想向剧院告别;再结合最后一段最后一句“The theater will be missed”可以推断出观众对剧院恋恋不舍,与剧院告别让他们感到很悲伤。故选B。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,
