参考译文
萨拉·戴维斯居住在澳大利亚的道尔顿。她的父母在那有一个牧羊场。道尔顿是一个只有百名人口的小镇。最近的城市离它有150多公里的距离。因此,萨拉不经常去。她喜欢牧场的生活。她和她的弟弟杰夫在小镇上学。夏天通常很热,所以学校早上7点半开课,中午就放学了。这个时节,他们的父亲杰克·戴维斯正在羊圈里工作。现在正是舅羊毛的季节,6个人都在给羊剪羊毛。杰克将优质羊毛和劣质羊毛分别放在不同的地方。萨拉将优质羊毛带到羊毛商店去。在羊圈的工作非常辛苦,但是萨拉和杰夫却不觉得,因为他们认为非常有趣。杰夫喜欢和动物一起工作。当不帮父亲忙时,他会读一些关于农业的书籍。他明年打算去大学学习农业。当他们完成在羊圈的工作后,萨拉和杰夫打算去河里游泳。他们绍常去那里游泳。
句意:为什么萨拉不经常去市区?细节题。从文章第一段第三句“The nearest city is over one hundred and fifty kilometers away,so Sarah doesn’t often go there.”可以得出,因为距离比较遥远,所以萨拉不经常去,故选项B符合题意。
