【答案】1.B2,D3.B

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过对比介绍了城堡和宫殿的不同。

[1题详解】

细节理解题。根据TheCaseforCastles部分中的“protectivelowwallsforarchersto

shootwithcover”可知，用于射击的防御性低墙是城堡的特征之一。故选B。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据ThePIaceforPaIaces部分中的"Theywerefirstmeantforshowingoff

thegreatvictoryofthewar.”可知，宫殿最初被建是为了炫耀战争的伟大胜利。故选D。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。本文在第二段“11turnsoutthereisadifference,andyoucanfinditpretty

plainlyinthesetwopopularbuildings.”就说明了城堡和宫殿是有区别的。然后分别用

两部分TheCaseforCastles和ThePlaceforPaIaces详细地介绍了城堡和宫殿的特点。

所以可知，本段的写作目的就是为了对城堡和宫殿做一个对比。故选B。
