　　64．C 主旨大意题．根据文章全篇讲的都是有关英国的从过去到现在有关"pub"的事情，故答案为C

　　65．B细节理解题．Thisdeclineishappeningdespitethefactthatin2005theUKgovernmentstartedtoallowpubstostayopenafter1lpm．Previously，with1lpmasclosingtime，customerswouldhavetodrinkquitequickly，以前关门时间是晚上11点钟，顾客们不得不快速喝酒，现在允许11点后经营也没有阻止酒吧的衰落，因此选B．

　　66．D推理判断题．根据倒数第二段最后一句TheBritishhabitofdrinkingalotveryquicklyisknownas"bingedrinking"，anditcauseslong-termhealthproblemsforpeopleandproblemswithviolentcrimeforcommunities．对于英国政府出台的这个政策可知，政府是反对酗酒的，因此用法律的手段来限制酗酒．选D

　　67．A推理判断题．根据最后一句Perhapsthingsarechangingforthebetterafterall．"毕竟事情变得更好点了"可知，作者对于英国酒吧的发展的态度应该是比较积极乐观的．选A
