单选题The following words or phrases are somewhat critical of the tea-shop EXCEPT

A．"... turned Babylonian".
B．"perhaps a new barbarism". 
C．"acres of white napery".
D．"balanced to the last halfpenny".

参考答案C
解析:推理判断题。[A]出现在首段第一句“a tea．shop that had gone mad and turned Babylonian”，由句 中的had gone mad可以看出这里多少有点儿批判之意；perhaps a new barbarism在第二句中对应“perhaps a new civilization”，既然civilization意为“文明”，故[B]barbarism“野蛮”有些许批判之意；balanced to the last halfpenny是针对第二句中的“and behind the thin marble front were concrete and steel”说的，因为句中提到“just as behind the careless profusion of luxury were millions ofpence”，这里的luxury有负面含义，故[D]也含有些许批判意味。只有[C]acres of white napery出现在第三句中，是对细节的描写，无批判之意，故为答案。
