8、lifetoday is rather uninterestingD.village lifetoday is no longer like what it used to be參考答案： D參考解析：本文第二段對過去和現(xiàn)在的農(nóng)村生活進(jìn)行對比，由此得出現(xiàn)在的農(nóng)村生活已經(jīng)不再像過去的農(nóng)村生活那樣了。所以本題準(zhǔn)確參考答案：應(yīng)該是D.而不是A:那些談?wù)撧r(nóng)村已經(jīng)不存有的年輕人 是錯(cuò)誤的，B:農(nóng)村和農(nóng)村生活相反，C:今天的農(nóng)村生活很乏味。The expression.there is no point whatever intalking about.in paragraph 3 means that
