With us [in Britain] the cities pretend they are not really ther

With us [in Britain] the cities pretend they are not really there, until we are well inside them.
A、...there are no obvious city limits.
B、...we find ourselves already in the city without knowing it.
C、...cities and the countryside are harmoniously combined into one.
D、...we pass through an area which is partly city and partly countryside before entering a city.
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：原句译文：在我们完全身在其中之前，城市好像不存在似的。本句采用了拟人的手法，实际意为我们不知不觉地踏入城市,暮然回首，发现早已在其中。C和D项中的countryside(乡村)在原句中没有相关信息；A项意为城市没有明显的界线，与原文不符。答案为B。
