题目解析:
请注意这是一篇‘‘建筑学”Lecture。即:教授提起大英帝国是因为这一历史事实与主题有关,而历史性的内容应该在历史课上介绍,所以教授在lecture表现出只介绍“建筑”部分内容的态度。由此可见,教授不想提供太多的历史背景信息,所以正确答案选C。
【对应原文】
But once the British conquered the Bengal province, they took on a different role. As, um, well, as a ruling power. And, well, I don't want this to turn into a history class or anything. So before that happens, can anyone guess why I might be giving you this historical background about India?
