【1题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段最后一句“In December the atmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmas lights which are always lighted by a politician，a great sportsman，or a super star”可知，在12月(这里的)气氛特别喜庆，因为圣诞(彩)灯总是由一位政治家、伟大的运动员或超级明星点亮。根据第二段第二句可知，Selfridges百货公司的建筑和橱窗装饰都给人留下了深刻的印象，但与题干中所提及的12月份无关；根据第二段第三句可知，这里有欧洲最大的音乐商店，也与12月的特别气氛无关；D项文章中没有提及。故选C。
【2题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段，尤其是第四段第二句“One of the oldest and best for food is probably Borough Market on the south bank of the Thames”可知，在Borough Market可以买到最好的食物，据此可知，如果你要享受美食，你可以去Borough Market。根据最后一段第三句“For clothes，Camden Market is the place”可知，Camden Market是一个卖衣服的地方，而不是卖食物的地方，故A项错误；根据第三段最后一句“There's also an organic food superstore”可知，Kensington High Street有有机食品商店，并没有提到美食，故C项错误；根据最后一段第一句“Portobello Road Market on a Saturday is your best choice for jewelry or collector's items”可知，Portobello Road Market卖珠宝或收藏品，而不是食品，故D项错误。所以答案为B。
