A.Reverse rhyme

B.End rhyme

C.Assonance

D.Alliteration

参考答案:D

考查押韵。“Alice’s aunt ate apples and acorns aroundAugust.”该句中每一个单词都以a开头,英语中一组词、一句话或是一行诗中重复出现开头音相同的词,这种修辞手法称为押头韵,主要包括词首元音的重复、词首辅音的重复和辅音连缀的重复三种形式。押头韵在英语里叫alliteration.又叫initial rhyme或head rhyme。如first and foremost,Becky’s beagle barked and bayed,becoming bothersome for Billy.故选D。reserve rhyme是反韵,end rhyme是尾韵,assonance是类韵/半谐音。
