According to the conversation, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
W: What I don’t understand is why you’re so keen on the Layer-de-la-Haye house, Roger. Why on earth should we actually choose, to live out in a village, even if it is a popular village, or so the house agent’s description says, when we could get a place right in the center of Colchester? Look... we’ve got all these house descriptions. And we’ve got time to go and see all of them. You know that I’d much prefer to be in the town and...
M: ... and be boxed in by a thousand other houses... surrounded by a thousand faceless neighbors? No Julia... let’s go for the village. After all I’m the one who has to do all the traveling. Back and forth to London every day. And I’d rather add a fifteen-minute bus ride to the train ride.
W: That’s all very well... all very well to take that romantic attitude. You know... you think you can get out of everything and wriggle out of any argument. What about my preferences? You are being selfish you know.
M: Selfish? Me?
W: Yes you. Think of the children, Roger. It seems to me that you’re so carried away with the idea of living in the village and far from the crowd. I think your personal likes and dislikes are making you anything but practical. Alex for example... he’ll be going to secondary school next year. And as far as I’m concerned, the nearer the school the better. Have you read the description of your beautiful village house? Where is it? Yes... here we are... local primary school within walking distance it says. That of course means that the nearest secondary school will be in Colchester.
M: There are such things as school buses you know. And even if there weren’t, Alex is perfectly able... perfectly capable of using public transport.
W: Why at his age?... And think of Sylvia. She’s just getting used to the idea of being in the nursery, can you imagine there being a nursery school in Layer-de-la-Haye? And I must say I... yes, I like to be free of her for part of the day, so that I can get the shopping and the housework done... quite apart from it being good for her.
M: All right... all right. You’ve made your point. But after all these years in London I would have preferred a bit of fresh air and greenery and... you know... the occasional toddle round the nine-hole golf course they mention. It is nine-hole, isn’t it? Yes... Anyway... It’s goodbye to that... to the "pleasant and neat gardens front and rear, apple tree and ornamental fish Pond, patio and..."
W: Stop talking through your hat. You’ve never been a lover of fresh air... your overcoat’s on as soon as the first gentle touch of the first spring breeze. And as for golf... well... we both know you love a beer at the clubhouse rather than any outdoor sports. Why is it that you’re always insisting that you like the country life, you love getting up early, you adore a good brisk walk, and so on and so on, when in fact...
M: But I do like the country... I would love getting up early... I’d often be out there having a good brisk walk... if only...
W: If only what?
M: If only... well... if only we lived somewhere that would make it all possible and worthwhile. Never mind. Colchester is good enough I suppose. There’ll be fields and trees nearby.
W: Exactly. Now just look at this, the description of this house. I think we ought to go and see it. It’s east of the town center, so you won’t be too boxed in as you say, and shops, schools and everything else are in easy reach. We’d have the best of both worlds, you with your golf and beer... me with my fenceless neighbors.
M: And there’s another consideration. It costs... what...? 2300 less. With that we’ll be saving for quite a nice sailing-boat.
W: Oh no!
M: You know Julia... I’ve always wanted to have a little sailing-boat... out there in the front garden. Then on Saturdays or Sundays or Bank Holidays we can hitch the trailer to the car and go to the nearest bit of river or sea. It’d do the children a world of good. I’d like them to have what I’ve never had... while they’re still young...
选项
A、Roger doesn’t enjoy the nature very much.
B、Roger doesn’t do well in golf.
C、Roger has been drinking too much beer.
D、Roger loves getting up early.
答案
A
解析
在提到乡村生活时,女士处处讽刺男士,说他根本就不喜欢自然风,春天的第一丝风来临,他便把大衣穿上。可推测男士并不那么喜欢大自然,选A。其他三个选项都是用对话中的个别词语胡乱拼凑的干扰项,应注意排除。
