【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
{{U}}I fell in love with England because it was quaint{{/U}} — all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls' houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. {{U}}I've slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it's an ugly town now.{{/U}}
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. {{U}}The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners — people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.{{/U}}
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You're forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. {{U}}To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub,{{/U}} and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I'm afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that's typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. {{U}}His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because be was always alone.{{/U}}
Why doesn't the speaker like London?
[解析] 短文中提到，I've slightly changed my mind...because I think it's an ugly town now，接着列举理由：The fair play is going...so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners — people shut doors heavily...politeness is disappearing.，由此可知，说话者改变想法，理由是这个国家变得很丑陋，她现在已不习惯英国的生活，故答案为A。
