【答案解析】[听力原文]
   M: Hello, and welcome to today's programme. I'm James.
   W: And I'm Susan.
   M: Today, we're going to talk about family names. Susan, I've often wondered, why you've got a double-barrelled surname, I mean you're American, and I thought it was only us Brits who went for things like that. Susan Writer Wells, it sounds almost invented, doesn't it?
   W: Well, you're actually not far off the mark. You know my mom was a feminist, don't you?
   M: Really? I never knew that. Well go on then.
   W: Yeah, well her maiden name was Morse, and at that time, I'm talking about the late 1960s, women like my morn were really trying to liberate themselves from male bondage, as they called it. So some. of them began rejecting their father's surname and decided to invent their own surname instead, and because my morn was a journalist she decided to call herself Cindy Writer.
   M: Cindy Writer. Well, who would have guessed!
   W: Actually other feminists named themselves after the town where they were born, like the sculptor Judy Boston. Some even called themselves after a day of the week.
   M: Oh, yes. Wasn't there someone called Victoria Friday? Or maybe she's got nothing to do with it. But your morn wasn't so much of a feminist that she didn't get married, was she?
   W: No. But the problem then was what to call herself or rather her children. Anyway a lot of people of her generation simply decided to add their husband's name to their own. My dad's called Paul Wells, so I'm Susan Writer Wells.
   M: So what would happen if you, Susan Writer Wells, meet some guy who's called Peter Painter Jones, do you then become Susan Writer Wells Painter Jones, bit of a mouthful, isn't it?
   W: No comment. I think the most sensible thing to do is to do what they do in countries like Italy.
   M: What do you mean?
   W: Well, over there the woman keeps her maiden name pretty much for all purposes, like bank accounts, identity cards; and the man obviously keeps his name.
   M: What about the children then?
   W: Well they keep their father's name.
   M: So we're back to the old problem, aren't we, the men win out again?
   W: Yeah, but one solution could be for the sons to keep their father's name and the daughter their mother's.
   M: Well, that might be a good idea.
   W: Ok, that's the end of today's programme. Don't forget to join us again soon.
   What is the woman's family name?
本题问女士的姓氏是什么。录音一开始男士说他不明白为什么女士的姓是由两个部分组成的(double-barrelled surname)，所以就此可先排除A项和B项。再者，男士提到女士叫Susan Writer Wells，因此D项是女士的全名而不只是姓氏。故本题应选C项。
