【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 A campaign is getting underway in Italy to take back large stretches of the country's beaches from private bathing clubs which usually charge to use them. This has been a summer of discontent because despite government efforts, an entire coastline has been monopolized by profiteering bathing clubs. Italy has some of Europe's finest beaches but they are often buried under a mountain of deckchairs and umbrellas. The government says the state owns the shoreline and swimming should be free. [解析] 本题考查新闻主旨。本则新闻是讲意大利正在开展一项将海滩从私人俱乐部收回的运动。选项B说海滩的公共使用问题，符合题意。新闻的首句是导语，一般概括了全文的主要内容，因此听第一句话非常重要。
