单选题
【D7】
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】Alice还从来没去主办国观看过奥林匹克运动会,于是Sue问她:“如果有人为你付路费的话,你会去吗?”从Alice的回答“That would’ve been very nice”可以看出她认为这主意不错,可她接着就提出来门票也得替她支付她才会去。“would have+动词过去分词”是英语中的虚拟语气,后面往往会跟有转折说明实际情况。Sue下面回应说现在门票确实有些贵(意即不是所有人都能负担得起),由此也可以得知Alice在这里提到了门票的事。故选B。
【答案解析】Sue提议Alice可以把想看的项目录下来来解决她的问题,可Alice又抱怨说这样就意味着她必须得熬夜来看她错过的赛事,Sue对此显得无可奈何,认为Alice实在是令人太难以取悦了(a hard person to please)。“hard”用来形容人时指的是该人难以相处或难以取悦。故选D。
