【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] The Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with the suburbs to the north. Each day about one hundred thousand automobiles cross the bridge taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours. With the traffic so heavy, the trip is not pleasant. Now, however, there lives one group of happy commuters. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again. The ferry they take is spacious, quiet and comfortable. The trip takes only 30 minutes and it's not very costly. But best of all, being on the boat seems to make people more friendly toward each other. Because the ferry has been so successful, there are plans to use other still larger boats. There is also a proposal for a high speed boat that makes the trip only for 15 minutes. But not everyone is happy about that. A lot of people feel that half an hour is just enough time to relax. How do commuters feel about crossing the Golden Gate Bridge by car? 新闻中提到,每天大约有10万部车辆从金门大桥通过,他们当中有超过一半的人是在早晚高峰时段通过大桥的。由于交通非常拥挤,过桥的行程并不让人感到愉快。由下文可知,这些人就是上下班的通勤人士,因此,本题应选C。
