In its everyday life, Italy is very much the man’s world. However, because of the Italian’s understanding of foreigners, the woman tourist is able to invade many of the male places that are prohibited to Italian women. These places include the cafè and the wine shop.
In the large cities the cafè is a combination of club and office. Here, for the price of a coffee, an Italian can read all the newspapers brought to him. And he can transact business, with the waiter producing pen, ink, and stamps as needed. Or if he wants, he can sit outside under a canvas covering before the door and enjoy the sight of beautiful women passing by.
The wine shop, as a rule, is a more vigorous place than the caf6, and is filled almost exclusively with men. Wandering singers, generally in groups of two or three, add to the noise of these places with their songs and music. Many of the songs are of a political character and make fun of the leading statesmen of Italy, America, England, France, and Russia. But the songs are generally showing off a spirit of mischief. And when the criticism is about America, the American tourists find themselves laughing as much as anyone else. The Italian is a master at making fun of you and making you like it.
The Italian men are deep-rooted gamblers. They have been brought up to it as children, but they are cautious gamblers and never go too much in it. The national lottery used to be one of the most popular forms of gambling. But later a football stake had taken away much of the interest in the lottery. But here the important thing is that gambling, the same as drinking, seldom goes to an Italian’s head and his bets are not really dangerous risks. Even at cards the Italian plays for low stakes, generally for a cup of coffee or wine.
In this world of the Italian male it would be careless if the romanticism of the Italian were neglected. The Italian might well be described as the world’s greatest romanticist. From any boat in Venice to any member of the government in Rome, the Italian is always aware of romance, of love and of the importance of being a good lover.
on the beaches of Italy, the visitor is aware that the Italian really live for romance. His manners, his compliments, his charm and his general way of behaving are those of a romanticist. Almost every Italian you meet is convinced that he is another Casanova.
Romance is as much a part of Italy as its art and its history. Perhaps the feeling of romance that wells up in you when you come to Italy is one of the greatest things that Italy has to offer a world that is tired of war and political intrigue. It is the ideal place for a honeymoon because hotel managers and waiters make you conscious of your own love and stress it in such a way that you feel more in love in this country than in any other. [br] In Italy, the cafè and the wine shop ______.
选项

B、welcome the Italian women only
C、do not allow the Italian women to come in
D、do not allow the foreign women to come in
答案
C
解析
本题考的是对原文的理解能力。根据题干 cafè and wine shop,去原文第一段寻找相关内容,“In its everyday life,Italy is very much the man’s world.However,because of the Italian’s understanding of foreigners,the woman tourist is able to invade many of the male places that are prohibited to Italian women.These places include the cafè and the wine shop,”(在日常生活中,意大利总体上是男性主导的国家。然而,由于意大利人特别优待外国客人,许多意大利女性免人的男性专用场所也可以接待女性游客。这些场所中就有咖啡店以及酒馆。) cafè 就是意大利语的coffee,我们常喝的cafè latte就是意大利语的咖啡加牛奶(latte意即牛奶)。understanding在本句中意为体谅,谅解(sympathetic awareness),而 prohibit是禁止的意思,可以说"Smoking is prohibited here.”可见,由于对外国人的体谅,意大利允许国外女性游客进入cafè and wine shop;但对国内的女性,cafè and wine shop是禁止人内的,故选C。
