M: [8]When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.
W: The seasons?
M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What it is like when the days are so short?
W: So what is it like?
M: Well, it is cold, very cold in winter. Sometimes as cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course when you go out, you wrap up warm. [8]But inside, in houses, it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home, [9] Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in a good winter.
W: And what about the darkness?
M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really look forward to the spring. [10]It is sometimes a bit depressing, but you see the summers are amazing. From May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets. It’s still light at midnight. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.
W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.
M: That’s right, but it’s wonderful. You wanna stay up all night. And the Swedes make the most of it. Often they start work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. [11]They like to work hard, but play hard, too. I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing.
8. What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
9. What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter?
10. How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden?
11. What does the man say about the Swedish people?

选项 A、He likes Sweden better than England.
B、He prefers hot weather to cold weather.
C、He visits London nearly every winter.
D、He is an Englishman living in Sweden.

答案 D

解析 男士一开始就说自己生活在瑞典,同时后面还提到冬天瑞典的室内比家乡要暖和。综合后面讲到的关于英国的情况可知男士所说的home指的便是England,因此答案为D。A说男士更喜欢瑞典,B说男士更喜欢炎热天气,但对话并未提及男士更喜欢哪个,所以排除;C说他几乎每个冬天都拜访伦敦,与对话内容不符。
