Answer 1

答案：1A2A3A4B
解析：
听力原文： The word “pub” is the short form for “public house” in Great Britain. It is supposed to be the Englishmen’s favorite meeting place where they can get together with friends over a pint of beer and talk about football or horse racing or business. Pubs are usually open from 11: 00 a.m. to midnight. You may notice that the pub is the Englishmen’s meeting place. It is not quite respectable for a woman to go into a pub alone. She must have a man to go with her. Perhaps that’s partly the reason why pubs depress me—they are intended mainly to provide for male interests. Most Englishmen have their favorite local where they can escape from the pressures of family life or work and if they are lucky they tell their trouble to a pretty bargirl. Indeed many men dream of retiring from their 9 to 5 jobs and buying a little country pub where they imagine they’ll be the host of a seven nights a week party.
