B)選項(xiàng)關(guān)于對(duì)某些人的看法和評(píng)價(jià)。男士說那邊的現(xiàn)代雕塑很詭異。女士先是附和,但考生要特別注意but后的信息,她說:我現(xiàn)在漸漸喜歡現(xiàn)代藝術(shù),尤其是意大利藝術(shù)家的雕塑。從這個(gè)變化可以看出,女士已學(xué)會(huì)欣賞現(xiàn)代雕塑。選項(xiàng)D是個(gè)干擾項(xiàng),聽力一開始男士認(rèn)為現(xiàn)代雕塑很怪異,他并沒有談及現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)家。stand這里是"容忍,忍受"的意思,作此意講時(shí)多用于否定句或疑問句,強(qiáng)調(diào)不喜歡。
