四：阅读理解(共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项.

A

Pubs are supposed to be the Englishman’s favorite meeting place, where he can get together with a few friends over a pint of beer and talk about football, or horse racing, or business.

You may notice that the pub is the place for men, but not for women. Even now it is still not quite respectable for a woman to go into a pub alone; she must have a man to escort (护卫) and protect her. Perhaps that is partly why pubs depress me – they are intended mainly to provide for male interests, which are often pretty narrow. I think this male-dominated(男性主导的) atmosphere also reminds me of my life back at school, or in the army, neither of which is an experience I much want to relive.

However, I’m obviously in the minority. Most Englishmen have their local pubs, where they can escape from the pressures of family life or work, and if they are lucky, tell their troubles to a pretty barmaid. Indeed, many men dream of retiring from their 9-5 jobs and buying a little country pub, there they imagine they’ll be the host of a seven-night-a-week party. This dream usually dies when cleaning up spilled beer at one o’clock in the morning.

Still, there’s pub for every type of man, from the city sophisticate to the rural primitive, and a man for every type of pub. And I must admit that, for someone who doesn't like them, I spent a lot of time in pubs of various kinds.

61. For what do Englishmen go to the pubs?

A. They go there to make friends.

B. They go to meet and talk with their friends over some beer.

C. They go there to see the pretty barmaid.        D. They go there to do business dealings.

62. What doesn't the speaker like about the pubs?

A. The smell of alcohol and tobacco.

B. The complaints men make about their family life.

C. The male-dominated atmosphere.              D. The spilled beer all around.

63. What are many men dreaming of?

A. Owning a pub and living like having a party everyday night.

B. Taking their female friends to their own favourite pubs.

C. Retiring from their present jobs.

D. Freeing themselves from the pressures of their family life and work.

64. What can you conclude from the passage?

A. The speaker doesn't like the atmosphere in the pubs very much, so he hardly goes there.

B. More and more women are now going to pubs.

C. Pubs are the only place where Englishmen can complain about their pressures of life and work.

D. Different types of pubs in Britain meet the taste of different types of men
