A.English working-class homes are similar to Gibraltarian one
B.English working-class homes have spacious sitting-room
C.English working-class homes waste a lot of spac
D.the English working-class parlour is intolerable in Gibralta

参考答案B
解析:推理判断题。由题干直接定位至第三段。首句指出典型的直布罗陀的住所情况“The usual Gibral.tarian home has no sitting.room,living-room or lounge.”,紧接着第二句出现了一个虚拟语气“The parlour of our working.class houses would be an intolerable waste of space.”,从首段末句“Thatwas the way we lived in Leeds.”可以判断此处的our working.class是指英国的工薪阶层,而该句是指英国打工族房屋的客厅对直布罗陀人而言是浪费空间,由此可以推断英国人住所里通常都有宽敞的客厅,故[B]为答案。从句中的waste of space可以判断直布罗陀人对英国人的客厅不以为然, [A]与原文矛盾;该句是直布罗陀人对英国客厅的看法,并非作者的看法,排除[C];直布罗陀人认为英国人家里的客厅是浪费空间,而浪费空间是令人难以容忍的,并非客厅本身令人难以容忍,排除 [D]。
