Question 8 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

听力原文

W: I’ve made a new friend recently. Her name is Susan, and she’s from South Africa.

M: How did you meet her?

W:We met over WeChat. She has very cool photos on her social media. The photos of her hometown look amazing.

M: What’s her hometown called?

W: (8) [It’s called Cape Town.] It’s in the southwest of South Africa. She says it’s very green and windy. The city was built by European settlers, and there’s a big mountain that overlooks the city. (9) [The mountain is called Table Mountain, because it’s flat at the top.]

M: That sounds interesting. What are the people there like?

W: Well, Susan says South Africa is very mixed. There are black people and white people and Indian people. Susan is white. (10) [She says her ancestors were from Britain.] Many languages are spoken in South Africa, but she only speaks English.

M: Didn’t South Africa host the Football World Cup a few years ago? They must play football a lot then, right?

W: (11) [I think they play football, but it’s not as popular as rugby.]

M: Rugby? What’s rugby?

W: Rugby is a sport with two teams, and the players carry the ball in their arms and throw it at each other. The ball is not round, and the players push each other. I don’t really understand the rules. I think it’s very complicated.

M: That sounds like a very strange sport indeed. Is it only South Africa that plays it?

W: No. It’s also popular in Britain and in other former British colonies, like Australia and New Zealand.

8. What does the woman say about her new friend Susan?

解析：C。录音开头部分女士提到她的新朋友苏珊，男士问苏珊的家乡叫什么，女士回答说她来自开普敦，C项的Cape Town原词复现，故为正确答案。

错项排除：A项利用录音中的photos进行干扰，但录音中是说苏珊社交媒体上的照片非常酷，并没有说她对摄影表现出热情，故A项排除。录音中提到her hometown，但并没有说她刚从家乡回来，故B项排除。D项利用录音中的amazing进行干扰，但录音中说的是她家乡的照片（photos of her hometown）看起来棒极了，并不是她的外表（appearance），故D项排除。
