答案解析

B
语义理解题。该题问的是讲话者想象中乡村小镇的生活是什么样的。题干中的关键信息为expect of,从而定位到录音中的“You expect them to be pretty and cosy with nice fresh air and happy people, good fresh country food, locally killed meat and free-range eggs and apples and pears from the fruit farms”,可知讲话者心目中的乡村小镇美丽并且舒适,空气新鲜,人们生活幸福,食物新鲜健康。其中cosy对应选项B中的comfortable,而对食物的修饰词如good fresh,free-range等,暗含了healthy之意。由此可知,B项(舒适而健康)与说话者所表达的对小镇生活的期盼内容相符。
