"Well, the restroom is over there," he says and walks away.

答案
1. A 2. C 3. A 4. B
解析
1. 从短文第一段“Laura walks around the airport and has a nice time.”可以得知Laura此刻正在机场,还没有飞往伦敦,因此选A。
2. 根据划线单词后文Laura的内心活动,她完全不理解大家的回答,误以为人们都让她去休息,说明她此时处于困惑的状态,因此confused的中文意思是“迷惑的”,选C。
3. 这个故事介绍了不同地区对公共洗手间的不同常用表达,toilet和restroom指代的是同一事物,体现了和语言用词相关的文化差异,文中没有提及机场规则,也没有体现人们不友好,因此选A。
4. 全文的所有情节都围绕Laura寻找洗手间、询问他人toilet的位置展开,核心线索就是找厕所,因此最贴合故事的标题是B选项。
