M: I'm really exhausted, Mary. But I don't want to miss the Hollywood movie that comes on at 11.

M: Those modern sculptures over there are really weird. Don't you think so?
W: Well, I couldn't stand them either at first. But now I've come to like modern art, particularly those sculptures carved by Italian artists.

B) She has learned to appreciate modern sculptures.
C) Italian artists' works are difficult to understand.

【答案解析】
B)选项关于对某些人的看法和评价。男士说那边的现代雕塑很诡异。女士先是附和，但考生要特别注意but后的信息，她说：我现在渐渐喜欢现代艺术，尤其是意大利艺术家的雕塑。从这个变化可以看出，女士已学会欣赏现代雕塑。选项D是个干扰项，听力一开始男士认为现代雕塑很怪异，他并没有谈及现代艺术家。stand这里是"容忍，忍受"的意思，作此意讲时多用于否定句或疑问句，强调不喜欢。
