Question 11 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

Conversation One

听力原文

M: How do you like your new flexible working arrangement? Do you enjoy working from home?

W: Yes and no. (8) [I find an isolation challenging at times.] Apart from my mother, not too many people I know have time for phone chats during working hours. I tried the library, but found I wasn’t really keen on working there.

M: No, neither would I. (9) [I find the library a bit too quiet. I’d lack inspiration or stimulation, which would be counterproductive to getting a lot of work done.] 

W: I find the same thing, so lately I’ve been going out to cafés occasionally. (10) [I love the noise, the people, the busyness of a café, the sense of being out in the world.] 

M: Coffee shops seem to have affectively become office spaces for so many people in this digital age, though I’m not sure how café owners feel about it—having so many people who go to their places to work rather than drink and eat.

W: Yes, some people seem to spend a lot of time there and not order much. (11) [The most annoying ones for café owners must surely be those, usually only two of them, who occupy a table for six with their laptops and paperwork.] 

M: They should sit at a table for two, not the table for six. Some obviously stay so long. They need to plug their laptops into a power outlet. I nearly tripped over someone’s computer electrical lead the other day in my local café.

W: It’s a double-edged sword. No doubt about that for a café owner. While remote workers help to keep the café full in quiet times, they can take up valuable table space in busy periods.

11. What is most annoying for café owners according to the woman?

解析：D。录音中女士说到，咖啡馆老板最讨厌的肯定是那些带着笔记本电脑和文件，两个人却占着一张六人桌的客人们（only two of them who occupy a table for six）。D项是对此内容的同义转述，故正确答案为D。

错项排除：录音中女士说到，有些人似乎在咖啡店里待了很长时间，点的东西却不多。但并没有说到这是咖啡店老板最讨厌的事情，故A项排除。B项利用录音中出现的laptops and paperwork作干扰，但录音中女士说的是咖啡店老板最讨厌那些带着笔记本电脑和文件还占用了大桌子的人，并不是所有带电脑和文件的人，故B项错误。C项利用录音末尾处出现的in quiet times和valuable table space作干扰，但录音中说的是，虽然远程办公的人们在客流稀少的时候（in quiet times）可以让咖啡馆坐满，但在繁忙的时候，他们却会占用宝贵的桌位（valuable table space）。也就是说，在客流稀少时人们占满咖啡店的座位对咖啡店老板来说是一件好事，并不是他们最讨厌的事，故C项错误。
