A、Italy. B、Portugal. C、Spain. D、Costa Rica. C对话开头女士说，今年夏天她打算带家人去西班牙玩，故C正确。

W: John, I want to ask if you know anything about hotels on the Costa Brava.
M: Why? No, I’m afraid I can’t be very much help to you there.
W: Well, it’s .just that we’ve been thinking of taking the family to Spain this summer and at this rather late stage we’re trying to organize ourselves a suitable hotel. But I thought that you’d been to the Costa Brava.
M: It’s certainly a bit late. But have you looked at the ads?
W: Well, yes. As a matter of fact, I was reading one ad only this morning in the Sunday paper which sounded marvelous.
M: For a hotel?
W: Yes. Just outside Barcelona. It said that this hotel was right on the beach, and that’s essential as far as we’re concerned.
M: I know just how it is.
W: And all the rooms have balconies facing the sea and overlooking the beach.
M: Expensive?
W: No. That was the remarkable thing about it. You know, even allowing for a bit of exaggeration in the ad, it seemed to have a lot to offer.
M: Well, you never know.
W: Well, yes, so what would you say?
M: Of course. The only way to find out for certain is to go and try it. And that’s taking rather a risk.
