A
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: You're going to wear out the computer's keyboard! W: Oh, hi. M: Do you have any idea what time it is? W: About ten or ten-thirty? M: It's nearly midnight. W: Really? I didn't know it was so late. M: Don't you have an early class to teach tomorrow morning? W: Yes, at seven o'clock. My commuter class, the students who go to work right after their lesson. M: Then you ought to go to bed. What are you writing, anyway? W: An article I hope I can sell. M: Oh, another of your newspaper pieces? What's this one about? W: Do you remember the trip I took last month? M: The one up to the Amazon? W: Well, that's what I'm writing about—the new highway and the changes it's making in the Amazon valley. M: It should be interesting. W: It is. I guess that's why I forgot all about the time. M: How many articles have you sold now? W: About a dozen so far. M: What kind of newspapers buy them? W: The papers that carry a lot of foreign news. They usually appear in the big Sunday editions where they need a lot of background stories to help fill up the space between the ads. M: Is there any future in it? W: I hope so. There's a chance I may sell this article to a news service. M: Then your story would be published in several papers, wouldn't it? W: That's the idea. And I might even be able to do other stories on a regular basis. M: That would be great. What is the woman's occupation? 对话中男士问女士“你明天一早没有课要教吗?”女士回答“有，早上七点，一堂走读班的课，学生上完课后还要去工作”。由此可知，女士是一位老师。对话首句说到了computer's keyboard，但女士只是用电脑工作，而非D项“打字员”。B项“记者”和C项“编辑”都是借女士后来所说的写文章卖给报社所设置的陷阱，看似相关，实则不同，更非女士的本职工作。
