M: Well, [3]I left school after I'd done my A-levels.
W: What subjects did you take?
M: French, German and Art.
W: Art?
M: Well, I really wanted to study Art. But a friend of my father's offered me a job--he's an accountant in the city.

W: Right. What do you do in your spare time?
M: I like jazz and folk music; I go to the theater occasionally and act a bit myself. I read quite a lot, and I've done a bit of photography. Also, I've traveled a lot--hitch-hiked all over Europe.

[解析] 女士一开始便要求男士讲讲他一直在做什么工作,接着针对男士的情况提了很多问题,最后说到她已经了解了男士的背景,由此可知他们在进行interview,因此选项B正确。
[点睛] 主旨大意题。问题询问两个谈话人在做什么,此类题听音时需从整段内容来把握主题,找到了主题也就找到了答案。对话中可以听到女士的大部分话语都是在提问,而男士始终在回答相关问题,由此可先排除选项A和C。女士的提问涉及男士的工作、教育、家庭、生活等方面,选项D只提到家庭背景,表述不够全面。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 从对话中可以了解男士所从事的会计工作是父亲的朋友介绍他做的,女士问道:“在你的申请书中,你说你只在那家公司做了9个月的会计,为什么?”由此可知他已经辞职,接着男士又提到这让父亲感到失望,因为他父亲也是个会计,因此可知答案为B。
[点睛] 事实细节题。男士虽然说自己不喜欢会计这份工作,但并没有提到自己干得好不好,因此选项A不对;选项C和D都没有提到。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 对话中女士问男士是否有兄弟姐妹,男士的回答很明确:“有两个brother,都在上学,一个11岁,一个15岁,后者今年要参加O-level考试。”而从对话开头可得知男士已经left school,而且已经工作了,所以他肯定是家里的老大,选项B正确。
[点睛] 推理判断题。选项A和D在对话中都没有提到,选项C错误。
