【答案解析】[解析] 1-3
W: First of all, [1]I'd like you to tell me a bit about what you've been doing.
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: I see. [2]In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?
M: Well, to be quite honest, I didn't like it--so I got a place at the Art College a year ago.
W: Did your father mind?
M: Well, [2]he was rather disappointed at first. He's an accountant too, you see.
W: Have you any brothers or sisters?
M: [3]Two brothers, both at school. One's eleven, the other's fifteen--taking his O-levels this year.
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.
W: Very interesting, Mr. Plant. [11I think that's all I wanted to ask about your background.
[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。
