【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
   W: Hey, Henry, how's everything going, and what's with the flowers?
   M: They're for my wife.
   W: Oh, a wedding anniversary or something?
   M: To tell the truth, it couldn't be worse. You see, I have to pick my wife up from the airport this evening, but while she was gone, there were a few minor mishaps.
   W: Oh really? What happened?
   M: Well, I had some of the guys over Friday night to watch a basketball game on TV, but one of them got all excited, and started horsing around, waving his arms, and he accidentally knocked over my wife's 250-year-old Chinese porcelain vase given to her by her grandmother, and broke it beyond repair.
   W: Oh no! You're in hot water now.
   M: If it had only been that.
   W: Oh, there's more?
   M: Yeah, you see, the water from the vase spilled all over the manuscript of a book my wife has been writing for the past two years. It blurred the ink over many of the pages.
   W: Oh no!
   M: And so one of the guys had the bright idea of drying the pages by the fire while we watched, uh, the rest of game, but a spark from the fire must have blown out and burned the manuscript to a crisp.
   W: Ah, so I get it now. You're buying the flowers for her as a part of some kind of peace offering, right?
   M: No, not at all. They're for my funeral.
   What was Henry doing Friday night when his problems started?
选项讲的是男士当时在于什么。听到女士问“哦，是吗?发生什么事了?”时，就该预测到后面讲的是事情的经过。男士随即说道，“我有几个朋友周五晚上过来看篮球赛。”所以选A。男士将要去机场接妻子，而不是B；C中的barbeque在录音中未提及；对话中出现过game，但它是basketball game的省略表达，D利用game进行语音干扰。
