单选题 What can be learned from the telephone conversation you've just heard?

A、 Mr Alexander is wanted on the phone but he is out.
B、 Mr Johnson is wanted on the phone but he is out.
C、 Mr Alexander works for ABC Imports.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文]8-9
W: Good afternoon. ABC Imports. May I help you?
M: Yes, may I speak to Mr James Johnson, please?
W: I'm afraid Mr Johnson isn't available right now. Would you like to leave a message?
M: This is Richard Alexander with Star Electronics. It's very important that he returns my call this afternoon.
W: Does be have your office number and your mobile phone number?
M: I think so, but let me give them to you again.
W: Okay.
M: My office number is 714-555-2000; my cell phone number is 909-555-2308. He can reach me at my office number before 6 p.m. or anytime today on my mobile.
W: Very well, I'll give him your message as soon as he returns to the office.

由对话最初的两轮对话，特别是女士所用的May I help you这一常用的接待用语，及Mr Johnson isn't available两处可知女士应是接待员，而由男士所用的May I speak to...这一打电话时的常用语可知他是在找人接电话。由这两处即可推知答案为[B]
