【答案解析】[听力原文] 18-21 W: Good morning, Steven. M: Jane, please come in and sit down. W: I want to talk to you about something that's up. M: I hope everything is all right. Is there any trouble? W: No, no, nothing at all. Everything has been going very well. M: That's good. W: This is something quite different. M: I'll be glad to help you. Is there anything I can do? W: Some advice, Steven. I have been offered a new job. M: A new job? W: As a matter of fact, it isn't the bank in New York. M: Is the offer from another bank or an insurance company? W: It's from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development in Washington. M: You mean the World Bank? W: That's right. And it's really very unexpected, I must say. I've had business with them but I've never suggested that I was interested in working for them. M: You've established a reputation in international banking circles. May I ask what kind of position they are offering you? W: A rather important one, as a matter of fact, deputy director of the International Finance Division. M: Isn't that the part that makes loans to private companies in the developing countries? W: Yes, it is. It's a job that certainly offers a chance for public service. M: It seems to me that it's a real honor for you. W: Yes, there is no doubt about that? but I've been with our bank for so many years. M: But it's an honor for our bank too—for the training and experience it's given you. W: Yes. I hope the bank will think of it that way too. 男士问道“Is there anything I can do?”,女士回答“Some advice, Steven. I have been offered a new job.”,也就是说,女士刚得到一份新工作,想寻求男士的建议,因此正确答案为[B]。
