单选题 What does Saffron want to be in the future?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Saffron, you're leaving school soon, aren't you? F: Yes, my A-levels will start next week, but I'm not too bothered about the results, because when I leave school, I'm going to concentrate on my music career. I'm lead singer in a band and I don't need any qualifications to be a pop star. I see my future very clearly—I'm going to be incredibly famous and fabulously rich. M: So you've already got a contract then? F: Er, no, not as such. Actually, we haven't got a manager yet, but the minute I've taken my last exam, I'm going to find a really good one. M: So, do you intend to continue living at home? F: No way. I'll have moved to London just as soon as I've left school. London's where it all happens in the music industry. M: Do you think you'll be able to live off your music right from the start? F: Well, if we don't make it straight away we might have to get part-time jobs for a few months or something. I know it's going to be hard at first, but I bet you, by this time next year, we'll have had a record in the charts. M: And where do you see yourself in five years from now? F: In five years from now, I'll be staying in posh hotels and won't be able to walk down the street without being recognized. In fact, I'll give you my autograph now if you like—it'll be worth a fortune in a few years' time! 对话中Saffron表示自己毕业后会“concentrate on my music career”,畅想自己将来会成为乐队主唱,并提到“I don't need any qualifications to be a pop star”,可知Saffron将来想成为一名流行音乐歌星。
