42、 四个选项都是动名词短语，注意对话里的相关内容。 男士问女士， “这份工作是做什么的，是洗盘子吗 ?”女士说， “不是，是接电话 ”，也不是“做侍应生 ”，所以 D正确， D是录音中 answering the phone的同义替换，同时也排除了 B和 C项。 A项 “打电话 ”则刚好 是 “接电话 ”相反的动作。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项都以 Because开头，预测本题问原因。 男士说他不是 EU national“欧盟国的公民 ”，问女士是否需要提供工作许可证，女士说要的，所以 B正确，该项 European Union citizen和录音 EU
