40、学习艺术是因为我父亲的一个朋友给我提供了一个职位，他是伦敦的一个会计师。 ”It didnt turn out like that中的 that指前一句中的 study Art。故 B正确。由选项可知，本题应当问 “他 ”有什么想法、做了什么事，或想要做什么事。核心词是 study Art， offer a job， accounting firm，interesting。听到对话中的 I really wanted to study Art，可排除 A，并由随后的否定结构和 because引导的内容得到正确答案。 because处出题。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析
41、】 男士提到他虽然不演奏乐曲，但是他经常听音乐会，故 B正确。frequently是 quite a lot of的另一种表达。由动词的现在分词选项可知，本题问动作。 A错在使用了 a lot of，而原文说到拍照片时是说 abit of； C中的 play与原文说的 I dont play不符； D是地点错误，原文是说欧洲而不是非洲。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 16 【听力原文】 Saving money is a first step toward wealth.
