Why did Tom go to live in the country?
Interviewer: What made you take off to the country in the first place, Tom?
Tom: Well, I suppose anyone who moves to the country wants their life to be different in some way. I mean, if you have always lived in a city, something must happen to make you want to move. In my case, (4[B])I just couldn’t face going back into an office again when it came to looking for a new job.
Interviewer: So you began thinking about the country?
Tom: No, at first I just thought about getting a different kind of work, social work with kids or old people.
Interviewer: And what happened? Why didn’t you?
Tom: I haven’t got any right diplomas, and it would have taken me two years to be qualified. I was not going back to formal education again.
Interviewer: So where did you decide to move?
Tom: I went right to Shropshire. (6[C]) The first problem though was how I could make a living — there are fewer jobs in the country, so I decided to start up on my own.
Interviewer: That’s ambitious. How did you start, had you got any skills?
Tom: (7[D])I’d always had a garden and grown some vegetables and flowers, (5[B]) so I thought
of a small holding, a kind of farm. But when I looked at the price, I changed my mind.
Interviewer: Ok, a farm’s out, so what next?
Tom: I settled on a nursery and bought my way into a partnership...
Interviewer: Well, ladies and gentlemen, don’t go away — we are coming back to Tom’s story after the advertisements.
选项
A、He moved to another country.
B、He did not buy a small holding.
C、He studied for a social diploma for two years.
D、He did not have formal education.
答案
B
解析
细节题。几个选项中,只有B 是符合事实的,因为对话中说:看了价格后,I changed my mind,就是没有买小农场。至于选项A,没有任何信息表明他出国了,county这里是乡下的意思;而C和D 都与对话中的这一句冲突:我没有适当的毕业文凭,需要等两年才能拿到,而我不想再接受正规教育。
