A linguist is a always listening, never off-duty. I invited a group of friends round to my house telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take only a few minutes. Thus, on one evening, three people turned up at my house and were shown into my front room. When they saw the room they were a bit alarmed, for it was laid out as a studio. In front of each easy chair there was a microphone at head height, with wires leading to a tape recorder in the middle of the floor. They sat down, and I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from 1 to 20. Then we could relax and have a drink.
I turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn counted from 1 to 20 in their best accents. When it was over, I turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks. For the rest of the evening there was general jolly conversation spoilt only by the fact that I had to take a telephone call in another room, which unfortunately lasted some time.
As a matter of fact, the microphones were not connected to the tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one in the kitchen. The participants, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality. And my lengthy absence meant that I was able to obtain as natural a piece of conversation as it would be possible to find.
Of course, I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the event was over, and gave them the option of destroying the tape. But none of them wanted to.
The writer asked his friends to count from one to twenty because______.
选项
A、he wanted to record how they pronounced numbers
B、he had to check that his tape-recorder was working
C、he wanted them to think that was all he wanted to record
D、he wanted to discover who had the best pronunciation
答案
C
解析
本题是推断题。B项和D项文章没有提及;从文末可以看出,语言学家让朋友开始从1数到20仅仅是个小策略,后面的放松的谈话才是他真正想要的,所以A也不对。
