Question 11 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

听力原文

M: Has Jimmy been coming in lately?

W: No, I haven’t seen him around. Why? Has he been causing any trouble?

M: Not that I know of. (8) [But I need to see him, because my friends and I lent him some money last month. We haven’t heard from him since.] I heard he comes here a lot, so I thought I’d come in and check with you.

W: Well, that’s funny. (9) [Some other fellow came in asking for Jimmy just yesterday, a real, nervous, pushy type of fellow, saying he needed Jimmy for some study project they were working on.] But I can’t quite remember what it was all about. Is this a lot of money we’re talking about here?

M: No, just 60 pounds between the three of us, but still a bit too much to just let go. (10) [He told us he’d got into an accident.] Nothing serious, mind you, but he damaged someone’s car and wanted to get some money together to make up for the damage he’d caused.

W: Hmm, isn’t that sort of thing usually covered by insurance? And then, if he still wanted to give money as some sort of apology or something, he probably shouldn’t have to go around borrowing it from people.

M: You think Jimmy’s just making it all up? See, I did think it was a bit weird for him to be asking for money for that sort of thing, and his story was a bit vague to begin with. (11) [But I thought maybe he doesn’t want his parents to know about what happened.] So he’d rather come to us and keep things quiet. Anyway, Jimmy is a good guy. So we didn’t make a fuss about it.

11. Why did Jimmy borrow money according to the man?（根据男士所说，吉米为什么借钱？）

解析：D。录音中男士表示，也许吉米不想让父母知道发生了什么。D项中的wanted to conceal something from his parents是对录音中doesn’t want his parents to know about what happened的同义转述，故D项正确。

错项排除：A项在录音中未提及，故排除。录音中提到60英镑指的是男士和他的朋友们借给吉米的钱数，并非吉米丢失了60英镑的钱，故B项错误。C项利用录音中出现的60 pounds和his parents，主观臆断借钱是为母亲买礼物，故排除。
