Question 8 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

听力原文：

M: (8) That was my last economics lecture of the week, and here’s the weekend again.

W: What are you up to tonight? I was just wondering if we could try out the new restaurant on Charles Street, then go on to Queen Victoria for a drink.

M: (9) Sorry, I’m heading home this weekend for my brother’s 18th birthday.

W: Oh, that’s great.

M: All my relatives are gonna be there, as well as my brother’s horrible friends, of course. (10) Listen, why don’t you come along? Mom would be absolutely delighted to see you again. She’s always asking after you.

W: Yes, I’d love to see her too.

M: (10) So, please, do come. It’ll be great. And besides, with Jonathan’s wild game to contend with, I’d really welcome an ally.

W: That sounds tempting, but I won’t be ready till 5:00, as I’ve got my statistics seminar now. What time are you heading off?

M: Well. I was going to leave right away. However, I can hang around for you if you like. It just means that I’ll need to change my ticket.

W: But would that be too much trouble for you?

M: (11) No, not at all. I’ll go to the station first, and see if I can get tickets for us on the 6:30 train. Then, you can join me there. I’ll text you when it’s done.

W: Brilliant. Are you absolutely positive it’s okay? I wouldn’t want to impose.

M: Don’t worry. You’re most welcome to join our party. And, as I always say, the more the merrier.

W: Look, I’d better go or I’ll be late. So, I’ll meet you down at the station around 6:00?

M: Fine. See you later.

8. What has the man just done?

解析：A。本题为细节题。问题为：男士刚做完什么？出题点位置在对话的开头。根据原文“M: That was my last economics lecture of the week”，可知男士刚参加完本周最后一次经济学讲座（economics lecture），A选项“Attended an economics lecture.”与原文信息一致。
