Question 8 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.

8. What does the man want to do? （男士想做什么？）

解析：A。录音开头男士就问女士吉米最近是否来过，并告诉女士自己和朋友借给吉米钱，但是从那以后就再也没有他的消息了，由此可知男士想要知道吉米的下落，故A项正确。

错项排除：B、C、D三项利用录音中出现的lent him some money、friends和asking进行干扰，但录音中说的是男士和他的朋友（friends）借给吉米钱（lent him some money），以及有人来找过吉米（asking for Jimmy），故B、C、D三项均可排除。
