听力原文

        And finally, in tonight’s news, a nine-year-old boy named Joe, told not to draw in class, lands a job decorating a restaurant with his drawings. Rather than shutting down the habit of drawing in his school’s workbook, (1) [Joe’s parents decided to encourage his creativity by sending their son to an after-school art class.] His teacher recognized Joe’s talent and posted all his work online which led to something pretty wonderful. (2) [A restaurant named Number 4 in Newcastle contacted Joe’s teacher to ask if the nine-year-old could come and decorate its dining room with his drawings.] Every day after school, Joe’s dad drives him to the restaurant so he can put his ideas straight on the wall. Once he’s all done, the work will remain there permanently. Joe’s dad said, “Joe is a really talented little boy. He’s excellent at school. He’s great at football, but drawing is definitely what he is most passionate about.”

1. What did Joe’s parents decide to do?  （乔的父母决定做什么？） 

解析：B。录音开头提到，乔的父母决定送儿子去上课外美术班，以此来鼓励他发展自己的创造力。B项与此表述一致，其中的an after-school art class为原词复现，故为正确答案。

错项排除：A项利用录音后半部分出现的Newcastle和football设置干扰，但这些与乔父母的决定无关，属于细节拼凑，故错误。C项利用录音中的shutting down...drawing in his school’s workbook设置干扰，但录音里的Rather than表示乔的父母并没有这样做，C项与录音内容相悖，故错误。将乔的画作发到网上的是他的老师，而不是他的父母，故D项错误。
