Question 13 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

​​​​​​​听力原文

W: (12) [Wow, congratulations, Simon! The place looks absolutely amazing.]

M: Really? You think so? 

W: Of course. I love it! It looks like you had a professional interior designer. But you didn’t, did you?

M: No. I did it all by myself with a little help from my brother Greg. He’s actually in the construction business, which was really helpful.

W: (12) [Well, honestly, I’m impressed.] I know I could probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something, but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn’t know where to start.

M: (13) [Well, for a while now, I’ve been regularly buying home design magazines. Every now and then, I’d saved a picture I liked.] Believe it or not, I had a full notebook of magazine pages. Since my overall style was quite minimal, I thought and hoped a whole renovation wouldn’t be too difficult. And sure enough, with Greg’s help, it was very achievable.

W: Was it very expensive? I have imagined a project like this could be.

M: (14) [Actually, it was surprisingly affordable.] I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture and put that extra money towards the new material. Greg was also able to get some discount materials from a recent project he was working on as well.

W: Great! If you don’t mind, I’d like to pick your brain a bit more. Jonathan and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room, not the whole house, not yet anyway. (15) [And we’d love to get some inspiration from your experience. ]Are you free to come over for a coffee early next week?

13. Where did the man get his ideas for the project?

解析：B。录音中间部分女士问男士，他的装修设计灵感是从哪里来的，男士说他一直在定期购买家居设计杂志，还会把喜欢的照片保存下来。由此可知，男士的装修灵感是从家居设计杂志中得来的，home design magazines为原词复现，故正确答案为B。

错项排除：录音开头男士提到了他的兄弟格雷格，但他说的是他自己在装修房子的时候格雷格给他提供了一些帮助，并没有说装修灵感是从格雷格那里获得的，故A项错误。录音开头男士提到了construction business，但说的是他的兄弟格雷格在建筑行业工作，与construction businessman毫无关联，故C项错误。录音开头女士提到了a professional interior designer，但那是女士夸赞男士的装修像是请了专业的室内设计师，并不是说男士的装修灵感是从专业室内设计师那里得来的，故D项错误。
