单项选择题
Which of the following best describes the relationship between the two men
A．Smith gives Brown money.
B．Smith is faithful to Brown.
C．Brown’s noble character makes him faithful to Smith.
D．Brown is faithful to Smith because the latter often praises him.
答案
参考答案：A
解析：[听力原文]Of course, Brown’s allegiance to Smith probably owes more to funds than to compliments.
[分析]： 语义理解题。 原句意思是“Brown对Smith的效忠更是受资金的驱动而非出于对他的敬意。”由此可见，选项A“Smith给Brown金钱”与原文意思相符，因此该项为正确答案。[解题关键] 理解句中比较级的用法。
