问题 Why does the writer suggest that you should do the work yourself? [br]  
The lights have fused, the cooker is not working properly and you have just had an electric shock. You may need an electrician. But before you decide to have the house rewired, stop for a moment and think how much you could save by doing the work yourself. Nor knowing how to do it is no longer an excuse when there are a hundred and one books, magazines and manuals on the subject. It is not difficult to find the right tools and materials nowadays, with at least one D.I.Y. shop in every town.
    The do-it-yourself shop is a curious establishment. In it you can find anything from the tiniest screw to a self-assembly greenhouse. There is paint, glue, oil and wire for all purposes. There are tiles, selves, carpets and pipes of all shapes and sizes. You can even buy a complete bathroom suite in the larger self-service stores.
    Today there is much more leisure time and, in many cases, much less money available. Do-it-yourself has become a money-saving hobby. It is no wonder that fewer tradesmen make a living from private homes. Pipes can be joined together by pushing, paint that can be rolled on that doesn’t drip, and holes can be drilled at the press of a button. Anyone can do it! Well, almost!

选项 A、Do it yourself.
B、Do-it-yourself.
C、Decorate it yourself.
D、Decorate-it-yourself.

答案 B

解析 细节题。录音出现D.I.Y一词后,紧接着出现了do-it-yourself的字眼,在录音后段也出现了第二次,出现的两次全称可将包含decorate的C和D项排除,并且可确定D.I.Y中的D代表do。A和B的区别无法在听音时判断,但根据原文出现过“the do-it-yourself shop”,可知do一it-yourself作为修饰shop的成分,其正确写法应该是词与词之间有连接线,构成一个形容词,因此B项正确。
