19. What's the main purpose of the man's visit?
參考答案:
正確答案:C
解(jie)析(xi):寒(han)暄之(zhi)后女士切入正題:問男(nan)士想如(ru)何進行磋商,男(nan)士回答(da)時提及目前的(de)(de)合(he)同即將到期,討(tao)論(lun)新(xin)的(de)(de)合(he)同,綜合(he)關(guan)鍵詞得出的(de)(de)答(da)案(an)是C。
20. What can we learn about the relationship between the two speakers?
正確答案:A
解析:選項為他們之間的關系,根據前一(yi)題中提到過(guo)的男士所說“目(mu)前的合同即將到期”及(ji)后文明示的“過(guo)去(qu)幾年(nian)合作很好”,得出答案(an)為A。B錯(cuo)在first,C錯(cuo)在long-term(這是此行目(mu)的之一(yi),不是現實(shi))
21. What's the woman's principle in foreign trade based on?
正確答案:B
解析:答案是(shi)直接聽到的(de)原詞。C中的(de)daily necessities是(shi)對(dui)原文(wen)needed goods的(de)誤解。
22. What new practice has been adopted by the woman's company?
正確答案:D
解析:選項為某公司的做法。D中的accepts delayed payment是原文adopt payment by installments的同義表達。
