19. What's the main purpose of the man's visit?
参考答案:
正确答案:C
解析:寒暄之后女士切入正题:问男士想如何进行磋商,男士回答时提及目前的合同即将到期,讨论新的合同,综合关键词得出的答案是C。
20. What can we learn about the relationship between the two speakers?
正确答案:A
解析:选项为他们之间的关系,根据前一题中提到过的男士所说“目前的合同即将到期”及后文明示的“过去几年合作很好”,得出答案为A。B错在first,C错在long-term(这是此行目的之一,不是现实)
21. What's the woman's principle in foreign trade based on?
正确答案:B
解析:答案是直接听到的原词。C中的daily necessities是对原文needed goods的误解。
22. What new practice has been adopted by the woman's company?
正确答案:D
解析:选项为某公司的做法。D中的accepts delayed payment是原文adopt payment by installments的同义表达。
