C
【答案解析】[解析] 19-22 W: What are you reading, Bill? M: It's this week's New Scientist, why? W: I was just wondering. It looks interesting. It is for real scientists or can ordinary people like me understand it? M: Oh, it is for anyone really. It usually has articles and stories about character affairs and about science as well as papers about a new development and research. I am reading about a new telephone that allows you to see the person you are speaking to as well as hear him. W: Oh, I've heard about it. Is it on the market yet? Can I buy one? M: No, not this one. But the company has made other models to try out on business. This one is special because it has color and the image is moving. W: That's interesting. M: You see the video photos that what they called were made in Japan. But they can only show a still, black and white image. So this video phone is much better than that. Mind you and I'm not sure I want one, would you? W: Well, no. I don't think I would. I bet it costs a lot of money. Does it say how much it costs? M: Yes, the early black and white ones cost several hundred pounds, but the one the story is about costs several thousand pounds. W: Er. Why does anybody want one, do you think? M: Business organizations that need to frequently contact overseas organizations would want it. It is like a face-to-face conversation. So maybe a lot of overseas travel can be avoided. W: Yes, I suppose so. Q. 19. Which of the following details are NOT TRUE about the new device?
