【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: I'd like to go to the States, but if I took the job there, I wouldn't get a very good salary. W: Really? I thought salaries were high there, but there would be some fringe benefits presumably. M: Oh, yes. It'd be stimulating and it has some advantages. W: What else do you have in mind? M: Well, there's a position in Portugal. W: How does it compare? M: It'd offer greater security, because it'd be on a homebase contract. W: And salary? M: Much better. I'll get an overseas allowance plus free accommodation from the firm. W: Presumably you'd be given moving expenses for the Portugal job? M: Yes, but just to complicate matters, there's a possibility of a post in Sao Paulo. W: That's Brazil, isn't it? M: Yes. I'd get promotion if I took a post there. W: I'd love to go to Brazil. M: But there are some disadvantages. I'd have to do a five-year term there. W: Personal problem surely? M: Well, not at the moment. But if there were a change in family circumstances, I'd be a long way from home. W: But if you're worried about distance, isn't that the same problem with the States? M: Yes, but in the States I'd be on an annual contract, so I could leave fairly quickly if I needed to. W: In Portugal? M: Well, that's almost next door, isn't it? I could visit home every few months if necessary. W: I can see you've got a difficult choice to make. M: Well, fortunately I don't have to make up my mind about any of them yet. In fact, I haven't even been called for an interview. What does the man say about the job in the States? 在对话一开始，男士就说他想去美国工作，但是那儿的工资水平不是很高。女士说她原以为美国的工资水平很高，又问那里是否应该有一些附加福利。男士给予了肯定回答，并说美国的工作具有激励性，有一些好处。由此可知，四个选项中只有B项与此意思一致，为正确答案，同时可排除A项。C项对话中未提及，D项是男士对葡萄牙的工作的描述，都可排除。
