单选题 11. —Who are your main competitors?
—It depends on the region. There are a lot of local producers in Europe and we cannot compete with them onprice. However, ______.
—Well, thanks for your introduction. I'm really impressed.

A、 we have a reputation for low price
B、 high transport costs make it very unprofitable to do business
C、 you can compare prices of various shops and find the best deal
D、 we are well known in the market for high quality and reliability

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】 句意：“你们最大的竞争对手是谁?”“这要取决于地区了。我们在价格上与很多欧洲本地的制造商没法比，但高品质和可靠性是我们的市场优势。”根据上下文可知，在与竞争者对比时，说话人采取了先抑后扬的策略，介绍完自身价格上的劣势以后，用however表示转折，接下来应该谈到的是自身产品的优势，故D项符合。
