Why is the woman writing the letter?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】 [听力原文]22-25 Dear Sir, Last night I watched a Party
Political broadcast on television. It was on behalf of the present government
and in it the Prime Minister outlined the aims of the government. It made me
very angry. To be fair, their plans for the future of this
country are certainly interesting. They say they are going to build more day
nurseries for mothers who go out to work, they say they are going to build more
schools and increase the grants of university and college students. Then
they say they are going to reduce unemployment; improve the National Health
Service; cut the cost of dental treatment. And they say they intend to reduce
the level of personal taxation. In the same breath they say they are going to
cut inflation and thereby reduce the cost of living and help family budgets. Oh,
yes, I nearly forgot. They are going to spend millions of pounds on a nuclear
defense system to protect us from an enemy attack. But the
question I want to ask is: where are they going to get all the money to put
their ideas into practice? Well, I think 1 know the answer. The money is going
to come out of the taxpayers' pocket. That's fight. It's you and me who are
going to pay the bill. Sir, may I suggest the present state of
the national economy means these plans are not only unrealistic, they're
irresponsible and completely unbelievable.
Yours faithfully,
Jennifer Hudson
[解析] 女士在信的末尾写道：…these plans are not only
unrealistic， they're irresponsible and completely
unbelievable“(政府的)这些计划不仅不现实，而且不负责任，彻底地不可信”，因为政府要实现这些计划都要纳税人掏钱，因此她压抑不住心中的气愤才写这封信的。
