【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Now, could you tell me where the idea for the business first came from? M: Well, the original shop was opened by a retired printer by the name of Gruby. Mr. Gruby being left-handed himself, thought of the idea to try to promote a few products for left-handers. W: And how did he then go about actually setting up the business? M: Well, he looked for any left-handed products that might already be on the market which were very few, and then contacted the manufactures with the idea of having products produced for him, mainly in the scissors range to start with. W: Right. So you do commission some part of your stock. M: Yes, very much so. About 75 percent of our stock is specially made for us. W: And the rest of it? M: Hmm, the rest of it now, some 25, 30 years after Mr. Gruby's initial efforts, there are more left-handed products actually on the market. Manufactures are now beginning to see that there is a market for left-handed products. W: And what's the range of your stock? M: The range consists of a variety of scissors from children scissors to scissors for tailors, hairdressers etc. We also have a large range of kitchen ware. W: What's the competition like? Do you have quite a lot of competition? M: There are other people in the business now in specialists, but only as mail-order outlets. But we have a shop here in central London plus a mail-order outlet. And we are without any doubt the largest supplier of the left-handed items. What kind of business is the man engaged in? 从这三个问题的选项可以推断对话是关于某种商业行为。本题的答案贯穿整个听力对话。听力对话一开始，就提Mr. Gruby想为左撇子的人提供商品服务；对话最后强调说自己是左撇子用品的最大供应商。由此可以判断B为正确答案。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] What does the man say about his stock of products? 选项是关于商品的特点。女士接下来问及男士目前的产品，男士回答说：大约75%的商品都是特意为他们而做。所以D为正确答案。选项B为混淆项，男士只是提及自己也经营厨房用品，但并没有强调自己的厨房用品设计独特。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] What does the man say about other people in his line of business? 选项是关于经营方式的，其中outlet意为“批发商店”。对话最后讲到经营模式，男士说：他们在伦敦市中心有一家店，同时也有邮购批发商店，是左撇子用品最大的经销商。由此可以推断B、C、D都不符合听力原文。听力最后还讲到经营范围，是各种各样的剪刀，由此可推断A为正确答案。
