【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 68-70
W: I don't understand. Last quarter, we updated all of our brochures and increased our advertising budget by 15%. And yet our sales aren't improving. What'sgoing on?
M: I'm just as confused as you are. But what's clear is that our current strategy isn't working. Maybe we Should conduct a customer survey to try to get a better ideaof our consumers' needs. Based on the results, we can form a new strategy.
W: Yes, that's a sensible plan. But I'm not sure our budget can cover the cost of a customer survey. Those things are expensive.

题目中的“problem(问题)”就是“麻烦”，是“负面”的东西。我们只要从对话内容中找出“什么出了问题”就OK了。对话的主题一般都会出现在开头部分，所以我们要注意听开头几句。女人的台词中有“yet our salesaren't improving”，即“销量”出了问题。(B)选项意为“公司业绩不好”，所以是正确答案。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】这道题问的是“(为了改善现状)男人提出了什么样的建议?”在对话中，男人提到“ourcurrent strategy isn't working．Maybe weshould conduct a customer survey”，也就是说应该多进行一些客户调查，即正确答案是(C)。其中的“market research(市场调查)”是对原文的词句进行的同义替换。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】这道题问的是“(对于男人的意见)女人说了什么?”，即女人是赞成还是反对男人的意见。由“But I'm not sure”中的“But”可以推断，女人对男人的意见持“否定的”态度。这道题的关键在于这句话后面的“Those things areexpensive”，其实说的就是成本太高了。因此正确答案是(D)。如果我们能意识到“costly(费钱)”是“expensive”的同义词替换就更好了。
