【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Jack, sit down and listen. This is important. We'll have to tackle the problems of exporting step by step. And the first move is to get an up-to-date picture of where we stand now. M: Why don't we just concentrate on expanding here at home? W: Of course, we should hold on to our position here. But you must admit the market here is limited. M: Yes, but it's safe. The government keeps out foreigners with import controls, though I must admit I feel sure we could hold our own against foreign bikes. W: I agree. That's why I'm suggesting exporting, because I feel we can compete with the best of them. M: What you are really saying is that we'd make more profit by selling bikes abroad, where we have a cost advantage and can charge higher prices. W: Exactly. M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. will push up our costs and we could end up no better off, maybe worse off. W: OK. Now there are extra costs involved. But if we do it right, they can be built into the price of the bike and we can still be competitive. M: How sure are you about our chances of success in the foreign market? W: Well, that's the sticky one. It's going to need a lot of research, I'm hoping to get your help. Well, come on, Jack. Is it worth it, or not? M: There'll be a lot of problems. W: Nothing we can't handle. M: Um...I'm not that hopeful. But, yes, I think we should go ahead with a feasibility study. W: Marvelous, Jack. I was hoping you'd be on my side. What does the woman intend to do? 在对话一开始,女士就对男士说,他们必须一步步地处理出口的问题,而第一步就是弄明白他们当前的处境。男士问为什么不仅仅专注于开拓国内市场,女士回答说当然必须保持他们在国内的市场地位,但是国内市场是有限的。由此可知,女士希望能够拓展国外市场的业务,四个选项中只有C项符合此意,故为正确答案,同时也可排除D项。A、B两项对话中均未提及,都可排除。
