M: Hello, Jane.
W: Hello, Paul.
M: Please come in. I’m just getting ready to go home. Susan is expecting me for dinner. I want to be on time for a change.
W: Look, I’m terribly sorry to drop in at this time on Friday, Paul, but it is rather important.
M: That’s OK. What’s the problem?
W: Well, Paul, I won’t keep you long. You see there is a problem with the exchange rates. The Indian Rupee has taken a fall on the foreign exchange market. You see there has been a sharp increase in Indian’s balance of payment deficit.
M:I see. That’s serious, isn’t it?
W: Well, as you know, there have been reports of unrest India, and the prospects for the Rupee look pretty gloomy.
M: And that’s going to affect us, as if we didn’t have enough problems on our hands.
W: So I thought it would be wise to take out forward exchange cover to protect our position on the outstanding contracts.
M: Just a minute. Forward exchange cover, now what does that mean exactly?
W: Well, it means that JO Motors enters into a commitment to sell Indian Rupees at the present rate.
M: I see. And how will that benefit us?
W: Well, JO Motors won’t lose out if the Indian Rupee falls further.
M: What will it cost, Jane?
W: A small percentage, about 1% and that can be built into the price of the bike.
M: Well, I don’t suppose there is much choice. All right, Jane, let’s put it into action.
9. What do we learn about the man’s daily life?
10. Why did the woman come to see the man?
11. What makes the woman worry about the Indian Rupee?
选项 A、He shares some of the household duties.
B、He often goes back home late for dinner.
C、He cooks dinner for the family occasionally.
D、He dines out from time to time with friends.
答案 B
解析 四个选项均以He开头，且均使用了一般现在时，可以推测本题考查内容与男士的日常生活有关，由各选项A)“他分担一些家务职责”、B)“他经常回家很晚，赶不上吃晚饭”、C)“他偶尔会为家人做饭”和D)“他有时会与朋友外出就餐”可以看出，本题的重点是男士通常是怎样解决晚餐的。其中，A)与其他三个选项的内容有较大差异，可以提前排除。对话中男士与女士见面时，男士告诉女士他正要回家，Susan正在家里等他回去吃晚餐，他不能总像平日里那样老是赶不上吃晚餐。for a change表达的意思是“改变一下”，既然男士今天要按时回家与家人一起共进晚餐，也就可以推测出他大多数时候是不按时回家吃晚餐的。
