问题 What do we learn about the audience at the meeting?
As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers. Everyone arrived on time, and Alex’s presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company’s plans. "I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market," he began, "because of the quality of the people in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example." When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. "Things were going so well until the end", Alex said disappointedly. "Obviously, I said the wrong thing." "Yes", the district manager replied. "Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company’s growth. They don’t care at all about political correctness. But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as ’he’ in your speech. "

选项 A、Some of them were political-minded.
B、Fifty percent of them were female.
C、One third of them were senior managers.
D、Most of them were rather conservative.

答案 B

解析 细节题。本题询问会议听众的信息。文章后面说到Half of our managers are women.(区域经理中的一半都是女性。)而参加会议的听众就是那些district managers,由此可判断,会议的听众有一半是女性,所以B项符合题意。A是说有些人有政治意识;C是说三分之一是高级管理人员;D是说大部分人比较保守,文中均未提及。因此B是正确答案。
