M: Hello, and welcome to our program "Working Abroad". Our guest this evening is a Londoner who lives and works in Italy. Her name’s Susan Hill. Susan, welcome to the program. You live in Florence. How long have you been living there?
W: Since 1982. But when I went there in 1982, I planned to stay for only 6 months.
M: Why did you change your mind?
W: Well, I’m a designer. I design leather goods, mainly shoes and handbags. Soon after I arrived in Florence, I got a job with one of Italy’s top fashion houses, Ferregamo. So, I decided to stay.
M: How lucky! Do you still work for Ferregamo?
W: No, I’ve been a freelance designer for quite a long time now. Since 1988, in fact.
M: So does that mean you design for several different companies now?
W: Yes, that’s right. I’ve designed many fashion items for a number of Italian companies, and in the last four years, I’ve also been designing for the British company Burberrys.
M: What have you been designing for them?
W: Mostly handbags and small leather goods.
M: Has the fashion industry in Italy changed since 1982?
W: Oh, yes. It’s become a lot more competitive, because the quality of products from other countries has improved a lot. But Italian quality and design is still world-famous.
M: And do you ever think of returning to live in England?
W: No, not really. Working in Italy is more interesting. I also love the Mediterranean sun and the Italian life style.
M: Well, thank you for talking to us, Susan.
W: It was a pleasure.
1. Where does this talk most probably take place?
2. What was the woman’s original plan when she went to Florence?
3. What has the woman been doing for a living since 1988?
4. What do we learn about the change in Italy’s fashion industry?
选项
A、It has seen a steady decline in its profits.
B、It has become much more competitive.
C、It has lost many customers to foreign companies.
D、It has attracted a lot more designers from abroad.
答案
B
解析
选项均以it作主语,对it的描述使用了decline,competitive,lost customers,attracted designers等,估计是指某个“行业”。要注意听对话中包含的关键词。男士问:“1982年以来意大利的时装业有什么变化吗?”女士回答说:“当然有变化,现在竞争更激烈了。”因此B正确,B中的competitive是原词再现。长对话题中,有时提问方式与对话中的问题一样,若注意听相应的回答,即可轻松解题。
