W: There’s is an element there about competition though, isn’t there? Because British railways are a nationalised industry, there’s only one railway system in the country. If you don’t like a particular can of baked beans, you can go and buy another, but if you don’t like a particular railway, you can’t go and use another.
M: Some people who write to me say this. They say that if you didn’t have a monopoly, you wouldn’t be able to do the things you do. Well, I don’t think we do anything deliberately to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalised.
W: Do you think that is a good thing? Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think, to be nationalised?
M: Oh, I think so, yes. Because in general, modes of transport are all around. Let’s face the fact. The car arrived. The car is here to stay. There is no question about that.
W: So what are you’re saying then is that if the railways hadn’t been nationalised, they would simply have disappeared?
M: Oh, I think they would have. They’re disappearing fast in America. Er, the French railways lose 1 billion pounds a year, the German railways, 2 billion pounds a year. But you see, those governments are prepared to pour money into the transport system to keep it going.
W: So in a sense, you cope between two extremes. On the one hand, you’re trying not to lose too much money. And on the other hand, you’ve got to provide the best service.
M: Yes, you’re right.
1. What does the woman say about British railways?
2. What do some people who write to the man complain about?
3. What does the man say threatens the existence of railways?
4. What does the man say about railways in other countries?
选项
A、The frequent train delays.
B、The food sold on the trains.
C、The monopoly of British Railways.
D、The high train ticket fares.
答案
C
解析
从选项预测本题与铁路服务相关。男士说有些人给他写信说,如果不是因为垄断,垄断企业不可能做现在做的这些事情,故选C。即使没有听清全部内容,但只要听到monopoly便可选对答案。因为其他选项所说的火车晚点、车上的食物质量与票价等问题,在对话中均未提及。
