W: Hello, Gary. How’re you?
M: Fine! And you?
W: Can’t complain. Did you have time to look at my proposal?
M: No, not really. Can we go over it now?
W: Sure. I’ve been trying to come up with some new production and advertising strategies. (19) First of all, if we want to stay competitive, we need to modernize our factory. New equipment should have been installed long ago. (20)
M: How much will that cost?
W: We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.
M: OK. We’ll have to discuss these costs with finance.
W: We should also consider human resources. I’ve been talking to personnel as well as our staff at the factory.
M: And what’s the picture?
W: We’ll probably have to hire a couple of engineers to help us modernize the factory. (21)
M: What about advertising?
W: Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.
M: TV? Isn’t that a bit too expensive for us? What’s wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?
W: Quite frankly, it’s just not enough anymore. (22) We need to be more aggressive in order to keep ahead of our competitors.
M: Will we be able to afford all this?
W: I’ll look into it, but I think higher costs will be justified. These investments will result in higher profits for our company.
M: We’ll have to look at the figures more closely. Have finance draw up a budget for these investments.
W: All right. I’ll see to it.
19. What are the two speakers talking about?
20. What does the woman say about the equipment of their factory?
21. What does the woman suggest about human resources?
22. Why does the woman suggest advertising on TV?

选项 A、Their competitors have long been advertising on TV.
B、TV commercials are less expensive.
C、Advertising in newspapers alone is not sufficient.
D、TV commercials attract more investments.

答案 C

解析 因果关系题。浏览选项可知此题是关于advertising on TV。对话中提到advertising in newspapers is just not enough anymore,由于not enough意即not sufficient,故答案选C。选项D指的是电视广告能吸引更多投资,而对话中的原意是电视广告会导致工厂投入的增大,因此D项不对。
