W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.
M: Yes, but I’m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?
W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant. But steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it’s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?
M: Yes, thanks.
W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there’s a lot of unemployment as well as geographical problems in the region.
M: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?
W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts, so there used to be transport problems. Now, though, there are new train links and better roads. But it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected. Is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we’ll see this in more detail, so we’ll come back to this question, OK?
M: OK, right.
W: So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and the level of training and education. In general, it’s very good and improving.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What does the woman say about steel-related manufacturing in the region?
24. What problem hinders the region’s development?
25. What will the speakers discuss later?

选项 A、Shortage of funding.
B、Lack of resources.
C、Transport problems.
D、Poor management.

答案 C

解析 女士说该地区存在地理问题(geographical problems),并对此进行了详细解释:该地区多山,所以过去就存在交通运输困难(transport problems),即使现在有了新的火车线路和更好的道路,但是一些内陆小城镇还是交通不畅,由此可知,运输问题阻碍了该地区的发展,故答案为[C]。对话中因果关系处常设题,听音时要留意出现because,so,result,lead to等词语的地方。
