W: Jack, sit down and listen. This is important. We’ll have to tackle the problems of exporting step by step. And the first move is to get an up-to-date picture of where we stand now.
M: Why don’t we just concentrate on expanding here at home?
W: Of course, we should hold on to our position here. But you must admit the market here is limited.
M: Yes, but it’s safe. The government keeps out foreigners with import controls, though 1 must admit I feel sure we could hold our own against foreig bikes.
W: I agree. That’s why I’m suggesting exporting, because I feel we can compete with the best of them.
M: What you are really saying is that we’d make more profit by selling bikes abroad, where we have a cost advantage and can charge higher prices.
W: Exactly.
M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. will push up our costs and we could end up no better off, maybe worse off.
W: OK. Now there are extra costs involved. But if we do it right, they can be built into the price of the bike and we can still be competitive.
M: How sure are you about our chances of success in the foreign market?
W: Well, that’s the sticky one. It’s going to need a lot of research. I’m hoping to get your help. Well, come on, Jack. Is it worth it, or not?
M: There’ll be a lot of problems.
W: Nothing we can’t handle.
M: Um…I’m not that hopeful. But, yes, I think we should go ahead with a feasibility study.
W: Marvelous, Jack. I was hoping you’d be on my side.

选项
A、Extra costs might eat up their profits abroad.
B、More workers will be needed to do packaging.
C、They might lose to foreign bike manufacturers.
D、It is very difficult to find suitable local agents.
答案
A
解析
在对话中,男士指出,女士的意思是通过往国外销售自行车可以赚取更多的利润,因为他们有成本优势,可以将价格定得更高。女士表示同意。但是男士接着又说,包装、运货、筹措资金等将会让他们的出口成本增加,最后的情况可能不会更好,甚至会更糟。也就是说,男士担心额外的成本增加会耗尽他们的产品在国外市场的销售利润,故A项正确。其他三项对话中均未提及,都可排除。
