M: Dr. Thomas? This is Keet Bradley from the Daily News. I’d like to ask you some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.
W: I’d be happy to help you. What would you like to know?
M: First of all, how is the standard weight used?
W: Well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. We are a government agency, the department of weights and measures. It’s our responsibility to see that all the scales measure a kilogram accurately so this is the way we use to adjust the scales.
M: How did you check the scales before?
W: We have an old standard weight that we used to use. It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous. It absorbed too much moisture.
M: Oh. So when the weather was humid it weighed more and when it was dry it weighed less.
W: Exactly. And that variation can affect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal.
M: How much did it cost?
W: About 45,000 dollars.
M: 45,000 dollars? For one kilogram weight? That’s more expensive than gold. Is it really worth that much?
W: I’m sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales so that when they buy and sell their products there is one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.
选项
A、It is a small amount to pay for so much precious metal.
B、It is difficult to judge the value of such an object.
C、It is reasonable for an object with such an important function.
D、It is too high for such a light weight.
答案
C
解析
推理题。这里,问题问Dr. Thomas可能怎样看待new weight的成本。对话中,Dr. Thomas并没有直接说the cost is good or bad。但我们却可以通过前后两句推出他认为“it is worthwhile”,即一问一答“Is it really worth that much?”“I’m sore it is.”。
