What was Mr Jones’s response to the public about the delay in opening the new bridge?
W: Mr Jones, I’m sure you’re aware that commuters in the area are growing very concerned about the delay in opening the new bridge across the Brunton. It’s already nearly a year overdue. The ferry service has been greatly reduced and people have been greatly inconvenienced. Are you a-ble to supply a definite opening date?
M: Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to do so at this moment. What I can tell you is that a committee has been set up to investigate the delay and that this committee will report to us in due course. At this juncture, we can say that there have been a number of unexpected teething troubles , but we’re unaware of the exact nature of these. Of course, we very much regret the delay.
W: Meanwhile, Mr Jones, people have to drive miles to get to work because they cannot get across the river. It appears that the ferry company’s jumped the gun when they so drastically reduced the service across the river.
M: The ferry company’s decision was a commercial one and is in no way the responsibility of the government or, indeed, of the local authority. Far be it from me either to criticize or defend their decision, but business is business and presumably they wished to avoid substantial losses by providing too many ferry beats for the numbers using them. It’s easy to be wise after the e-vent, but their decision was made as a result of the original building forecast.
W: In view of the inconvenience caused to the public, is it possible for the government to intervene to try to persuade the ferry company to reintroduce their original service temporarily until the bridge is actually opened?
M: Not until we’ve had the report of the committee which is investigating the state of play on the building of the bridge. In the meantime, I must urge everyone to be patient. The splendid new bridge will be worth waiting for.
选项
A、He gave the public a definite opening date.
B、He asked the public to wait for the committee’s investigation result.
C、He said the committee has found the solution to the delay.
D、He promised to report it to the local authority.
答案
B
解析
对话开头女士便指出Brunton的新桥延迟开放问题,并且提到轮渡服务也大大减少,给人们的生活带来了极大不便,于是问男士能够给出新桥开放的确切日期。男士说现在还不能给出确切答案,但是“a committee has been set up to investigate the delay andthat this committee will report to us in due course”,可见男士让公众等待委员会调查结果。故B项正确。
