W: Hey there, Christopher. What are you up to?
M: I’m just poring over some brochures about various car models.
W: Oh, so you’re thinking about buying a new car?
M: Yeah, it looks that way. My wife has been bugging me about it.(1)I thought we could probably survive without one, but with a baby on the way, maybe it is time to get a car.
W: So this would be your first automobile?
M: That’s right. For quite a few years, I rode a bicycle to work. Then I got a motorbike.
W: Yeah, I think I can understand your wife’s position. Asking her to ride on a motorcycle when she’s pregnant is a tall order.
M: Oh...I don’t let her ride with me. It’s just too dangerous.(2)She takes the bus to work, but it is sometimes difficult to get a seat and it’s crowded and hot.
W: So it’s time to buy your very first car! Wow, that’s exciting!
M: Yes, but it’s also a pretty big financial responsibility. I’m having a hard time deciding which model is best for us.
W: Yeah, it is a tough call. Each one has its pros and cons. Are you looking for a sedan?
M: Yes, I’d like a Jeep, but(3-1)my wife says we have to get a comfortable sedan for long drive home to see her relatives.
W:(3-2)I’d advise you to listen to your wife. She will be sitting in the back taking care of the kids, so whatever she prefers is probably the best choice.
M: What do you think about this one? Here, take a look.
W: I like it. It’s quite stylish. But it’s also pretty small.
M: That’s OK. We are only a family of three. And it gets good gas mileage and overall has good value.
W:(4)When I was young, having a car was all about power, prestige and fashion. But today, everything is about economy, value and savings.
M: The world has changed.
W: Have you considered getting a second-hand car?
M:(5)My wife rejected that idea. She says that you never know if the car dealer is unscrupulous. The car could be water damaged or could have been involved in an accident.
W: She makes some good points. Anyway, having a new car is a great experience. How about the color?
M: Blue is my lucky color, so I’ll pick blue if possible. My wife says we should consider black because it doesn’t look dirty so quickly.
W: Cool! Well, let me know when you decide. I’d love to check out your new car!
M: Sure. Thanks for the input.
1. What makes the man finally decide to buy a car?
2. Which is NOT the disadvantage of taking a bus to work according to the man?
3. What does the woman suggest the man do?
4. Which used to be a factor the woman focused on when she was young?
5. Which is NOT the reason why the man’s wife refuses to buy a second-hand car?
选项
A、She thinks that the car dealers are dishonest.
B、She can hardly tell whether the car has something wrong.
C、She is worried about the quality of the car.
D、She hates to bargain with the car dealers.
答案
D
解析
本题考查原因。由句(5)可知,男士的妻子不同意买二手车,她认为二手车经销商可能不诚信,也许车曾经被水渍过甚至出过车祸。由此推知,男士的妻子不相信二手车经销商,担心车子有质量问题,故排除A、B和C,因此答案为D。
