W: Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?
M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite understand the column entitled "Change". Can you explain what it means?
W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 72p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.
M: Oh, yes. I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.
W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?
M: I am sorry I’ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.
W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That’s strange, isn’t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.
M: Yes. I don’t understand that at all.
W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?
M: I don’t know. I think I’ll probably give them 2 pounds a week.
W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?
M: Well, out of that, they’d have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.
W: Yes. By the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?
M: Yeah, they do.
12. What is the table of figures about?
13. What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money?
14. Why does the man think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?
15. Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money?
选项
A、Parents in Britain are too generous.
B、Parents in Britain make more money.
C、Parents in Britain love their children too much.
D、Parents in Britain want their children to be better off.
答案
A
解析
对话中女士问男士如何看待零用钱的上升常常高于通货膨胀,男士回答原因可能是英国的父母过于慷慨(Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous)。A是对此的原词复现,故为答案。B“英国的父母挣钱更多了”和C“英国的父母太爱孩子了”录音未提及:D“英国的父母希望孩子生活得更好”利用原词better off制造干扰,但与男士所给原因不符。
