问题 Is the woman very sure that she can meet the deadline at the beginning of the conversation?
M: Hello, Mrs. Lytton. Uh, I’ll come straight to the point. Will the goods be delivered on time?
W: Well, uh, we will do our best.
M: Hmm, excuse me, Mrs. Lytton, but I’m afraid that really isn’t good enough. Will you meet the deadline or won’t you?
W: Uh yes, I’m quite sure we can, even though we’ve been having a few problems.
M: Oh? Exactly what kind of problems?
W: Oh, nothing very serious. I mean. I’m sure there is no need to worry.
M: Well, I certainly hope not, Mrs. Lytton, for your sake as well as ours. I’m sure you know there’s a penaity if the goods cannot be delivered on time.
W: Yes, Mr. Mason, I’m perfectly aware of that.
M: Good, so we can expect the goods to be delivered by the 31st of the month?
W: Yes, Mr. Mason, you can depend on that.

选项 A、Yes, she thinks there will be no problem at all.
B、Yes, although there are some problems.
C、No, she has been avoiding giving a definite answer.
D、No, she thinks it impossible to meet the deadline.

答案C

解析 女士其实一直在闪烁其词,一开始男士问Will the goods be delivered on time?“能按时交货吗?”,她说We will do our best“我们将尽力而为”,后来男士又追问Will you meet the deadline or won’t you?,女土犹豫了一下才表示肯定(Uh...yes)。问题问的是她一开始的态度,答案是C“她一直尽量避免明确回答”。
