W: Dr. Thomas? This is Kate Bradley from the daily news. I’d like to ask you some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.
M: I’d be happy to help you. What would you like to know?
W: First of all, how was the standard weight used?
M: Well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. The department of weights and measures, we are a government agency. 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.
W: How did you check the scales before?
M: 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. It absorbed too much moisture.
W: Oh. So when the weather was humid it weighed more and when it was dry it weighed less.
M: 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.
W: How much did it cost?
M: About 45,000 dollars.
W: 45,000 dollars? For a one-kilogram weight? That’s more expensive than gold. Is it really worth that much?
M: 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 drag industry, fur example, these companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.
What is the main subject of the conversation?
What is Dr. Thomas’ opinion of the cost of the new weight?
选项
A、It is too expensive for such a metal.
B、It is priceless for such an object.
C、It is reasonable for such an important object.
D、It is too cheap for such a precious metal.
答案
C
解析
本题问“Thomas 博士认为新的标准重量仪的造价如何?”在回答这个仪器是否值这个价时,男士说,“整个工业需要政府部门去监管称量的标准,因此在人们买和卖的时候,需要一个统一的标准。比如说药业,他们需要非常精准的秤来制造、包装产品”。由此可以看出,Thomas博士认为这个标准仪是物有所值的。故[C]“这样重要的工具这个价格是合理的”正确。
