问题
W: With us now, is Malcolm Bricklin, CEO of Visionary Vehicles.
M: Hello, everyone.
W: We have been hearing a couple of things about this news that[5]Ford Motor Company is slashing up to 30,000 jobs, shutting down 14 plants nationwide. Is it a big deal if we are no longer manufacturing these cars, Malcolm?
M: I think it’s a huge deal. I mean the companies are massive employers both directly and indirectly. If you look at Ford after their restructuring, they’ve actually got 87,000 employees which is twice as many as Microsoft have worldwide. Moreover, if you look at those jobs, they are very high-paying jobs. These are people who can afford to buy their own products.
W: Er,[6]it seems to indicate a big hit for our economy if these jobs go bye-bye.
M: Yeah, it’s a really sad day for America.
W: But it is not as if cars are stopped being made, right?
M: Correct. Still a large number of cars are being made by American manufacturers. More than half of the American cars sold in America are American. So what has happened over time is that as the market share has fallen, foreign car companies have come in, taken over plants and set up new plants, and they have taken over that capacity. So, it is not like there are fewer cars being produced in America than there were 30 years ago.
W: Let me ask you about the Chinese coming in. What would it mean to American jobs, if and when that happens?
M: The Chinese cars we have seen so far aren’t that great and they don’t have the branding necessary to make a huge impact in the world stage.
5. What do we know about the Ford Motor Company from the conversation?
6. Why is it a big deal if the American automakers no longer do the making?
7. What happened to the foreign automakers in America?
8. What does the man think of Chinese car manufacturing?
选项
A、It is closing down some factories in the US.
B、It no longer offers high-paying jobs.
C、The number of its employees is doubled after the restructuring.
D、It is manufacturing as many cars as before.
答案
A
解析
选项都提到it,从factories、jobs、employees、restructuring、cars等来看,问题应该与某个汽车生产公司有关。对话开头女士提到,福特汽车公司正在全国范围内关闭14个工厂。A中的closing down是原文shutting down的同义替换,因此为正确答案。B与D都与对话不符,C有一定的干扰性,注意对话中男士提到的重组后的福特公司雇员数目是微软的两倍,而不是C所说的重组前的两倍。
