问题 What are they discussing?
M: Now that Alexis is retiring, we can promote someone to the head of the sales division. Who would you recommend?
W: Justin has put in the most time with the company, but he doesn’ t want any more responsibility because he already has his own business. So, I think Allan is the most qualified person. He’ s been with us for more than ten years and has a great reputation with our clients.
M: I know that Justin wouldn’ t have enough time to devote. Allan is the reasonable choice. I am going to meet with him this afternoon to offer the position to him.
W: That’ s good. Justin will be relieved that he wasn’ t chosen and Allan will be thrilled to move up.

选项 A、Sales figures
B、Alexis’ s retirement
C、The replacement for Alexis’ s position
D、Allen’ s clients

答案C

解析     对话的主题和对话是怎样展开的有直接联系,也就是说核心线索在第1句话就出现的可能性很大。如果把“Now that…,we can…”当作一个句型来看的话,就不会被(B)选项所迷惑。Now that后面说的是现在的情况,we can后面说的就是主题。
