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、It enables children to live better.
B、It goes down during economic recession.
C、It often rises higher than inflation.
D、It has gone up 25% in the past decade.
答案
C
解析
对话中女士问过男士如何看待零用钱的上升常常高于通货膨胀。因此答案为C。对话中提到词组better off,A的live better为干扰项:B“在经济不景气时下降”原文未提及:D中的25%尽管在原文中提到过,但past decade“过去十年”未提及。
