问题 When will he meet with Trevor?

Why are their goods late?
F:When are you coming back from the conference?
M:I’m flying back on Monday,late in the afternoon.
F:Remember you are meeting with Trevor on Tuesday morning!
M:Oh,could we reschedule the meeting to Tuesday afternoon,because I need to get some materials ready in the morning.
F:Ok,no problem !
F:Unfortunately,this time of year is often troublesome for goods delivery.
M:Why is that?
F:Well,there are weather delays and shipment delays.Sometimes,larger packages are delayed because of a bottleneck at the distribution point.  
M:I see.That’s why they called from California that the delivery of our goods was postponed due to high waves caused by strong storm.

选项 A、Weather delay.
B、Shipment delay.
C、Bottleneck delay.

答案A

解析 他们的货物为何延迟?谈话中的女士指出这个季节经常会发生送货延迟,原因有三个:(1)天气原因延迟(weather delays);(2)装运环节延迟(shipment delayrs);(3)大件货品(large package)在分货点遭遇瓶颈(bottleneck at the distribution point)。要弄明白他们的货物究竟为什么延迟需要抓住对话中男士的回应。他说对方从加利福尼亚打电话说因为强风暴造成大浪(high waves),因此他们的货物推迟发送。理解了他的话,就不难看出货物延迟是天气原因造成的,故而答案为A。
