M: Do you know the thing that’s always struck me as odd about opinion polls?
W: What’s that?
M: The percentages. Lake recently [6]there was a survey about what people thought about traffic, and petrol prices, and public car parks. In some car parks it now costs something like 5 pounds to park a car for half an hour.
W: Yeah, but I don’t see what you’re getting at.
M: What I mean is the percentages in the results. So there might be 70% of people who complained about high petrol prices, and 60% who want to see the traffic reduced, and 65% who think car park charges are too high. [7]Does that mean that there are 35% who actually think the charges are OK and would even be prepared to pay more, and another 30% who think petrol prices are OK? I mean that’s absurd. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t think they’re too high.
W: Well, actually I think we should pay more.
M: Come on, you’re joking.
W: No, seriously. I think we should pay more for petrol, even twice as much maybe, and certainly far more for inner city car parks.
M: But why?
W: More taxes should be charged on petrol, I think, to discourage people from using cars, [8]and a kind of graded charging system for car parks depending on how far they are from the city center.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, [8]/[9]if you park your car quite far from the city center then you pay a nominal amount as a kind of reward for not polluting the city center. Well, the closer you get to the center, the more you are penalized. Prices in the center should be totally prohibitive. I mean with an efficient bus or train service there’s no excuse for using cars.
M: Yeah, but you can’t penalize people who don’t use their car to go into town. I mean if you doubled the price of petrol, it would cost people a fortune to go anywhere, even on short trips, and especially on holidays.
W: Don’t use your car then. Use a train.
M: But what about lorries? I mean they use a lot of petrol to transport goods from one place to another.
W: So what’s to stop these goods from being transported by train or even via canal?
M: Well, [10]anyway, I still can’t believe that 30% of those people who said car park charges were OK all think the same as you,
W: Well, maybe that’s where you are wrong. Just think about what I’ve said and you’ll realize that perhaps it’s not so stupid as it sounds.
6. What items are surveyed in the opinion poll according to the man?
7. What does the man find absurd about the survey?
8. What is the woman’s view about car parking?
9. What problem is the woman most concerned about?
10. What is the man’s attitude towards the opinion poll?
选项
A、People should be heavily fined for parking offenses.
B、The nearer to the city center you park, the higher the charge.
C、Car park charges should be made as high as possible.
D、People should not park their cars for longer than half an hour.
答案
B
解析
问题问女士对停车的看法,女士对停车提出了分级收费系统的想法。即取决于隔市中心有多远,离得越近,收费越高。B项用the charge同义替换了原文中的you are penalized。女士并没有觉得停车是offenses “过错”,故A“人们应该要对停车过错受罚”不对。C“停车费要尽可以设高”和D“人们不应该停车超过半小时”都与对话不符。
