问题  
W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.
    M: Yes, but I’m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?
    W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it’s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?
    M: Yes, thanks.
    W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there’s a lot of unemployment as well as geographical problems in the region.
    M: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?
    W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems. Now though there are new train links and better roads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we’ll see this in more detail, so we’ll come back to this question, OK?
    M: OK, right.
    W: So I was about to say something about the workforce in the region and the level of training and education. In general, it’s very good and improving.
    12. What was one of the main industrial activities in the region?
    13. What does the woman say about steel-related manufacturing in the region?
    14. What problems hinder the region’s development?
    15. What will the speakers discuss later?

选项 A、Lack of resources.
B、Shortage of funding.
C、Transport problems.
D、Poor management.

答案C

解析 从选项关键词lack,shortage,problem,poor。推测是问某种负面问题。女士提到该地区有失业(unemployment)及地理问题(geographical problems)。之后解析地理问题实际上是指运输问题(transport problems);尽管现在有了新的火车线路和和更好的公路,但一些内陆小镇还是交通不太便利。因此选C。A中的resources,B中的funding和D中的management在女士的谈话中没有提及。谈话提到transport problems,符合“长对话听到什么选什么”的原则;而且but一词后的内容往往是考查点所在。
