问题  
M: I’d like to go to the States, but if I took the job there, I won’t get a very good salary.
W: Really? I thought salaries were high there, but there would be some fringe benefits presumably.
M: Oh, yes. (9) It would be stimulating and it has some advantages.
W: What else do you have in mind?
M: Well, this position in Portugal.
W: How does it compare?
M: It offers greatest security, because it will be on a home-base contract.
W: And salary?
M: Much better. I get an overseas allowance plus free accommodation from the firm.
W: Presumably you will be given moving expenses for the Portugal job?
M: (10-1) Yes, but just to complicate matters, this possibility offers a post in Sao Paulo.
W: That’s Brazil, isn’t it?
M: Yes. (10-2) And I’ll get a promotion if I took a post there.
W: I’d love to go to Brazil.
M: But there are some disadvantages. (11-1) I’d have to do a five-year term there.
W: That’s not a problem, surely?
M: Well, not at the moment. (11-2) But if there were a change in family circumstances, I’d be a long way from home.
W: But if you worry about distance, isn’t that the same problem with the States?
M: Yes, but in the States I will be on an annual contract, so I can leave fairly quickly if I needed to.
W: In Portugal?
M: Well, that’s almost next door, isn’t it? I can visit home every a few months if necessary.
W: I can see you’ve got a difficult choice to make.
M: Well, fortunately I don’t have to make up my mind about any of them yet. (12) In fact, I haven’t even been called for an interview.
9. What does the man say about the job in the States?
10. What benefit will the man get if he took the post in Sao Paulo?
11. What does the man say is the disadvantage of working in Brazil?
12. What do we learn from the end of the conversation?

选项 A、He has difficulty communicating with local people.
B、He has to spend a lot more traveling back and forth.
C、He has trouble adapting to the local weather.
D、He has to sign a long-term contract.

答案D

解析 四个选项均以He开头,其中出现了difficulty,local people,trouble,local weather等词,因此推断本题考查男士在外地工作会遇到哪方面的困难。对话中男士指出在巴西工作需要签5年的合约,离家太远,一旦家里有什么事,无法兼顾,故答案为D)。
