For each question(23-30), mark one letter(A, B or C)for the correct answer.
After you have listened once, replay the recording.
Why is there an increasing demand for ceramics in U. S. ?
Importer: What beautiful art ceramics you m-ake!
Manufacturer: I learned the craft from my grandfather. Then I studied ceramic engineering at school.
Importer: All your hard work looks as if it’s paid off.
Manufacturer: Yes, I have 55 employees. I hope to become the biggest exporter of ceramics in Taiwan.
Importer: Well, the demand for ceramics is increasing in my country.
Manufacturer: Yes, a large proportion of our sales are to the U. S.
Importer: The development of ceramics in your country has been remarkable. You carry on a centuries-old tradition and keep pace with modern technology at the same time.
Manufacturer: Yes, our research in the field has been yielding good results. And we’re deeply grateful to your country’s technicians for their considerable assistance.
Importer: Tell me about your designs.
Manufacturer: How do you like this one?
Importer: It’s beautiful.
Manufacturer: This is an eight-foot decorative vase. It’s hand-made and the inlaid designs are etched in. It takes 45 days to make. Its retail price will be US $ 3,000.
Importer: The result is certainly worth the effort. How about this design over here?
Manufacturer: This vase is still in the experimental stage.
Importer: Why is that?
Manufacturer: It’s quite expensive to make and because of its small size, buyers balk at its high price. We feel we could sell more if we could reduce the price.
Importer: Well, you mustn’t tamper with quality. It’s the highest quality of Chinese ceramics that attracts American buyers.
Manufacturer: That’s why a reduction in price can never be made at the expense of quality.
Importer: Well, thank you for showing me your beautiful ceramic ware. I was so impressed by your designs and the quality of your pieces.

选项 A、It’s cheap.
B、It’s in good quality.
C、It’s very tradition but has modern designs.

答案C

解析 为什么美国对陶瓷的需求大大增加,由“You carry on a centuries—old tradition and keeppace with modem technology at the same time.”可了解到是对传统的继承与现代技术的结合。因此答案是C。
