M: Hello, Jane.
W: Hello, Paul.
M: Please come in. I’m just getting ready to go home. Susan is expecting me for dinner. I want it to be on time for a change.
W: Look, I’m terribly sorry to drop in at this time on Friday, Paul. But it is rather important.
M: That’s OK. What’s the problem?
W: Well, Paul, I won’t keep you long. You see there is a problem with the exchange rates. The Indian rupee has taken a fall on the foreign exchange market. You see there’s being a sharp increase in India’s balance of payment deficit.
M: I see. That’s serious, isn’t it?
W: Well, as you know, there have been reports of unrest in India, and the prospects for the rupee look pretty gloomy.
M: And that’s going to affect us, as if we didn’t have enough problems on our hands.
W: So I thought it would be wise to take out forward exchange cover to protect our position on the outstanding contracts.
M: Just a minute. Forward exchange cover—now what does that mean exactly?
W: Well, it means that JL Motors enters into a commitment to sell Indian rupees at the present rate.

M: What will it cost, Jane?
W: A small percentage, about 1%. And that can be built into the price of the bike.
M: Well, I don’t suppose there’s much choice. All right, Jane. Let’s put it into action.

选项 A、Foreign investors are losing confidence in India’s economy.
B、Many multinational enterprises are withdrawing from India.
C、There is a sharp increase in India’s balance of payment deficit.

答案C

解析 对话中,当男士问女士来拜访是为何事时,女士说是有关汇率的问题,印度卢比在外汇市场上失势,印度的国际收支逆差急剧上升。由此可知,女士担心印度卢比的原因是印度的国际收支逆差急剧上升。由此可知,选项C为正确答案,其中的India’s balance of payment deficit为原词重现。其他三项对话中均未提及,都可排除。
