W: There’s is an element there about competition though, isn’t there? Because British railways are a nationalised industry, there’s only one railway system in the country. If you don’t like a particular can of baked beans, you can go and buy another, but if you don’t like a particular railway, you can’t go and use another.
M: Some people who write to me say this. They say that if you didn’t have a monopoly, you wouldn’t be able to do the things you do. Well, I don’t think we do anything deliberately to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalised.
W: Do you think that is a good thing? Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think, to be nationalised?
M: Oh, I think so, yes. Because in general, modes of transport are all around. Let’s face the fact. The car arrived. The car is here to stay. There is no question about that.
W: So what are you’re saying then is that if the railways hadn’t been nationalised, they would simply have disappeared?
M: Oh, I think they would have. They’re disappearing fast in America. Er, the French railways lose 1 billion pounds a year, the German railways, 2 billion pounds a year. But you see, those governments are prepared to pour money into the transport system to keep it going.
W: So in a sense, you cope between two extremes. On the one hand, you’re trying not to lose too much money. And on the other hand, you’ve got to provide the best service.
M: Yes, you’re right.

答案
B
解析
从选项预测本题与交通运输某方面情况相关。女士问男士是否认为铁路国有化是一件好事,男士回答说是的,因为存在着各种交通运输方式。此后他还进一步肯定了女士的说法,即,如果不是这样,铁路运输就会消亡。男士随后提及“The car arrived.The car is here to stay…”,他认为诸如汽车运输等交通运输方式的到来带来了竞争,对铁路运输产生了巨大的冲击。故B为正确答案
