How much more will I have to pay you? 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 这一部分的材料都是关于衣服价格的，在听音中要留心不同的数字，尤其是数字的计量单位，及其之间的转换。这段听力原文中出现的换 T-shirt，之前那件是 10.49镑，现在想换这 件是 12.34镑，还需要补足 1.85镑。故选D。 14 【听力原文】 Woman: I tried this pair of shoes and I think I like

Im supposed to be seeing the boss this afternoon but somethings come up. Actually, Im going out to din
34、ner.

37、ne of the great success stories of recent years. Sportswear manufacturers have made a great deal of money. Here with me in the studio to talk about this is Brent Collins, of Super Fashion Limited, who in recent years has become one of the countrys leading manufacturers of sportswear. Brent I notice
38、you arent wearing sports shoes or a tracksuit. Man: Not at the moment, Sandy. But I was earlier this morning. Woman: Can we start off by looking at the finances of this great success story? How much exactly is the sportswear industry worth? Man: At the moment I would say its worth something like 3,5
39、00 million a year. Woman: To whom? Where are people going for their sportswear? Man: Well, traditionally, up to the end of the 80s, shall we say, sportswear was produced almost exclusively by sportswear specialists and passed on to the department stores to be sold. In the last 10 years theres been a
40、n interesting development of the mail-order business but most sportswear by far is still produced by sportswear companies like our own and then retailed through our own specialist outlets. Woman: Approximately what proportion of expenditure on all clothing and footwear is spent on sportswear? Do you
41、 know? Man: Im not absolutely sure of the very latest figures, but its something in the region of 9%. That includes expenditure on childrens sportswear. What I think is more interesting or surprising is that a recent survey showed that last year 41% of sportswear was purchased by adults, not for use
42、 as sports clothes, not, I mean, to play a sport, but just as casual wear for their entertainment activities. Woman: You say adults. But my impression is that it is the young who buy this sort of clothing. I mean, my mother hasnt bought any sports shoes yet and theyve been in fashion for years. Im n
43、ot sure she ever will buy any now. Man: Of course it basically is a youth market. However, one surprising fact is that the 16-25 age-group is in fact getting smaller and will continue to do so for a few more years. The size of this group has fallen from 9.5 million in the mid 1980s to something like
44、 7.5 million now. And yet the sportswear market has expanded considerably during the same period. It cant be simply a youth market. Woman: What do you see as the reason for the development in sportswear? Man: Its hard, if not impossible, to give you any single reason. There are even plenty of reason
45、s why it shouldnt have happened, such as the rising costs of production and marketing, leading to much higher prices. Whats clear is that changing social conditions have greatly helped. The market couldnt have grown to its present size without the relaxation in codes of dress that has taken place si
46、nce the late 70s. We have relaxed some of our rules. This has allowed sports participants to wear their tracksuits and sports shoes for many other activities they are not designed for. At a very practical level, clothing and footwear which are suitable for sports are so easily used for other non-spo
47、rting activities as well. For DIY, or gardening, or just playing with the children. Woman: And how do you see the future for sportswear? Man: I expect increased competition between the manufacturers to produce more attractive and fashionable materials. I dont expect this to affect the number of manu
48、facturers active in the marketplace but it could well bring the prices down. Woman: Will we be wearing the same sportswear products then? Five years from now. Man: Almost definitely. This is not just a passing fashion. It will last. People young and old are putting an ever-increasing emphasis on the
49、 importance of feeling, and looking, fit and healthy. Most experts believe that sportswear will actually increase its market share over the next few years. 23 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 此题是对文章关键词的理解。原句为 this is Brent Collins， of Super Fashion Limited， who in recent years has become one of the countrys leading manufacturers of sportswea
