15、onversation? 1 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 男士第一句就提到了 C项里的关键词 run the campaign，再结合后面女士提到的活动举办太迟以及错过重要交易会、没有刊登在主要杂志上等，可知男士的公司专门从事的是销售策划活动， C正确。 A、 B项利用对话中提到的two key magazines和 trade fairs胡乱拼凑而成。对话中女士抱怨 (男士公司安排的 )推广活动错过了两场重要的 “交易会 ”，广告也没有出现在主要的杂志上，故排除A、 B。 D中的 product design在对话中没有提到。 【知识模块 】 听力 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根
