A、Next spring. B、This week. C、Next month. D、Next autumn. A细节题。对话开头处，由女士话中的I have been informed…next spring可知，男士公司的国际销售会议是在明年春天举办

M: Great to meet you here, Miss Black. But what brings you here?
W:[13]I have been informed that your company is holding its annual international sales convention here next spring. I am coming to see if we can offer you the services of our hotel.
M: That’s interesting.
W: Mr. White, we are old friends, so I will not beat around the bush. I know you are well acquainted with our facilities, because you have attended many banquets, dinners, and luncheons there. I am sure that we will offer more advantages than other hotels.
M: That’s true. I have been greatly and pleasantly entertained at your hotel.
W: Do you still remember the lovely rooms in our hotel?[14]They are all outside rooms with pleasant views. They are beautifully decorated and comfortable. I will show you some pictures. Have a look at them...
M: Yes, they are really excellent. But what I am concerned about is the price. I think the prices are a little bit too high.
W: Mr. White, we can challenge the price of any hotels in the city for large conventions. I promise.
M: But[15]you know now arranging conventions is out of my line. I have just been promoted to be the president of the company. So I’ll have to leave that job to Mr. Green, the vice president in charge of sales. I think he will talk about the details with you. If the price is OK, I promise we will have great chances of cooperation.
W: Thank you for that.

13. When will the international sales convention be held?
14. What can we learn about the hotel, according to the woman?
15. Why doesn’t the man arrange conventions now?
