Question 24 is based on the recording you have just heard.

24. What does the speaker say about the technology industry?

解析：D。本题目为细节题。问题为：关于技术型产业，讲话人说了什么？原文所在句：Now we all know that the technology industry is intensely competitive with new products being launched all year round as the various companies strive to compete with each other, rather than, say once a year or every couple of years.技术型产业在新产品的发布上竞争激烈，因为不同的公司间全年都在竞争，而不是一年或者几年。选项D) It is intensely competitive（竞争激烈），与文中信息完全一致。
