单选题 What event will be held on August 25?

A、 A company celebration
B、 A family reunion
C、 A book launch
D、 A restaurant opening

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】解析：本题是问“8月25日将举行什么(What)活动”，因此应定位至原文中提及题目核心语句event…on August 25相关内容的部分。原文标题为“Please join us for cocktails to celebrate the publication of Chef Melinda Waterston’s Recipes for Rainy Days: A Cookbook”，即请参加为纪念梅琳达·沃特斯顿厨师的烹饪书籍出版而举行的鸡尾酒会；其后又说“On Sunday，August 25”，即邀请函上的活动于8月25日举行，据此可知8月25日举行的活动是图书发布会。因此(C)A book launch为正确答案。

单选题 What is stated about the event?

A、 Directions may be found on a Web site.
B、 Attendees must contact Mr. Fox.
C、 Formal attire is required.
D、 A buffet dinner will be served.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】解析：本题应将选项中与题目核心词the event相关的内容带回到原文中去查找并判断正误。(A)、(C)、(D)在原文中均未被提及。原文中提到“Please confirm your attendance by calling Lance Fox…”，即要求给兰斯·福克斯打电话确认出席，因此(B)Attendees must contact Mr．Fox．为正确答案。
