这类考查“听话人身份”的题目也是考试中经常出现的。在这里,我们可以想象一下这段话是在什么情况下讲的。由发言开头处“Oursenior project manager Alvin Hernandez hasbeen chosen to lead the Boston office”可知,这是职场的人事报告。一般来说,通知人事调动的人不是上司就是人事部负责人,而听话人一般都是公司的员工。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】这道题问的是“Alvin Hernandez现在的工作地点”。发言一开始,在提到他的名字后,接下来就是“lead the Boston office"。而波士顿是他即将调去的工作地点,所以是陷阱。本题中,“before he leaves us here ln Houston”这一句才是重点。可见,他现在在休斯敦。如果没有注意到问题中的“currently”,这道题就很容易出错。考查“地点”的题目和考查“数字”的题目一样,很多时候难度都比较大。遇到这类题,千万要小心对待,以免丢分。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】这道题问的是“听话人现在应该做什么?”,本题的答案就藏在“Now,let's get right backto our assignments”一句中,说的是“回到工作上来吧”,所以是(B)。也就是人事调动通知完毕以后,发言人说“好了,工作,工作”。如果不能准确把握文章的逻辑关系,或许所有选项看起来都像是。
