Subject: Conference
Date: September 12
Dear Mike,
As you know, this year's Managers Training Conference is being held at the Springwater Convention Center in Palmerston from Friday, September 24, through Sunday, September 26. Below are all the details you'll need to find your way there. I've chosen you to lead two seminars on employee recruitment, so please come well-prepared. According to our surveys, there'll be a lot of people eager to hear from you.
· Company buses will leave our main office in Tacoma at 7 A.M. on Friday, September 24. If you want to reserve a seat, please let me know by I P.M. on September 23.
· If you are driving to the conference, take Highway 13 south to Larchfield Road Exit. After exiting, turn east onto Palmer Drive, then keep going straight until you reach Springwater Exit. The Center is just by Walter Avenue on Blaine Street about 10 minutes from the exit. Just follow the signs.
I know you wrote earlier that Winston Marks wants to come by train, so I've attached the schedule. From Springwater Station he can take a shuttle bus to the Center. Please remind him he's got to get there by 2 P.M., though.
The conference promises to be an exciting event for everyone concerned from Teleopticals. I look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
Yu Xin Wang, Senior Director
Event Planning Department
Western Washington Rail Co.

单选题 What is the purpose of the e-mail?
A. To provide options
B. To confirm changes
C. To explain goals
D. To ask about availability
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】确定“发送E-mail的目的”,要注意看开头部分。由开头的“This year's Managers Training Conference is being held”可知,这是有关“会议的通知”,但这似乎与所有选项都不符。在这种情况下我们就需要从E-mail中读取“会议+d”的信息。在邮件的中间部分我们可以看到“乘坐巴士的相关说明”以及“开车路线”等信息,显然这是为参会人员提供的选择,因此(A)为。
单选题 What is Mike's responsibility at the conference?
A. Planning event schedules
B. Arranging the guest travel
C. Making a presentation
D. Surveying new managers
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】由“Dear Mike”可知,这是写给Mike的电子邮件。第一段谈到”I've chosen you to lead two seminars on employee recruitment,soplease come well-prepared”,即Mike要主持两场研讨会,因此是(C)。这道题的解题方法并不是直接寻找关键词,而是要弄清楚Mike需要做的事情,从中找出。
单选题 The word "concerned" in paragraph 5, line 2, of the e-mail is closest in meaning to
A. related
B. secured
C. proposed
D. enabled
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】因为邮件的最后提到“for everyone concerned from Teleopticals”,所以这里的“concerned”表示“有关一”之意,在此作为后置修饰语修饰“everyone”,所以是(A)。在Part 7,词汇题通常都要通过联系上下文来推测词义,无论多么简单的单词也不例外。因为在不同的语境中,词义可能也会发生变化,所以我们一定要注意。
单选题 Which location will the conference be held at?
A. Larchfield Road
B. Palmer Drive
C. Walter Avenue
D. Blaine Street
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】这道题问的是“会议的举办地”。因为选项中的地名出现在邮件的中间部分,所以我们需要从开车经由的路线中查找。首先是从Larchfield Road出口出来进入Palmer Drive,然后驶向Springwater出口。因为会议场所在Walter Avenue旁边,并且就在Blaine Street上,所以是(D)。解这类题时我们应该记住,“最后出现的地名=目的地”。
单选题 What is the latest train number Winston Marks can take?
A. 024
B. 108
C. 116
D. 513
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】这里问的是“末班车的车次”。通过查看时刻表可知,108号是末班列车,但时刻表中有标记符号“"”,且下面有注释,即“Mondaythrough Thursday only”,表示只有周一至周四运营。但是会议从星期五至星期天举行,所以不能乘坐这趟末班车。显然,是前面一趟513号。因为“注意事项”或“例外情况”经常会成为考点,所以我们千万不能疏忽。
