Subject: Purchase Order (# 120-B21)
Dear Mr. Ann Lin,
We have received your Purchase Order No. 120-B21 dated 4-6-07.
We regret to inform you that this order cannot be fulfilled in its totality at this time due to the following reason: Item #G6 (True-Bond Adhesive) is temporarily out of stock.
We can substitute a comparable product (#G11: Woodlock Carpenter's Glue) if an item you have chosen is not available and reduce the price to match the price of item #G6.
Our policy indicates that we will neither substitute items nor automatically send backordered items without our customer's direct consent, so you must reply to this e-mail and tell us how you wish to proceed.
Otherwise, your partial order will be shipped on April 13, 2007 and you will be contacted by a representative when we receive our next item #G6.
Best Regards,
Bruce Campbell

单选题 What comprises the bulk of the order?
A. Adhesives
B. Fasteners
C. Lumbers
D. Tools

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】初级问题
(第一篇文章)通过订单Quantity(数量)栏可知，所订物品中“梁木(wooden beams)”有40根，数量最多。因此(C)项“板材(Lumbers)”是正确答案。

单选题 What is the main purpose of the e-mail?
A. To promote a newly-arrived product
B. To cancel an order within 72 hours before the delivery date
C. To announce a change in the price of goods
D. To explain that an item is not in inventory

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】中级问题
(第二篇文章)布鲁斯先生告知安林“商品号#G6暂时缺货(Item #G6(True-Bond Adhesive)is temporarily out of stock. )”，因此“无法完成全部订单”。即布鲁斯先生写这封邮件是为了“说明某种货物缺货(To explain that an item is not in inventory)”。

单选题 What is indicated by Mr. Bruce Campbell?
A. Item #G6 has been discontinued.
B. A comparable adhesive is available.
C. The order form was not filled out correctly.
D. Each item will be sent to the customer at the end of every month.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】中级问题
(第二篇文章)由于“True-Bond胶粘剂”暂时缺货，所以布鲁斯先生在邮件中建议对方购买Woodlock Carpenter's Glue。由此推断“可购买到类似的胶粘剂(A comparable adhesive is available. )”，故(B)项为正确答案。

单选题 What can be understood by reading the e-mail?
A. Woodlock costs more than True-Bond.
B. True-Bond is not a popular product.
C. Woodman Co., Ltd. is a furniture manufacturer.
D. The entire order will be delivered on April 11,2007.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】中级问题
(第二篇文章)woodlock是true-bond的代替品，原文提到“我们将会给您提供一定折扣以求价格接近#G6(True-Bond胶粘剂)商品(…reduce the price to match the price of item #G6)”，可推知，Woodlock比True-Bond价格贵，故选(A)项。

单选题 In the e-mail, the word "fulfilled" in Paragraph 2, Line 1 is closest in meaning to______.
A. canceled
B. executed
C. removed
D. liquidated

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】中级问题
(第二篇文章)在this order cannot be fulfilled…(无法完成全部订单)中fulfill是“履行，完成(约定，义务)”的意思，而选项(B)execute是“履行，实现，完成”，意义相近。另外，其他几项分别为: cancel是“取消，删除”，remove“消除，搬移”，liquidate“清算(债务，公司)”。
