单选题 What will most likely take place after February 28?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:本题为关于题目核心语句take place after February 28的推断题,因此应定位至提及2月28日的第一篇广告的相关内容。广告原文中提到“The deadline for all applications is February 28.”,即所有申请书的提交截止日期是2月28日,故可以推知2月28日以后将不再接收求职申请,因此(B)Applications for jobs will no longer be accepted.是正确答案。

单选题 Which qualification does Mr. Vaughn NOT mention?
【正确答案】 A

单选题 Which section of NexusWire is Mr. Vaughn most likely interested in?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析:本题需要综合两篇文章的内容进行推理后解答。题目是问沃恩先生最可能感兴趣的是NexusWire杂志的哪个部门,首先应定位至第二篇原文,即沃恩先生所写的电子邮件。 邮件开头提到“Dear Ms.Young,I am writing in response to Nexus Wire’s posting for staff writers.”,即沃恩先生看到了NexusWire杂志招聘特约撰稿人的广告后给扬女士写了这封信,在后文中又提到“As a reporter for The Liberic Business Daily for two years…”和“I also did some freelance writing for several business journals.”,即沃恩先生曾在The Liberic Business Daily杂志做过两年记者,也曾为几家商业杂志做过自由撰稿工作,由此可以确定第一条线索。然而扬女士究竟在NexusWire杂志负责哪个部门,邮件中并未点明,因此应再看第一篇广告的相关内容。广告中提到“Business and Finance,Claudia Young”,即克劳迪娅·扬是商务和金融部门的总编辑,由此可以确定第二条线索。 将第一条线索“沃恩先生向扬女士发送邮件说明自己有商业杂志的从业经历”和第二条线索“克劳迪娅·扬是NexusWire杂志的商务和金融部门的总编辑”综合起来考虑,可推知沃恩先生对NexusWire杂志的商务和金融部门感兴趣。因此(C)Business and Finance为正确答案。
