单选题 How did Mr. Clarete learn about Pyros Biz products?
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】解析:本题是问凯利特先生是如何(How)了解Pyros Biz公司的产品的,因此应定位至第一封凯利特先生所写的电子邮件中提及题目核心词Pyros Biz products的相关内容。邮件原文中提到“TechSavvy Magazine recently came out with an excellent review of your newest merchandise,which was how I found out about your business.”,即最近TechSavvy杂志刊登了一篇与Pyros Biz公司最新产品有关的出色评论文章,凯利特先生通过该评论文章而对Pyros Biz公司有所了解,故(D)Through a published article为正确答案。
单选题 What is stated about CompTavern Internet Cafe?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:本题需要在文章中搜索题目核心词CompTavern Internet Cafe的相关内容并与选项进行对照。应定位至第一封电子邮件中提及Comp Tavern Internet Cafe的相关内容。邮件首句提到“Iam one of the owners of CompTavern Internet Cafe,and we are set to open an additional branch…in September.”,即凯利特先生介绍说自己是Comp Tavern网络咖啡厅的所有者之一,并说到九月份Comp Tavern网络咖啡厅有再开一家分店的计划,故(A)与原文内容一致,因此(A)It will open a new branch.为正确答案。(B)、(C)、(D)在原文中没有被提及。
单选题 What items will Mr. Clarete probably order?
【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。题目是问凯利特先生将很可能订购什么产品,首先应定位至第一篇文章,即凯利特先生所写的电子邮件。 邮件原文中提到“We are currently looking to buy 32 web cameras…we are looking at the possibility of obtaining three color laser printers and a photocopier which has the capacity to produce a minimum of 60 pages per minute.”,即凯利特先生的公司目前准备购入32个网络摄像头。同时也在斟酌要不要购入三台彩色激光打印机和一台印刷速度为60张/分钟的复印机”,由此可以确定第一条线索。然而凯利特先生打算购入的产品是否是Pyros Biz公司出售的产品,邮件中并未点明,因此应再对第二篇文章,即小册子中Pyros Biz公司的产品信息进行确认。第二篇原文小册子中提到“LASER PRINTER,Black and white printer”,“PHOTOCOPIER,Capacity:40 pages per minute”和“WEB CAMERA”,即Pyros Biz公司出售黑白激光打印机、印刷速度为40张/分钟的复印机以及网络摄像头,由此可以确定第二条线索。 将第一条线索“凯利特先生准备购入32个网络摄像头、三台彩色激光打印机和一台印刷速度为60张/分钟的复印机”与第二条线索“Pyros Biz公司出售黑白激光打印机、印刷速度为40张/分钟的复印机以及网络摄像头”综合起来考虑,可推知符合购买条件的只有网络摄像头,因此可推知凯利特先生将很可能订购网络摄像头。故(C)Web cameras为正确答案。
单选题 What is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of any Pyros Biz products?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:本题应将选项中与题目核心语句a characteristic of any Pyros Biz products有关的内容带回到原文中去查找并判断正误。由关键信息可知应定位至第二篇文章,即小册子中提及Pyros Biz公司产品相关内容的部分。(A)在原文中没有被提及,因此(A)Stylish design为正确答案。原文中提到“PHOTOCOPIER,User-friendly LCD control panel”,即复印机的特征是用户友好型的LCD控制面板,因此(B)与原文内容一致。原文中提到“FAX MACHINE,Has an energy—efficient sleep mode function”,即传真机装备有节能的休眠模式,因此(C)与原文内容一致。原文中提到“WEB CAMERA,Comes with software…”,即网络摄像头中含有软件,因此(D)与原文内容一致。
单选题 What kind of shipping fees will Mr. Clarete probably be charged?
【正确答案】 B
【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。题目是问很可能向凯利特先生收取的运费的种类是什么,首先应定位至提及运费的第二篇文章,即小册子。 小册子的原文中提到“Pyros Biz Summer Brochure…Rhode Island”,即Pyros Biz公司位于罗德岛州,结尾部分提到“Reduced shipping fees are available for both national and foreign bulk orders(20 pieces minimum).”,即运费折扣适用于国内和国外的大宗订单(至少20件),由此可以确定第一条线索。然而凯利特先生打算配送的区域和打算购入的产品究竟有几件,原文中并未点明,因此应再看电子邮件中的相关内容。第一封电子邮件中提到“…we are set to open an additional branch in Rhode Island…”,即凯利特先生将在罗德岛州新开一家分店,之后又说“We are currently looking to buy 32 web cameras…”,即打算购入32个网络摄像头,由此可以确定第二条线索。 将第一条线索“运费折扣可适用于国内和国外的全部大宗订单(至少20件)”和第二条线索“凯利特先生将在罗德岛州新开一家分店并打算购入32个网络摄像头”综合起来考虑,可推知凯利特先生将被要求支付大宗国内费用。故(B)Bulk national fees为正确答案。
