Subject: The Water Quality Conference in Jacksonville
Flight.doc(2KB)
Dear Mr. John Davidson,
Regarding the trip to the conference in Jacksonville, Florida, I have looked for flights on the Internet and found out a few possibilities that we could use. You had indicated that you wanted to fly to Destin but that might not be the best plan. Although it is a cheaper flight, we'd then have to take a bus to Jacksonville, which would take a long time. I'd prefer to fly directly to Jacksonville. Also, the morning flight would be ideal. We would have time in the afternoon to see the capital of Florida, Tallahassee. Please see the attachment and let me know what you prefer.
We also need to reserve hotel rooms. The conference organizer informed me that the Europa Hotel does not have rooms available until the beginning of May. It is very disappointing because staying at the same hotel where the conference is being held would be convenient for us.
However, there are other options. Western Phoenix Hotel and Victoria Park Plaza Hotel are within walking distance. If they are full, there is the Corona Hotel. Would you mind arranging a hotel room for us? The hotel phone numbers are on the conference web site. We'll have to reserve 5 days. The conference is from April 26 to 28, but we should try to arrive in Jacksonville on April 25 and leave on April 29.
Best regards,
Peter Plate

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】初级问题

A. AVA American 1415
B. ANA Airlines 5012

D. Air Train 823
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】中级问题
(第一篇文章+第二篇文章)第一篇文章中提到最好乘坐直达Jacksonville的飞机，并且建议乘坐上午的航班(the morning flight would be ideal)。在第二篇文中找到满足这两个条件的航班，只有AVA American 1451才是上午的直达Jacksonville的航班。
单选题 Where will the conference be Held?
A. At the Europa hotel
B. At the Western Phoenix Hotel
C. At the Victoria Park Plaza Hotel
D. At the Corona Hotel
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】高级问题
(第一篇文章)这道题需要把握作者在委托收件人预订宾馆时，所提到的关于会议地点的内容。必须把握细节内容并进行推理。文中说“对Europa Hotel里没有房间这个事实表示失望的原因是不能够在开会的宾馆里住宿”，因此可以得知开会地点是Europa Hotel。
单选题 What does Mr. Peter Plate ask Mr. John Davidson to do?
A. Contact the conference organizer
B. Send the participants the relevant information
C. Cancel hotel reservations using the phone
D. Make a hotel reservation
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】中级问题
(第一篇文章)这道题考查细节内容。Peter Plate在邮件中委托John Davidson 说，“Would you mind arranging hotel rooms for us?(您可以帮我们预订宾馆吗?)”也就是委托预订宾馆的意思。正确答案是(D)Make a hotel reservation(预订宾馆)。
单选题 When will the conference end?
A. On April 25
B. On April 26
C. On April 28
D. On April 29
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】初级问题
(第一篇文章)文中说：The conference is from April 26 to 28．(会议从4月26日到4月28日。)因此可以知道会议是在4月28日结束。4月29日是离开Jacksonville的日期，不是正确答案。4月25日是到达Jacksonville的日期，4月26日是会议开始的日期。这道问题只要找到出现April的地方就可以找到正确答案了。
