单选题 To: Curtis Freeman From: Jodi Grant Date: May 30 Subject: Excellent Course I am responding to your request for comments and feedback on Hyperion's classes this month. I saw the advertisement on the Internet and signed up for the class that began on May 5. I thought it would be very useful for me, as I work in the hospitality industry and am planning to open a new restaurant this coming fall. I have to say that I was not disappointed at all with the class. I learned a lot after completing the last session a few days ago. I found the lessons taught in each session to be informative and helpful. I gained a lot of insight and ideas that I will use for my upcoming business venture. The instructor, Mr. Alex Hernandez, was very patient and innovative in his teaching approach. Also, I heard great things about the class on storage space taught by Laura Palmer. I was wondering if you will be offering this class again. If so, please let me know as I am very interested in attending. Thanks again, and you can be assured that I will refer your center to my colleagues. Sincerely, Jodi Grant [*]

单选题 What is indicated about Ms. Grant in the e-mail?
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】解析:本题需要在第一封电子邮件中搜索题目核心词Ms.Grant的相关内容并与选项进行对照。邮件中提到“I saw the advertisement on the Internet…”,即在网上看到了这则广告,因此(A)与原文内容不一致。(B)在原文中未被提及。邮件中提到“…signed up for the class that began on May 5.”,即注册5月5日开始的课程,并没有提及注册其他课程,故(C)与原文内容不一致。邮件中提到“…as I work in the hospitality industry and am planning to open a new restaurant…”,即格兰特女士从事服务业,而且正在计划开一家新的餐厅,故(D)与原文内容一致。因此(D)She plans to open a new business.为正确答案。
单选题 Who most likely taught a class on pricing?
【正确答案】 D
【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。题目是问谁最有可能讲授关于制定价格的讲座。首先应定位至提及与讲座相关的内容的第二篇日程表。 日程表中提到“May 5,10:00 A.M…Teaches the creation of profitable and affordable prices for menu items…”,即5月5日开始的讲座是关于保证利润的情况下制定合适的菜单价格,由此可以确定第一条线索。然而讲座由谁讲授并未点明,因此应再看第一封邮件的相关内容。邮件中提到“…signed up for the class that began on May 5.”,即格兰特女士注册了5月5日开始的讲座,接着后文中又提到“The instructor,Mr.Alex Hernandez,was very patient and innovative in his teaching approach.”,即讲座的主讲人亚历克斯·赫尔南德斯先生非常耐心,授课方式也很新颖,由此可以得到第二条线索“格兰特女士注册的5月5日开始的讲座是由亚历克斯·赫尔南德斯先生主讲的”。 将第一条线索“5月5日开始的讲座是关于制定合适的菜单价格的讲座”和第二条线索“讲座的主讲人是亚历克斯·赫尔南德斯先生”综合起来考虑,可以推知亚历克斯·赫尔南德斯先生是关于价格制定讲座的主讲人。因此(D)Alex Hernandez为正确答案。
单选题 What is mentioned about the class on safety and sanitation?

单选题 What time does the course on equipment use start?
