单选题

单选题 What is the purpose of the letter?

A、 To ask for a billing statement
B、 To apologize for overcharging
C、 To request a payment
D、 To place an order

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 主旨题目的
本题问的是这封信的写作目的，因此需要注意信件的前半部分。开头提到“This is a second reminder that your account with us is past due.”，即这是第二次发给对方的账户欠款逾期未还的通知单，之后又说“Please settle your account before August 1.”，即要求对方8月1日前将账户欠款还清。因此可知C. To request a payment是正确答案。

单选题 What is indicated in the letter?

A、 Transatlantic Imports is open seven days a week.
B、 Mr. Nikolaidis has already mailed in his payment.
C、 Transatlantic Imports operates a collection agency.
D、 Mr. Nikolaidis has been previously contacted.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 判断正误题
本题应将选项中的语句带回到原文中去查找并判断正误。文中提到“Our office is open from Monday to Friday...and on Saturday...”，即Transatlantic Imports公司的办公室从周一开放到周六，所以A和原文不一致，不是正确选项。B和C在文段中均未被提及。文中提到“This is a second reminder that your account with us is past due.”，即已经第二次发给对方账户欠款逾期未还的通知单，由此可知尼古拉迪斯先生之前已经收到过一次这样的通知单了。所以正确答案是D. Mr. Nikolaidis has been previously contacted.。
