【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 86-88
Thank you for coming today to our focus group session. I'm Turmila Dreifort, director of product development. As you know, we asked each of you to participate in this discussion because you purchased ABE mattresses from our company in the last six months. We want to know what you think of them. Before we begin the discussion. I'm going to hand out a questionnaire. It has just a few basic questions about the quality of your sleeping experience since you bought our mattresses. The main thing we want to know is "Do you sleep better now?" and if you do, which we certainly hope is the case. “How much better?”
中级问题
一般文章的目的或主题经常在前面出现,但是本段文章谈到目的的部分比较靠后。我们也可以通过前面的蛛丝马迹推测,在提到想知道具体意见之前,我们通过邀请最近购买过商品的消费者来参加会议这件事,可以推测出会议的意图是什么。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】初级问题
文章中直接提到了mattresses,所以选择正确答案比较简单。万一没有注意到的话,也可以通过the quality of sleeping experience(睡眠质量),Do you sleep better now(你现在睡觉怎么样)等内容来推测出答案。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】高级问题
本题是那种只要准确掌握了特定部分就会非常容易的类型。经常会有题目的答案只出现一次而不再重复的情况,所以一定要注意不要错过任何部分。如果在文章整体内容中把握了召开会议的目的和理由(听取消费者关于商品的意见),可以非常容易地找到答案。
