单选题 Why has the meeting been scheduled?
A. To evaluate competitors
B. To review progress
C. To analyze markets
D. To research new services
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】这是一篇与会议议程相关的文章。这道题问的是“为什么要开此次会议”，即“会议的目的”。我们注意一下会议的标题，由“UpdateConference”可知，这是一次共享或交流最新信息的会议，所以是(B)。通常情况下，会议通知是以文本形式出现的。但是这里却列出了议程安排，所以我们要通过标题推测其内容。
单选题 What should visiting participants do upon arrival?
A. Contact security personnel
B. Wait for staff assistance
C. Sign in to the visitors' logbook
D. Submit their corporate ID cards
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】这里问的是“出席人员抵达后应该做什么”。因为考试中经常会考到与“提示信息及注意事项”相关的问题，所以我们千万不能漏掉!我们看一下文中唯一一段成文的部分，这里提到“Kiozawa IT Corp．personnel please remain in the Southern Insurance lobby to beescorted in by the receptionist Ms．Haversack stationed there”，所以是(B)。在解这类题目时，迅速找出对原文进行“同义替换”的选项是至关重要的。
单选题 According to the agenda, who will deal with staff issues?
A. Mike Singh
B. Pradip Sharma
C. John Brokowitz
D. Bunko Saito
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】这道题的关键词是“staff issues”，即我们需要从议程安排中找出与其对应的内容。所谓“员工”就是“公司职员”，只要明白这一点，找出“Personnel(公司职员)”就很容易了。由文中可知，负责“Personnel training and consulting”的是“Mike Singh”，因此就是(A)。遇到这类表格形式的文章，我们应该先抓住问题的关键词，这样才能有效地找出相应的内容，迅速作答。
