【答案解析】初级问题 (第一篇文章)电子邮件的主题或目的通常会在文章的开头予以提示。第二句we have worked very hard to improve the employee exercise facility(我们努力地改善雇员的运动设施)包含了主题。文章接着又讲了运动设施改善和使用方法变更等内容，因此可以推知这封邮件的目的是向员工传达这些内容。

【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】中级问题 (第一篇文章)这道题是196题的延伸。想要传达的内容是健身中心(fitness center)的变动事项。这种情况下，通常会将具体的变动事项置于醒目的位置。这篇文章里则用圆点予以强调。当你看到，健身中心会延长3个小时的开馆时间(fitness center will be open extra three more hours)，正确答案就出来了。选项(A)、(B)、(D)和文章无关。
单选题
What will happen from December 1st? A. Fee will increase from $40 to $45 per month. B. New equipment will be delivered. C. All of the employees will attend training classes. D. Fitness center will be closed.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】高级问题 (第一篇文章)问题的关键词是“12月1日(December 1st)”，只要在文章中找到与其相关的内容就可以推出正确答案了。文中说，在12月1日以前(before December)注册的新老会员每月仅需缴纳40美元($40/month)，而从12月1日开始(on December 1st)，每个月要缴纳45美元。因此可以推知从12月1日开始会费上涨。

What must new comers do to use this facility? A. Submit a health certificate B. Take the safety training session first C. Attend an initial interview with a trainer D. Register for a one-year membership
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】中级问题 (第二篇文章)这道问题考查Reminders的细节。句子里如果有Reminders(提醒，备忘)、Note(注意)、Remember(请记住)这样的单词，会经常出一些考查细节的问题，因此要细心审视内容。文中提到“新会员在使用健身器材之前要接受安全运动培训(to complete a new safety training class)”，因此正确答案是选项(B)。
