【答案解析】中级问题
本题考查的是使用定制名片的优点而不是利用第一印象印刷公司得到的好处。关键是把出现customized business cards的句子统统找到,然后从中找出它的优点到底是什么。一般来说,核心词所在句不会超过2~3句。通过第一段第一句(Make your contact information more memorable to business associates)就能轻松找到答案。
单选题 What is provided for free?
A. Flyers B. Brochures
C. Business cardsD. Greeting cards
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】初级问题
本题4个选项原文中都有涉及到。关键词是for free。如果我们知道for free是“免费”,而且形容词free本身就有“免费的”这个意思,那么就能一眼找到文章最后一段涉及到For free samples of business cards(免费名片样本)的这句话。另外,关于选项(A)、(B)、(D)的Flyers,Brochures,Greeting cards,文章最后一句提到“可在网上了解到更多信息(get more information)”而不是免费提供。
单选题 What is NOT stated about First Impression Printing?
A. It uses state-of-the-art printing technology to provide high-quality services.
B. Its prices are as low as other printer's prices.
C. An extensive selection of design is available.
D. Most orders are delivered in about 3 business days.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】中级问题
本题考查的是有关第一印象印刷公司的内容。如果你已经理解文章所有内容,那么这道题没有太大难度,但如果考生感觉短时间内准确把握这篇文章有些困难的话,那这道题就比较伤脑筋了。不过考生可以这样试试。像这种广告类的文章,首先从广告标题得到有关公司的简单信息,然后看看文中有没有一目了然列举公司特点的部分,仔细阅读这一部分。简单陈述第一印象印刷公司特点的句子出现在第二个文段的第五条,Express 48-hour delivery service for orders(48小时送货服务),由此可知,订货两天内送到而不是3天后,所以(D)项错误。
