阅读理解 Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. June 5, 2014 Dear Mr. Blake, It was very enjoyable to speak with you about the assistant account manager position at the Smith & Smith Co. Ltd. The job seems to be a very good match for my skills and interests. In addition to my keen interest, I will bring to the position strong writing skills and the ability to encourage others to work well with the department. My art background will help me to work with artists on staff and provide me with an understanding of the artistic aspects of our work. I understand your need for office work support. My basic trainings and organizational skills will help to free you to deal with larger issues. I neglected to mention during my interview that I had worked for two summers as a part-time office worker. This experience helped me to develop my skills as an office secretary. I appreciate the time you took to interview me. I am very interested in working for you and look forward to hearing from you about this position. Best regards, John Smith

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】事实细节题。本题询问约翰?史密斯申请的工作岗位是什么。根据第一段第一句“非常开心在Smith&Smith有限公司与您就助理客户经理一职交谈”,C项“助理客户经理”与该句中的assistant account manager position一致,故为答案。 A项“办公室秘书”在第二段最后一句提到,这是作者在暑期做的兼职工作。B项“首席艺术官”和D项“生产部经理”没有在原文中提及,故排除。
单选题 The writer believes that he will be able to bring to the position ______.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】事实细节题。本题询问作者认为他将能够带给职位什么。根据bring to the position定位到第一段第三句,该句提及“除了浓厚的兴趣,还将给该职位带来较强的写作技能和鼓励他人与部门良好合作的能力”。A项“写作技能”是其中一项,故为答案。 B项“积极的态度”、C项“创造性思维”、D项“海外经验”在这封信中都没有提及,均排除。
单选题 The writer believes that his art background is helpful ______.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】事实细节题。本题询问作者认为他的艺术背景对什么有帮助。根据题干中的art background查找第一段末句,该句提到他的艺术背景有助于他与艺术家员工工作,D项“与艺术家员工合作”与原文一致,故为答案。 A项“鼓励人们努力工作”、B项“为公司培训员工”C项“改进会计核算工作”在文中均未提及,故排除。
单选题 The writer said that during the interview he forgot to mention ______.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】事实细节题。本题询问作者在面试时,忘了提及什么。题干中的forgot to mention对应第二段第三句中的neglected to mention,该句提到,他在面试中忘了提他兼职做过两个夏天的办公室工作。C项“他在办公室兼职的工作经验”与之一致,故为答案。 office secretary在第二段最后一句提到,但没有提到接受了相关培训,故A项“办公室秘书的培训经历”无从判断。B项“感谢让他参加面试”在第三段首句提到,D项“对公司艺术性工作的理解”在第一段末句提到,但都不是作者面试时忘记提及的内容,故排除B项和D项。
单选题 John Smith writes this letter in order to ______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】主旨大意题。本题询问作者写这封信的目的。原文最后一段首句说:“非常感谢您花时间面试我。”故B项“对工作面试官表示感谢”是这封信的写作目的。 首句提到,非常开心在Smith&Smith有限公司与您就助理客户经理一职交谈,由此可知面试已完成,故A项“询问面试日期”和C项“要求推迟面试”不对。信中没有提到complain,因此D项“抱怨面试”不对。
