单选题Questions 141-143 refer to the following memorandum. It is my deepest regret (141) you that the Board of Directors has agreed to require a two-week unpaid leave for all employees in order to avoid an operation budget deficit. The company is facing a serious crisis (142) poor profits over the past three quarters. The budget is short by about $7 million and, according to our company policy, the budget must be balanced by September 30, which is the end of this fiscal year. It is (143) for all employees to give up two weeks' pay in order to put a halt to the budget crisis. Employees are to speak to their managers regarding setting up the two weeks that are convenient for them. I am genuinely sorry for the need to take such radical measures to end the current emergency, but with your cooperation, we can overcome this situation.

单选题From: Sam GentryTo: Bridgette KuhnSubject: For the "Get to Know Us" section of the websiteHi Bridgette, I've been put in charge of building the "Get to Know Us" page on the new website, and I came up with the idea of including a personal photo and favorite quote for everyone. I've enlisted the help of Janet Derbish to collect this material, and she's already spoken with more than 20 people. However, what she's found is a lot of them don't have any personal photos available that they'd like to post on the website. So, I thought that we might have a group photo shoot one day this week to collect images of everyone in the office. Someone mentioned to me that you have a degree in photojournalism, and I was wondering if you might be interested in taking charge of the shoot. Please let me know soon if you're able to do this. - Sam From: Bridgette Kuhn To: Sam Gentry Subject: Re: For the "Get to Know Us" section of the website Hi Sam, What a great idea about posting photos of everyone on the new website! I think that will give it a real personal touch. To answer your question, though, I actually studied journalism in college, not photojournalism. In fact, the only camera I own is the one on my phone! So I don't think I'm the best person to spearhead the photo shoot. But if you're still looking for someone, I can recommend one of my colleagues here in the IT department: Jorge Morales. He is a gifted amateur photographer and runs an online shop in his spare time through which he sells his photos. His extension is 204 if you'd like to talk to him yourself, or I can have him call you. Also, I haven't been contacted by Ms. Derbish yet, but I do have a personal photo that I wouldn't mind contributing to the webpage, which I'll attach to this email. And here is my favorite quote, by William James: "The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook." Let me know if you need anything else. - Bridgette

单选题To: Leonard Ellis From: Donna Hayes Date: February 9 Subject: Egyptian Odyssey Dear Mr. Ellis, I looked over the brochure you sent me last week, and I must say that I was quite impressed with the wide variety of tour packages that your travel agency offers. I became particularly interested in the Red Sea Escape, but since one of my traveling companions has already been to the Red Sea, I opted for the Egyptian Odyssey, instead. However, when I looked it up on your Web site to find out more, I became somewhat confused since your Web site contains information that is different from what is in the brochure. The online advertisements stated that the visit to the Valley of the Kings and the Hatshepsut Temple takes place on the third day of the tour, not on the fifth day, as was indicated in your brochure. Can you let me know which is correct? The schedule will influence whether or not my friends and I will book the tour. Meanwhile, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with a quotation for the Egyptian Odyssey tour for six people by tomorrow afternoon. Since we are planning to travel early next month, we would like to get all of the arrangements sorted out as soon as possible. Furthermore, I would also like to ask what the weather will be like in that area around the time of our trip. We would like to make sure to bring the right kind of clothing. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon. Donna Hayes To: Donna Hayes From: Leonard Ellis Date: February 10 Subject: Re: Egyptian Odyssey Dear Ms. Hayes, The tour schedules on the brochure are correct. The other schedules you saw were the result of an error made by our marketing staff. We sincerely apologize for the discrepancy. I have prepared a quotation for six people for the tour you requested, but a network problem has been preventing me from attaching the file to this e-mail. If you are able to read this by noon today, please reply with your fax number. That way, I can send you the file this afternoon, as you asked. You can also just call me directly at 555-9617. As for your other concerns, you could not have picked a better time to travel to Egypt as the weather is quite ideal for sightseeing. Bringing along some cool, light clothing should suffice, unless you plan to dine out at one of the city's finer restaurants. For that purpose, one set of smart casual clothing will do. Thank you. Sincerely, Leonard Ellis

After reviewing in detail the specifications for the job, I believe I am an eligible candidate. My 12-year career in graphic design began with the firm Vista Solutions, where I interned as a recent college graduate.

单选题Questions 177-180 refer to the following excerpt from a brochure. Welcome to the Fairchild Tropical Hotel Built by a botanist James Koster, the first use of the building was as a dormitory on the Florida International University campus. Considering that James Koster donated more than $5 million for educational activities in his lifetime, that fact is not a surprise. Converted to the Fairchild Tropical Hotel in 1936, the building now stands at the center of the Fairchild Tropical Garden. Guests still marvel at the waterfall and the marble fountains in the lobby of Tropical Hotel. Galleries, museums, and the Florida International University Academy of Botany are only a short walk away.
