解析●試卷(四)

　　Part ⅠWriting

　　A Letter of Application

　　Dear Sir,

　　I was pleased to see your ad in the Yangze Evening on Feb. 12, 2008 for a secretary. In July this year I will receive my Bachelor’s degree in International Business from Nanjing University, and I would like to be considered for the post.

　　I believe I could do satisfactory work for your company because both my education and work experience have been in line with the duties you outlined in your ad. As a result of my excellence in my study, I have been awarded best prizes in my university every year. Although my major is concerned with Business, I have indulged myself in acquiring all kinds of knowledge and I am particularly interested in English and Computer technologies. I have already passed CET-4 and CET-6 with excellent results and I am quite skillful in the use of computers.

　　Besides, I have also taken an active part in social practice so as to keep in touch with the current society and gain some working experiences. I have worked for two summers as an English interpreter at some travel services and I have gained some part-time working experiences in some IT company in Zhujiang Road, “a silicon valley” of Nanjing. I think my experience will be of benefit to my future career.

　　I would deeply appreciate a chance to join your company because your company is well-known in the world. I will be pleased if you think that I am qualified for further considerations and I will be available for an interview any time at your convenience.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming

　　2. N 根據digital ink 將本題定位于第三段，但是注意本題將該段倒數第二句中的unless 改成了when, 意義大大改變，因此答案為N。

　　3. Y 可以根據iPod 將本題定位于文章第五段，本題是這一段大意的概括。

　　4. NG 文章第八段提到了中國公司準備推出數字閱讀器，但題目中的信息文中卻未提及。

　　5. Sony (Company) 本題是細節理解題，解題依據為第四段第一句“Sony is the first major player to take advantage of the technology.”該句中的the technology指的是上一段中的the “digital ink” technology。
