  1.The writer wants to change her job because__________.

  A.she has difficulties handling her daily work efficiently

  B.she call hardly get a chance to be promoted

  C.she finds her present job too challenging

  D.she is tired of her duties at the college

  参考答案:B

  答案及解析

  B【解析】事实细节题。题目询问“作者想要换工作的原因是什么。”从文章的第三段第一句话,Although I atn happy now,I feel thatmy promotion(晋升)is limited here.可知在原来的单位工作,作者没有多大的晋升机会。所以想换一个有挑战性的工作,所以正确的答案为B。

  2.A bilingual secretary(Line 4,Paragraph 3)differs from other secretaries in that he or she can__________.

  A.operate a computer

  B.do the job efficiently

  C.speak two languages

  D.write official documents

  参考答案:C

  参考解析:C【解析】词语释义题。题目询问“在第三段第四行的‘a bilingualsecretary’不同于别的秘书,在于这种秘书能怎样”。从文章的第三段第三句话,…both my English and Chinese have been im—proved…可知,a bilingual secretary能通晓两种语言,这就是不同于一般秘书的地方。同时,本题考查考生对词语意思的猜测能力。如果知道“bilingual”的意思是“双语的、能说两种语言的”,这道题就容易多了。所以正确的答案为C。

  3.By sending this letter,the writer expected to__________.

  A.draw the attention of the company

  B.get an opportunity for an interview

  C.apply for a suitable position in China Daily

  D.obtain more information about the company

  参考答案:B

  参考解析:B【解析】推理判断题。题目询问“写这封信,作者的目的是什么?”从文章的最后一段的第一句话1 would appreciate it if you couldgive me an opportunity to have all interview.可知,作者想要一次面试的机会。从常识来看,写求职信的目的就是希望能得到一次面试的机会,所以本题的正确的答案为B。

  参考译文

  2014年8月13日

  亲爱的先生们,

  贵公司在2014年8月11日在《中国日报》上刊登广告要招聘秘书,我很高兴想申请这个职位。

  我一直在大学的办公室从事秘书工作。我是办公室内唯一的秘书,所以在日常工作中,我就需要快速、有效及灵活地工作。教授们很欣赏我.认为我满足了他们的工作需要。

  尽管我现在很高兴,但是我感到在那里工作我没有多大的晋升机会,我想找一个更具有挑战性的工作。因此,我参加了一个国际贸易培训班来拓展自己的知识。现在,我的英语和汉语都有很大的提高,所以我打算去一个像贵公司这样的国际企业做双语秘书。我相信我对贵公司的发展有很大帮助的。、

  随信附有我的简历,里面有我能力的详细介绍。如果贵公司能提供给我一个面试的机会的话。我不胜感激。我期望能收到您的电话,我的电话是62428866,或者用随信寄去的预付费的卡片给我回复。

  谢谢您的翻阅。

  您衷心的李·玛利
