Memorandum（備忘錄） To: Members of all departments From: Annette Derringer Subject: Year-end party Date: November 26

This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month’s year-end party. As you know, the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club, which we have reserved between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the evening of December 21st. 1 have received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you have not let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company. The manager of Green Vale has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before. Basically, there is enough parking space for only 100 vehicles, so he would like to ask those of you planning to drive to try car pool（拼車）as much as possible. Also, the number of lockers available is small, so guests should try to keep belongings to a ,minimum. Thanks in advance, Annette

To: Annette Derringer aderringer@belway.com From: Kype Berwick Subject: Year-end party Date: November 28

Annette, I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on December 21st although I do not think I will be able to arrive before 7:30. I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests. I know it is a bit of a last-minute request, but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time, and they would love to see the Green Vale. If it is not a problem, then could you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets? Also, assuming this is OK, we are planning to drive down in a single car to reduce the need for paring and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the ear. I will have a couple of days off before the party, and I will not be in my office December 17th, so could you get back to me before then? Thanks a lot, Kyle

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）D
（3）B
【解析】本文是有兩小篇類似于書信形式的備忘錄組成的，第一篇備忘錄是 Annette Derringer寫的，主要是通知公司員工，公司將在12月21日這一天會(huì)在Green Vale Country Club舉行公司年會(huì)及其相關(guān)事宜。第二篇是由 Kype Berwick寫的，類似于回信。 Kype Berwick主要詢問一些關(guān)于公司年會(huì)的相關(guān)事項(xiàng)，向Annette Derringer提出了一些私人的請(qǐng)求，并且渴望盡早收到答復(fù)。

（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本題可以采取排除法，根據(jù)“the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club, which we have reserved between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the evening of December 21st”可知公司年會(huì)在12月21日舉辦；根據(jù)“there is enough parking space for only 100 vehicles, so he would like to ask those of you planning to drive to try car pool（拼車）as much as possible”可知停車位有限；根據(jù)“ the number of lockers available is small”。可知存放私人物品的儲(chǔ)物柜有限。故選A。

（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests”可知，Kyle Berwick給Annette Derringer寫信主要是詢問能否帶客人去參加公司的年會(huì)。故選D。

（3）推理判斷題。通讀全文，根據(jù)“This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month’s year-end party”以及“I have received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you have not let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company”可知Annette Derringer主要是在向公司的員工通知有關(guān)公司年會(huì)的相關(guān)事宜，所以可以推斷Annette Derringer負(fù)責(zé)本次年會(huì)的安排工作。故選B。
