愛(ài)爾蘭都柏林
親愛(ài)的先生們：
由于生產(chǎn)技術(shù)的改進(jìn)，當(dāng)需求量大時(shí)，我公司可以降低價(jià)格來(lái)提供改進(jìn)后的Drilite牌電池。
關(guān)于新價(jià)格的詳細(xì)信息已經(jīng)隨信寄出，貴方會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)我們的價(jià)格已經(jīng)降低了五個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。新價(jià)格是到都柏林港口的價(jià)格(包括成本、保險(xiǎn)和運(yùn)費(fèi))，所以很明顯我們的價(jià)格比其他生產(chǎn)同類(lèi)產(chǎn)品的廠家要低，在日本是這樣，同世界其他地方相比也是這樣的。我們一直保持良好的產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量，因?yàn)槲覀冎挥米詈玫幕瘜W(xué)材料。新的價(jià)格是從1月份開(kāi)始實(shí)行的，并且基于定購(gòu)金額在1000鎊以上的訂單。只要你們訂貨，我們就能保證立即發(fā)貨，因?yàn)闊o(wú)論你們什么時(shí)候要，我們都能很快地生產(chǎn)并充分滿(mǎn)足你們。
非常感謝貴公司和我們以前的貿(mào)易合作，希望我們?cè)谛碌囊荒昀锢^續(xù)合作。
您忠誠(chéng)的朋友，

答案及解析
C【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從文中第二段倒數(shù)第二句，The new prices are for the least orders of l，000 pounds and will begin from January
由此可知，新的價(jià)格是基于訂購(gòu)至少1000英鎊之上的，所以選項(xiàng)D符合原文的意思，是正確答案。
第22題單選修改
Which is NOT the reason of reduction of the price at 5 percent?
A.The Japanese.producer holds a large quantity of stores and can’t sell them out.
B.The Japanese have improved their production means.
C.They can turn out more products.
D.They expect to go on dealing with the Irish in the coming year.
參考答案：A
參考解析：A【解析】判斷推理題。文中給出了幾個(gè)原因：Improved ways of pr0·duction;turn out more products;and look forward to supplying you inthe new year at the new prices，等。文章說(shuō)的是，公司有能力立即大批量的生產(chǎn)，而不是說(shuō)由于庫(kù)存過(guò)多，賣(mài)不出去才迫于降價(jià)的。所以選項(xiàng)A(庫(kù)存太多，賣(mài)不出去)是不符合原文的意思的，故正確答案為A。
第23題單選修改
From the letter，we can know__________.
A.the two sides cooperated before
B.the Irish should pay for the transportation fee in terms of the new price
C.they use the best chemicals to improve the quality
D.they have enough storage that can supply at any time
參考答案：A
參考解析：A【解析】判斷推理題。由文章最后一段，We appreciate your pasldealing and cooperation(合作)with US.可知，在此之前他們之間有過(guò)貿(mào)易往來(lái)。所以選項(xiàng)A符合原文意思，是正確的答案。
第24題單選修改
Every year landslides(滑坡)cause 25 to 50 deaths and$1.5 billion in damage in the United States.They account for l5 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe.And there was ever a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines.Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars and cement(水泥)Can help prevent disasters，but it introduces new difficulties.Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy，dangerous debris(巖屑).
“It’s quite a risky job，”says Giorgio Pezzuto of D’Appolonia，an engineering company in Italy.
D’Appolonia，working with eight other companies，may have an answer：a three—ton robot called Roboclimber.“The idea is to operate a machine far away that Can drill without a human being on board，”says Pezzuto，the manager for the project，which is supported by the European Commigsion.Engineers claim that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor.The robot，a large radio—controlled four—legged mechanical spider，has cost at least$2 million so far.
The final product should be able to climb unstable mountainsides，drill holes，insert bars and cement，and collect data on the stability.Testing should begin in May.
{TS}The underlined word“event”(Paragraph l)refers to__________.
A.landslide
B.machine
C.earthquake
D.flood
參考答案：A
參考解析： 參考譯文
在美國(guó)，山體滑坡每年會(huì)造成25到50人死亡以及15億關(guān)元的經(jīng)濟(jì)損失。歐洲山體滑坡所造成的死亡占自然災(zāi)難死亡人數(shù)的15%。菲律賓的一次滑坡事件造成了200多人死亡。利用鋼筋、水泥加固山體的確可以預(yù)防滑坡，但這樣一來(lái)又會(huì)帶來(lái)新的問(wèn)題。鉆機(jī)不但會(huì)產(chǎn)生對(duì)人體有害的粉塵，而且還會(huì)使那些巨大且危險(xiǎn)的巖屑松動(dòng)。阿波羅尼亞(意大利一家工程公司)的職員佩茲朱特認(rèn)為，
“這是一項(xiàng)危險(xiǎn)的工作。”
阿波羅尼亞和另外八家公司一起為解決滑坡問(wèn)題設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)重三噸的機(jī)器人，還給機(jī)器人取名叫做羅伯克利波。該項(xiàng)目得到了歐盟委員會(huì)的支持，項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理是佩茲朱特，他說(shuō)：“這樣一來(lái)，在鉆機(jī)開(kāi)動(dòng)的時(shí)候，人就可以不用站在那兒了。”工程師們說(shuō)這個(gè)機(jī)器比人力工作更快速，更節(jié)約。該機(jī)器人是一個(gè)用無(wú)線電控制的巨大的機(jī)器蜘蛛，它到目前為止已經(jīng)花費(fèi)了最少兩百萬(wàn)美元了。該最終產(chǎn)品有望能在松垮的山坡上行走，能打洞，安放鋼條灌注水泥以及收集山坡穩(wěn)定性的數(shù)據(jù)。這種實(shí)驗(yàn)將在五月份進(jìn)行。.
答案及解析
A【解析】詞語(yǔ)釋義題。本文主要是談landsfide，一開(kāi)始就談?wù)搇and.slide的危害，并且舉例子說(shuō)在菲律賓一次就死了200多人。所以這里的event指代landslide。
第25題單選修改
What is the purpose in writing this text?
A.Telling people how serious the damage caused by landslides is.
B.Telling people that sending workers to stabilize mountainsides is a risky job.
C.Introducing a product that Can be used to stabilize mountainsides.
D.Showing people how to use a new product.
參考答案：C
參考解析：C【解析】主旨大意題。本文作者首先介紹了山體滑坡的危害，又說(shuō)明了普通的防護(hù)方法的不足，最后向大家推薦了一種新型的機(jī)器人，利用這種新型的滑坡?lián)岆U(xiǎn)產(chǎn)品，可以有效地防止危害的產(chǎn)生。所以主要的目的是介紹一種用于加固山體的產(chǎn)品。
第26題單選修改
What does the robot look like?
A.A human being.
B.A spider.
C.A truck.
D.A drill.
參考答案：B
參考解析：B【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。讀第二段第四句話(huà)，The robot，a large radio.controlled four—legged mechanical spider可知，這種新型的產(chǎn)品像一只大蜘蛛。所以正確的答案為B。
第27題單選修改
The biggest advantage of this product is that__________.
A.it will be faster and cheaper than manual labor
B.it can climb mountainsides，drill holes，insert bars and cement
C.it can collect data on the slope’s stability
D.it Can drill without a human being on board
參考答案：D
參考解析：D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。從第二段The idea is to operate a machine faraway that Can drill without a human being on board一句以及第一段講滑坡人工搶險(xiǎn)的危險(xiǎn)，可知這種產(chǎn)品的最大優(yōu)點(diǎn)就是無(wú)人操作的安全性。

2014年8月13日
親愛(ài)的先生們，
貴公司在2014年8月11日在《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》上刊登廣告要招聘秘書(shū)，我很高興想申請(qǐng)這個(gè)職位。
我一直在大學(xué)的辦公室從事秘書(shū)工作。我是辦公室內(nèi)唯一的秘書(shū)，所以在日常工作中，我就需要快速、有效及靈活地工作。教授們很欣賞我.認(rèn)為我滿(mǎn)足了他們的工作需要。
盡管我現(xiàn)在很高興，但是我感到在那里工作我沒(méi)有多大的晉升機(jī)會(huì)，我想找一個(gè)更具有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作。因此，我參加了一個(gè)國(guó)際貿(mào)易培訓(xùn)班來(lái)拓展自己的知識(shí)�，F(xiàn)在，我的英語(yǔ)和漢語(yǔ)都有很大的提高，所以我打算去一個(gè)像貴公司這樣的國(guó)際企業(yè)做雙語(yǔ)秘書(shū)。我相信我對(duì)貴公司的發(fā)展有很大幫助的。、
隨信附有我的簡(jiǎn)歷，里面有我能力的詳細(xì)介紹。如果貴公司能提供給我一個(gè)面試的機(jī)會(huì)的.話(huà)。我不勝感激。我期望能收到您的電話(huà)，我的電話(huà)是62428866，或者用隨信寄去的預(yù)付費(fèi)的卡片給我回復(fù)。

您衷心的李·瑪利
答案及解析
B【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。題目詢(xún)問(wèn)“作者想要換工作的原因是什么。”從文章的第三段第一句話(huà)，Although I atn happy now，I feel thatmy promotion(晉升)is limited here.可知在原來(lái)的單位工作，作者沒(méi)有多大的晉升機(jī)會(huì)。所以想換一個(gè)有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作，所以正確的答案為B。
第29題單選修改

A.operate a computer
B.do the job efficiently

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
參考答案：B
