愛爾蘭都柏林
親愛的先生們：
由于生產技術的改進，當需求量大時，我公司可以降低價格來提供改進后的Drilite牌電池。
關于新價格的詳細信息已經隨信寄出，貴方會發現我們的價格已經降低了五個百分點。新價格是到都柏林港口的價格(包括成本、保險和運費)，所以很明顯我們的價格比其他生產同類產品的廠家要低，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品質量，因為我們只用最好的化學材料。新的價格是從1月份開始實行的，并且基于定購金額在1000鎊以上的訂單。只要你們訂貨，我們就能保證立即發貨，因為無論你們什么時候要，我們都能很快地生產并充分滿足你們。
非常感謝貴公司和我們以前的貿易合作，希望我們在新的一年里繼續合作。
您忠誠的朋友，
Nipponex電器公司
答案及解析
C【解析】事實細節題。從文中第二段倒數第二句，The new prices are for the least orders of l，000 pounds and will begin from January
由此可知，新的價格是基于訂購至少1000英鎊之上的，所以選項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。文章說的是，公司有能力立即大批量的生產，而不是說由于庫存過多，賣不出去才迫于降價的。所以選項A(庫存太多，賣不出去)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貿易往來。所以選項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，山體滑坡每年會造成25到50人死亡以及15億關元的經濟損失。歐洲山體滑坡所造成的死亡占自然災難死亡人數的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防滑坡，但這樣一來又會帶來新的問題。鉆機不但會產生對人體有害的粉塵，而且還會使那些巨大且危險的巖屑松動。阿波羅尼亞(意大利一家工程公司)的職員佩茲朱特認為，
“這是一項危險的工作。”
阿波羅尼亞和另外八家公司一起為解決滑坡問題設計了一個重三噸的機器人，還給機器人取名叫做羅伯克利波。該項目得到了歐盟委員會的支持，項目經理是佩茲朱特，他說：“這樣一來，在鉆機開動的時候，人就可以不用站在那兒了。”工程師們說這個機器比人力工作更快速，更節約。該機器人是一個用無線電控制的巨大的機器蜘蛛，它到目前為止已經花費了最少兩百萬美元了。該最終產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定性的數據。這種實驗將在五月份進行。.
答案及解析
A【解析】詞語釋義題。本文主要是談landsfide，一開始就談論land.slide的危害，并且舉例子說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，又說明了普通的防護方法的不足，最后向大家推薦了一種新型的機器人，利用這種新型的滑坡搶險產品，可以有效地防止危害的產生。所以主要的目的是介紹一種用于加固山體的產品。
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】細節理解題。讀第二段第四句話，The robot，a large radio.controlled four—legged mechanical spider可知，這種新型的產品像一只大蜘蛛。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】細節判斷題。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的危險，可知這種產品的最大優點就是無人操作的安全性。

2014年8月13日
親愛的先生們，
貴公司在2014年8月11日在《中國日報》上刊登廣告要招聘秘書，我很高興想申請這個職位。
我一直在大學的辦公室從事秘書工作。我是辦公室內唯一的秘書，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.認為我滿足了他們的工作需要。
盡管我現在很高興，但是我感到在那里工作我沒有多大的晉升機會，我想找一個更具有挑戰性的工作。因此，我參加了一個國際貿易培訓班來拓展自己的知識。現在，我的`英語和漢語都有很大的提高，所以我打算去一個像貴公司這樣的國際企業做雙語秘書。我相信我對貴公司的發展有很大幫助的。、
隨信附有我的簡歷，里面有我能力的詳細介紹。如果貴公司能提供給我一個面試的機會的話。我不勝感激。我期望能收到您的電話，我的電話是62428866，或者用隨信寄去的預付費的卡片給我回復。
謝謝您的翻閱。
您衷心的李·瑪利
答案及解析
B【解析】事實細節題。題目詢問“作者想要換工作的原因是什么。”從文章的第三段第一句話，Although I atn happy now，I feel thatmy promotion(晉升)is limited here.可知在原來的單位工作，作者沒有多大的晉升機會。所以想換一個有挑戰性的工作，所以正確的答案為B。
第29題單選修改
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
參考答案：C
參考解析：C【解析】詞語釋義題。題目詢問“在第三段第四行的‘a bilingualsecretary’不同于別的秘書，在于這種秘書能怎樣”。從文章的第三段第三句話，…both my English and Chinese have been im—proved…可知，a bilingual secretary能通曉兩種語言，這就是不同于一般秘書的地方。同時，本題考查考生對詞語意思的猜測能力。如果知道“bilingual”的意思是“雙語的、能說兩種語言的”，這道題就容易多了。所以正確的答案為C。
第30題單選修改
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
參考答案：B
參考解析：B【解析】推理判斷題。題目詢問“寫這封信，作者的目的是什么?”從文章的最后一段的第一句話1 would appreciate it if you couldgive me an opportunity to have all interview.可知，作者想要一次面試的機會。從常識來看，寫求職信的目的就是希望能得到一次面試的機會，所以本題的正確的答案為B。
