MEMORANDUM (备忘录)
To: All members of the sales department
From: Annette Derringer
Re: 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 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the evening of December 21st. I’ve received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you haven’t let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company.
The Green Vale manager has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before. Basically, there is sufficient parking space for only 100 vehicles, so they would like to ask those of you planning to drive, try to car-pool 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

Subject: Year-end party
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annette,
This is to let you know that I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on the 21st although I don’t think I will be able to arrive before 8:30. 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 I know they’d love to see the Green Vale. If it is not a problem, then can you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets? Also, assuming this is OK, I was planning to drive down in a single car, to reduce the need for parking and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the car.
I have a couple of days off before the party, but I’ll be in my office until the 17th, so could you get back to me before then? Thanks a lot,
Kyle

【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B
【解析】
这是两篇应用文。第一个是公司发的备忘录，提醒员工关于年会的相关事宜，第二个是职员的回信，咨询一些额外事情。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。由整个备忘录以及第一段的第一句话“This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month’s year-end party.”可知，这个备忘录是让大家知道下个月举行的年会的安排。相当于跟大家解释一项活动的安排，故选A。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。结合第二封信件里的“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 I know they’d love to see the Green Vale.”可知，Kyle Berwick知道这个请求有点晚，但是他的兄弟和妻子在那个时候来，他们也想去。所以，可以判断，他是在询问是否可以带客人来。故选D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据备忘录里的内容Basically, there is sufficient parking space for only 100 vehicles, so they would like to ask those of you planning to drive, try to car-pool as much as possible. 可知，the Green Vale方面建议开车去的人最好拼车，并没有提及经理不允许开车，所以排除A项；根据From: Annette Derringer和I’ve received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you haven’t let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two.可知，备忘录是Annette发的，而且她希望其他人能告知她是否能够确认参加，可以推断相关事务是由她来负责；根据Also, the number of lockers available is small, so guests should try to keep belongings to a minimum.可知，由于the Green Vale储物柜数量有限，所以建议大家尽量少带东西，而不是多带，所以排除C项。由第二则信函If it is not a problem, then can you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets?可知，Kyle Berwick愿意就另外邀请的客人而付门票，不是不愿意，所以排除D项。故选B。
