Dear Sir,

Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare.Your company, Cosmo books Ltd , offered this set ( eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at a “remarkable” price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time, and these books looked particularly attractive, so I sent for them.

Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered.So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare.Two more weeks passed.Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French.Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all.However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you right away instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.

You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German.Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have.The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.

Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment.Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.

Yours faithfully,

SIMON WALKER

試題分析:這篇文章是一封投訴信,作者訂了一套莎士比亞的作品集,但是送來的還有其他不需要的書,給作者帶來很多困擾。

1.細(xì)節(jié)題:從第二段的句子:so I wrote to you right away instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.可知Simon Walker寫這封信是讓Cosmo Books Ltd.來把他沒有訂的書拿走。選D

2.細(xì)節(jié)題:從第一段的句子:I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare.可知廣告是莎士比亞的作品集,選B

3.細(xì)節(jié)題:從第二段的句子:So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare.可知作者對沒有預(yù)定的書采取過措施。選A

考點:考查日常生活類短文

點評:本文以細(xì)節(jié)題的考查為主,細(xì)節(jié)題是針對文中某個細(xì)節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設(shè)置問題,正確答案的根據(jù)一定可以在原文中找到,即原文的改寫往往成為正確選項。通常細(xì)節(jié)題的正確選項有以下特征:對原文句子中的關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)行替換。把原文中的一些詞換成意義相近的詞,成為正確選項。詞性或者語態(tài)的變化。把原文中的一些詞變換一下詞性,或者改變原文句子的語態(tài),給考生制造障礙。語言簡化。把原文中的復(fù)雜語言現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行簡化,成為正確答案。正話反說。把原文中的意思反過來表達(dá)而成為正確選項(適用于尋找錯誤選項的題目)。
