EP Portable Heater
We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.
The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.
The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.
The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. it comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.
The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day. no questions asked. Satisfaction guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it to our expertise and your money will be given back to you.
Now, we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery. If you order that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.

段落 | 关键词、句 | 大意推测 |
第一部分(Para. 1) | new EP, heats better, faster, saves, bills, runs, silent. | 总起:新型取暖器的优点:加热更好,更快,省钱,运转安静。 |
第二部分(Para. 2-5) | not burn children, pets, not reduce, oxygen, heats, evenly, warranty(保修) , satisfaction guarantee | 分段介绍EP优点:1.不会烫伤;2. 不会减少氧气;3. 加热均匀;4. 保修包满意 |
第三部分(Para.6-7) | special offer, discount, free delivery, take action | 点明促销主旨:抓紧买吧。 |
【解析】
56. B。主旨大意题。难度:较易。本段讲述的是EP没有会引起火灾的暴露加热部件。EP的表面温度只到达能触摸的温度,不会烫伤儿童或宠物,可知所讨论话题是安全问题,故选B。
57.A。细节理解题。难度:较易。第三段首句“The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room(EP不会减少房间里的氧气)”,与选项A. doesn’t burn up oxygen(不会燃尽氧气)正好相对应。故选A。
58.D。词义猜测题。难度:中等。画线句为此段首句,后面的句子均在解释加热器的特点,由后文中的“wall to wall(从墙壁到墙壁)”和“floor to ceiling(从地面到天花板)”,以及通过介绍其他加热器的相反信息with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room(大部分热量集中到房间中央)进行对比,可知evenly 译为均匀的,故选D。第四段的“wall to wall and floor to ceiling”以及第三句“unevenly”表示“heat concentrated to the center of the room”。
59.A。主旨大意题。难度:中等。文章最后一句给出了明确的指示。从倒数第二段Now, we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery.(现在,我们有一个10天的特别提供,在此期间,你可以享受半价折扣和免费送货。)和最后一段Take action right now!(赶紧行动起来)的促销语,可以看出来是促销广告。
