Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．D;3．A;4．B;
解析：

(1)	写作意图推测题。根据The Screenfridge is due to hit the market sometime in early 2003可知，这是一个电脑新产品的介绍。
(2)	细节题。根据call up email, news reports, sales items at the supermarket…the machine should attract people who have limited time to solve technical problems or surf online等关键词句，可知这种产品使电脑的使用更加方便快捷。
(3)	推断题。根据Rikke and her husband are taking part in a six-month trial…But when the thing is gone after the test, it will be a pain to have to go down in the basement again to download my e-mail可知，这种产品正在试用之中，而试用期为六个月，故A项最佳。
(4)	推断题。“But when the thing is gone after the test, it will be a pain to have to go down in the basement again to download my e-mail．”这句话的意思是说：当试用期过了以后，我们又不得不重新回到地下室去下载电子邮件。故可以推断，Rikke认为这种电脑新产品Screenfridge给她带来了很大的方便，希望能继续使用这种新产品。
