第二节:信息匹配 (共5小题,满分10分)
Here are five letters
from readers listed in 1-5. All the greetings and signatures are left out.
Suppose you are a secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each
one find a suitable reply from A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your
answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don’t need to use.
51. I am a reader of
CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your
offering an opportunity to us beginners to practice using English. So I want to
ask how they can obtain these articles and translated them for you, and what
qualities you require. Thank you.
52. I love your Crazy
English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English
teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I’ve been giving
you a bit of a plug at our middle school. I told the students to “get a copy!”
It’s good stuff! Fantastic!
53. I’m one of Yao’s
fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English
Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could
you please tell me? Thank you very much indeed.
54. First of all, I
must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really
good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each
passage, you gave us some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as
far as my knowledge, I think you should give us not only the Chinese meaning
but also the English meaning so as to know the words more accurately. Thank
you!
55. I am an editor of
the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the
position of the paper e.g. and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the
word in English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very
much. Now, I do this work, I need study more information about this work, if
you have time, please email me. Thank you.
A. Thank
you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think
the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the
meaning of the word from the other words around it. Also, if you have an
English dictionary, it’s good to look up the words and then mark them down in a
notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use
the words, try using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.
B. The
best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is
to get a copy of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the
different positions. There are also titles such as Managing Editor, reporter,
Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If you have
some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I’ll try to answer.
C.The
best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks.
You can write him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao,
you can look at the sports section in sina. com. I hope this helps. Another
idea is that you can try to write Yao while he’s living and playing in Houston.
You can try to reach Yao in the US at: Yao Ming Compaq
Centre 10 Houston, TX 77046
D. Thank
you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you’re right we made a mistake
in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully
each article and its translation to make sure there are no mistakes, but
unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep
improving, so thank you.
E. Yes,
we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our
magazine. We contact these translators directly after interviewing their
translation work. Afterwards we assign the articles to them for translation. If
you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some
information about yourself and a sample of your translation work.
F. Thank
you for helping us to promote CR. We’re glad it’s helpful to your students. We
always try to include articles that reflect real life. It’s our hope that CR
will not only improve student’s English but also open up a different worldview.
