Question

You have heard of Webster toys. Websters have made good safe and interesting toys for more than a hundred years. Now we sell them, and children play with them, in countries from new Zealand to Norway, and from Japan to Brazil. We are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East. He (She) will be between the ages of thirty and forty. He will already have some years of selling in world markets behind him. He will speak good English and at least one other language of the Far East.
The person we are looking for will live in Singapore, and work in our office there but he will travel for up to six months in other countries in one year. He will know the Far East well. He should know how to sell in established (建立) markets and where to find new ones. He will know how to make more money than ever, for himself and for Webster Toys.
Websters want someone who can stand on his own feet. If you think you are the person we are looking for, write to Mr. J. Sloman at our office, Webster Toys Company. Church Mill Watford

試題分析：文章介紹了Webster Toys這種產(chǎn)品并廣告招聘銷售人員的，廣告中提到應(yīng)聘者的要求，工作地點(diǎn)和聯(lián)系的方式等信息。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章開篇就介紹了Webster Toys：“You have heard of Webster Toys.Websters have made good，safe and interesting toys for more than a hundred years.Now we sell them，and children play with them...”，由此可見Webster Toys 是由Websters (韋伯斯特人)制造的一種質(zhì)優(yōu)、安全、有趣的玩具并有著一百多年的歷史。選A
2.這是一道推理題。看完全文后，應(yīng)明確這篇短文實(shí)則是一則招聘廣告。廣告登 載在報(bào)紙或雜志上。而在報(bào)紙上刊登廣告的出現(xiàn)頻率肯定比雜志上高。 選D
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文中明確說明了寫這則廣告的目的：“We are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East.”并對(duì)應(yīng)征者提了一些條件，比如“He (or she) will between the age of thirty and forty...”，可見對(duì)于性別未作要求。選D
4.詞義推測(cè)題。該詞匯出現(xiàn)在第三段的首句：“Websters want someone who can stand on his own feet.”其中“stand on one’s own feet”本意表：“靠自己的腳站立或站得住腳”，結(jié)合第二段提出的對(duì)應(yīng)征者能力的要求，應(yīng)確定該詞在本文指能獨(dú)立處理一切商務(wù)的人。 選C
5.寫作意圖題：從第一段的句子：We are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East.可知文章是廣告一些工作職位，選A
考點(diǎn)：考查廣告布告類短文
