Cosmo Books Ltd., 14, Woodman Road,Hertford Estate,    Two Bridges,Rickmansworth,    West Susx.Middx. 25th FebruaryDear sir,Just over six months ago, I saw an advertiment in the Morning Mail for a t of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this t ( eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a t of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, and the books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I nt for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a t of the complete 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 pasd. Then there arrived on my door step a cond t of the works of Shakespeare, the same t of novels by Dickens and a six book t of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, the were of no u to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all the books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to nd any other books until further notice.You did not reply to that letter. Instead you nt me a bill for forty two pounds , and a t of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new t 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.I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgement, I should not finish reading all the books that you have nt me.Plea nd no more books, nd no more bills, nd no more angry letters demanding payment. Just nd one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one t of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.

解析

本篇文章为一篇投诉信，描述了我购买了一套莎士比亚作品之后，由于该公司的错误导致的种种烦恼。小题1:B 主旨大意题 本文虽为一篇投诉信，但是作者的写这封信得目的有最后一段“Just nd one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one t of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.”可得出答案B正确。小题1:B 细节理解题 由第一段中的“offered this t ( eight books of plays and two books of poetry)” 因此答案B正确。小题1:A 推理判断题 由第一段中的描述可知，作者本身很想要一套莎士比亚的书，而广告上的又便宜，又很具有吸引力，因此答案A正确。小题1:B推理判断题 由第一段后半部分可知作者又不断收到很多书包括狄更斯等等作家的书 因此答案B正确小题1:C 主旨大意题 全文是一篇投诉信，整篇文章的写作语气是非常令人烦恼的。因此答案C正确。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Cosmo Books Ltd., 14.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
