Memorandum（备忘录） To: Members of all departments From: Annette Derringer Subject: Year-end party Date: November 26

This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month’s year-end party. As you know, the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club, which we have reserved between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the evening of December 21st. 1 have received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you have not let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company. The manager of Green Vale has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before. Basically, there is enough parking space for only 100 vehicles, so he would like to ask those of you planning to drive to try car pool（拼车）as much as possible. Also, the number of lockers available is small, so guests should try to keep belongings to a ,minimum. Thanks in advance, Annette

To: Annette Derringer aderringer@belway.com From: Kype Berwick Subject: Year-end party Date: November 28

Annette, I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on December 21st although I do not think I will be able to arrive before 7:30. I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests. I know it is a bit of a last-minute request, but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time, and they would love to see the Green Vale. If it is not a problem, then could you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets? Also, assuming this is OK, we are planning to drive down in a single car to reduce the need for paring and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the ear. I will have a couple of days off before the party, and I will not be in my office December 17th, so could you get back to me before then? Thanks a lot, Kyle

【答案】
（1）A
（2）D
（3）B
【解析】本文是有两小篇类似于书信形式的备忘录组成的，第一篇备忘录是 Annette Derringer写的，主要是通知公司员工，公司将在12月21日这一天会在Green Vale Country Club举行公司年会及其相关事宜。第二篇是由 Kype Berwick写的，类似于回信。 Kype Berwick主要询问一些关于公司年会的相关事项，向Annette Derringer提出了一些私人的请求，并且渴望尽早收到答复。

（1）细节理解题。本题可以采取排除法，根据“the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club, which we have reserved between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the evening of December 21st”可知公司年会在12月21日举办；根据“there is enough parking space for only 100 vehicles, so he would like to ask those of you planning to drive to try car pool（拼车）as much as possible”可知停车位有限；根据“ the number of lockers available is small”。可知存放私人物品的储物柜有限。故选A。

（2）细节理解题。根据“I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests”可知，Kyle Berwick给Annette Derringer写信主要是询问能否带客人去参加公司的年会。故选D。

（3）推理判断题。通读全文，根据“This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month’s year-end party”以及“I have received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you have not let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company”可知Annette Derringer主要是在向公司的员工通知有关公司年会的相关事宜，所以可以推断Annette Derringer负责本次年会的安排工作。故选B。
