Dear Sir，Enclosed is one sample of the envelopes which your delivery truck left in our office yesterday.We wish, however, to exchange them for the correct size, or obtain a refund.When our supply secretary selected and purchased official envelopes in your store last week on December 12, she asked that size L be sent to our office.The size we received is small, and of course it does not serve our needs.The sales receipt is #3968, dated December 12, written by salesclerk #189.Please send us the correct size L envelopes in exactly the same style and color, or if this is not available now, cash refund of $ 50.50.Thank you very much.Sincerely yours，Mary 订购信

订购信一般用于订购某种货物或机票、车票，属于事务信件。在书写订购信的时候，最重要的是要清新明白地说明所要订购的对象的数量、价格、规格等等，如果是机票、车票等，则须说明出发地、目的地、出发时间等。此外，写明你自己的名字、地址、邮编，以及你期望的送货方式等也是非常重要的。要避免写冗长的句子，因为此类信函以传达信息为主，所以能让对方明白你的意图是最重要的。

下面是一封订购飞机票的信函： June

申请信写法：

开头：说明写信目的(申请原因)，信息来源，对所申请工作或学校的认识，自己的打算。

主体：着重介绍自己的背景(教育情况，工作经历，兴趣爱好，特长等)。求职信先介绍工作经验，要突出个人能力及工作业绩；求学信要重点介绍自己受教育程度。总之，要努力使自己的介绍引起对方的兴趣。

结尾：表达自己的愿望，如希望得到面试机会等。要自信而坚定。

June 1.2010 Dear Sir or madam，I write this letter to apply for the position that you have advertised in＿＿＿(信息来源)of ＿＿＿(信息发布日期).Not only do I have the qualifications for this job, but I also have the right personality for a ＿＿＿(职位名称).＿＿＿(原因之一).On the other hand, ＿＿＿(原因之二).I would be very grateful if you grant me a personal interview.If you need to know more about me, please feel free to contact me at any time at＿＿＿(电话号码).Thank you for considering my application.I am looking forward to meeting you.Yours sincerely，Li Ming

常用语：

I have learned that you are hiring--- I would like to apply for---

I am interested in a---position in your firm.I would appreciate an interview at your convenience.I am well qualified to---for the following reasons.My interest and skill in---contribute to my qualification for this job.感谢信

1）感谢信的写法

感谢信最主要的特点是真诚。缺乏真挚的感情答谢他人，收信人将对你的谢意产生怀疑，感谢的目的也就失去了。因此，写感谢信首先得真心诚意。

感谢信另一个特点是具体。写感谢信切忌泛泛而谈，而应着重于具体的感谢事由。

其次一个特点是及时。收到别人礼物、得到别人帮助，应及时写信予以答谢。否则，人家会对你的谢意大打折扣。

收到他人赠送的礼物应当及时写封感谢信，感谢信除了应写得真诚、具体、及时外，还应当特别提及所收礼物的具体内容，否则，泛泛而谈，使人觉得你不够真诚。为此，当你写感谢信时，应这样写：“Thank you for your beautiful roses.”(谢谢您送的美丽的玫瑰花。)；而不要笼统地写上“Thank you for your beautiful gift.”(谢谢您送给我的漂亮礼物。)，这样，使人觉得你既礼貌，又诚心，从而

真正达到交往的目的。下面给出两封简短的感谢信，一封是对朋友赠送礼物表示感谢，另一封是在对方家里小住过一段时间，离开后表达感谢的信。

Dear Sandy，When you left a package for me yesterday, I had difficulty waiting until my birthday to open it.I don’t know how to thank you for such an attractive present.It is something that will give me pleasure for a long time to come.Please accept my sincere thanks and best wishes.Sincerely，Susan Dear Professor Anthony，Thank you for a delightful stay.Your home is lovely, your meals delectable, and I enjoyed the fun and companionship.I am still thinking about it and enjoying it in retrospect.Many thanks again for your warm hospitality.Cordially，Tom

通知（notice）1.标题

Educational Testing Service 各位考生：

如你所知，很遗憾，教育考试服务处被迫取消1992年10月在中华人民共和国进行的托福考试成绩。当时，我方通知你在1993年10月以前可免费参加在此期间的任何一次考试。你应该知道托福考试项目的长期以来的政策：当考试被取消时，不向考生退还考试费。

因此带给您的不便，深表歉意。

教育考试服务处，托福考试项目执行主任： 拉塞尔·韦伯斯特（签字）

Part IV Reading Comprehension Passage One

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage: Why don’t birds get lost on their long migratory(迁徙的)flight? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years.Now they are beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours.But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial(人造的)stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow stars in their

long-distance flights.One such bird – a warbler – had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky.Yet it showed an inborn ability to use stars for guidance.The bird’s cage was laced under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time.The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins.Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance.But stars are apparently their main means of directed flight in the night.What do they do when stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines and river courses.But when it is too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to find their way.61.Which of the following is NOT true about migratory bird’s flight?

A、Some birds fly mainly by day.B、Some birds fly mainly by night.C、Birds like to fly during daylight hours.D、Birds depend on the sun or stars to guide them.62.What do we know about the experimental warbler?

A、It was set free for the experiment.B、It had never flown freely outdoors.C、It had never been placed under the sun.D、It had lost its way in its daylight flight.63.What do we know about warblers as a whole?

A、They do not have intelligence.B、They tend to take the same route as other birds.C、They do not need to learn to fly in the right way.D、They cannot sense changes in the position of the moon.64.What does the passage say about warblers’ sense of direction?

A、They get lost under star-filled sky.B、They lose their way when it is too dark.C、They are not able to see clearly at night.D、

They usually depend on clouds for direction.65.What does “fill in the blanks” in the first paragraph mean?

A、“to do the exercise”B、“to take the test”

C、“to know the right words”D、“to know the answer” Passage Two

Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage: How men first learned to invent words is unknown.All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other;and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down.Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations – the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the happy and sad events of our past;the more we read and learn, the larger the number of words that mean something to us becomes.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to out minds and feelings.This attractive use of words is what we call literary style.Above all, the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which sing like

music, and, by their position and association, can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech dull and silly.66.Which of the following did men invent first?

A、WordsB、SoundsC、SignsD、Letters 67.Why did men invent language?

A、To be different form animals.B、To make their ideas known to others.C、To make nice sounds for others to hear.D、To have something to write down with.68.Which of the following is true of words according to the passage?

A、Their power is beyond imagination.B、They last longer than signs or sounds.C、They remind people of their past experience.D、They enable people to live longer and read more.69.Why does the author mention “poet” in the last paragraph?

A、A poet is full of great thoughts and feelings.B、A poet is an example of good language users.C、A poet tells of the glad and sad events of his past.D、A poet knows more sounds and words than others.70.What is the best title of the passage?

A、Language and Its Use.B、Language and Human Experience.C、Poet: A Master of Words.D、How Language Came into Being.Passage Three

Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage: In the 1800s, trains roared into stations.They were symbols of progress and expansion.They played as much of a role in America’s history as presidents and generals.The first American railroads were built in the late 1820’s.The early railroads provided cheap transportation for shippers and travelers.To encourage the railroads to expand into unsettled land, President Millard Fillmore signed a series of landgrant acts(土地拨赠法案)in the 1850’s.These acts gave the railroad companies ownership of land that ran along the railways.In return for the land, the railroads carried government traffic at reduced rates.The railroad companies sold much of their land to farmers and cattlemen, who then shipped their goods on the trains.The importance of the railroads became clear during the Civil War.During the war,

trains carried troops, arms, and supplies.One reason that the North won the war is that it had more use of the railroads.Between 1865 and 1900, railroads grew rapidly.The first transcontinental(跨越全洲的)route was completed in 1869.This track made easier for pioneers to cross the Rocky Mountains and settle the West.And the railroads brought new people to the West even before the trains started running.Thousands of Chinese and Irish laborers helped to lay down the tracks.71.When were the first American railroads built according to the passage?

A、Around 1800.B、Around 1830.C、Around 1860.D、Around 1890.72.Which of the following is NOT a result of the landgrant acts of the 1850’s?

A、The railroads expanded into unsettled lands.B、Farmer and settlers received land for free.C、The government could pay less for its railroad use.D、Farmers and cattlemen bought land form the railroads.73.What was one of the reasons that the South was defeated in the Civil War?

A、The South was short of military supplies.B、Only the North owned railroads and trains.C、The South failed to make good use of railroads.D、The North used railroads to attack the Southern army.74.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A、Railroads grew rapidly between 1865 and 1900.B、Railroad construction created a lot of jobs.C、Trains carried Chinese and Irish laborers to the West.D、The first railroad that reached the West was completed in 1866’s.75.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A、Railroads grew rapidly between 1865 and 1900.B、Railroads played an important role in American history.C、Trains helped pioneers to cross the Rocky Mountains.D、Trains

controlled American economy in the 19th century.Part VI Translation from Chinese into English
