题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对文章中申请信主要目的的理解。解题思路是仔细阅读文章，提取关键信息来明确申请信的核心作用，然后将各选项与文章内容进行对比分析。
- 文章中明确提到 “The main purpose of the letter is to catch the interest of the employer and help you obtain an interview”，这表明申请信的主要目的是吸引雇主的兴趣并帮助自己获得面试机会。
- 选项A “get to know the employer”，文章重点强调的是向雇主展示自己，而不是去了解雇主，所以该选项不符合文意。
- 选项B “fix a time for an interview”，文中只是说帮助获得面试，但并没有提及确定面试时间，所以该选项不正确。
- 选项C “introduce and sell yourself”，申请信中需要阐述自己的教育背景、工作经验和能力等，就是在向雇主介绍自己并展示自己的优势，也就是推销自己，这与文章中申请信的目的相契合。
- 选项D “find out about the salary”，文章中完全没有提到了解薪资相关内容，所以该选项也不正确。
