题目解答

答案

本题考察邮件结构与句子排序。开头为“Hi, Linda,”，接着介绍时间背景“I was in Chinatown last summer.”，并说明目的“I wanted to see Wing Kei Wong's mural.”。随后，因未能找到壁画，需求助他人：“But I couldn't find it. So I asked somebody for directions.”。指引信息需按顺序排列：先“Macclesfield Street was the third on the left”，再“Horse and Dolphin Yard, off Macclesfield Street”。最后，找到壁画“I soon found the mural.”，并描述“It was like a bowl of rice.”。结尾为“Hope to hear from you soon.”及“Best wishes, Betty”。 完整邮件： Hi, Linda, I was in Chinatown last summer. I wanted to see Wing Kei Wong's mural. But I couldn't find it. So I asked somebody for directions. He said that Macclesfield Street was the third on the left. He told me it was in Horse and Dolphin Yard, off Macclesfield Street. I soon found the mural. It was like a bowl of rice. Hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Betty

解析

本题考查邮件的结构以及句子的逻辑排序。解题的关键在于依据邮件的常见格式，即开头问候、中间阐述事件、结尾表达期望和祝福，同时结合句子之间的逻辑关系来确定顺序。

  1. 邮件开头：邮件通常以问候语开启，所以“Hi, Linda,”是首句。
  2. 介绍时间背景：接着说明事件发生的时间，“I was in Chinatown last summer.”表明Betty去年夏天去了唐人街。
  3. 阐述目的：“I wanted to see Wing Kei Wong's mural.”说明Betty去唐人街的目的是看壁画。
  4. 遇到问题：“But I couldn't find it.”体现出Betty没能找到壁画，这是遇到的问题。
  5. 寻求帮助：因为找不到壁画，所以“ So I asked somebody for directions.”，Betty向他人询问方向。
  6. 获取指引信息：他人给出的指引信息有先后顺序，先告知“Macclesfield Street was the third on the left”，再说明“it was in Horse and Dolphin Yard, off Macclesfield Street”。
  7. 找到壁画并描述：“I soon found the mural.”表明Betty最终找到了壁画，“It was like a bowl of rice.”对壁画的样子进行了描述。
  8. 邮件结尾：“Hope to hear from you soon.”表达了Betty希望尽快收到Linda的回信，“Best wishes, Betty”是结尾的祝福。
