Dear Ms. Noguchi,
Thank you for your renewing your Friends of the Wetlands membership. Your $25 contribution will enable us to continue our missions of environmental research, habitat restoration, and community education.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that in addition to paying your membership dues, we encourage all members to assist the Friends of the Wetlands directly. You can help by planting local foliage, leading wetlands tours for students and other community members, or working as a fundraiser.
For those interested, we’ve scheduled an information meeting for 7:30 Friday evening at the visitors center. We look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
Mark Perry
Director, Friends of the Wetlands

【中譯】Mark Perry為什麼撰寫了這封信給Noguchi小姐?
(A) 為了催繳二十五元的捐款
(B) 為了鼓勵她加入一個組織
(C) 為了感謝她貢獻時間
(D) 為了邀請她參加一項活動
【解析】
本題"Why did Mark Perry write this letter to Ms. Noguchi?"問的是Mark Perry寫信給Ms. Noguchi的目的。根據第二段的內容"We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that …, we encourage all members to assist the Friends of the Wetlands directly … we’ve scheduled an information meeting for 7:30 Friday evening … We look forward to seeing you there."可知,Mark是為了邀請Janice去參加週五晚上所舉辦的說明會而寫這封信。
選項(A)提到" … request … donation"「要求捐款」, 但從第一、二句,即可知,Janice 已經捐款,故不選。
選項(B)提到"encourage … join an organization",但由第一句的內容可知,Janice已是會員,且此信亦不是要她再加入其他組織,故不選。
選項(C)中的"Thank … for her time"指「感謝她所花的時間」,這和「週五的說明會」無關,亦不可選。
選項(D)提到的" … ask … attend an event"是邀請Janice出席活動,與"information meeting for 7:30 Friday evening …. We look forward to seeing you there."意思相符,故為正確答案。
2.
【解答】A
【中譯】下列何者不是這個組織的活動之一?
(A) 行銷天然資源
(B) 進行科學研究
(C) 復原當地生態
(D) 舉辦教育性質的活動
【解析】
此題為「反向細節」題,也就是須把文章中提到的資訊找出來,看哪一個是「沒有」被提及的。題目問"What is NOT stated as one of the group’s activities?",可見得要先找出關於此單位的主要"activities"(活動)。根據第一段第二句提到的" … our missions of environmental research, habitat restoration, and community education."可以看出以下的配對:
選項(B) Conducting scientific studies = environment research,有提及。
選項(C) Restoring the local ecology = habitat restoration,有提到。
選項(D) Organizing education programs = community education,也有提到。
選項(A) Marketing natural resources並沒有在文中被提到,故為正確答案。
