问题 To: Leonard Ellis
From: Donna Hayes
Date: February 9
Subject: Egyptian Odyssey
Dear Mr. Ellis,
I looked over the brochure you sent me last week, and I must say that I was quite impressed with the wide variety of tour packages that your travel agency offers.
I became particularly interested in the Red Sea Escape, but since one of my traveling companions has already been to the Red Sea, I opted for the Egyptian Odyssey, instead. However, when I looked it up on your Web site to find out more, I became somewhat confused since your Web site contains information that is different from what is in the brochure. The online advertisements stated that the visit to the Valley of the Kings and the Hatshepsut Temple takes place on the third day of the tour, not on the fifth day, as was indicated in your brochure. Can you let me know which is correct? The schedule will influence whether or not my friends and I will book the tour.
Meanwhile, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with a quotation for the Egyptian Odyssey tour for six people by tomorrow afternoon. Since we are planning to travel early next month, we would like to get all of the arrangements sorted out as soon as possible. Furthermore, I would also like to ask what the weather will be like in that area around the time of our trip. We would like to make sure to bring the right kind of clothing.
Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Ms. Hayes,
The tour schedules on the brochure are correct. The other schedules you saw were the result of an error made by our marketing staff. We sincerely apologize for the discrepancy.
I have prepared a quotation for six people for the tour you requested, but a network problem has been preventing me from attaching the file to this e-mail. If you are able to read this by noon today, please reply with your fax number. That way, I can send you the file this afternoon, as you asked. You can also just call me directly at 555-9617.
As for your other concerns, you could not have picked a better time to travel to Egypt as the weather is quite ideal for sightseeing. Bringing along some cool, light clothing should suffice, unless you plan to dine out at one of the city’s finer restaurants. For that purpose, one set of smart casual clothing will do.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Leonard Ellis
On which day of the tour does the visit to the Valley of the Kings take place?
选项 A、On the second day
B、On the third day
C、On the fourth day
D、On the fifth day
答案D
解析 本题需要综合两封邮件的内容进行解答。题目问的是旅途中哪一天(On which day)将会游览“王室的山谷”，首先应定位至提及题目核心词the visit to the Valley of the Kings的相关内容的第一封电子邮件。 邮件中提到“The online advertisements stated that the visit to the Valley of the Kings…takes place on the third day of the tour，not on the fifth day，as was indicated in your brochure．”，即网上的广告显示游览“王室山谷”是在第三天，而宣传册上显示是第五天，由此可以确定第一条线索；然而二者中哪个信息是正确的尚不明确，因此应再看第二封电子邮件的相关内容。第二封邮件中提到“The tour schedules on the brochure are correct．”，即宣传册上显示的日期是正确的，由此可以确定第二条线索。 将第一条线索“网上广告显示第三天，而宣传册显示是第五天去游览‘王室山谷’”和第二条线索“宣传册上显示的日期是正确的”综合起来考虑，可以推知“王室山谷”游览是在旅行日程的第五天。因此(D)On the fifth day为正确答案。
