A. To provide entertainment for students B. To help students find job opportunities C. To promote the university's reputation D. To sell company products to alumni [答题分析] 定位关键词：题干 "main purpose" 对应文中 "Participating Companies" 和 "Services Available"，招聘会核心是企业招聘和求职服务，故选 B。 干扰项排除：A（娱乐）、C（学校声誉）、D（销售产品）均未提及，属无中生有。 [可设试题2]When can students attend the Resume Workshop? A. At 9:00 AM B. Between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM C. At 2:00 PM D. After 4:00 PM [答题分析] 快速扫读：在 "Services Available" 中找到 "Resume Workshop" 对应的时间 "10:00 AM – 11:30 AM"，直接匹配选项 B。 技巧：应用文常以 "时间 - 事件" 对应形式呈现，可用 "时间数字" 作为定位锚点。 2. 推理判断题 [可设试题]What can be inferred about the participants? A. Only current students are allowed to attend B. Alumni must pay a fee to enter the fair C. Bringing a resume is important for registration D. Mock Interviews are conducted individually [答题分析] 分析细节："Who Should Attend" 提到 "senior students and recent alumni"，排除 A（校友也可参加）；全文未提费用，排除 B；"Bring multiple resumes" 暗示简历是注册必需，选 C；"Mock Interviews" 描述为 "in small groups"，排除 D（非个人）。 策略：推理需严格基于文本，不添加额外假设，关注 "细节词"（如 "multiple""small groups"）。 3. 主旨大意题 [可设试题]What is the main information of the announcement?

Mock Interviews are conducted individually [答题分析] 分析细节："Who Should Attend" 提到 "senior students and recent alumni"，排除 A（校友也可参加）；全文未提费用，排除 B；"Bring multiple resumes" 暗示简历是注册必需，选 C；"Mock Interviews" 描述为 "in small groups"，排除 D（非个人）。 策略：推理需严格基于文本，不添加额外假设，关注 "细节词"（如 "multiple""small groups"）。 3. 主旨大意题 [可设试题]What is the main information of the announcement? A. The schedule of university courses B. The rules for registering a company C. Details about an upcoming career event D. Contact information for HR experts [答题分析] 整体浏览：标题 "Job Fair Announcement" 和正文核心信息（时间、地点、参与企业、服务内容、参会对象）均围绕招聘会展开，故选 C。 排除法：A（课程表）、B（公司注册）、D（HR 联系方式）均为细节，非主旨。 （三）解答策略分析 1.细节理解题 —— 关键词定位法 步骤：① 题干圈出核心关键词（如人名、时间、数字、大写名词）；② 快速浏览文本，用 "扫读" 定位关键词所在段落；③ 对比选项与原文，注意同义替换（如 "required"= "must bring"，"deadline"= "last day"）。 注意：应用文常出现大量数据（价格、时间、人数），需特别注意数字对应关系，避免 "张冠李戴"（如混淆不同活动的时间）。 2.推理判断题 —— 逻辑关联法 原则：推理结果必须能在文中找到依据，不做过度推断。 线索：关注 "隐含信息"，如 "Bring multiple resumes" 可推断 "简历重要"，但无法推断 "简历必须彩色打印"（文中未提）。 3.主旨大意题 —— 标题 + 结构法 技巧：① 标题通常直接点明主题（如 "Job Fair Announcement"）；② 若标题不明显，梳理文本结构：广告类看 "卖点"，通知类看 "5W1H"，书信类看 "核心诉求"。 4.通用技巧 —— 格式预判法 利用文体格式：广告的 "分点信息"、通知的 "标题 + 分条"、书信的 "开头目的句" 均是快速获取主旨的突破口。 忽略次要信息：应用文可能包含大量细节，解题时无需逐句精读，先通过小标题或项目符号定位所需信息区。 1 Four Popular Festivals Around the World La Tomatina — Spain La Tomatina is a tomato-throwing festival held annually in Buñol, Spain.

(For ages 8 to 12) Listen to the Language of the Trees (Tera Kelly, illustrated by Marie Hermansson) If you know about the “Wood Wide Web”, you know that trees communicate through the fungi (真菌) that connect their roots.
