We hope you can ship the goods soon. B. We request you to expedite the shipment. C. We urge shipment of the ordered items. D. It would be appreciated if you could arrange for earlier delivery. 【答案】C 2. (单项选择题) Which sentence structure is used to emphasize the impossibility of further delay, as mentioned in the knowledge points?（ ） A. We believe it is possible to extend the validity of the L/C. B. It is obviously impossible for us to extend the L/C validity any further. C. We are considering the possibility of extending the L/C. D. Please let us know if extending the L/C is feasible. 【答案】B 【解析】选项B使用了 "It is obviously impossible for sb. to do…" 的结构，用于表明无法再拖延。 3. (单项选择题) According to the knowledge points, which phrase is used to draw attention to important details in a letter?（ ） A. We regret to inform you that... B. We draw your attention to the fact that... C. Thank you for your prompt reply. D. We are looking forward to your cooperation. 【答案】B 【解析】选项B使用了 "draw your attention to..." 的短语，用于强调关键信息。 4. (判断题) The phrase "urge sb. to do sth." can be used in a business letter to politely request shipment.（ ） 【答案】× 【解析】"Urge" 意为“催促”，带有较强的紧迫感和强制性，通常用于比较直接的催促，而非礼貌的请求。礼貌的请求可能会使用 "request", "ask", "hope" 等词。 5. (判断题) The sentence "We feel it useless to extend the L/C now" expresses that taking action like extending the L/C is no longer beneficial or effective.（ ） 【答案】√ 【解析】这句话使用了 "We feel it useless to do..." 的结构，表达了某种补救措施（如延长信用证）已经没有意义或效果了。 6. (单项选择题) Which of the following sentences best conveys the urgency of shipment using the core idea mentioned?（ ） A. We would appreciate it if you could ship the goods when convenient. B. Please ship the goods at your earliest convenience. C. We suggest that you consider shipping the goods soon. D. It might be a good idea to arrange for shipment next week. 【答案】B 【解析】选项B虽然没直接用 "urge"，但 "at your earliest convenience" 非常明确地表达了催促装运的紧迫性，是商务信函中常用的催促表达方式，与核心思想一致。 7. (判断题) Using "It is obviously impossible for us to wait any longer" is an example of employing a specific sentence structure to stress the urgency of shipment, as described in the knowledge points.（ ） 【答案】√ 【解析】这句话虽然结构上不是 "It is obviously impossible for sb. to do sth."，但其功能——即表明无法再等待（通常指无法再等待装运或无法再等待信用证延期）——可以看作是类似功能的表达。 知识点二 表达紧迫性与时间相关的术语 1. (单项选择题) In an urgent shipping request letter, which phrase most strongly emphasizes the need for immediate action? ( ) A. We look forward to your prompt reply. B. We would appreciate your cooperation. C. We are in urgent need of the shipment. D. The shipment date is approaching. 【答案】C 【解析】选项C "We are in urgent need of the shipment" (我们急需这批货物) 直接使用了 "urgent need" 来表达紧迫性，强调了对货物的紧急需求，比其他选项更能体现立即行动的必要性。选项A和D表达了紧迫感，但不如C强烈；选项B则侧重于请求合作。 2. (单项选择题) Which term specifically refers to the exact calendar date by which goods must be shipped? ( ) A. Time of shipment B. Shipment date C. Prompt shipment D. Timely shipment 【答案】B 【解析】"Shipment date" (装船日期) 是指货物必须装运的具体日期，是一个明确的时间点。而 "Time of shipment" (装运期) 可能指一个时间段；"Prompt shipment" 和 "Timely shipment" (准时装运/及时装运) 指的是装运的状态或要求，而非具体日期。 3. (单项选择题) The phrase "punctual shipment" is closest in meaning to which of the following? ( ) A. Early shipment B. On-time shipment C. Delayed shipment D. Partial shipment 【答案】B 【解析】"Punctual shipment" (准时装运) 意为按时装运，与 "On-time shipment" (按时装运) 意思最接近。Early shipment 是提前装运，Delayed shipment 是延迟装运，Partial shipment 是分批装运。 4. (判断题) The term "expire" is typically used to indicate that a deadline, such as a credit limit, has been reached and no further action is possible beyond this point. ( ) 【答案】√ 【解析】"Expire" (到期) 指的是期限结束。在商业语境中，常用于指信用证、合同、许可证或付款期限等到期，意味着在此之后相关权利或义务可能终止，或需要采取额外措施（如续期）。题干描述准确。 5. (判断题) Using the phrase "be in urgent need of..." in a business letter automatically implies that the shipment date has already passed. ( ) 【答案】× 【解析】"Be in urgent need of..." (急需…) 表达的是一种紧急需求状态，可能是因为即将到来的截止日期、项目急需或其他原因，但不一定意味着装运日期已经过期。它强调的是需求的紧迫性，而非延迟的事实。 6. (判断题) "Prompt shipment" and "timely shipment" are interchangeable terms that both emphasize the importance of delivering goods quickly according to an agreed schedule. ( ) 【答案】√ 【解析】"Prompt shipment" (迅速装运) 和 "Timely shipment" (及时装运) 都强调按照约定的时间表快速、准时地装运货物，两者在表达按时交货的要求上可以互换使用，含义相近。 7. (单项选择题) If a letter mentions that the "Letter of Credit will expire next Friday," what is the likely implication for the sender? ( ) A. They have until next Friday to place the order. B. They must ensure shipment is completed before next Friday to facilitate payment. C. They have until next Friday to pay the invoice. D. The credit limit will be increased next Friday. 【答案】B 【解析】信用证 (Letter of Credit) 的到期日通常与付款条件相关。如果信用证即将到期，发货人通常需要在到期前完成装运并提交单据，以确保能通过信用证获得付款。因此，最可能的含义是必须在此日期前完成装运。 知识点三 催促装运的常用策略与后续行动 1. (单项选择题)In a letter urging shipment, which phrase is most effective in highlighting the consequences of delay?（ ） A. We will appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. B. Point out that any delay will cause significant inconvenience to our customers. C. We are pleased with the cooperation so far. D. Please let us know your preferred shipping method. 【答案】B 【解析】选项B使用了“Point out”（指出），明确指出了延迟可能带来的后果（significant inconvenience）。 2. (单项选择题)Which expression best conveys a seller's proactive attitude when facing a potential shipment delay?（ ） A. We regret that the shipment will be unavoidably delayed. B. We make every effort to ensure the goods are ready by next week. C. The shipping schedule is beyond our control. D. We suggest you contact the carrier directly. 【答案】B 【解析】选项B使用了“make every effort to do…”（尽力做…），表明了卖方会尽力避免延迟，体现了积极解决问题的态度。 3. (单项选择题)The phrase "such being the case" in a shipment urging letter typically serves to:（ ） A. Express gratitude for past cooperation. B. Introduce necessary actions or requests due to the current situation. C. Apologize for previous misunderstandings. D. Confirm the details of the order. 【答案】B 【解析】“such being the case”用来引出必要的措施，如“make every effort to effect shipment without any delay”，因此它通常用来引出基于当前情况（如延迟）而必须采取的行动或要求。 4. (单项选择题)What is a common request made by buyers in a shipment follow-up letter?（ ） A. A discount on the next order. B. Shipping advice confirming the dispatch of goods. C. An extension of the payment deadline. D. A detailed invoice for the previous purchase. 【答案】B 【解析】期望收到“shipping advice”（装船通知书）以确认发货，这是买方在催促装运时常有的一个具体请求。 5. (判断题)Using "make every effort to effect shipment without any delay" is an example of highlighting the consequences of delay.（ ） 【答案】× 【解析】这句话表达的是卖方会尽力立即装运，表明积极态度和采取行动，而不是直接指出延迟的后果。强调后果更可能是使用“point out...”等表达。 6. (判断题)It is advisable to apologize in a shipment urging letter if previous communications were unclear, to maintain a good relationship.（ ） 【答案】√ 7. (判断题)The phrase "such being the case" is primarily used to express regret or apology in a business letter.（ ） 【答案】× 【解析】“such being the case”主要用于引出必要的措施或行动，而不是主要用来表达遗憾或道歉。道歉是可能包含的元素，但不是该短语的主要功能。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 举一反三考点练 《外贸商函》催促装运-课后自测 知识点一 催促装运的核心表达与句式 1.
