Question

 Dear Sir or Madam,
Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was quite angry about the service of your station.
The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow. A man at the station said sorry to us, but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay (誤點). We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. So I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more (更重要的是), the service on the train was quite poor. The trip took more than five hours. Unluckily, we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was wrong with the air conditioning and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we arrived in King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.
Because of your poor service, I think you should pay me compensation (賠償).
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours, David Robertson

解析試題分析：這是一篇投訴信，原因是由于火車晚點40分鐘使作者耽誤了自己的飛機，而且火車上的服務非常差，作者希望得到賠償。
【小題1】細節題。根據文章The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow.火車離開格拉斯哥的時候是40分鐘之后，就是8點40.故選B
【小題2】細節題。根據文章I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.可知，作者是乘坐飛機從倫敦到法蘭克福市。故選A
【小題3】細節題。根據文章The trip took more than five hours.可知，作者在火車上度過了5個小時。故選C
【小題4】細節題。根據文章we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train.可知，作者在火車上只能買軟飲料。故選C
【小題5】細節判斷題。根據文章可知，這是一封投訴信，不是一封感謝信。故A正確。作者的旅途很不高興。故B錯誤 火車上的服務非常差。故C正確。故本題選B
