Volledig Incorporated: For those with a sweet tooth!
Special New Year Offer!
For more than 50 years, Volledig Incorporated has been one of the leading providers of chocolates, caramels, toffees, and other confectionery products in Europe. Whether your company is looking for top quality finished products or ingredients to manufacture your own sweets, Volledig Incorporated has the perfect items to suit your needs. Based in Antwerp, Belgium, our business is built on providing individualized attention to customers and manufacturers alike. Our product diversity and numerous locations make us capable of catering to businesses of all sizes, from small candy stores to large chocolate corporations.
Starting January 1, our new clients can take advantage of a 20 percent discount on their domestic and international shipment totaling a weight of 10 tons or more. Additional information on this offer are available on our Web site at www.vollediginc. com. You can also contact our sales director, Hendrik Bushnell, at henbush@ vollediginc.com should you have any questions.
To: Hendrik Bushnell
From: Liesbeth Weidman
Date: February 8
Subject. Promotional Offer
Dear Mr. Bushnell,
I am the sales manager of Zoet Bonbon Company, a chocolate manufacturer specializing in hand-finished chocolates and other cocoa-based products like chocolate drinks, brownies, and cookies. You can find our products sold in malls and supermarkets in Belgium, France, the UK, and the Netherlands.
We are pleased to say that this year we are expanding our operations into the Asian market, starting in Japan and South Korea. However, we are concerned that our current supplier, Ganesvoort Distributors, does not offer a large enough variety of items. That was why we were pleased to find out that your company has such a huge selection. We also know that you offer a special promotion to new clients. While Zoet Bonbon only requires 9 tons of products for this year, we are hoping that you will provide us a 20 percent discount if we sign a five-year contract. Let me know if this is possible.
I would appreciate it very much if you could provide us with more information about your services. Please contact me directly at(+32)555-8169 as soon as possible. Thank you.
Liesbeth Weidman
Why might Zoet Bonbon be ineligible for the special discount?
选项 A、It will not order enough to qualify.
B、It cannot sign a long-term contract.
C、It is not a first-time customer.
D、It will not ship the items within Europe.
答案A
解析 本题需要结合两篇文章的内容进行综合考查。根据题干中的the special discount，可首先定位到到第一则广告。 第一则广告中提到“…our new clients can take advantage of a 20 percent discount on their domestic and international shipment totaling a weight of 10 tons or more．”，可知公司的新顾客可享受针对国内或海外10吨以上货运的八折优惠，这是第一条线索。但我们并不知道Zoet Bonbon公司是否具有享受这项优惠的资格，这就需要到第二封邮件中去查找并确认。邮件中提到“…Zoet Bonbon only requires 9 tons of products for this year…”可知ZoetBonbon公司今年只需要购买9吨货物，这是第二条线索。 结合这两条线索，可推断出Zoet Bonbon公司的订货量没有达到享受优惠的条件，因此选(A)It will not order enough to qualify．。
