　　Dear Ms. Weston.
　　Performance of the Cpt Equipment
　　I'm Pleased to tell you about our experience with the CPT Word Processor as you requested recently... ...example ... .. I assume you have looked at several machines and have narrowed down your choices. Here are my observations.
　　An approach to adopting word processors
　　Eighteen months ago we adopted CPT equipment on limited scale with the idea in mind that we could gradually get rid of electric typewriters as we became familiar with the word processor（. ...... 8 ......）The stations are actually in pairs so each pair can share a common printer（...... 9......）
　　We use the equipment as dedicated word processors, although we do have the ability to link up with our computer installation.
　　The step-at-a-time development of our word-processing center has, we think, saved us money and training time. （......10......）
　　Performance
　　In terms of performance , the CPT equipment is excellent（. ... ...11.. ...）Moreover our service contract and warranty have covered all maintenance costs.
　　We have software packages that check spelling and signal when a mistake occure（. ...... 12 .....）Using both printers , we recently prepared 1200 individually typed form letter mailings a under four hours. We have no complaint about our preparation of executive reports.
　　Example: I
　　A So it works very well and has so many different functions.
　　B Also it has reduced the confusion that exists about buying software packages .
　　C The train stops at each station for only fifteen minutes.
　　D We began with two work stations and now have four.
　　E Our routine letters are prepared from disc-stored masters.
　　F The Rotary W printer with a speed of 45 characters a second can easily handle two input stations.
　　G In contrast ,its size and weight are ideal for carrying.
　　H We have not yet experienced mechanical problems so far.
　　I We are pleased with its performance and multi-functions.　

讲解

参考答案：8. D 9. F 10. B 11. H 12. E

8.空白后面说the stations的情况，而空白前面并没有提到，所以空白部分肯定要提出stations。所以，应该是D最合适。
9.空白前提出a common printer，后面肯定要补充说明printer的情况。所以选择F。
10.前面提到为我们节约了资金和训练时间，如果填B，同时也为我们减少了购买软件方面的困惑，这样最连贯了。
11.后面进一步说明服务合同和保修期的问题，那么前面肯定提出了质量方面的问题。那么，选择H最好。
12.根据前后文关系，都在讲拼写错误和发出信号的问题，那么选择E最能将前后文联系起来。
