Comprehension
(40
minutes)
Directions

This
part is to test your reading ability. There are 5
tasks for you to fulfil. You should
read
the reading materials
carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
Directions
: After reading
the following passage, you will find 5 questions

numbered 36
through 40. For each question or statement there
are 4 choices marked A),
B), C), and
D). You should make the correct choice and mark

on the Answer
Sheet with a single line through the center.
I am writing to thank you
for the interesting reports which appeared in the
July/August '94
edition of the Saturday
Evening Post. I am interested in your reports
since B12 deficiency(
缺乏症
)
is an inherited disorder in my family.
In the late 1950s /early 1960s, a research project
was carried
out on it by a London
medical school.
.
精品文档
My grandmother
was 49 when she started vitamin B12 injections in
1949. She was admitted
to the hospital
with a blood disease. My mother was 63 when she
began vitamin B12 injections.
After
reading your article, I believe her treatment was
started too late. At the time, she almost lost
her eyesight and was told that she had
other diseases.
Earlier this
year, I visited my doctor and explained that I
felt very tired and asked for a blood
test to establish whether I was
suffering from B12 deficiency. I was told I was
much too young
and
that
only
people
in
their
80s
suffered
B12
deficiency.
I
told
him
he
was
wrong
and
that
research was carried
out on my family 30 years ago.
I
have always believed that prevention is better
than cure. I now know why I love Kellogg's
Honey
Nut
Cornflakes(
玉米片
).
They
contain
vitamins,
including
B12!
If
foods
contain
added
vitamins, as you suggest in your
article, then B12 deficiency and diseases
associated with it should
be left to
the past.
36.
The passage you have just read is most probably
________.
A) a
thank-you letter to a medical doctor
B) an advertisement for
vitamin B12
C)
a letter to the editor of a magazine
D) a preface to a book on
Vitamins
37. Why is the author
interested in the reports in the Saturday Evening
Post?
A) He was
seriously ill with vitamin B12 deficiency.
B) He wanted to
prevent himself from suffering from vitamin B12
deficiency.
C)
He wanted to cure his family members of an
inherited disorder.
D) He was curious about the latest
medical developments.
38. Which of the
following is TRUE according to the passage?
A) Doctors are
not always reliable.
B) Most foods contain vitamins,
including B12.
C) The author was determined to get rid
of the inherited disorder in his family.
D) Vitamin B12
deficiency can be prevented if measures are taken
early.
39. The reports the author had
read probably told him ________.
A) to have his blood tested
early
B) to
take food rich in vitamins
C) to have regular vitamin injections
D) not to
believe his doctor
40. Doctors think
that the usual case of B12 deficiency occurs when
________.
A) a patient is at an old age
B)
a person is very young
C) a person doesn't take
foods containing vitamins
D) a patient stops vitamin
injections
Task 2
Directions
:
This
task
is
the
same
as
Task
1.
The
5
questions
or
unfinished
statements
are
numbered 41 through 45.
University of Arizona researcher Dr.
William Rathji says that after a study based on
looking
.
精品文档
into garbage cans, the average family
wastes at least $$150 per year in food.
“Homemakers go
out of their way to save pennies at the store and
then don’t realize that waste
of
edible(
可食用的
)
foods adds up much more at home,” said
Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100
food experts who met in Boise for a
conference on food waste and ways to prevent it.
American families throw out between 8%
and 20% of edible food at a cost of $$4.5 billion
per
year.
That’s
almost
as
much
as
the
federal
government
spends
every
year
for
food
stamps
and
child nutrition programs.
He found that
food items which are costly and in short supply
tend to be wasted more. During
the 1973
meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%,
compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975. Sugar
and sugar products waste jumped to 19%
in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from the
previous
year.
Dr. Rathji theorizes that
high prices force consumers to experiment,
sometimes buy in large
quantities. In
the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for
unappetizing varieties are purchased,
consumers then tend to waste more.
His
theory is that the more variety in food bought,
the more wasted. Regular bread is wasted at
about a 10% rate, but specialty breads
and rolls are wasted at a 20% rate.
If people are
eating the same thing every day, they learn how to
manage it. But if you’re trying
to
pu
ll something out of the cookbook
every night, That’s bound to be some
waste.
Another finding is that
lower income families waste less food than middle
and upper income
families. And the
study found that dog food, which accounts for 8%
of a shopping cart, is rarely
wasted.
Fresh produce and frozen items are more likely to
be wasted.
The study also showed people with the
most knowledge of safe, edible food waste the
least.
Much food is tossed out because
a homemaker suspects it is spoiled when it is not.
41. Large
quantities of food are thrown out because a
homemaker__________.
A.
thinks they are not delicious
B.
says they
taste bitter and hot
C.
thinks they
smell bad
D.
suspects they are spoiled when they are
not
42. American families throw out
between___________of edible food every year.
A.
5% ~ 8%
B. 8% ~ 10%
B.
went up
C. 20% ~ 28%
D. 8% ~ 20%
D. was cut in
half
43. When sugar prices doubled,
waste of sugar____________.
A. went down
C. stayed the same
44. Which of the following
statements is true?
A.
American housewives are not good
homemakers.
B.
Upper-income families are more wasteful
than lower-income ones.
C.
American families throw away almost as
much food as they consume.
D.
Americans
waste a great deal of dog food.
45.
When do American families waste more food?
A.
When prices
are high.
B.
When
food is scarce.
C.
When they think it is spoiled.
D.
All of the
above.

Task 3
Directions:
The
following
is
a
news
article.
After
reading
it,
you
are
required
to
complete
the
outline below it (No.46 through No.
50). You should write your answers briefly
(in no
more than 4
words)
on the Answer Sheet
correspondingly.
YOUR
BUSINESS NAME CAN BE ONE OF YOUR
MOST
EFFECTIVE AND LEAST EXPENSIVE
MARKETING
TOOLS
Too often, however,
we choose a name without giving thought to its
marketing value. Some
people opt
for
（选择）
using their own
names; others
may create a clever but
obscure(
模糊的
)
name, or one that has
sentimental
（感情上的）
value. As a
result, the names might end up costing
them
business,
instead
of
attracting
it.
A
common
mistake
in
choosing
a
name
is
selecting
a
misleading
name;
for
example,
calling
a
firm
“
Writing
Services
”
while
it
actually
produces
medical equipment.
Another mistake is choosing a name that is hard to
spell or pronounce. It is
also a
mistake to select a name that is too general, such
as ABC Company. Your main goal should
be to choose a name which your
customers can easily remember whenever they want
your product
or service.
A business name
can be an effective and inexpensive
46
for
a company.
Some people opt for creating either a
47
_ name, or
a
sentimental
one.
As
a
result,
the
names
might
end
up
48
.
The article mentions
49
in choosing a business name. A good
business
name
should
be
easily
pronounced,
spelled,
and
remembered
by
50
.
