Sheet with a single line through the

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.
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
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%
C. 20% ~ 28%
D. 8% ~ 20%
43. When sugar prices doubled, waste of
sugar____________.
A. went down
half
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.
B. went up
C. stayed the same
D.
was
cut
in
