There are 5 tasks for you to fulfil.

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A),B), C), and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letteron 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.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 doctorB) an advertisement for vitamin B12C) a letter to the editor of a magazineD) a preface to a book on Vitamins37. 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 earlyB) to take food rich in vitaminsC) to have regular vitamin injectionsD) not to believe his doctor40. Doctors think that the usual case of B12 deficiency occurs when ________.A) a patient is at an old ageB) a person is very youngC) a person doesn't take foods containing vitaminsD) a patient stops vitamin injectionsTask 2Directions: 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 pull 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 incomefamilies. 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 deliciousB.says they taste bitter and hotC.thinks they smell badD.suspects they are spoiled when they are not42. 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 downB. went upC. stayed the sameD. was cut in half44. 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 3Directions: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 nomore than 4 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.YOUR BUSINESS NAME CAN BE ONE OF YOURMOST EFFECTIVE AND LEAST EXPENSIVEMARKETING TOOLSToo 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.Task 4Directions:The following is a list of terms of tendering.
