You should make the correct choice. 36 The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time,
19、 made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are inclined to catch certain illnesses because of the food tha
20、t is characteristic(典型 ) in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates (硝酸盐 ) and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives(添加剂 ) , caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic (致癌的 ) add
21、itives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin(青霉素 ) to beef and poultry and because of this, penicillin has b
22、een found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration has tried repeated
23、ly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 36 According to the passage, 80% of all human illnesses are connected with _. （ A） diet （ B） additives （ C） nitrates （ D） penicillin 37 The cancer of the _ is particularly related with diet. （ A） lung （ B） stomach （ C） colon （ D） brain 38 Nitra

25、ow （ D） fatten animals 40 You may read this passage in _. （ A） a novel （ B） medical newspaper （ C） research paper （ D） an advertiser0ent Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 A scientist who wants to predict the wa
26、y in which consumers (消费者 ) will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending. If an economist was asked which of three groups borrow most - people with rising incomes, st
27、able incomes, or decreasing incomes - he would probably answer, those with decreasing incomes. Actually years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions(
28、假设 ) about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always tree. The expe
29、ctations of price increases may not stimulate buying. The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America; the condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appear
30、s that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology(心理学 ). 41 According to the passage, if a scientist wants to predict the way consumers spent their money, be must _. （ A） study consumer behavior （ B） obtain data on the incomes o
31、f consumers （ C） get data on money spending motives （ D） do all of the above 42 In the second paragraph, one traditional assumption is that people with _ incomes borrow most. （ A） stable （ B） increasing （ C） decreasing （ D） average 43 According to the research surveys in the second paragraph, it has
32、 proved that _. （ A） consumers always hasten to buy goods （ B） women are more sensitive to the rising in prices （ C） rising prices may make people put off their purchase of goods （ D） the expectations of price decreases often make buyers feel sad 44 _ is most helpful to spending. （ A） Price increase
33、s （ B） Price stability （ C） Increasing incomes （ D） Decreasing incomes 45 According to the passage, if a department store wants to attract more consumers, it must _. （ A） do more research surveys （ B） keep stable prices （ C） make many advertisements （ D） present consumers with beautiful presents Tas
