III.Reading Comprehension(20%)

Directions: There are 2 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.You should decide on the best choice.Passage 1

Packaging is an important form of advertising.A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product.For example, a small child may ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character.The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food.Pictures for children to color or to cut out, games printed on a package or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products, or to ask their parents to buy for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing.Food products sold in reusable container are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container may cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free.However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of the package also motivates a buyer.Maybe the package has “Economy Size” or “Family Size” painted on it.This suggests that the large size has the most products for the least money.But that is not always true.To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers.But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement.The words and pictures do not tell the whole story.Only the product inside can do that.41.As used in the passage, the word “motivate” most probably means______.A.making one deep in thought

B.a buyer will get what he pays for

43.People are likely to buy the product sold in a glass or dish because ______.A.they believe the cost of the container is included in the cost of the product

B.the container is too attractive

C.they think they can get the container for free

D.they have no other choice

44.Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage? ______.A.Package is often a successful advertisement

B.Children are often encouraged to buy a product by its package with attractive pictures

C.A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container

D.On seeing a well-designed container, a buyer often neglects what is in it

45.What suggestion does the author give in the passage? ______.A.The quality of the container has nothing to do with the quality of the product

B.Don’t buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish

C.A buyer should get what he needs most

D.The best choice for a buyer is to get a product in a plain package

Passage 2

China is pushing forward a nationwide trial on fortified(强化的)food, in a bid to improve the health of its citizens.About 30,000 people from the country’s western region have used fortified flour for two years.Their diets had been improved.This experience will be promoted throughout the country and fortified oil and rice have also been introduced across the country.Fortified food refers to food with nutrients(营养)added, such as vitamins, calcium and iron.The nutrition program is expected to be included in the key projects for the country’s 11th Five-Year Plan(2006-2010).A series of rules and regulations, such as nutrition rules and production standards for fortified flour, will come into effect.The intake of some nutrients, such as fat, protein and calories is often excessive, but some other nutrients, such as vitamins, are lacking in some diets, according to some experts.At the moment there are three ways to improve public nutrition----a balanced diet, food fortification and nutritional supplements(补充).However, due to China’s massive population and its unbalanced economic development, food fortification is thought to be the best way of improving public nutrition in a short period of time.China started fortifying food in 2002, while developed countries such as the United States have more than 50 years of such experience.“Fortified foods do not sell well, as the public still knows little about it.” Some experts pointed out.46.What is the purpose for China to push forward the plan on fortified food?

49.Which of the following statements is NOT true? ______.A.Some nutrients are lacking in some diets

B.China started fortifying food nearly around years earlier than U.S.C.Food fortification is thought to be the best way of improving public nutrition now

D.There are 3 ways to improve public nutrition at the moment
