Part Ⅲ Reading 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 or unfinished statements,

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 the corresponding letter 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.

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
