Probably 95% of the white bread sold in the United States is enriched with thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and iron, and about 30% of the 50 states have laws requiring white bread enrichment.????Formerly, calcium and vitamin D were frequently added to enriched bread, but lack of consumer demand and questionable nutritional benefit led to gradual phasing out of these enrichments.????India has attempted to encourage consumption of protein-enriched bread, with some success.????Except for research projects, little has been done in other countries, however.????In areas where bakery products comprise a large proportion of the diet, they could provide an ideal vehicle for nutritional supplementation.????Then need for better quality protein in the daily diet occurs mostly in the developing countries, where carbohydrate foods -- usually cereals -- are the basic components of the diet and therefore the logical protein carriers. 66. Japan is used in this passage to illustrate a fashion in many countries to _____. A. enrich bread B. invest more in food industry C. increase consumption of bakery foods D. increase a reliance on rice and grains 正確答案是 67. According to the passage, popular cereals could be the best way in developing countries to _____.

From the passage, we learn that there is a worldwide trend towards _____. A. enriching the nutritional value of bread B. increasing the consumption of protein C. using bakery products as a source of carbohydrates D. using grains, such as rice, as a source of carbohydrates 正確答案是TEXT B The CBI will this week announce a Think British campaign aimed at cutting imports and stimulating home industries.????The man behind the move is Sir Derek Ezra, chairman of the National Coal Board, who has persuaded the CBI's council that firms can buy British supplies without paying more for their patriotism. The target of a conference the CBI is calling early in the New Year will be the 50 biggest manufacturing companies in the private sector and 16 leading firms in distribution who together spend £35bn a year. Sir Derek says "By actively pursuing a policy on the line I have described they could have a major impact in stimulating industrial competitiveness and growth".????Nationalized industries have already switched up to £100m worth of their buying from foreign suppliers to British firms in the past year. In a paper which went to the CBI council last week, Sir Derek produced figures to demonstrate how, by hunting out suppliers who were prepared to co-operate closely in developing equipment and materials at the right quality and price, the nationalized enterprises have succeeded in getting what they want and in boosting Britain's exports. The NCB itself, at the same time as cutting back the import content of its annual '1,000m worth of purchases to 2.6%, has helped the British mining equipment industry to raise its exports from £26m to £129m in two years.????The public enterprises together, who spent up to £10bn on goods and services each year, have cut the amount they buy abroad from 4.3% to 3.4% over the past year. Sir Derek emphasizes that this has not been done by sacrificing profitability.????But, Debenhams, one of the handful of retail chains who have been pursing a similar policy, says that it has had to accept the a cut in its own margins so far to make it work.????The chain has replaced £25m worth of Italian shirts and socks by British products during the past nine months. 69. One of the aims of Think British campaign is to _____. A. cut exports B. stimulate imports C. develop new products D. encourage domestic industries 正確答案是 70.

B. the Think British campaign C. the British mining equipment industry D. reduced purchases of foreign goods 正確答案是TEXT C Just a few seconds of frenzied passion on the floor of the public bar and things would never be the same again for Michelle.????It only took a few minutes to ruin her life.????The end of all her hopes and dreams, her childhood and teenage innocence, all stripped away the first and only time she ever surrendered herself to a man. No one saw it happen, but the news spread fast, it wasn't long before the whole of Britain knew what had happened in the Queen Victoria -- Dirty Den, the landlord, had done it again.????Only this time he had gone too far. For the millions who have agonized with her, Michelle's pregnancy seems a terrible price to pay for one mistake -- a little youthful stupidity.????Yet, with the increasing number of teenage single mums, it's not just a problem dreamed up for a soap opera -- as actress Susan Tully, who plays Michelle, has discovered from hundreds of letters: It's a dilemma many young girls face. As she talks about Michelle and her baby, it's easy to understand why Susan has been so successful in the role.????Even though she'd never had an experience like it herself, it's one she recognizes all too clearly from what happens to some of her contemporaries at school.????Michelle might almost be her younger sister rather than a fictional part in Britain's most successful soap opera. Susan says that she never became involved with men during her school years because of her work.????With her time being split equally between school and television studios, she was busy learning lines while her girlfriends were dating boys.????While they went out to discuss and parties in the evening she was desperately catching up on her schoolwork. "I don't feel as though I've missed out on anything," she insists.????"And unlike a lot of my friends, I've got plenty to look forward to.????That's what's so nice about my boyfriend now.????It's very comfortable and there's lots to find out about each other." "It's then that I feel sad for Michelle.????When she should be going out and having fun, she's having to worry about whether she's going to breastfeed the baby.????She's had to say goodbye to being a teenage." 73. How did Susan avoid the dangers that many of her school friends faced? A. By thinking of Michelle as her younger sister. B. By doing many projects at home. C. By working hard at school and at the TV studio. D. By dating her boyfriend during her school years. 正確答案是 74.

Sorry for Michelle C. Susan's School Years D. Susan's Hopes and Dreams 正確答案是TEXT D Helium is a gas that is lighter than air.????It is the second lightest of all gases. (Only hydrogen is lighter.)????Helium is inert, which means it will not react chemically with anything.????It cannot burn.????It has no color, odor, or taste. The first people who saw evidence of helium saw it as a bright yellow line in spectroscopes they aimed at the sun during the eclipse of 1868.????They knew that they were seeing something new, and that the chemical element that caused the line in the spectroscope was unknown on earth.????The unknown element was named helium, from the Greek word helios, meaning "sun".????Later, in 1895, the same brilliant yellow line was seen coming from a Norwegian mineral which produces a little helium by its radioactivity.????The line in the spectroscope was identified as caused by the gas helium.????This element is the only one that was discovered off the earth before it was discovered in the earth. Almost all commercial helium is produced in the United States.????The plants for separating helium from natural gas are in Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico.????Most of the natural gas supplies are controlled by the government and administered by the United States Bureau of Mines.????The government is interested in helium because the gas has military uses. Helium has been used for some time to inflate blimps, weather balloons, advertising balloons, and toy balloons.????Helium is valuable for filling balloons because it does not burn, as hydrogen does.????This prevents dangerous explosions.????Recent uses of helium are far more important than any of these familiar uses.????Now helium gas may be the cooling gas, or coolant, pumped through the reactors of some nuclear power plants to keep them from getting too hot.????It is also used in electric arc welding because the gas does not combine with hot metal.????helium is used, too, in rocket fuel tanks as a means of maintaining pressure during flight. 76. The chemical element helium is named from the Greek word which means _____. A. light air B. yellow line C. sun D. earth 正確答案是 77. Helium is valuable to nuclear power plants because it _____. A. is lighter than air B. may be used as a cooling gas C. does not combine with hot objects D. does not burn 正確答案是TEXT E When there is a vacancy in a company, it is the job of the Personnel Manager and his department to manage the recruitment of a new employee.????One way an organization can find staff for job vacancies is to recruit in company.????Management can inform people of new appointment by means of the firm's notice board or news bulletin.????Another possibility is to ask for recommendations from departmental managers and supervisors.????If it is necessary to recruit outside the company, the personnel department may use commercial and government employment offices or consultants.????It may prefer to put its own advertisement in a newspaper or magazine. It is usual for an advertisement to give a short description of the job, conditions of work and salary, and to invite introductory letters from applicants.????After studying these, management decides who receives an application form. In order to assess the applications, managers can work from a personnel specification such as Rodger's Seven-Point Plan.????They do not choose applicants who do not have a good profile.????For this reason, it is important that the application form requests clear information about such things as the applicant's age, education, qualifications and work experience.????It must also ask for references from other employers or people who know the applicant well.????This information helps management to make a final decision on the number of applicants they can short-list for interview. The staff who hold an interview together are called an interview "panel".????It is important that they know what information they need to get from the applicants.????This comes from a careful reading of job descriptions, personnel specifications, and applications.????To help the panel in their selection, some companies use an interview assessment form.????This is used by the panel during the interview when each applicant is checked under the same point of the form. Many employers say that the success of a good business begins in the Personnel Manager's office. 78. Which of the following means it NOT mentioned in the passage when recruiting staff outside the company? A. Consultants. B. Written examinations. C. Own advertisements. D. Government employment offices. 正確答案是 79. What is Rodger's Seven-Point Plan? A. A recruitment advertisement. B. A personnel specification. C. A short description of the job. D.

Most people picture sharks as huge, powerful, frightening predators, ready at any moment to use their sharp teeth to attack unwary swimmers without provocations.????There are numerous fallacies, however, in this conception of sharks. First, there are about 350 species of shark, and not all of them are large.????They ranger in size from the dwarf shark, which can be only 6 inches long and can be held in the palm of the hand, to the whale shark, which can be more than 55 feet long. A second fallacy concerns the number and type of teeth, which can vary tremendously among the different species of shark.????A shark can have from one to seven sets of teeth at the same time, and some types of shark can have several hundred teeth in each jaw.????It is true that the fierce and predatory species do possess extremely sharp and brutal teeth used to rip their prey apart; many other types of shark, however, have teeth more adapted to grabbing and holding than to cutting and slashing. Finally, not all sharks are predatory animals ready to strike out at humans on the least whim.????In fact, only 12 of the 350 species of shark have been known to attack humans, and a shark needs to be provoked in order to attack.????The types of shark that have the worst record with humans are the tiger shark, the bull shark, and the great white shark.????However, for most species of shark, even some of the largest types, there are no known instances of attacks on humans.TEXT G First read the following questions. 83.
