Task 2
Directions: This task (No.51 to 55) is the same as Task1
Today almost 70% of the electrical power we use comes from power plants that use fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to make electricity. Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer.
Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source.
Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power.
51.The best title for this passage may be ________
A.The Importance of Electricity
B.The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil Fuels
C.The Advantage of Using Nuclear Energy
D.Means of Making Electrical Power
52.Which energy has damage to us according to the passage?
A.Wind power B.Fossil fuels
C.Solar power D.Water power
53.We can infer from the passage that _________
A.burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely used
B.wind power is a widespread way to make electricity
C.energy problems will soon be solved
D.nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing
54.What does the underlined word “drawback”(in Para.3)mean?
A.effect B.advantage C.disadvantage D.concern
55.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricity
B.Not all the areas could use wind power.
C.Solar energy costs the most
D.Using nuclear energy will not produce negative effect.
Task 3
Directions: This task (No.56 to No.60) is the same as Task 1.
A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems.
More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death.
But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups.
56.The purpose of the survey is to find out _______
A.why people neglect their health
B.what people know about health
C.when to provide health education

57.Which of the following is TRUE about medicines for cold?
A.They can cure common cold.
B.Doctors often discourage the patients from taking them.
C.About 51% of the patients take them.
D.Some Taiwanese take them unnecessarily.
58.According to the survey, most Taiwanese believe that ____.
A.only nicotine leads to cancer
B.few people will get cancer
C.”light ”cigarettes make people healthy
D.other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer
59.About ______ of Taiwanese adults smoke
A.one-third B.two-thirds

Task 4

Dear Mr. Robert,
Although we sent you your goods on time, we have waited nearly two months for you to pay the balance of $5000, which is over due. When you ordered the shipment of computers, you requested that we send you the entire order no later than June 1, and we shipped the goods by air freight on May 25.
As you agreed in our original credit arrangement (赊账协议), payment was due in 30 days, on June 30. Yet, as it is already August 26, we still have not received your payment. In fact, we have not received any answer to the notice we sent to remind you that the payment is due.
We regret to say that if we cannot receive your payment by September 15, we will be forced to ask our lawyer to take measures and collect it through legal procedures.
Yours faithfully,
Adam Smith
