Dear Sir/Madam,
I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Sand River and its
CEO, Mrs. Jane King. I am very familiar with the company. My next book deals with
it in detail, which is to be published in autumn of 2018. I am also familiar with
European consumer. As a Dutch citizen, I have lived in Europe for 46 years and studied
European consumer behavior for decades.
I believe that Sand River offers something unique to the European market. It has
established long-term supply relations with herdsman (牧民) families and owns
advanced German machinery. Thus it combines natural resources with modern
manufacturing techniques. But equally important, Sand River works with modern
fashion designers to create truly contemporary and appealing designs. The result
is a newly-established cashmere (羊绒) brand that appeals to a target group of
high-income women.
I met Mrs. King the first time in 2013. Since then, we have met several times and
talked about Sand River's philosophy, strategy, and appeal to both Chinese and
international consumers. I was struck by her deep knowledge about knitting (针织)
technology, her enthusiasm for the brand, and her deep understanding of the cashmere
shopper. I regard her as a "woman of her word."
To summarize, I believe Sand River products deserve a place in luxurious European
department stores and Mrs. King is a reliable partner.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Joan Smith
36、 Joan Smith wrote the recommendation letter on behalf of ______.

D. Sand River and its CEO
37、 From the letter we can learn that Sand River ______.

D. sells hand-made products
38、 The target consumers of the newly-established cashmere brand are ______.
A. college students
B. blue-color workers
C. high-income women
D. average herdsman families
39、 By saying "a woman of her word" (Para. 3), the writer means that Mrs. King ______.
A. always keeps her promise
B. is a good public speaker
C. knows customers well

products ______.

Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements
are numbered 41 to 45.
The challenge of writing a powerful cover letter (附信) can lead job candidates to
search endlessly for advice, but be careful. While you likely will find some valuable
advice, you may come across a few tips that could mislead you.
"You need a lengthy cover letter." This probably is one of the "bad cover letter
tips." Think about it: hiring managers have piles of resumes and cover letters to
review. If yours is longer than the rest, it might not get read at all. Aim to get
all of your points across in three brief paragraphs: a clear introduction that lets
employers know which job you are applying for and why you are interested in the
position; a paragraph that includes a few specific examples of how you have excelled
(擅长) in past roles that are relevant to the open position; and a concluding
paragraph that tells employers how you will benefit their company and requests a
future meeting.
"Your cover letter is less important than your resume." Some hiring managers shove
(随手扔) cover letters to the side, but most do not. Because you never know what
type of hiring manager you are dealing with, it is best to submit a nice cover letter.
While some employers place less emphasis on cover letters, others decide who to
interview based on them. Remember that the point of a cover letter is to tell
employers something that makes them want to meet you.
41、 Why should job candidates be careful when searching for advice to write a cover
letter?
A. Some tips are not practical.
B. Some tips could be misleading.
C. It is impossible to get useful tips.
D. It is difficult to find valuable tips.
42、 Why shouldn't you write a lengthy cover letter?
A. Hiring managers may not read it at all.
B. Well-written cover letters may be read first.
C. It is difficult to write a good long cover letter.
D. You are unable to express your points clearly.
43、 According to the passage, the introductory paragraph of a cover letter should
include ______.
A. your request for a job interview
B. the position you are interested in
C. some examples of your achievements
D. your education background and degree
44、 Which of the following should be included in the concluding paragraph of a cover
letter?
A. Your expected salary.
B. Your hobbies and interests.
C. Your request for a meeting.
D. Your professional background.
45、 According to the writer, the purpose of a cover letter is to ______.
A. urge the employer to read your resume
