1、ilies ate slightly more frequently at sit-down restaurants. However, since 1990, fast food restaurants serve more meals to the families than do the sit-down restaurants. Most of the restaurant meals from 2000 were eaten at fast food restaurants. If this pattern continues, eventually the number of me
2、als that families eat at fast food restaurants could double the number of meals they eat at sit-down restaurants.（164 words）#44. You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.The map below is of the town of Garlsdon. A new supermarket （S） is planned for the town. The map shows two possible sites fo
3、r the supermarket.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.You should write at least 150 wordsmodel answer:The first potential location （S1） is outside the town itself, and is sited just off the main road to the town of Hindon, lying
4、 12 kms to the north-west. This site is in the countryside and so would be able to accommodate a lot of car parking. This would make it accessable to shoppers from both Hindon and Garlsdon who could travel by car. As it is also close to the railway line linking the who towns to Cransdon （25 km to th
5、e south-east）, a potentially large number of shoppers would also be able to travel by train.In contrast, the suggested location, S2, is right in the town centre, which would be good for local residents. Theorically the store could be accessed by road or rail from the surrounding towns, including Bra
6、nsdon, but as the central area is a no-traffic zone, cars would be unable to park and access would be difficult.Overall, neither site is appropriate for all the towns, but for customers in Cransdon, Hindon and Garlsdon, the out-of-town site （S1） would probably offer more advantages.（179 words）# 43.

8、ariuos methods of transport in the European Union while the pie chart shows European Union spending on transport. Flying by air produces by far the greatest CO2 emissions, approximately three times as much as passenger cars which are the next largest producers. Very little is spent by the EU on air
9、travel while roads make up more than half of the EU transport budget.Trains produce about three times less CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre than passenger cars and eight times less than air travel. Nearly a third of EU transport funds are spent on railways.Ships are a clean form of transport an
10、d produce about the same amount of CO2 per passenger kilometre as trains do. However, only 2 percent of EU funds are spent on ports. A further one percent is spent on inland waterways.Coaches are the cleanest form of transport. Emissions of CO2 per passenger kilometre from coaches are half those of
11、buses. Buses emit less than half as much CO2 per passenger kilometre as cars. The European Union spends 10 percent of its transport budget on public transport, such as buses and coaches.（197 words）# 41.

12、ant in a downtown business district.Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.Sales: week of October 7-13Mon.Tues.Wed.Thurs.Fri.Sat.Sun.Lunch$2,400$2,450$2,595$2,375$2,500$1,950$1,550Dinner$3,623$3,850$3,445$3,800$4,350$2,900The sales
13、 at this small restaurant during the week of October 7 to 13th followed a fairly set pattern from Monday to Friday, and then showed notable shift on the weekend. The lunch and dinner sales during the week peaked on Friday and then dipper down as the weekend set in.During the week of October 7-14th,
14、the lunch sales averaged at approximately $2,400. The highest lunch sales occurred on Friday, and the lowest occurred on Sunday. Sundays lunch sales were approximately $1,000 less than the average lunch sales during the rest of the week.Dinner sales, which generated at least $1,000 to $1,500 more a
15、day than lunch sales, also remained steady during the week. Just like the lunch sales, the dinner sales peak on Friday and dipped down for the weekend.Excluding Wednesday and Thursday, the lunch and dinner sales from October 7-11 rose gradually until the end of the business week. Midweek, on Wednesd
16、ay and Thursday, the sales were slightly lower than they were on Tuesday.According to the sales report, this restaurant has a steady lunch and dinner crowd. The most profitable day during the second week of October was Friday. Sunday, was the least profitable day, with the full days sales totaling/t
17、otalling less than the Friday dinner sales. These numbers are reflective of a restaurant that is located in a business/financial district where business hours are Monday through Friday.# 40.

18、rge country town on females only.The diagrams show data for a flu epidemic which hit a large country town in 1996. Figure 1 gives the number of persons who died; Figure 2 shows the percentage breakdown of females who received a new flu vaccine; and Figure 3 gives the number of cases of flu before an
19、d during the epidemic.In Figure 1 it can be seen that the flu was responsible for the deaths of 2 females but no males in the period from March to May. However, from June to August, there were 4 female deaths and 1 male death.According to the pie chart in Figure 2, only those females most at risk we
20、re given the new flu vaccine; 28% did not take part in the trial. Of those females who took part, 35% were aged （over 65 years old）; 24% were babies or children; and 13% were either hospitalised or receiving other medical attention.From Figure 3 it is clear that the new vaccine had a positive effect
21、 on the number of new cases of flu reported in females. There were just over 1000 cases reported in March, climbing rapidly to a peak of 3500 in June. Thereafter, the number of cases dropped slowly to about 2800 in August, before levelling off at 2500 for the rest of the year. For males, the figures
22、 were lower but showed a similar trend throughout the epidemic.（232 words）#39.

23、 answer:In this report I will describe a bar chart that shows the estimated world illiteracy rates by gender and region for the year 2000.First I will look at male illiteracy for the 6 areas shown. The lowest rates were in Developed Countries, Latin America/Caribbean and East Asia/Oceania with rates
24、 of 1% （approximately）, 10% and 8% （approximately） respectively. The rates for the next three areas were much higher and quite similar to each other. Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab States and South Asia had rates of approximately 31%, 29% and 34%.Female illiteracy was much higher relatively in each ar
25、ea except Latin America/Caribbean where it was only slightly higher. The lowest rates for female illiteracy were again Developed Countries, Latin America/Caribbean and East Asia/Oceania with rates of approximately 2%, 12% and 20%. Again the rates for the next three areas were much higher and quite s
26、imilar to each other. Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab States and South Asia had rates of approximately 48%, 52% and 56%.This ends my report.# 38.
