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 ( 羊絨) 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 (針織) 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、D
[ 解析] 細節題根據短文的第一段第一句 “我為代表桑德河公司及其執行總裁——珍·金女士撰寫這封推薦信感到十分榮幸 ”可以看出，作者代表的是桑德河公司及其執行總裁，故選D。A、B、C三項均為干擾項，在文中都有提及，但是與題干無關，不能選擇。
37、A
[ 解析] 細節題根據短文第二段第二句可知 “該公司已和牧民家庭建立了長期合作，還引進了德國先進設備”。故選A。B項為干擾項，短文提及了與牧民家庭有長期合作， 但是沒有說明是否為雇傭關系， 因此不能選擇。短文提到公司引進先進的設備，但不是生產設備，所以C項也不能選擇。而 D項未在文中出現，不能選擇。
38、C
[ 解析] 細節題根據短文第二段最后一句可知 “…針對高收入的女性消費群體的新羊絨品牌”。故選 C。A、B、D三項均為干擾項，在文中沒有提及，不能選擇。
39、A
[ 解析] 詞義題a、woman of her word或a man of his word意為“信守承諾，說話算數的人 ”，在這里暗指金女士是值得信賴的人。故選 A。B、C、D三項為干擾項，在文中沒有提及，也與題干無關，不能選擇。
40、D
