17、ld be exchanged for them” 因此当鼓励人们去买健康食物的时候food vouchers效果很好。所以答案此处填写comes。When it comes to表示当xxx的时候。第78题 原文It was 25% cheaper to promote the quality of household nutrition using food vouchers than it was by handing out cash. 所以handing out cash和food voucher相比更加贵。因为这里涉及百分比所以是一个比较。所以答案填写Compared。第79题 c

18、ould be the most efficient way of promoting heath as well as relieving poverty. This very necessary in many developing countries. 这句话给出了79和80两题的答案。所以79是填写necessity。第80题填写 relieve。都是原词重现第80题 relieve 分析见上题。第四部分 任务型阅读（共10题，每题1分，共10分）Going broke in your golden years is commonplace, lasts a long time and
