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

[ 解析] 细节题根据短文的第一段第一句 “我为代表桑德河公司及其执行总裁——珍·金女士撰写这封推荐信感到十分荣幸 ”可以看出，作者代表的是桑德河公司及其执行总裁，故选D。A、B、C三项均为干扰项，在文中都有提及，但是与题干无关，不能选择。
37、A
[ 解析] 细节题根据短文第二段第二句可知 “该公司已和牧民家庭建立了长期合作，还引进了德国先进设备”。故选A。B项为干扰项，短文提及了与牧民家庭有长期合作， 但是没有说明是否为雇佣关系， 因此不能选择。短文提到公司引进先进的设备，但不是生产设备，所以C项也不能选择。而 D项未在文中出现，不能选择。
38、C
[ 解析] 细节题根据短文第二段最后一句可知 “…针对高收入的女性消费群体的新羊绒品牌”。故选 C。A、B、D三项均为干扰项，在文中没有提及，不能选择。

[ 解析] 词义题a、woman of her word或a man of his word意为“信守承诺，说话算数的人 ”，在这里暗指金女士是值得信赖的人。故选 A。B、C、D三项为干扰项，在文中没有提及，也与题干无关，不能选择。
