9、ered in the ma inland and the ripples of the DEHP(塑化剂 ) scare here call for a further response on the part of the authorities. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has made the sensible decision to suspend the imports of Taiwan firms whose products have been c

10、on firmed as problematic. That was a necessary move, yet it is sufficient only to prevent a potential threat to public health from broadening further. At this point, the top priority for the safety authorities should be tracking down and recalling all the suspected beverages, snacks and perhaps raw

11、materials from Taiwan. And it will do so, only if the quantity of problematic products in the mainland market is very, very small, as has been claimed by the companies themselves, and all of them are retractable. However, given the toxic nature of the plasticizer DEHP, its reportedly long existence

12、in Taiwans food industry, as well as the latest report that the harmful substance was discovered in imported cosmetics, it might be more meaningful if the inspection extends beyond the designated items and product batches. Since some of the firms involved in the DEHP scandal have mainland subsidiari

13、es, consumers need to know whether the food products they make and sell here are safe or not. Some of the firms involved have already claimed their mainland companies have independent suppliers, so their products on the mainland are free of DEHP. It would be wonderful if that is the truth. But that

14、statement needs to be confirmed. And this is where our quality watchdogs should step in. Aside from worries about food products made in Taiwan, consumers here are wondering if DEHP, or any similar additive, has been used by local manufacturers. Since no inspection has been targeted specifically at D

15、EHP, nobody can provide a definite answer. But considering the potentially high stakes, there has to be one. And we do not think it is a good idea for our authorities to wait until DEHPs existence in food products becomes prevalent to launch a probe. Some speculations about the existence of DEHP in

16、mainland food sectors might turn out to be groundless in the end. But because of its hazardous potential, even as a pre -emptive step, it is essential we act early. 16 More than 500 tainted commodities have been discovered in the mainland. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 The General Admi

17、nistration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has made decision to suspend most of the imports of Taiwan firms. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 The toxic plasticizer DEHP, was reportedly discovered in imported cosmetics. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 Our qual

18、ity watchdogs should step in to confirm if some Taiwan firms products on the mainland are free of DEHP. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 Consumers want to know if some of the firms involved in the DEHP scandal are fined. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 No inspection has been t

19、argeted specifically at DEHP or any similar additive. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 Speculations about the existence of DEHP in European beverage sectors turned out to be true. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23-30题，每题 1分，共 8分 ) 下面的短文后有 2项测试任务： (1)第 23-26题要求从所给

Except your beloved whose face you might have looked at many times very closely, look at the face of any person well known to you, and focus your gaze for a few moments. I am sure you will fin

21、d a different face quite unknown to you. This is the real face of the subject person. You will be surprised that before this focus, you were having quite a different view of the person in your mind. For the same reason, a person may look differently in different photographs of his/her. 2. You may be

22、 thinking that you know many persons in reality but it seldom true. You know a person in accordance with your own imagination of the person and accordingly develop your perception about him/her. And this perception of yours is highly influenced by your own personality. Very often, good persons perce

23、ive all others as good persons and vice versa. This may be said that every perception of a person about others is highly subjective, and this can not be avoided. Very often, subjectivity is criticized and objectivity is appreciated but the reality of life is that none can be absolutely objective abo

24、ut anything. Subjectivity can never be avoided, and this is true for ones perceptions about other persons. 3. A wishful perception is not only about others but about oneself too. We all ignore our realities and present ourselves in accordance with our wishes. Since, we keep on presenting ourselves i

25、n accordance with our wishes, we tend to become what we want to be. Thus, in other words, our thoughts about ourselves keep on molding us. The perceptions about the self and the others do make what we often call as “hello effect“ of the personalities which is quite different from the realities. 4. F

26、rom the above, it is clear that no realities of two persons interact with each other but false wishful perceptions about the interacting persons. Since a person is perceived differently by different persons, and he/she has a different perception about him/herself, all interactions are between the pe

27、rceived personalities and not the real personalities. We can never be objective. Reality of a person is very often full of undesirable things, like nakedness of a person is never better than his/her presentation as well -dressed. Similarly, if realities of personalities come to the forefront in inte

28、ractions, a lot of mutual bitterness will come to surface and that will prove disastrous to human societies. This may look immoral for us not to be real ourselves, but it is all the way desirable. A. Personality and Environmental Effects B. Presentation of the Self C. Perceive the Difference D. Pers

29、onality and Parenting E. Perception of a person is highly subjective F. The Reality of Interactions 23 Paragraph 1_ 24 Paragraph 2_ 25 Paragraph 3_ 26 Paragraph 4_ 26 A. a lot of mutual bitterness will come B. highly subjective C. differently by different persons D. keep on molding you E. in accorda

31、分 ) 下面有 3篇短文后有 5道题。请根据短文内 容，为每题选 1个最佳选项。 30 Hunting for a Job Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the sites “personal search agent. “ Its an interactive feature that le

32、ts visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E -mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D. C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. “I struck gold,“ s

33、ays Redmon, who E - mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in - house counsel for a company. With thousands of career - related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time -consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the database

34、s. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks.

For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept what you think you w

35、ant to do-then broaden it. “None of these programs do that,“ says another expert. “Theres no career counseling implicit in all of this. “ Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E - mail, consider it a rem

36、inder to check the database again. “I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me,“ says the author of a job -searching guide. Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When CareerSites agent sends out messages to those who

37、have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them and they do. “On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase i

38、n our traffic,“ says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite. Even those who arent hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for

39、a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. “You always keep your eyes open,“ he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you. 31 How did Redmon find his job? _ （ A） By searching openings in a job database. （ B）

40、By posting a matching position in a database. （ C） By using a special service of a database. （ D） By E -mailing his resume to a database. 32 Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents? _ （ A） Lack of counseling. （ B） Limited number of visits. （ C） Lower efficiency. （ D） Fewer succ

41、essful matches. 33 The expression “tip service“ (Paragraph 3) most probably means_. （ A） advisory （ B） compensation （ C） interaction （ D） reminder 34 Why does CareerSites agent offer each job hunter only three job options? _ （ A） To focus on better job matches （ B） To attract more returning visits （

43、also helpful to those already employed. （ D） Some agents stop sending information to people once they are employed. 35 The Slowing Economy When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isnt biting her nails just yet. But the 47 -year-old manicurist isnt cutting, filing or polishing as many nails

44、 as shed like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “Im a good economic indicator,“ she says. “I provide a service that people can do without when theyre concerned about saving s

45、ome dollars,“ So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle -brow Dillards department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I dont know if other clients are going to abandon me, too. “ she says. Even before Alan Greenspans admission that Americas red -hot economy is coolin

46、g, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious app

47、roach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last years pace. But dont sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only mildly concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic a-bout the economys long -term prospects, even as they do some mo

48、dest belt -tightening. Consumers say theyre not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. Home prices are holding steady in most regions. In Manhattan, “theres a new gold rush happening in the $4 million to #10 million range, predominantly fed by

49、Wall Street bonuses,“ says broker Barbara Corcoran. In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied(疯狂的 ) overbidding quiets. “Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three,“ says John Tealdi, a Bay Area real - estate broker. And most folks still feel pretty comfortable about their ability to find and keep a job. Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown. Potential home buyers would cheer for lower interest rates. Emp
