8、dal Widens As the scope of the food scandal widens in Taiwan more than 200 firms and 500 products have been involved so far some tainted commodities have been discovered in the mainland and the ripples of the DEHP(塑化剂 ) scare here call for a further response on the part of the authorities. The Gener

9、al Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has made the sensible decision to suspend the imports of Taiwan firms whose products have been confirmed as problematic. That was a necessary move, yet it is sufficient only to prevent a potential threat to public health from broade

10、ning 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 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

11、 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 in Taiwans food industry, as well as the latest report that the harmful substance was discovered in imported cosmetics, it might be more

12、meaningful if the inspection extends beyond the designated items and product batches. Since some of the firms involved in the DEHP scandal have mainland subsidiaries, consumers need to know whether the food products they make and sell here are safe or not. Some of the firms involved have already cla

13、imed 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 statement needs to be confirmed. And this is where our quality watchdogs should step in. Aside from worries about food products made in T

14、aiwan, consumers here are wondering if DEHP, or any similar additive, has been used by local manufacturers. Since no inspection has been targeted specifically at DEHP, 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

15、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 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

16、 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 Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has made decision to suspend most of the imports of Taiwan firms. （ A） Right

17、 （ 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 quality watchdogs should step in to confirm if some Taiwan firms products on the mainland are free of DEHP. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not me

18、ntioned 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 targeted specifically at DEHP or any similar additive. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 Speculations about the existence of DEH

19、P 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题要求从所给的 6个选项中为第 2-5段每段选择一个最佳标题； (2)第 27-30题要求从所给的 6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳选项。 23 Stanford University 1 Stanford University, famous as one of northern C

20、alifornias several institutions of higher learning, is sometimes called “the Harvard of the West.“ The closeness of Stanford to San Francisco, a city thirty-two miles to the north, gives the university a decidedly cosmopolitan (世界性的 ) flavor. 2 The students are enrolled mainly from the western Unite

21、d States. But most of the fifty states send students to Stanford, and many foreign students study here, as well. And standards for admission remain high. Young men and women are selected to enter the university from the upper fifteen percent of their high school classes. 3 Not only because of the hi

Fro

32、m earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again

33、. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a childs development. In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his

34、life. So a babys ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no boun

35、ds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws (七巧板 ) and construction toys; painting, scribbling (涂鸦 ) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and p

36、retending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. By the third stage of play development - from five to seven or eight years - the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see Which ty

37、pe of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance h

38、as changed - to a child of nine or ten years, toys. and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. 31 The passage tells us that as a child grows up （ A） he should be allowed to choose his own toys. （ B） he should be given identical toys. （ C） he should be given different toys. （ D） he should be g

39、iven fewer and fewer toys. 32 According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents （ A） determine his character. （ B） will not change after the age of three. （ C） partly determine the standard he is likely to reach. （ D） to a large extent determine the choice of toys. 33 Wh

40、o have the best chance of growing up successfully? （ A） Those who tend to overeat. （ B） Those who are given a lot of toys. （ C） Those who are given toys, talked to and played with. （ D） Those who can share their toys with their playmates. 34 We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curio

41、sity （ A） when he is two. （ B） when he is around four. （ C） when he is six. （ D） when he is eight. 35 The passage is mainly about （ A） the importance of pre-school education. （ B） the importance of schooling. （ C） the role of play in a childs development. （ D） the choice Of toys for adolescents. 36

42、Eat More, Weigh Less, Live Longer Clever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near-starvation diet prolongs the life of many animals. Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston, US, and his colleagues have been able to extend the lifespan (寿命 ) of mice by 18 per cent by bl

43、ocking the rodents (啮齿动物 ) increase of fat in specific cells. This suggests that thinness-and not necessarily diet-promotes long life in “calorie (热量卡 ) restricted“ animals. “Its very cool work,“ says aging researcher Cynthia Kenyon of the University of California, San Francisco. “These mice eat all

44、 they want, lose weight and live longer. Its like heaven.“ Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents. Whether this works in humans is still unknown, partly because few people are willing to submit to such a strict diet. But many researchers

45、hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life. One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells. But Kahns team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin. To find o

46、ut, they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin (胰岛素 ) receptor (受体 ) gene in lab mice-but only in their fat cells. “Since insulin is needed to help fat cells store fat, these animals were protected against becoming fat,“ explains Kahn. This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic

47、effects. By three months of age, Kahns modified mice had up to 70 per cent less body fat than normal control mice, despite the fact that they ate 55 per cent more food per gram of body weight. In addition, their lifespan increased. The average control mouse lived 753 days, while the thin rodents ave

48、raged a lifespan of 887 days. After three years, all the control mice had died, but one-quarter of the modified rodents were still alive. “That they get these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial,“ says Leonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute, of Technology, who studie

49、s calorie restriction and aging. But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible for increased lifespan in calorie-restricted animals. “It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life,“ he points out, “and that would be very interesting.“ 36 Ronald Kahn and his colleagues can make mice live longer by （ A） offering them less food. （ B） giving them a balanced diet. （ C） disrupting the specific genes in their fat cells. （ D） preventing them growing larger.
