As globalization continues to make the world a smaller place, and goods become more accessible across borders,concerns about food safety in the AsiaPacific region have steadily risen over the years. An APEC forum is being held in Beijing, to find ways to better address the problem.
156 participants from 19 APEC economies and 4 non-APEC members attended the APEC Food Safety Cooperation Forum. Created 7 years ago, the forum has been actively looking for ways to strengthen food safety standard in the region, without affecting trade.
“As consumers are faced with more varieties of food, the potential food safety risk also becomes bigger. This forum has helped APEC economies to cooperate in supervision (监督), exchange information, and improve the overall food safety standard in the AsiaPacific region,” said director of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision Wu Qinghai.
For the first time the forum has brought together highlevel regulators, academics, and industry stakeholders to talk about their respective roles in safety supervision. They say governments alone cannot shoulder this heavy duty.
In China, the continuous food safety problems have greatly hurt consumers' confidence in domestic products; therefore more turned to imports. However, problems related to quality of those imported goods also began to show. In July this year, more than 400 batches (批)of food imports from 35 countries and regions were found substandard by the country's top quality supervisor.
Governments and industries have been brought closer by this forum. As food moves more freely beyond borders, this forum is hoped to promote safety control cooperation, so APEC members can better benefit from the economic integration (经济一体化).
1.What kind of function can the forum play?
A.It has greatly influenced the economy in the area.
B.It has long been able to put every side's efforts together.
C.It helps to bring government regulators and industries together.
D.It has found ways to deal with safety problems.
2.The last but one paragraph tells us that ________.
A.the Chinese customers are more satisfied with their food safety
B.food imported from other countries are indeed high in quality
C.many Chinese customers would rather buy some foreign food
D.there are only 35 countries and regions exporting food to China
3.The underlined word “address” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A.send a letter about B.deal with
C.deliver a speech on D.call off
4.According to the article, which of the following statements is WRONG?
A.People can buy foreign food more easily than ever.
B.The more varieties of food, the bigger the potential food safety risk.
C.Food safety problems have appeared many times before this forum.
D.Governments have started their cooperation with academies and industries before this forum.

As smart devices continue to fill people’s daily life, the debate over their place in the classroom has grown increasingly. Now, a study conducted at the United States Military Academy just might put an end to it.
In a recent investigation, researchers found that students who were permitted to use laptops or tablets in the classroom performed worse than those who did not- and those with higher initial GPAs（平均成绩）were most heavily affected.
While some argue that laptops aid students in notetaking and comprehension, many say that they couldn’t pay attention to the lessons. To get to the bottom of the issue, researchers investigated the effect of laptops and tablets on student performance in a course at a school.
In the study, the class was then divided into two “treatment groups”. The first treatment group was permitted to use laptops and tablets for purposes relating to their lesson. If the student was obviously distracted, professors could stop them from using the device. In the second group, students could only use tablets, making the screen easily visible to the professors. When it came time for final exam scores, the researchers found that using a laptop or tablet in the classroom had caused a drop of roughly one- fifth of a standard. The results for the two treatment groups were nearly the same, they say.
And, the negative effects were seen most heavily in male students. The estimated effects of the two treatment groups are nearly same, suggesting that even allowing students to use computer devices in a manner that is controlled by the professor can have harmful effects on classroom performance.
The researchers say that both unrestricted and restricted use may affect students in a number of ways. It could lead to distractions, in which students are checking social media or even doing homework for another class, and it may reduce students’ abilities to effectively take notes.
1.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph may refer to .
A. the device
B. the debate
C. the classroom
D. the study
2.Who suffered from the use of smart devices most in the study?
A. The male students with higher GPAs.
B. The students with poor academic performance.
C. The students who could use laptops or tablets freely.
D. The male students who could use laptops or tablets under control.
3.What caused the drop of the students’ scores?
A. The comprehension.
B. The note-taking
C. The distraction
D. The bad teaching

Finding fish is going to get harder as climate change continues to heat the world's oceans. A new study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable catch of 124 species of fish and shellfish. Sustainable catch refers to the amount that can be harvested without doing long-term damage to the health of populations of some species.
Overfishing has made that decline worse, researchers say. Overfishing refers to catching so many fish that the size of the population falls. In some parts of the world, such as the heavily fished Sea of Japan, the decrease is as high as 35 percent. That's a loss of more than one in every three fish.
Researchers examined changes in 235 populations of fish and shellfish between 1930 and 2010. Those fish populations spread far apart across 38 ocean regions. Temperature changes vary from one ocean site to another. But on average over that time, Earth's sea-surface temperatures have risen by about half a degree Celsius.
On average, that warming has caused the sustainable catch to drop by 4.1 percent, the study found. About 8 percent of the fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming. However, about 4 percent of some populations increased. That's because certain species have thrived in warmer waters. One example is a kind of black sea fish. It lives along the northeastern U.S. coast. As warming continues, these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit.
About 3.2 billion people worldwide rely on seafood as a source of food. That means it's urgent for commercial fishing fleets and regulators to consider how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea.
1.What does the new study discover？
A.Overfishing is to blame for fish health.
B.Warming seas cause fewer fish and shellfish.
C.Seafood matters to people's health worldwide.
D.The living regions of fish and shellfish are different.
2.What does the underlined word "thrived" in paragraph 4 probably mean？
A.Survived narrowly. B.Disappeared soon.
C.Decreased sharply. D.Developed quickly.
3.What do we know about species of fish and shellfish？
A.About 8 percent of them suffered from a great loss.
B.About 35 percent of them survived in the Sea of Japan.
C.About 3.2 billion species have been saved up to now.
D.About 80 species have died out because of warming seas
4.What is the author’s attitude towards the new discovery?
A.Satisfied B.Not interested
C.Worried D.Terrified

New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk（收缩）. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communication’s equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic(国内的) business efforts.
Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive(行政的) ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more common.
Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate(候选人) the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients(客户) over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.
1.What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Negative. D. Positive.
2.With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, business people_________.
A. have to get familiar with modern technology
B. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations
C. are placing more importance on their overseas business
D. are eager to work overseas
3. In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Para. 3) probably means _________.
A. being unable to think properly for lack of insight
B. being totally out of touch with business at home
C. missing opportunities for promotion when abroad
D. leaving all care and worry behind
4.According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?
A. Connections with businesses overseas. B. Ability to speak the client’s language.
C. Technical know-how. D. Business experience.
