　　1．A.afraid

　　答案：D　由句內邏輯結構推斷出用eager，因為有“share our experiences or emotions with our friends”。

　　2．A.shoulder

　　B．hand

　　C．ear

　　D．eye

　　答案：C　由“But”轉折引出作者要表達的主題及觀點，當我們變成一個傾聽者時，往往沒有足夠的耐心并給予對方好的建議。故lend an ear“供給別人一個耳朵”，即為一個傾聽者，要聯系下文。

　　3．A.respond

　　B．explain

　　C．argue

　　答案：A　見上題解釋，及文章最后一句話的提示詞“responding”。

　　答案：B

　　5．A.difficult

　　B．old

　　D．speaker

　　答案：C　上文解析。

　　D．up

　　答案：A　put sth. away“把某物收起來”；put off“取消，推遲”；put out“清除垃圾，熄滅”；put up“提出建議，張貼，留宿某人”。

　　[2024·遼寧五校聯考]As globalization continues to make the world a smaller place, and goods become more accessible across borders,

　　concerns about food safety in the Asia-Pacific 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 nonAPEC 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 (監督),

　　exchange information, and improve the overall food safety

　　standard in the Asia-Pacific region，”said director of China's

　　General Administration of Quality Supervision Wu Qinghai.

　　For the first time the forum has brought together high-level 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 (經濟一體化)．

　　通過APEC論壇，各國之間將更加密切地合作，食品安全問題將得到更有效的監管和處理，各成員國都會從中受益。

　　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.

　　答案：C　考查細節理解。根據第四段中的“the forum has brought

　　together high-level regulators,

　　academics, and industry

　　stakeholders to talk about their respective roles in safety

　　supervision”可知，應選C項。

　　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

　　答案：C

　　考查細節理解。根據第五段中的“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”可知，連續的國內食品安全問題打擊了消費者的信心，他們更加愿意買進口產品，但是進口食品的質量問題也開始顯現，即C項正確，A、B項錯誤；文中第五段的最后一句表示來自35個國家和地區的超過400批次的進口食品不達標而非只有35個國家和地區向中國出口食品，故D項錯誤。

　　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

　　答案：B考查詞義猜測。根據全文大意可知，各國通過APEC論壇加強合作，積極尋求更好的方法來解決食品安全問題。由此可推知，B項“處理，解決”與address含義相近。

　　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.

　　答案：D　考查細節理解。根據第一段中的“and goods become more accessible across borders, concerns about food safety in the Asia-Pacific region have steadily risen over the years”可知，A、C項表述正確；根據第三段中的“As consumers are faced with more varieties of food, the potential food safety risk also becomes bigger”可知，B項表述正確；D項與第四段的第一句不符，故選D項。

　　1．accessible adj. 易接近的；可進入的

　　2．steadily adv. 平穩地，穩定地

　　3．potential n．/adj. 潛力；潛在的

　　4．exchange vt./n. 交換，兌換

　　5．import v．/n. 進口，輸入

　　1．be faced with 面對，面臨

　　2．for the first time 首次；第一次

　　3．benefit from 從……中受益

　　原文：However, problems related to quality of those imported goods also began to show.(分詞作定語)

　　譯文：然而，與那些進口商品相關的質量問題逐漸顯示出來。

　　仿寫：Don't use words, expressions or phrases known_only_to_people_with_specific_knowledge.

　　不要運用只有具有特定知識的人才知道的詞匯和表達方式。
