2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习精品题（37）及答案
【江苏省常州市北郊高级中学2013模拟】C
FROM lunch at the school canteen to the delicious dinner cooked by your mother, it’s easy to find pork, an important ingredient in Chinese cooking.
While enjoying the dishes, however, have you ever thought about how many government agencies are involved in ensuring the quality of the meat on your table?
Let’s list them.
The Agriculture Ministry supervises (监管) farmers raising pigs. The Commerce Ministry supervises those slaughtering (屠宰) them. When the pork is made into sausage, it is the responsibility of the quality supervision and inspection department to supervise production. When it is then sold in supermarkets, the department of industry and commerce steps in. When it enters restaurants, the task goes to the State Food and Drug Administration. And if food safety crimes occur, it is the police’s duty to find the criminals.
This overlapping (重叠) management often leads to the repetition of work and supervision blind spots, says Ma Kai, state councilor. Consumers may be confused about which government department they should go to when a quality problem involving pork occurs.
But the confusion will be soon clarified thanks to a government restructuring plan released on March 10 during the National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s uPolitical Consultative Conference.
According to the plan, a new general administration will be established and will be responsible for a unified supervision of food and drug safety and quality throughout the process of production, circulation and consumption.
So, all supervision before pigs are slaughtered will still be covered by the Ministry of Agriculture, but the duties after that fall on the new administration – the General Administration of Food and Drugs.
On the whole, the reform cuts the total number of government ministry level bodies from 27 to 25, while reorganizing certain other government agencies and departments. The plan is aimed at improving efficiency, China Daily reported.
Another highlight of the shake-up relates to the State Oceanic Administration (SOA).
In recent years, tension has been rising over territorial disputes with neighboring countries. The restructured agency will better protect China’s waters and marine resources, Xinhua said.
It will unify the coast guard forces of the Public Security Ministry, the fishery law enforcement (执行) team of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the maritime anti-smuggling (反走私) authorities of the General Administration of Customs.
The SOA currently has only one maritime law enforcement agency, China Marine Surveillance, and it doesn’t have nearly enough personnel or equipment to guard China’s more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline and 3 million square kilometers of territorial water.
63. Now which department will supervise restaurant owners who may serve sausage to customers?
A. the Agriculture Ministry B. the Commerce Ministry
C. the quality supervision and inspection department
D. the State Food and Drug Administration
64. According to the restructuring plan, the General Administration of Food and Drugs will be responsible for the supervision of_________.
A. the process of raising pigs B. the slaughtering of pigs
C. the production of sausages D. the management of farms
65. What can we infer from the passage?
A. It is reported that the restructuring plan is aimed at improving efficiency.
B. The Ministry of Agriculture will supervise the process after the pigs are slaughtered.
C. The tension over territorial disputes with neighboring countries is coming to an end.
D. China’s guard force over its waters and marine resources needs to be strengthened.
66. What is the purpose of the fourth paragragh?
A. To explain how the government supervise the meat production.
B. To explain the different roles of different departments
C. To show the inefficiency of the government administration.
D. To show how the job is divided among the departments.

It’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you’re about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life.

Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer.

Star talk
Lakers clash
WHILE the NBA All-Star game was heating up last week in Houston, relations between Kobe Bryant and his Lakers teammate Dwight Howard were icy cold.
The two have been at odds for some time. This time, Howard, 27, was found “joking and criticizing Kobe” behind his back to fellow NBA stars in the locker room, according to the New York Post. Reportedly, Howard “grabbed Kobe’s uniform, put it on, and imitated him in front of all the other players on the team”.
How did Kobe react? When he arrived in the locker room, he said “hello” to everyone on the team except Howard. He grabbed his stuff and then moved as far away from Howard as he could.
Top player
FORMER NBA star Yi Jianlian really knows the ropes of playing well – he won two Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards within a day. The first was the MVP at the Chinese Basketball Association’s All-Star game on Feb 24 in Guangzhou. “I should owe the award to my teammates,” Yi told Xinhua News Agency.
The 25-year-old also shared the regular season MVP with the Beijing Ducks’ Stephon Marbury. It’s the first time that a foreigner and a local have shared the award in the league’s 18-year history.
Beckham in China
BEING one of the most recognizable soccer players across the globe, David Beckham, 37, served as a special ambassador for the London Olympics in 2012. Now, the former England captain has been named the first global soccer ambassador for China.
After a year of crisis, including a match-fixing scandal (丑闻), Chinese soccer is trying to repair its image. Chinese officials expect that Beckham’s influence will help restore the game’s reliability in the country.
According to an official at the Chinese Football Association, Beckham will attend the matches of the Chinese Super League and visit clubs to gain deeper insight (深入了解) into Chinese soccer. He will also help to inspire children to play soccer.

IT has been a hard week for Justin Bieber. First the Canadian star was late for the first of several shows in London on March 5, then he nearly fainted (晕倒) on stage during the third show two days later. Bieber is currently on his Believe world tour, but fans were far from impressed when the singer made them wait for almost two hours on March 5. When he finally took the stage after 10 pm, some even booed (发出嘘声).
It’s a lot to take for the 19-year-old, so Bieber’s friend, singer Will.I.Am, says he has been “encouraging ” Bieber. According to Will.I.Am, Bieber’s week in London was just a “bump in the road” and he is still “a good kid”. “When you’re 17, 18, 19, 20, the world can get you off course, but he’s gonna be all right,” the veteran singer said.
