to children who swallowed magnets 用心 爱心 专心6 that fell off Tiny magnets inside the toys may fall off without being noticed by parents and babysitters The magnets can be swallowed or placed in children s noses or ears When more than one magnet is swallowed the magnets can attract each other and cause intestine perforations 肠内穿孔 which can be deadly The Consumer Product Safety Commission received 170 reports of the magnets coming out of these recalled toys There were three reports of serious injuries to children who swallowed more than one magnet All three suffered intestine perforations that required operations A 2 year old child stayed in hospital for 7 days and a 7 year old child was hospitalized for 12 days The recalled Polly Pocket toys contain plastic dolls and accessories 附件 that have small magnets The magnets measure one eighth inch in diameter 直 径 and are fixed in the hands and feet of the dolls and even in the plastic clothing hairpieces and other accessories to help the pieces stay on the dolls or the dolls houses The model number is printed on the bottom of the largest pieces on the toys Contact Mattel if you cannot find a model number on your product to determine if it is part of the recall Polly Pocket magnetic toys currently sold in stores are not included in this recall The model numbers included in the recall are B2632 B3158 B7118 G8605 H1537 and H3211 The toys were on sales in department stores and toy stores from May 2006 through September 2009 Consumers should immediately take these recalled toys away from children and contact Mattel for the return

completely The standard retirement age varies from country to country but it is generally between 50 and 70 according to the latest statistics 2011 However for a long time people have got into an argument about whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their own countries There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able Many people think that older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire Besides older employees are often extremely faithful employees and are more willing to implement company policies than the young A more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people To force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over Allowing old people to work indefinitely 无限地 however is not always a good policy Some people took the strong view that age alone is no guarantee of ability Many young employees have more experience or skills than older staff who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working lives Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization On the other hand older people should be rewarded by society for their life s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy leisure They can have time to do whatever they like that is they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goals With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low level positions there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers However this can affect the older individual s freedom and right to work In my opinion giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual 63 According to the passage older people should go on with work because A they will help the business not to fail quickly B they have grasped much practical experience C they need to have a sense of achievement D they want to learn more knowledge 64 The underlined word implement in Paragraph 2 probably means A take over B work on C get rid of D carry out 65 The third paragraph is mainly to tell us that A older people can t do their work well B young people usually have new ideas C it is better for older people to retire on time D older people would like to do something else 66 Which of the following shows the structure of the passage 用心 爱心 专心8 D Nowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods GM foods GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms 有机体 which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques These techniques are much more precise where an organis m is exposed to chemicals to create a non specific but stable change For many people the high tech production raises all kinds of environmental ethical 伦理的 health and safety problems Particularly in countries with long farming traditions the idea seems against nature In fact GM foods are already very much a part of our lives They were first put on the market in 1996 A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U S last year was the product of biotechnology according to the Department of Agriculture More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the U S this year The genetic genie is out of the bottle However like any new product entering the food chain GM foods must be subjected to careful testing In wealthy countries the debate about biotech is 用心 爱心 专心9 not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from and a supply that goes beyond the needs In developing countries desperate to feed fast growing and underfed populations the matter is simpler and much more urgent do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing Last year the world s population reached 6 billion The U N states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy About 400 million women of childbearing age don t have enough iron which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency a leading cause of blindness How can biotech help Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by prop damage attributable to drought poor soil and crop viruses 67 The passage mainly talks about A the world s food problem B the development in biotech C the genetically modified foods D the way to solve food shortages 68 According to the passage GM foods A will replace naturally grown foods B are far better than naturally grown foods C may help to solve the problem of poor nutrition D can cause serious trouble in developing countries 69 The underlined sentence The genetic genie is out of the bottle in Paragraph 2 probably means that A GM foods are available everywhere B the technology in producing GM foods is advanced C genetic technology may have uncontrollable powers D genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets 70 What s the writer s attitude towards GM foods A Enthusiastic B Cautious C Disapproving D Unbelievable 第二节 共 5 小题
