Food-born diseases are largely responsible for high levels of sickness and mortality in the general public, particularly for infants, young children, and the elderly. There are various reasons for this heart-breaking fact. In my opinion, the responsibility goes for the most part to the food producers especially those who fail to meet safety standards. In order to make the most profit, some food producers may even intentionally use such chemicals as pesticides, animal drugs, etc. , during manufacturing and processing just to make food look or taste good. At the same time, the government departments responsible for quality control fall to fulfill their duties, which makes the danger turn into a reality. Besides, the media actually cheat the customers in their deliberate efforts to advertise the problematic food. To make sure the food we eat is safe, the supervision of food production should be highly responsible. Whats more, it is important for the government to drastically increase legal penalties on those who neglect food safety regulations. Nevertheless, the general public should be more aware that a healthy life relies on the safety of foodstuff.写作点拨 本文要求就食品安全问题展开讨论。根据提纲，第一段陈述目前食品安全的现状，及其对人民身体健康的危害；第二段分析造成食品安全问题的原因；第三段针对食品安全问题提出应对的措施。Part Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-4, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 5-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Ways to Take It to the Next Level No matter what youre doing, there comes a time when you are going to want to take things up a notch. Maybe its your career - even if things are going along fine right now, ultimately youd like to get a promotion, increase your client base, or reach a larger audience. Or maybe its a hobby that you think youd like to turn into a career. Getting started with anything can be a struggle, but once you reach a certain level of success, it can be hard to figure out how to make whatever it is you do truly remarkable. The things we do have a way of developing their own inertia, and if were not careful, we get carried along in the routine without ever realizing the full potential of what we and our lives can be. How can you shake things up a bit? What do you have to do to take your project, your career, your product, or your life to the next level? Read on.1. Build Your Brand The strength of your brand is how well you are associated with whatever you do. When people hear the word lifehack, they think of personal productivity, and when they hear personal productivity they think of lifehack. Its a pretty strong brand. Some people have equally strong brands: when you hear about permission marketing, chances are you think of Seth Godin. How strongly is your name linked with what you do? What could you do to link them more strongly? Some things to consider: Traditional marketing: Commercials, print ads, billboards, bus wraps - anything that gets your name and message in peoples faces. There are a few problems, though: people might mistake your message, linking you with the wrong specialty; people tend to tune out a lot of advertising as a survival mechanism; people often respond negatively to blatant (炫耀的) branding efforts; its quite expensive. blogging: A blog is a conversation with your audience, and can help build up a loyal following that actually cares about what you do. Word-of-mouth: Hard to create and hard to fake, but very effective. Seek out people with a great deal of influence and focus on convincing them of your value. If Seth Godin wrote on his blog that you were the best web writer he knew of, we can bet that within the day your career would be at the next level (maybe the level after that, even!).2. Build Your Audience Make a concerted effort to increase the number of people who know about you. Branding is part of this, but its not all of it. Give something away, find a new outlet, tell everyone you meet what you do, hand out cards wherever you go, show up at conferences and exhibitions, go to your kids class rooms and talk about what you do (and make it interesting enough that they tell their parents). Make yourself useful so people have a compelling reason to pay attention.3. Increase Your Output Give your audience, whoever that is, more of what they expect from you. Double, triple, or sextuple your output. If youre a writer, write twice as much. If youre an actor, get into more plays. If youre a filmmaker, pledge to produce four short films this year instead of one. Make a painting a day. Aim to top your sales quotas by 50% every month. Do whatever it takes to make yourself more productive. Learn to do whatever you do in half the time - then halve it again.4. Improve Your Output Make whatever you make twice as well. Improve the quality of your work until people have no choice but to stop and gape (目瞪口呆). Create standards for your output, and aim to top them every single time. Take classes, read book, follow a mentor, practice twice as much, commit yourself to doing what it takes to master your craft or profession.5. Expand Your Niche (合适的位置、职业) Do what you do now but with a wider outlook. If you write about dogs, start writing about pets in general. If you sell widgets, get into the widget case business. If youre a musician, learn how to produce. Think about the people whose needs you arent meeting, and figure out how to meet them. Dont try to create a new niche altogether, just look for ways to complement and leverage (影响)the work youre already doing.6. Restrict Your Niche Or, do the opposite. Focus yourself on a narrow part of your niche until youre the only one doing it. If you write about sports, write about baseball, then write about left-handed pitchers. If you make household appliances, make appliances for college students (and then for left-handed college students, maybe). If you paint landscapes, paint trees. If you do marketing consulting, offer viral marketing techniques that work with teenage boys. Become the person people have to go to when they have very specialized needs, because youre the only one that does it.7. Cross-Develop Figure out how to use what you know in an entirely different way. If you coach little leaguers, write a book about coaching. If you offer one-on-one organization coaching, work with a developer to create home organization software. If youre a TV camera operator, tutor middle scholars in video podcasting. Find a new way to challenge yourself and put your knowledge to the test - while developing new knowledge and skills.8. Expand Your Network Your audience are the people who buy, read, or otherwise use your product; your network are the people that help you make it, market it, or distribute it. Focus on building strong relationships with a variety of people both in and out of your profession. Dont try to fake it - strong relationships have to be genuine or they wont last. Join a social networking site like Linked In and work it like mad. Go to trade shows, conferences, and exhibitions and talk to every exhibitor and every presenter. Make a list of 20 people in your field you want to know and e-mail them introductions. Build relationships with your l0 best clients. Build relationships with someone from your top competitors (ff thats legal). Join a professional organization and run for an office. Obviously these are not all exclusive - you can and sometimes have to do more than one at the same time. And theyre not ail necessary - some even contradict others. But all of them shake up your routines and make people pay attention to you, whether those people are potential clients, potential customers, or potential partners. None of these are keys to instant success. All of them require hard work and time to show any effect. If youre ready to take it to the next level - and youre ready to put in the work and commitment that entails - then go through the list and ask yourself how each item could help get you there.1. According to the author, the brand you use apparently reveals your social status and personalities.这道题您没有回答答案:定位 由题干中the brand可定位到第一个小标题下首段首句The strength of your brand is how well you are associated with whatever you do精解 段首处设题。本题考查对自我品牌塑造的认识。根据原句可知，个人品牌的强弱表明了自我与自我作为的联系程度，因此题干中说个人所使用的品牌揭示了自身的利：会地位和个性的说法与原文不符。2. Traditional strategy of making oneself advertised may sometimes bring unexpected negative effects apart from high cost.这道题您没有回答答案:定位 根据unexpected negative effects和high cost可定位到第一个小标题下第二段列举的第一点中末句最后部分people often respond negatively to blatant branding efforts；its quite expensive，精解 复杂句及特殊标点符号处设题。本题考查大众对自我标榜的态度。原文末句主干部分谈到自我标榜会带来问题，之后冒号内部分将问题具体罗列，该句最后罗列的内容respond negatively和its quite expensive与题干对应，因此题干说法与原文相符。3. To build your audience, youd better catch the opportunities to be acquainted with people and try to catch their attention on you.这道题您没有回答答案:定位 由题干中acquainted with people 和 attention可分别定位到第二个小标题下首句Make a concerted effort to increase the number of people who know about you和末句Make yourself useful so people have a compelling reason to pay attention精解 段落首尾处设题。本题考查争取听众的方法、手段。第二个小标题下首句部分与题干中catch the opportunities to be acquainted with people相符；末句与题干中catch their attention on you相符，因此题干的说法是正确的。4. Increasing ones output turns out to be the most important strategy in fulfilling the self-improvement.这道题您没有回答答案:?定位 由题干中increase your output可定位到第三个小标题下。精解 段落中心大意处设题。本题考查多产与个人发展的关系。根据原文第三个小标题下内容大意可知，该段主要陈述了多产的目的和方法，并未将该策略在个人发展中的重要性排列。题干说法在文中并未提及。5. To improve your output, youd better create a standard for your output and are determined to overtake it _.这道题您没有回答答案:every single time定位 由题干中imprve output和standard可定位到第四个小标题第三句Create standards for your output， and aim to top them every single time精解 此处要求填入状语，来修饰全句。本题考查提高工作质量的方法。第四个小标题第三句说要想提高质量就要为自己工作制定标准，而后每次都要超越原有标准。因此原句中every single time符合题干的要求，即为答案。6. Its advised to extend your professional interests to fields that complement and leverage the work _.这道题您没有回答答案:youre already doing定位 由题干中complement和leverage可定位到第五个小标题下末句Dont try to create a new niche altogether，just look for ways to complement and leverage the work youre already doing精解 此处要求填入部分修饰前面的名词the work。本题考查扩大视野与目前工作的关系。根据原句中look for ways to complement(做的事要与目前工作相互补充)及leverage the work youre already doing(所做之事要对目前工作产生巨大影响)可判断youre already doing符合要求。7. If you are outstanding in a certain field, you are more likely to be relied on when people have _.这道题您没有回答答案:very specialized needs定位 由题干中certain field可定位到第六个小标题下末句Become the person people have to go to when they have very specialized needs，because youre the only one that does it. 此处，certain field和 specialized needs呼应。精解 此处要求填入名词性短语，作have的宾语。本题考查精于专业知识的意义。根据原句可知，精于专业知识，当人们有这方面的专门需求时，便会受人青睐。因此原句中when引导的状语从句宾语即为本题答案。8. Using what you know in other fields offers you the chance not only to test the knowledge but also to develop _.这道题您没有回答答案:new knowledge and skills定位 由题干中test the knowledge可定位到第七个小标题下末句Find a new way to challenge yourself and put your knowledge to the testwhile developing new knowledge and skills精解 此处要求填入名词性短语作develop的宾语。本题考查在某一领域内的知识在其他领域的应用情况。原句破折号后部分是对原有知识运用的进一步阐释，可知developing new knowledge and skills是原有知识发展的结果，故可得答案new knowledge and skills。9. Its necessary for you to build sincere relationships with people in your profession as well as those _.这道题您没有回答答案:out of your profession定位 由题干中your profession可定位到第八个小标题下首段第二句Focus on building strong relationships with a variety of people both in and out of your profession精解 本题考查应与何人建立真诚的关系。根据题干as well as短语可判断，其后部分应与前面的in your profession并列。原句中介词短语out of your profession符合文意，且满足题干语法需要，即为答案。10. People as potential clients, customers, or partners help you to be noticed by others and to _.这道题您没有回答答案:shake up your routines定位 由题干中potential clients，customers，or partners可定位到第八个小标题下第二段第三句But all of them shake upto you，whether those，potential customers，or potential partners精解 此处要求填入动词短语与and前的动词不定式短语并列。本题考查潜在的客户、合作伙伴等对个人的发展所起的作用。根据原文意思，原句中与make people pay attention to you并列的shake up your routines即为本题答案。Part Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
