第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并将答案写在答题卡上。

A

The Shanghai Technical Supervision Bureau recently released the results of a sample survey of mobile-phones being sold in the city’s markets. The survey revealed that nine of 14 types, or 64 percent, of imported brand-name mobile-phones fulfilled the standards.

A large number of the low-quality ‘foreign’ cellphones which were marketed as world-famous brands were actually fake (假的) shoddy products lacking the necessary information such as registered trademarks (注册商标), factory of origin, quality certifications and safety indices (指数).

In addition, a survey of Shanghai footwear markets conducted by the Bureau on 30-odd occasions since early this year indicated various brands of ‘foreign shoes,’ including Nike and Puma, were low-quality fake goods. The so-called world-famous brands, priced between 300-500 yuan per pair, were actually worth only 40-60 yuan.

An official from the China Consumer Association pointed to the following complaints concerning “foreign goods” quality problems related to individual products have developed into a universal problem directly related to quantity shipments of goods. It is thus quite obvious that the punishment for fake foreign goods is a task requiring the extreme immediacy (迫切性).

The appearance of fake low-quality foreign goods has disadvantageously affected the normal operations of China’s real foreign-goods markets, has greatly harmed the interests of consumers and resulted in heavy losses in state tax revenue(税收). Officials have pointed out that the key to cracking down on fake foreign goods is to attack illegal acts related to selling fake foreign goods of poor quality at the prices applicable for real products.

Officials recommend that product inspection, technical supervision and industrial and commercial departments should strengthen law enforcement efforts, increase the frequency of inspections, and remove the sources of fake foreign goods.

Companies producing and marketing fake foreign goods should be given severe punishment, with all cases referred to the law departments for trial and public supervision should be strengthened. Consumers, on the other hand, should make every effort to constantly improve their ability to identify fake foreign goods, and should avoid blindly purchasing such products simply because of their low price.

A. poor-quality       B. branded        C. low-price       D. foreign

A. “foreign shoes” of various brands were of low quality

B. many of the world famous brand shoes sold were actually fake ones

C. world-famous brands of shoes should be sold at the price of 40 to 60 yuan

D. people were paying much more than they should to buy foreign goods

58. An official from the China Consumer Association pointed out that ______.

A. the quality of foreign goods should be improved immediately

B. more and more people were dissatisfied with the quality of foreign goods

C. the problem of fake foreign goods should be dealt with immediately

(Reuters)—A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew was presumed to have crashed off the Vietnamese coast on Saturday, and European officials said two people on board were using false identities.

There were no reports of bad weather and no sign of why the Boeing 777-200ER would have vanished from radar screens about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.

“We are not ruling out any possibilities,” Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad JauhariYahya told a news conference.

By the early hours of Sunday, there were no confirmed signs of the plane or any wreckage, well over 24 hours after it went missing. Operations will continue through the night, officials said.

There were no indications of sabotage (蓄意破坏) nor claims of an attack. But the passenger list issued by the airline included the names of two Europeans—Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi—who, according to their foreign ministries, were not in fact on the plane.

A foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna said: “Our embassy got the information that there was an Austrian on board. That was the passenger list from Malaysia Airlines. Our system came back with a note that this is a stolen passport.”

Austrian police had found the man safe at home. The passport was stolen two years ago while he was travelling in Thailand, the spokesman said.

The foreign ministry in Rome said no Italian was on the plane either, despite the inclusion of Maraldi’s name on the list. His mother, RenataLucchi, told Reuters his passport was lost, presumed stolen, in Thailand in 2013.

U.S. and European security officials said that there was no proof of any terrorist link and there could be other explanations for the use of stolen passports.

61. What was Ahmad JauhariYahya’s attitude?

A. Uncertain.             B. Negative.          C. Positive.          D. Confident.

62. According to the passage, the foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna had made sure ______.

A. two passports had been stolen by two Europeans

B. Christian Kozel was the man who kidnapped the plane

C. the Austrian on board was actually at home

D. Christian Kozel lied to the police

63. Which of the following is true about Maraldi?

A. He was from Austria.

B. He was found safe at home.

C. His mother was sad when she saw his name on the list.

D. His passport was lost in Thailand.

64. Who should be responsible for the missing of the plane according to the passage?

A. Terrorists.                     B. Two people using false identities.

C. We are not sure.                D. Christian Kozel and Luigi Maraldi.
