23、 on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneChildhood exposure to a group of chemicals, which are used widely in a variety of products, including water-resistant clothing and microwave popcorn, could reduce the effectiveness of common vaccines, a new study has found.Researchers at the Harvard School of Public H
24、ealth in Boston looked at over 580 children and found that those who had higher concentrations of these perfluorinated（全氟化的） compounds (PFCs) in their blood had lower immune responses to diphtheria（白喉） and tetanus（破伤风） vaccinations.An insufficient immune response to a vaccine can mean a child is act
25、ually vulnerable to catching a disease even though they have been vaccinated against it, the researchers said.“When we take our kids to the doctors office to get their shots, we expect that the vaccines are going to work. What we found was that there was an increasing risk that they didnt work if th
26、e kids had been exposed to the PFCs,” study author Philippe Grand-jean was quoted as saying by LiveScience.(21) What makes the childrens common vaccines less effective according to the new study?A.

29、hots of vaccinesC. the doctors irresponsibilityD. the poor quality of vaccinesPassage TwoIn our society, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communication is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses or stand in football match queue
30、s, we are likely to have conversations in which we give information or opinions, and sometimes have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one o
31、f the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things above others have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, photography, and so on. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications
32、 so that local news often takes a back seat to national news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millio
33、ns of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communications industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advert
34、ising industries are all involved with their informing, educating and entertaining functions. Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.
35、However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.(25) The author probably means that speech on a person-to-person basis is the _ means of communication.A. primaryB. secondaryC. auxiliaryD. optional(26) According to Paragraph 2, with the rapid communication spee

Broadening peoples horizons.D. Keeping people interested in industries.(29) The last paragraph implies t
38、hat the mass media as the vast modern network of communications is likely to face or have more _.A. criticismsB. praisesC. condemnationsD. opportunitiesPassage ThreeRecruiting the right candidate to fill a vacancy can be a difficult and costly task. Appointing the wrong person could be an expensive
39、mistake which could cause personnel problems for the whole department. And, as every HR manager knows, it is much more difficult to get rid of someone than it is to employ them.The HR managers first decision is whether to recruit internal applicants or advertise the vacancy outside the company. Inte
40、rnal applicants are easy to recruit by memo, e-mail or newsletter. Furthermore, they are easy to assess and know the company well. However, they rarely bring fresh ideas to a position. Moreover, a rejected internal candidate might become unhappy and leave the company.Recruiting outside the company m
41、eans either advertising the vacancy directly or using an employment agency. If the company decides to advertise the vacancy directly, it has to decide where to place the advertisement. Traditionally this has meant newspapers and professional journals but now the Internet is also very popular. The de
42、cision normally depends on the vacancy. Companies advertise blue-collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers and senior management positions in national papers or professional journals, while the Internet is one of best ways of advertising IT vacancies or recruiting abroad. However, with the Interne
43、t there is a risk of receiving unsuitable applications, from all over the world.An agency can be either a commercial business or a government employment center. A company often uses a government agency to recruit blue-collar workers but normally prefers a commercial agency for its white-collar staff
44、. However, a commercial agency could be very expensive and the applicants are less likely to stay with the company for a long time.(30) The central idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. finding the right job applicant to fill a vacancy is never easyB. removing an undesirable employer is more diff
45、icult than hiring himC. personal problems can come up if the manager employs a wrong candidateD. every HR manager knows the troubles and expenses of recruitment(31) The advantage of internal recruitment is that _.A. it is easy for the company to evaluate the internal applicantsB. the candidates know
46、 the company well enough to start work right awayC. it is expensive to recruit by means of memo, e-mail or newsletterD. it is the HR managers first decision to make once he wants to recruit(32) What problem is the internal recruitment likely to cause?A. The boss new thoughts can not be brought to th
47、e job recruited.B. The unsuccessful applicant will feel sad and leave the company.C. The rejected applicant will become unhappy and refuse to work hard any further.D. It might lead to unexpected occurrences and no arrival of the desired.(33) The traditional external recruitment advertisement is through _.A. local employment agenciesB. the Internet, blog or FacebookC. newspapers and professional journals
