問題詳情

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】第一篇：In the past, geographic boundaries strictly framed a country. The internal affairs of one country, at that time, had littleinfluence on other countries, even the neighboring ones. Therefore, incidents of food safety only affected and spreadwithin one country, one city, one island or one village. However, with globalization, goods and products can flow freelybetween countries, regions, and continents. The food safety problem is therefore no longer a national or regional issue, butrather a global one.The Chinese milk scandal in 2008 involved infant formula and other food stuff adulterated with melamine. The incidentalmost caused a global panic, since the adulterated products were not only sold in the mainland, but also exported tooverseas markets, including Hong Kong.In 2011, industrial plasticizer was detected in some beverages produced in Taiwan, causing health concerns amongconsumers in regions where Taiwanese beverages were quite popular. The plasticizer was detected in some Hong Kongfood and medicines as well.Worse still, in Germany, people were warned not to eat cucumbers until tests could identify the source of a deadly
(E)coli outbreak. This outbreak was particularly nasty as young women were struck down, suffering from symptomsincluding stomach cramps and severe diarrhea. The scare spread across Europe, with 16 people killed. In many people'sminds, European countries have the strictest standards and checking procedures on their food safety. But the
(E) colicucumber incident brought home the reality that it was not an effective defense against such an outbreak.These diverse food safety issues from various parts of the world are ample evidence that food safety is not an endemicChinese problem. In fact, food safety is not even directly related to the development level of a place, thanks, no doubt, tothe connectivity of our age. If we do not maintain our vigilance, people's confidence in food safety can be shatteredinstantly—even in a developed country.
