22、ommon vaccines, a new study has found. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health 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
23、)vaccinations. An insufficient immune response to a vaccine can mean a child is actually 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
24、 work. What we found was that there was an increasing risk that they didnt work if the kids had been exposed to the PFCs,“ study author Philippe Grand-jean was quoted as saying by Live Science. 21 What makes the childrens common vaccines less effective according to the new study? （ A） The exposure o
25、f chemicals they used in childhood. （ B） The reduction of a series of chemicals in childhood. （ C） Childhood consumption of chemical products. （ D） Childhood contact with chemical products. 22 The Harvard School of Public Health experts found that there was _ relation between concentrations of chemi

A great deal of communication is pe
28、rformed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses or stand in football match queues, 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
29、 means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things above others have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advance
30、s in printing, photography, and so on. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications 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 t
31、o the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millions 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 b
32、roadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising 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 valua
33、ble to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. 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 co
34、mmunication. （ A） primary （ B） secondary （ C） auxiliary （ D） optional 26 According to Paragraph 2, with the rapid communication speed_. （ A） local and national news reach people at the same time （ B） national news reaches people even faster than local news （ C） local news reaches people faster than
35、national news （ D） two factors make the face-to-face contact the only form of communication 27 The word “confined“(Para. 3)most probably means “_. “ （ A） limited （ B） confirmed （ C） related （ D） concealed 28 According to Paragraph 4, which of the following is NOT what modem communication does? （ A）
36、Influencing peoples mode of life. （ B） Transmitting information. （ C） Broadening peoples horizons. （ D） Keeping people interested in industries. 29 The last paragraph implies that the mass media as the vast modern network of communications is likely to face or have more_. （ A） criticisms （ B） praise
37、s （ C） condemnations （ D） opportunities 29 Recruiting the right candidate to fill a vacancy can be a difficult and costly task. Appointing the wrong person could be an expensive mistake which could cause personnel problems for the whole department. And, as every HR manager knows, it is much more dif
38、ficult 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. Internal applicants are easy to recruit by memo, e-mail or newsletter. Further more, they are easy to assess and know the com
39、pany 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 means either advertising the vacancy directly or using an employment agency. If the company decides to advertise the vac
40、ancy 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 decision normally depends on the vacancy. Companies advertise blue-collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers and senior
41、 management positions in national papers or professional journals, while the Internet is one of the best ways of advertising IT vacancies or recruiting abroad. However, with the Internet there is a risk of receiving unsuitable applications from all over the world. An agency can he either a commercia
42、l 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. However, a commercial agency could be very expensive and the applicants are less likely to stay with the company
43、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 easy （ B） removing an undesirable employer is more difficult than hiring him （ C） personal problems can come up if the manager employs a wrong candidate （ D） every HR
44、 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 applicants （ B） the candidates know the company well enough to start work right away （ C） it is expensive to recruit by means of memo, e
45、-mail or newsletter （ D） 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 cannot be brought to the job recruited. （ B） The unsuccessful applicant will feel sad and leave the company. （ C） The
46、 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 agencies （ B） the Internet, blog or Facebook （ C） newspape
47、rs and professional journals （ D） direct recruitment means 34 The problem with the Internet as an external recruitment method is the risk of receiving_. （ A） a large number of false documents （ B） a large number of undesired applications （ C） a wide variety of candidates throughout the world （ D） a
48、great variety of world-wide junk e-mails 34 This month is expected to see that seminal(有创意的 )moment when digital cinema will outstrip the 35 mm technology that has been the dominant projection format in movie theatres for over 120 years. In 2009, digital accounted for only 15% of global screens. But
49、 the movie Avatar changed all that. 3D movies required digital, and Avatars phenomenal success with 3D pushed cinemas to adopt digital screens. IMS Screen Digest Cinema Intelligence Service estimates that by the end of 2012, digital will account for 63% of screens, and by 2015, 83 %. A majority of those screens will be based on Texas Instruments digital light processing(DLP)technology, a technology that uses millions of tiny mirrors on a tiny chip, each of t
