Irradiating Food
Irradiating fruits, vegetables, pork and chicken to kill insects and bacteria has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration over the past decade or so. Irradiation of other meats, such as beef and lamb, is being reviewed. Federal approval does not require that industry adopt the process, and few food processors presently offer irradiated products.
Market studies have shown that many consumers are afraid that eating irradiated foods may cause cancer, despite scientific studies that prove the safety of treated foods. Some people argue that more severe government inspection, higher food-safety standards, and more careful-preparation practices by consumers are all that is needed to ensure that food is safe.
Consequently, companies currently see no need to spend millions of dollars outfitting processing plants with the equipment necessary for a process that very few shoppers are in favor of.
All supermarkets that sell irradiated food must label the food either directly on the packaging,or, in the case of bulk items like fruits and vegetables, by placing a sign nearby. There is no requirement for the labeling of irradiated food served by chain restaurants or hospitals that buy directly from distributors, nor any regulations for products that contain irradiated ingredients.
Presently, the FDA allows food to be treated with three types of radiation-gamma rays, high-energy electrons, and X rays-and sets limits on doses, depending on the type of food. The principle is that the dose to be used for a certain type of food should not exceed the amount that is sufficient to kill most harmful insects and bacteria present in it. Different types of food, because of their molecular compositions, may require different doses of radiation.

第2部分：閱讀判斷16.A。題幹：物理學家長相是什麼樣子的，多數人持有相同的看法。利用題幹關鍵詞可以定位到第一段最後一句“Most people picked a white male of around 60，wearing glasses and with a white beard”，意爲“多數人都會挑選一個大約60歲的白頭髮的老人，戴眼鏡，留着白色鬍子”，由此可知題幹信息與原文信息相符合。
17.c。題幹：英國的多數物理學家都是劍橋大學畢業的。由題幹中專有名詞Cambridge回到原文定位，文中沒有提到此信息，故選C。
18.A。題幹：媒體和電影在推動科學家的瘋狂形象方面發揮了重要作用。該題的信息在第三段第一句，意爲“科學家的刻板形象已經持續了很長時間，因爲媒體和好萊塢的電影推動了這個穿白色實驗服、戴眼鏡、坐在寫滿公式的黑板旁邊的形象”。由此可知題幹信息與原文信息相符合，故選A。
19.C。題幹：未來女性科學家的`數量會大於男性科學家的數量。利用題幹關鍵詞womenscientists和men scientists進行定位，文中未提到此信息，故選C。
20.A。題幹：如果科學吸引人的話，會有更多孩子學習科學。利用題幹關鍵詞可以定位到第四段第二句，意爲“如果我們想鼓勵更多年輕人學習科學，我們就需要改變科學家的形象並且讓科學工作更吸引人”。由此可知題幹信息與原文信息相符合，故選A。
21.B。題幹：瘋瘋癲癲的科學家的形象對社會是有益的。根據第20小題定位的句子“如果我們想鼓勵更多年輕人學習科學，我們就需要改變科學家的形象並且讓科學工作更吸引人”可知題幹信息與原文信息顯然不相符合，故選B。
22.B。題幹：國際科學奧林匹克比賽每兩年舉行一次。利用專有名詞International Science Olympiads可以定位到文章最後一段，可知“國際科學奧林匹克比賽每年在不同國家舉行一次”。題幹信息與原文信息不相符合，故選B。
