21、Dynamic clearing

Dynamic clearing policy means stamping out an outbreak whenever it occurs and doing so in a relatively short time frame so it won’t lead to community spread. It does not mean the whole country has no infected cases. 【1】.

Putting people first

China’s dynamic clearing approach is characterized by its adherence to the principle of “people and life first”. The number of deaths attributable to the Omicron variant of the virus is more than those caused by the Delta variant. The WHO has rightly called the death toll “beyond tragic”.

With the largest senior population in the world, China has a sizable number of people with chronic underlying diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. 【2】.

A scientific approach

The dynamic clearing policy China has adopted is a scientific approach to fighting the novel coronavirus in line with its national conditions. It is wrong to consider the Omicron variant of the virus as no worse than the virus that causes the common flu.

It is irresponsible for some politicians to compare infections of the Omicron variant to a “flu”. 【3】. They do so out of a cynical need to cover up their failure in responding to it.

【4】

Dynamic clearance measures change in accordance with the situation. If an outbreak is detected early, health workers only need to quarantine and treat patients while keeping an eye on quarantined close contacts.

Under the policy, so long as there is no community spread it is acceptable for cases to exist in quarantine because they are temporarily isolated.

Supporting the global economy

The dynamic clearing policy has so far proved successful in striking a delicate balance between maintaining economic and social development and controlling the spread of the virus.

【5】, enabling it to resume its economic activities and keep transmission of the virus localized whenever a cluster of infections appears.

A．A timely strategy.

B．Changing the world.

C．It is not supported by any scientific evidence.

D．Here are some reasons to stick to dynamic clearing policy.

E．It is this policy that has made it possible for China to control the virus most rapidly.

F．This has enabled China to continue to serve as the bedrock of the global supply chain.

G．China’s public health system would face unbearable pressure from a nationwide outbreak.

22、   John Harrison has an enviable job in most people’s opinion. He’s the official taster for Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, one of the best-selling ice-cream brands in the U.S.A. On an average day, Harrison has to sample sixty ice creams at the Dreyer’s headquarters. When he isn’t doing that, he travels all over the country, buying Dreyer’s ice cream in supermarkets so that he can carry out spot checks for appearance and flavor. But, no matter how wonderful this job may sound, it is actually quite tough. It’s difficult work, requiring discipline, selflessness, and thorough preparation.

Before tasting a sample, Harrison uses his eyes first. If the ice cream doesn’t look attractive, he skips it. Then, he uses a gold spoon instead of one made of wood, plastic, or other metals. This is because regular spoons leave an aftertaste that can dull the taste buds(味蕾). In addition, the temperature of the ice cream may also influence the taster’s taste buds.

When Harrison samples ice cream, he first takes only a small bite of the ice cream, swishes it around in his mouth to introduce it to each of his taste buds, lightly licks his lips, and then gently breathes in so as to bring the smell up through the back of his mouth to his nose. With each step, he carefully sizes up whether the ice cream conveys the ideal balance between dairy sweetness and the flavor of the added ingredients. And last of all, no matter what the ice cream tastes like, he spits(吐) it out, since a full stomach makes for a dull palate(迟钝的味觉).

For Harrison, keeping a sharp palate means no onions, garlic, or cayenne pepper. He also doesn’t have any coffee or tea, since these block the taste buds. But to him, this is just a small price to pay for what he calls “the world’s best job” .

Harrison’s family has been in the ice-cream business for four generations, and Harrison himself has spent almost his whole life in it as well. Yet, he has never lost his love of the cold, creamy sweetness. He orders ice cream in restaurants for dessert, even when he’s not at work. On these occasions, he swallows the ice cream, taking in about a liter a week. Though he has gained some weight over the years he’s been with Dreyer’s, he couldn’t care less. “Who would trust a skinny ice-cream taster?” he jokes.

【1】What is forbidden in Harrison’s job?

A.Doing shopping. B.Eating the ice cream.

C.Using gold spoons. D.Skipping the ice scream.

【2】What can we learn about Harrison?

A.He learned his work skills from his family.

B.His job affects his appetite for the ice cream.

C.He is willing to give up something for his job.

D.He has to gain some weight to meet the need of work.

【3】What does Harrison think of his job?

A.Creative. B.Ordinary.

C.High-paying. D.Proud.

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To describe Harrison’s job and how he does it.

B.To analyze the reasons why Harrison chose his job.

C.To make suggestions on how to apply for popular careers.

D.To introduce the advantages of working for a best-selling brand.

24、Have you ever wondered why the world is full of so many people who are incredibly incompetent at the very thing they are paid to do? If so, an educationalist called Laurence J. Peter may have the answer.

In Peter’s view, most people were promoted based on their current performance, with no real consideration of their ability to take on greater responsibility. Eventually, “every employee tends to rise to his or her level of incompetence”, as he wrote. This is the law he termed the“Peter Principle”.

The strongest evidence for the theory comes from a recent study of 131 companies that all used the same performance management software. As you might expect, the team found that the best salesmen or saleswomen were the ones who tended to be promoted. And the study found that managers who used to be very high-performing sales workers tended not to bring significant assistance to their colleagues.

There are lots of potential reasons why this might occur. The personal drive-even aggression-that is needed to promote your own individual sales doesn’t necessarily transform into the interpersonal skills necessary to motivate others, for instance.

In the meantime, knowledge of the “Peter Principle” might be useful for each of us personally. If you frequently find yourself disappointed with your own boss or with your subordinates (下属), it’s worth considering the possibility that you’ve already reached your “level of incompetence”.

That’s not always easy to recognize. As Peter put it, “competence, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder”, but a modest awareness may just encourage you to correct your weaknesses, or to find a new position where your unique talents are of greater value.

【1】Which of the following may Peter be in favour of?

A．An able employee may not be in the right place.

B．Employees with higher pay tend to perform better.

C．Whoever performs well in a firm deserves to be promoted.

D．There is no fixed criterion for assessing an employee’s ability.

【2】What is the result of the study?

A．The “Peter Principle” makes sense both in companies and schools.

B．The best sales workers have got promoted due to their teamwork spirit.

C．The companies are in need of employees with good communicative skills.

D．Managers, once with good sales performance, may contribute little to others’progress.

【3】How does the “Peter Principle” benefit each of us personally?

A．It makes us qualified for a higher position.

B．It reminds us of the importance of learning from others.

C．It inspires us to fulfill ourselves in a suitable position.

D．It provides guidance on how to improve our competence.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．General Rules in a Company

B．Reasons for Getting Promoted

C．Knowledge of the “Peter Principle”

D．The Development of a Famous Theory
