摘要
舌尖上的安全：食品安全出路何在
Food
safety
dilemma
Step1
译知半解――边看边听
近日热播的纪录片《舌尖上的中国》令中国人胃口大开。中华美食中新鲜的食材，精美的菜式，复杂精细的烹制过程以及饮食传统的多样性都令他们为之着迷。然而，一系列食品安全事件却令中华美食名声受损。专家表示，长期以来食品安全监管机制存在的缺陷正在摧毁公众对食品的信心。农业部的统计数据显示，中国每天消耗200多万吨的食品，这些食品来自于40多万家食品生产商，以及323万家相关企业。为了解决复杂的食品安全问题，2010年我国设立了国务院食品安全委会，由国务院副总理出任主席。然而，现实情况是，在目前的食品安全监管体系下，涉及到六大部委的十几个部门均参与其中，直接负责监管从田间到餐桌的每一个环节。参与监管的机构越多，就越难有效地解决问题。在食品安全这个问题上，目前还没有明确的责任划分,
这使得有效监管很成问题。官员推卸责任的现象时有发生。同时问题也没有解决。
来自中国农业大学的朱毅副教授指出，设立单独的政府监管机构可以解决问题。他表示：“在英国和加拿大等国家，在食品安全监管方面实行独立管理已成为一种趋势，这样相关问题便可以得到快速解决。”
来自天津师范大学政治学与公共管理学院的李珊也主张有必要设立单独机构对整个食品生产链进行全面管理。李珊说：“或许，将各个政府部门合并成一个新的‘食品安全部’可以加大食品监管的力度。”

A
recent
documentary
A
Bite
of
China
whetted
the
Chinese
appetite.They
are
fascinated
by
fresh
ingredients,
delicate
presentation,
intricate
cooking
and
diverse
traditions
of
Chinese
food.However,
a
series
of
food
safety
incidents
has
damaged
the
country’s
reputation
for
fine
cuisine.
Experts
say
that
an
insufficiency
of
institutional
food
safety
supervision
is
harming
the
public’s
faith
in
food.
Figures
from
the
Ministry
of
Agriculture
show
China
consumes
over
2
million
tons
of
food
every
day
from
over
400,000
food
manufacturers,
and
3.23
million
related
businesses.
To
tackle
complicated
problems
concerning
food
safety,
the
State
Council
Food
Safety
Commission
chaired
by
Vice-Premier
LiKeqiang
was
set
up
in
2010.
However,
under
the
current
framework
of
food
safety
supervision,
more
than
a
dozen
departments
are
involved
with
six
bureaus
and
ministries
directly
responsible
for
stages
from
farm
to
table.
The
more
agencies
involved,
the
less
likely
the
problem
will
be
solved
efficiently.
There
is
no
clear
cut
division
of
responsibility
for
food
safety,
which
makes
effective
supervision
a
problem.
It
is
very
common
for
officials
to
pass
the
buck.
Meanwhile,
the
problems
don’t
go
away.
Zhu
Yi,
associate
professor
at
CAU,
suggests
a
single
government
agency
should
tackle
the
problem:
“It
is
a
trend
in
food
safety
supervision
to
have
a
sole
administration,
such
as
in
the
UK
and
Canada,
so
that
problems
can
be
fixed
swiftly.”
Li
Shan,
of
the
Politics
and
Public
Administration
College
of
Tianjin
Normal
University,
also
advocates
the
need
to
have
a
single
department
covering
the
whole
food
production
chain.
“Maybe
a
new
‘ministry
of
food
safety’
that
brings
various
agencies
into
one
administration
can
help
boost
the
capacity
for
supervision”,
said
Li.

析
B
1
该题目是对文章第二段内容理解的考查，属于细节题。看到题目首先应从原文中找相关匹配信息。原文中与此对应的信息是
“To
tackle

problems
concerning
food
safety,
the
State
Council
Food
Safety
Commission
chaired
by
Vice-Premier
Li
Keqiang
was
set
up
in
2010.”
（为了解决复杂的食品安全问题，2010年我国设立了国务院食品安全委员会，由国务院副总理出任主席）。
2
在匹配信息的临近点，寻找突破口。原文“However,
under
the
current
framework
of
food
safety
supervision,
more
than
a
dozen
departments
are
involved
with
six
bureaus
and
ministries
directly
responsible
for
stages
from
farm
to
table.”（然而，现实情况是，在目前的食品安全监管体系下，涉及到六大部委的十几个部门均参与其中，直接负责监管从田间到餐桌的每一个环节）中“However”一词作为转折词，点破了该机构并不能有效处理问题。在听材料时一定要留意诸如however,
but等这类词。
3
后文中，“It
is
very
common
for
officials
to
pass
the
buck.
Meanwhile,
the
problems
don’t
go
away.”（官员推卸责任的现象时有发生。同时问题也没有解决）进一步阐明了问题没有得到解决。
