Question

BEIJING, March, 17th --The Japanese automaker Toyota will recall some 4,400 units of FJ Cruiser cars in China over seat belt flaws, China's consumer quality watchdog said Saturday.

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said on its website that Toyota China will recall these imported cars produced between December 2007 and March 2013.

Toyota is busy working on the solution to the flaw and will release improvement methods before April 15, according to the administration.

This marks Toyota's second recalling this year after the auto giant announced in January that it would recall 22,869 units of Lexus IS cars in China due to wiper arm problem.

China's private auto ownership reached 93.09 million units by the end of 2012, up 18.3 percent compared with the year before. Along with the fast expanding auto market, Chinese drivers grow more concerned about the quality of their cars.

To better protect the interests of Chinese consumers, the AQSIQ announced late last year that it would formulate a guideline to regulate a recall system for faulty cars.

【解析】

試題分析：文章介紹了質(zhì)量技術(shù)檢驗(yàn)檢疫部門對汽車的質(zhì)量進(jìn)行了檢查，Toyota要召回4400輛問題汽車，這是一年來第二次召回他們的問題汽車，日本豐田公司旗下的雷克薩斯也召回了一部分汽車，另外還有德國汽車制造商大眾也召回了問題汽車，國家的檢驗(yàn)檢疫部門也在制定更加完善的召回制度來保證中國消費(fèi)者的利益。

1.B詞義推測題。句子的意思是：日本汽車制造商豐田汽車公司由于安全帶問題將召回4400輛在中國銷售的汽車。中國的質(zhì)量監(jiān)督部門在周六說。由下文的幾個例子可知，分別是將問題汽車重新返回進(jìn)行維修。故應(yīng)為讓人們送回東西，答案應(yīng)為B。

2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由本句This marks Toyota's second recalling this year after the auto giant announced in January that it would recall 22,869 units of Lexus IS cars in China due to wiper arm problem.可知，答案為A。意思為：這標(biāo)志著Toyota第二次召回問題汽車，第一次是今年的一月份，由于雨刷臂的問題，它在中國召回了22869輛汽車，故答案應(yīng)為A。

3.C細(xì)節(jié)推理題。To better protect the interests of Chinese consumers, the AQSIQ announced late last year that it would formulate a guideline to regulate a recall system for faulty cars.本句的句意為：為了更好的保護(hù)中國消費(fèi)者的利益，國家質(zhì)量技術(shù)檢驗(yàn)檢疫部門將發(fā)布指導(dǎo)方針去規(guī)范問題汽車的召回制度。由本句可知答案應(yīng)為C。

4.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。China's private auto ownership reached 93.09 million units by the end of 2012, up 18.3 percent compared with the year before.2012年年底，中國私家汽車的擁有量達(dá)到了93.09million，比去年上比上升了18.3%，由此可計(jì)算，2011年約為79million.

5.C 細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。Along with the fast expanding auto market, Chinese drivers grow more concerned about the quality of their cars.本句句意為：隨著中國汽車市場的上升，中國的司機(jī)們越來越關(guān)心汽車的質(zhì)量問題，故排除A；BEIJING, March, 17th --The Japanese automaker Toyota will recall some 4,400 units of FJ Cruiser cars in China over seat belt flaws, China's consumer quality watchdog said Saturday.與Toyota is busy working on the solution to the flaw and will release improvement methods before April 15, according to the administration.句意為：三月十七號宣布，汽車將被召回。四月十五之前將公布解決方案可知，不到一個月的時(shí)間內(nèi)公布解決方案是正確的排除B；從發(fā)布信息和制定召回制度的決定等都是通過AQSIQ其網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的，故D正確；This marks Toyota's second recalling this year after the auto giant announced in January that it would recall 22,869 units of Lexus IS cars in China due to wiper arm problem.句意為：這標(biāo)志著第二次召回，由此可知C是錯誤的。
