问题     As he applied sunscreen to his young daughter’s face, Dara
O’Rourke, professor of environmental and labour policy at the
University of California, Berkeley, found him wondering if the lotion 【S1】______
was safe. He realized there was no ready available answer. The result— 【S2】______
two years, a team of chemists, lots of testing and a chunk of venture
capital later—is GoodGuide. com. Launched in 2008, this is a website
and smart phone app that rates 140,000 consumer products (currently
only in America) according to their safety, environmental sustainability
and the ethics of the firms that make them. Now GoodGuide has created
a new "purchase analyser" app designed to inform consumers not just
about the values embedding in products, but also about whether they are 【S3】______
the virtuous shoppers they say they want to be. Using the new app
requires selecting a series of characteristics, that can range from whether 【S4】______
the user favours organic products to buy only from firms with a good 【S5】______
human-right record. The consumers then scan the barcode on 【S6】______
product with the camera in their smart phone. The app identifies it and 【S7】______
checks in a database to score how it shapes in.    【S8】______
    Much however depends on the quality of the data, which 【S9】______
GoodGuide gathers from various sources, including government reports
and scientific studies, and research by its own staff. If the product
scores badly, the app will recommend an alternative item which is rated
more highly. The app also tracks a consumer’s purchases to see how
well they fit in with their selected values, giving a sort of personal virtue 【S10】______
(or hypocrisy) rating. [br] 【S3】
选项
答案 embedding—embedded
解析 非谓语动词误用。该句意为“GoodGuide指南网已经开发了一种新的‘购物分析家’软件，此软件不仅旨在告诉消费者产品的内在价值，也旨在告诉消费者他们是不是自己所说的良心消费者。”embed意为“把……嵌入；深留(记忆中)”，在句子中以过去分词形式充当后置定语，表示信息是被嵌入产品中的。因此应将embedding改为embedded。
