9、eveloping a number of diseases. As a result，vitamin supplements(补品)，though expensive，are popular with people who worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many people think，medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anythin

10、g to improve health or protect against diseases.In fact，medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example，too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors，as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects whe

11、n mixed with medicines.Experts，however，do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent diseases. People who know they lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example，may not have enough vitamin B12.This is because，as people get older，their body loses its abi

12、lity to take it from foods. Also，people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this vitamin from sunlight.Different vitamins are found in different foods.

13、rkly coloured fruit and vegetables contain substances that the body can change into vitamin AVitamin B12 is found in green leafy vegetables and other foods，like fruit. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.In fact，for most people，a balanced diet can ensure enough vitamins our bodies need. So，it is

14、 important for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins.21What is probably talked about before this passage?AHow many vitamins a persons body needs.BHow many vitamins some foods contain.CThe benefits that vitamins bring to our health.DWhat people should do to stay

15、 healthy.22From the passage，we can learn that medical experts advise people _Anever to take any vitamin supplementsBto depend only on foods for their vitaminsCnot to take any vitamins together with medicinesDto consult their doctors before taking vitamin supplements23What would be the best title for

16、 the passage?AGetting enough vitamins through a balanced dietBVitamin supplements do harm to our healthCVitamins are important to our healthDLacking vitamins can cause many diseasesBIt is a question that has confused parents for decades: Why do children refuse to eat greens?Now, two American experts

17、 believe they have the answer.After studying dozens of babies as they played with various objects, the researchers noted that they were far more unwilling to grasp plants than other things. They believe this is because evolution (进化) has biologically made children be wary of plants.Due to susceptibi

18、lity (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has designed an inner defence mechanism (机制) that limits a childs contact with plants, they think. The researchers believe this is why babies in the study were afraid of grabbing plants and why children turn their noses up when fac

19、ed with a plate of broad beans.The findings are published in a paper by Dr Annie E. Wertz and Dr Karen Wynn, both psychologists at Yale University.They wrote，“Throughout human evolutionplants have been essential to human existence. Yet, for all of these benefits, plants have always caused very real

20、dangers.”“Plants produce toxins (毒素) as defences that can be harmful, or even deadly. Some plants also employ physical defences, such as thorns and poisonous oils that can damage tissues (组织) and cause effects over the whole body.”They added，“We predicted that babies may have behavioural strategies

21、that reduce their exposure to dangers posed by plants by minimizing their physical contact with plants.”To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted when presented with a variety of objects. It took much longer for children to grab plants; objects th

22、at were faked to look like plants also caused a slow response time.For parents attempting to spoon some peas into the mouth of their child, this finding should come as welcome relief.24What does the underlined word “wary” in the third paragraph mean?ACurious. BAfraid. CTired. DCertain.25What did ear

23、ly humans probably do to survive?AThey chose to make more artificial things. BThey forbade their children to touch plants.CThey chose to have little contact with plants.DThey tried very hard to escape from predators.26Which is the best title for the text?AGive children more fun things to doBThe surv

24、ival instinct (本能) is to blameCWhat kind of things are healthyDInfants of eight to eighteen months oldCAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes.To some degree,

25、 our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundingsThus the limits

26、 of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood

27、relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical(完全相同的) twins, they will

28、 very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send

29、one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact wit

30、h each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 27Which of these sentences best describes the writers point in Para.1? ATo some degree, intelligence is given at birth. BIntelligence is developed by the environment. CSome people are born clever and ot

31、hers born stupid. DIntelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.28It is suggested in this passage that_. Aunrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligence Bclose relations usually have similar intelligence Cthe closer the blood relationship between people, the more

32、 different they are likely to be in intelligenceDpeople who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence29In Para.1, the word “surroundings” means “_”. Aintelligence Blife Cenvironments Dhousing30The best title for this article would be “_”. AOn intell

33、igence BWhat intelligence means CWe are born with intelligence DEnvironment plays a part in developing intelligence第二节（共 5 个小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We all know the benefits of regular physical activity.

58、分 每题1.5分15 ABBAA610 CCACA1115 ACABC1620 CACACA文章大意 吃维生素补品其实并不像人们想象的那样能带来很多好处，有时维生素摄取过量会对人体有害，人们通过合理的饮食就能够获得足够的人体所需的维生素。21C推理判断题。根据文章的第一句“现在我们知道，如果我们没有摄取足够的维生素，我们就有生病的危险”可以推断，前面提到的内容应该是维生素给人体带来的好处。22D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“People should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors”可知答案。23A主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知

59、，吃维生素补品其实并不像人们想象的那样会带来很多好处，有时维生素摄取过量会对人体有害，人们通过合理的饮食就能够获得足够的人体所需的维生素。B文章大意 本文是说明文，解释了孩子们不愿意吃绿色蔬菜的原因。24B词义猜测题。由第四段的内容可知，孩子们不愿意碰触植物，是因为从生物学上看他们“害怕”植物。25C细节理解题。根据第七段的内容可知许多植物为了抵抗掠食者，会产生毒素。这些对于早期的人类来说是有害的甚至可能是致命的，因此为了生存，人们产生了内在的抵抗机制，即尽量少地接触植物。26B主旨大意题。从生物学上来看，人类的生存本能使得孩子们不愿意接触植物，故B项最符合题意。C文章大意 文章主要讲的是人的

60、智力。许多专家现在持有的观点是，智力的极限是由先天决定的，但能否达到极限则取决于后天的生活环境。27.

B细节理解题。根据第二段的“The closer the blood relationship betwe

61、en two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.”可知，两个人的血缘关系越近，他们的智力水平可能越接近，故选B。29. C词义猜测题。根据第一段提到的“On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.”可知，另一方面，在烦闷环境中成长的孩子的智力发展不如在丰富多彩的环境中成

62、长的孩子的智力好。故选C项。30. A主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences？”和第二段的“It is easy to show that intelligence is to”与第三段的“and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part.”可知，文章主要讲的是智力。专家持有的观点是，智力的极限是先天决定的，而能否达到极限取决于后天的环境。故选A项。21-23:C D A 24-26: B
