第二部分：阅读理解(共两节。第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上
将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Sometimes successful health campaigns can have quite unexpected reactions. The years of warnings about skin cancer mean that Britons are happy to cover themselves in sunscreen or stay out of the sun altogether, but it also means that most of us are not getting enough vitamin D.
Scientists announced yesterday that Britons need to increase to three times the amount of vitamin D they get per day. They called on food producers to fortify(强化)their products with more of the vitamin and suggested people should consider taking supplements(补充物)to keep levels up. They also suggested getting out in the sun for short periods more often, but they warned against “sun bingeing”.
The government does not publish official advice on the amount of vitamin D people should take due to a lack of research, says Dr Birgit Teucher of the Institute for Food Research. But in the US，the government recommends 5 micrograms a day. By that count, Dr Teucher said that around 90％ of Britons between 19 and 64 would be lacking in the vitamin because they only took around 3 micrograms a day.
Vitamin D is important for absorption of calcium(钙)by the body，which is needed for healthy teeth and bones. A lack of it can lead to serious diseases in both children and adults. The vitamin can be found in some foods but it can also be obtained from chemicals in the skin reacting to sunlight. Dr Barbara Boucher said adults should get 5 to 25 micrograms a day. Shortage of vitamin D may be linked to diseases such as muscle weakness，high blood pressure and rickets(佝偻病).
Dr Teucher gave several reasons for the lack among Britons. Increasing numbers of office-based jobs mean a lack of exposure to the sun；and the rise of becoming overweight means that vitamin D—which is fat soluble(可溶解的)一is increasingly stored in body fat，where it cannot be accessed readily.
Professor Brian Wharton of the Institute of Child Health said that children in particular needed to have enough vitamin D to prevent rickets.
Professor Graham Bentham, an environmental scientist at the University of East Anglia，added that babies who were only breast-fed probably need to take supplements in case their mother was vitamin D lacking. Those drinking milk were likely to be OK，thanks to the fortification of the drink.
The scientists called on food producers to fortify milk，bread and breakfast nutrient to enable people to get their daily amount of the vitamin. Prof Bentham added that 30 minutes of sun exposure to the face and forearms between April and October would be sufficient. Outside these months，the sun is not strong enough in Britain for the body to produce its own vitamin D.
But Prof Bentham warned against spending too long in the sun. ‘‘Sun bingeing is well known to be dangerous。”he said. “In any case，vitamin D transformation in the skin switches off after a while so short frequent amounts are better for vitamin D formation.”
41.From Paragraphs l&2 we can infer that___________.
A. some health campaigns are very successful B. people are lacking in various vitamins
C. Britons are advised not to get out in the sun D. vitamin D can be obtained by staying in the sun
42.The word “sufficient” (Paragraph 8) is the closest in meaning to ___________.
A. enough B. proper C. familiar D. available
43.From the passage，we can conclude_____________.
A. the babies who were only breast—fed certainly need to take vitamin D supplements
B. a large quantity of vitamin D stored in body fat is the primary reason for being overweight
C. the sunlight can produce adequate vitamin D that the body needs all year round
D. vitamin D is vital for the body to absorb calcium needed for healthy teeth and bones
44.The government doesn’t give official advice on the amount of vitamin D because_____________.
A. they think it is harmful for health B. they don’t want to be blamed
C. they aren’t confident of its function D. they haven’t concrete proof
45.Which best describes the writer's tone in the passage?
A. Humorous. B. Objective. C. Pessimistic. D. One-sided.

B
Below are news briefs from a newspaper.
◆ The secrets of longevity
In a study of 75-year-olds, researchers
found that those who lived into their 90s shared
some important traits (诀窍). They didn't smoke.
They remained physically active and pursued a
variety of leisure activities. And they kept a strong
social network. The research reaffirms what doctors
have been advising for years: stay active and stay
connected for good physical and mental health. On
average, men in this study who followed a healthy
lifestyle lived six years longer, and women five
years longer, compared with those who did not
follow such a lifestyle.

◆ Glove keyboard enables use of devices with
one hand
Computer engineering students at The University
of Alabama in Huntsville have designed a tool that
could revolutionize new ways of using electronic
devices with just one hand. It's called a Gauntlet
Keyboard, a glove device that functions as a wireless
keyboard. Instead of tapping keys on a keyboard,
the user simply touches his thumb to points on his
fingers assigned a letter or other keyboard function.
◆ Chinese white collars ambitious for wealth
According to MSN China and Research, more
than 50% of Chinese white collars believe a
personal fortune of at least 5 million yuan is necessary. The survey was conducted online, covering 100,000 odd respondents. The average
monthly income of a senior white collar in big
Chinese cities is around 10,000 yuan. That is to
say, it will take a white collar approximately 42
years to accumulate 5 million yuan of personal
wealth. Thus it is an unpractical goal, despite the
fact that 75% of white collars have faith in
making investment. Being too covetous for
wealth is bad for one's health, particularly
mental health.
◆ Artist seeks a garden in the sky
Artist Stephen Glassman wants you to look
up. The Los Angeles-based artist is looking to
create an urban air garden above the streets of
L.A. Right now the air garden is at the concept
stage. If enough money is raised ( Glassman is
seeking $100,000), the City of Angels will
be home to a floating garden of bamboo, which
will appear to be floating but actually be sup-
ported by pillars. Even in a city like L. A.
where anything goes, the garden would be sure
to turn heads.
◆$600 car issued more than$100,000 in
parking tickets
An abandoned car in Chicago worth an
estimated $600 has been issued more than
$1 00.000 in parking tickets over the past three
years. Jennifer Fitzgerald，3 1，is currently stuck
with the bill but says the 1999 Chevy Monte
Carlo actually belongs to an ex-boyfriend who
registered the ear in her name without her
knowledge. From May 23,2009，through April
30,2012，the Chicago Department of Finance
issued 678 tickets against the car，totaling $105,76 1.80. But Fitzgerald says she doesn’t
owe the city a dime and has filed a lawsuit
against the city of Chicago and the ex-boyfriend.

◆Supermarket owner gives away stores to
his 400 employees
This is the season of giving，and a grocery
-store owner is doing just that. Joe Lueken, who
owns and manages two grocery stores in Bemidji，Minnesota，and one in Wahpeton，
North Dakota，is retiring at age 70. Instead of
selling his stores to the highest bidder，though，
he will transfer ownership to the stores’400 or so
employees. The employees will participate in
an employee stock ownership program，receiving
shares of Lueken’s Village Foods based on length
of service and salary——and at no cost to them. Joe explained his reason for turning over ownership to his employees：“My employees are
largely responsible for any Success I've had，and
they deserve to get some of the benefits of that.”
