Ⅱ.阅读理解

I'm a skeptic when it comes to the benefits of taking vitamins and other supplements.We swallow far more vitamins than any other country—yet we're not the healthiest folks by far，nor do we live the longest.
There's more bad news for vitamins this week：Taking folic acid(维生素B)and vitamin B12 supplements doesn't prevent heart attacks or death, according to a major new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.It was hoped they would，since the vitamins do reduce levels of homocysteine，an amino acid(氨基酸)that is higher in the blood of people who have a higher risk of heart disease.In fact，homocysteine was reduced 30 percent after one year of treatment in the participants who took both vitamins.But in the following three years，many vitamin takers died as those who didn't take the vitamins. Even worse，the study was stopped early because another similar study suggested that there may be an increased risk of cancer from taking B vitamins.
I had been taking a health food store monster multivitamin(综合维生素剂)for months.Coincidentally, I had been experiencing some strange numbness in my legs that was starting to scare me.I remember sitting in a long meeting with my ankles crossed，when I tried to stand up I crumpled on the floor and hit my chin on the glass coffee table because my legs had gone completely numb and worthless.As I sat there and shook my legs，I got that “pins and needles” feeling and soon was OK.But it scared me enough to make an appointment with a neurologist，who suggested an MRI to rule out multiple sclerosis，stroke，or a brain tumor(肿块)．
While I'll never know for sure if the vitamins caused my problem，many studies have reminded us that pill forms of vitamins and minerals don't provide the same benefits as getting them from food.There's a lot we don't know about how the human body works. Until we know more，I'm getting most of my vitamins from the farmer's market.
1．What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．The writer is getting most of pill forms of vitamins from the market.
B．The writer continues to take vitamins in great quantities.
C．The writer is getting vitamins from food，which can provide more benefits.
D．The writer will never take pill forms of vitamins and minerals.
【解析】　推理判断题。由文章最后一段可以看出，作者认为pill forms of vitamins不如食物为我们提供的维生素好处多，因此，在对人体的工作基理还没有更多了解之前，作者将一直坚持从食物中摄取维生素(from the farmer's market)。
【答案】　C
2．Why do people take folic acid(维生素B)and vitamin B12supplements?
A．They want to benefit from them.
B．They want to experience something strange like the writer.
C．They want to tell the difference between vitamin pills and natural vitamins.
D．They want to know if they can stop heart attacks or live longer.
【解析】　细节理解题。由第二段的前两句话可以推出答案。
【答案】　A
3．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．It was the multivitamin he took that caused the writer to get the “pins and needles” feeling.
B．Taking more vitamins will not make a man healthier or live longer.
C．The folic acid and vitamin B12 can reduce levels of homocysteine in our body.
D．The less homocysteine in our blood，the less chance we'll have heart attacks.
【解析】　细节判断题。由最后一段的第一句话可以看出，作者并不确定是不是维生素的摄入导致了自己所受的痛苦。所以A项内容错误；由第一段的第二句话可以看出，B项内容正确；由第二段的前半部分可以看出C项内容和D项内容正确。
【答案】　A
4．Which would be the BEST title of the passage?
A．Vitamins：Benefit Us a Lot
B．Vitamins：No Help for Your Heart
C．Vitamins：Bad for the Brain，Too
D．Some Bad News about Vitamins
【解析】　主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，作者通过理论及自己的一些亲身体验，向我们讲述了有关服用非天然维生素的一些不良反应。
【答案】　D
5．What does the underlined word“skeptic”in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．A man who doubts something.
B．A man who believes in something.
C．A man who benefits from something.
D．A man who insists on something.
【解析】　词义猜测题。由下句以及全文的内容来看，作者对于服用维生素和其他补品的好处是怀疑的，所以答案为A。
【答案】　A
Ⅲ.任务型阅读
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。(注意：每空只填1个单词)
When we think about giving help to developing countries，we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine，or find clean water supplies.There seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help.However，it's far from enough.Ladies and gentlemen，we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.
I was very surprised，then，when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer，which can run without electricity.He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.
The laptop which Mr.Negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops.One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily.As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle so that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.
These special laptop computers will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr.Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production.The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet.These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately，but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK，and，probably in many other countries too，millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment，so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them.In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time.We will reduce the waste we produce and help others.In other words，we will be able to ‘Kill two birds with one stone’，and that is always a good thing.
