19、分，满分50分）第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。AToday, we know that the role of vitamins and minerals goes way beyond the prevention of deficiency diseases (维生素缺乏症) to actually preventing cancer and heart disease, the most fearsome killers of our time. With this knowledge has come the

20、 widespread call for nutritional supplementation (营养补充) and a confusing group of vitamin, mineral, and supplements lining the supermarket shelves. Far from contributing to better health, however, nutritional supplements threaten to turn a scientific breakthrough into a nutritional disaster. Promoter

21、s of vitamins and minerals especially vitamins A, C, and E would have consumers believe that the little vitamin pill in the bottle is all they need for good health. Take your vitamins in the morning, and youre covered. Its okay to eat fast foods for the rest of the day or skip meals to achieve today

22、s fashionably skinny look. But vitamins and minerals are only one part of the nutritional puzzle. A diet rich in fiber (纤维) and balanced in carbohydrates and protein is essential for good health. You cant get these things from a nutritional supplement. The focus on vitamin and mineral supplements ma

23、y actually be robbing us of the full nutrition we seek. And no supplement can compare to the quality of nutrition found in natural sources. For example, our bodies turn carotenes (胡萝卜素) from plant foods into vitamin A. Many supplements contain a single carotene, but natural sources are rich in many

24、different carotenes. Many supplements contain a form of vitamin E that is made from chemicals, when natural vitamin E is more readily absorbed and used by the body. And science is still discovering the wealth of nutrients in foods. Youd be hard-pressed to find a supplement as nutritionally comprehen

25、sive and powerful as a balanced diet. Even if you could, youd pay much more than if you got the same nutritional value from natural sources. But perhaps the greatest danger presented by nutritional supplements comes from the very real risks presented by self-medication. Anyone can walk into the mark

26、et and buy as many different supplements as desired. The reported benefits of high dosages of certain nutrients have led some people to believe that the more the better. Many take several vitamin and mineral supplements without regard to possible consequences. Surprising new research suggests that v

27、itamin C pills may speed up hardening of the arteries, the underlying cause of heart attacks. Researchers said their findings support the recommendations of health organizations, which urge people to avoid high doses of supplements and to get their nutrients from food instead. As appealing as theyre

28、 made to sound, nutritional supplements are danger in disguise. If youre looking for good health, dont look on the supplement shelves of your supermarket. Look in the produce section instead.41. What has given rise to the great need for nutritional supplements? A. The knowledge of deficiency disease

29、s.B. The low prices of nutritional supplements. C. The frighteningly high death rate from cancer and heart disease.D. The information about the role of vitamins and minerals in health.42. The “promoters” (Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.A. businessmen B. doctors C. scientists D. fast food lov

30、ers43. According to the passage, nutritional supplements _.A. are made from chemicals B. are ineffective in supplying fiber C. provide too much vitamin C D. contain a kind of dangerous carotene 44.One of the reasons why many people take large amounts of nutritional supplements is that _. A. their do

31、ctors advise them to do soB. nutritional supplements are easily availableC. scientists have found the more nutrients the betterD. nutritional supplements are recommended by health organizations45.By describing nutritional supplements as “danger in disguise” in the last paragraph, the writer means th

32、at they are _.A. of little help B. of poor quality C. potentially harmfulD. extremely poisonousBBelow is a page adapted from The Study Skills Handbook.The starting place for most research is the library. Join your school library as soon as possible and make the most of it.Library servicesFind out ab

33、out the range of services available. Typically, there will be: academic journals specialist collections photocopiers laminators binding facilities computersCDs, DVDs, films, tapes, slides, and video resources silent areas and study roomsspecialist resources for students with disabilitiesfacilities f

34、or making audiovisual aids for your presentations support on how to use library facilities.Finding books in the libraryFiction is arranged in alphabetical order (a-z) by authors surnames. Reference books are arranged by subject. Each subject is given a number, which is shown on the spine of the book

35、.All the books on a given subject are grouped together on the shelves. You can find a books reference number by looking it up in the library catalogue (目录). Most catalogues are now electronic. For more about electronic searches, see pages 148-52.It helps to find books if you already know: the author

36、s surname and initials the title of the book.Journals or periodicalsJournals or periodicals usually contain the latest research for your subject, as well as book reviews. Most journal articles have a short “abstract” at the beginning which tells you what the articles are about. Browsing through the

37、abstracts and reviews helps to keep you up to date with the subject. You will be expected to refer to articles in most assignments.Journals are published at regular intervals during the year. They are collected into numbered volumes, usually one for each year. To find a journal article you need to k

38、now:the title of the journal, the year it was published and its volume number the name and initials of the articles author the title of the article.Indexes and abstractsIndexes (索引) and abstracts are separate publications which give brief details of journal articles, including who wrote what and whe

39、re to find it. Sometimes reading abstracts will be enough for your assignment; at other times you will need to read the original article too.In the indexes, you can search by subject heading and by keywords for all the articles on a given subject. They are updated regularly and are well worth using.

40、Electronic informationAn increasing amount of information is being published electronically. This includes anything from mail-order catalogues to academic journals. A lot of electronic information is located at publicly available sites on the World Wide Web (www), which is accessed via the internet.

41、 Your school may have its own intranet, with websites used only within the institution you may be asked to write your own “page” on it.To locate information on the internet, you type in the address at which it is stored. This will consist of short abbreviations. Spaces, dots, dashes, oblique strokes

42、 and letters must be typed in very precisely. This, for example, is the address of the website of Friends of the Earth: http:/www.foe.co.ukHaving logged on to the internet, you would simply type this in on the computer screen in the space provided. (You can usually omit “http:/”.)On your reading lis

43、t you may be given the names of useful web pages. Type in the address of one and browse the information that comes up on the screen.

44、. what to read for a research project B. where to find books on a subject of research C. how to improve study with the aid of a libraryD. how to find information for research in a library47.If you want to find a reference book in the school library, youd better search by _.A. the index of the refere

A. their business values B. the way of organizing information C. their target users D. the variety of information availableCTheres sweetness in

47、 the lies parents tell their kids, which is a very good thing, since they tell a lot of them. The lies nearly all of them harmless may differ depending on the family. But from culture to culture, theres one tall tale nearly all parents tell, and they tell it repeatedly: “We do not have a favorite ch

48、ild.”Mom and Dad will say it seriously. Theyll repeat it endlessly, and in many cases, theyll be lying through their teeth. Its one of the worst kept secrets of family life that all parents have a preferred son or daughter, and the rules for acknowledging it are the same everywhere: The favored kids

49、 recognize their status and keep quiet about it the better to preserve the good thing theyve got going and to keep their siblings（兄弟或姐妹） off their back. The unfavored kids howl (嚎叫) about it like wounded cats. And on pain of death, the parents deny it all. The stonewalling is understandable. Most pa

50、rents want to spare unfavored kids the hurt that the truth could cause. Moreover, the court of public opinion can respond pitilessly even furiously to moms or dads who speak the forbidden truth. Last March, a mother of two wrote a post on the website B under the headline I THINK I LOVE MY S

51、ON JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. The mom went on at length describing the greater warmth she feels for her baby boy compared with her baby girl and even included a photo of herself and her unfavored daughter.She was, predictably, severely criticized. “Please work on your issues lady!” said one typical res

52、ponse. “I feel absolutely horrible for your daughter!” read another. But then there was this: “I completely understand. I too feel this way.”The hard truth is, most parents do. In one research, Catherine Conger, a professor at the University of California at Davis, studied a group of 384 sibling pai

53、rs and their parents and visited them three times over three years. She questioned them about their relationships and videotaped them as they worked through conflicts. Overall, she concluded that 65% of mothers and 70% of fathers exhibited a preference for one child, usually the older one. And the r

54、eal numbers can be much bigger, since parents try especially hard to hide their preferences when a researcher is watching.If the scientists dont see through the trick, however, kids usually do and act accordingly. From the moments theyre born, brothers and sisters constantly compete for the precious

55、 resource of parental attention, each fighting to establish an identity that will best catch Moms or Dads eye. Im the smartest one! Im the funny one!Its hard to predict the fallout from favoritism. Being the favorite may improve self-esteem and confidence. But studies show it can also leave kids wit

56、h a sense of arrogance (傲慢) and privilege. Unfavored children may grow up wondering if theyre somehow unworthy of the love the parents gave generously to the golden child. But they may do better at forming relationships outside the family as a result of that. And theres no telling how the differential treatment will play out among the kids.“My mom didnt like my older sister and did like me,” says Roseann Henry, an editor
