第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
People should go ou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tside and absorb some sunshine to help increase their vitamin D levels, some experts say. Arthritis Research UK, which is a British medical research organization dedicated to curing arthritis (关节炎), says vitamin D deficiency can cause bone loss, muscle function problems and, in some cases, rickets (软骨病) in children. 21cnjy.com
The government ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )recommends vitamin D supplements (补充剂) for pregnant women and children aged under five. But on sunny days, a few minutes outdoors should achieve the same results, Arthritis Research UK says.2-1-c-n-j-y
Figures show that u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )p to a quarter of the population has low levels of vitamin
D in their blood and the majority of pregnant women do not take vitamin D supplements. People aged over 65, pregnant and breast-feeding women and children aged six months to five years old are thought to be most at risk.
Vitamin D is essentia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l to help the body absorb calcium (钙) from food. Low levels of vitamin D can result in serious problems.
Alan Silman, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he medical director of Arthritis Research UK, said, “When the days are sunny, go out for a few minutes and expose your face and arms to the sunshine.” But he also had a warning on overexposure. “Don’t allow your skin to go red, and take care not to burn, particularly in strong sunshine and if you have fair or sensitive skin. From June to August, just 15 minutes is generally enough time.”
“In less sunny mon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ths,” Alan Silman added, “we recommend that people add more vitamin D in their diet by eating more oily fish such as salmon, tuna, and foods rich in vitamin D, such as cereals (谷物).”
31. Lack of vitamin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) D may cause the following problems EXCEPT .
A. bone loss B. muscle function problems
C. rickets in children D. high blood pressure
32. The purpose of the third paragraph is mainly to show .
A. the situation is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) really worrying B. people don’t care about health
C. all kinds of people lack vitamin D
D. adults needn’t take vitamin D supplements
33. In which column of a newspaper could we possibly find this text 21·cn·jy·com
A. Fashion. B. Health. C. Diet. D. Sports.
B
Walking home from work ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with a family friend, I found myself in a discussion about her daughter’s going to college. www.21-cn-jy.com
It started with th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e mother telling me that she had no money to help her daughter go through college, which led the mother to push (强烈推荐) community college fiercely. She then started to say how she had been pushing “high-paying” fields on her daughter—doctor, engineer, lawyer, etc. When I asked her if that was what her daughter had interest in, she said no. I asked her what the point was to push her daughter into something that she didn’t like, and she responded with, “I just want her to make a good fortune.”　
After hearing her w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ords, I would like to state that money is not everything. A high-paying job means nothing if you are miserable. I used to do a high-paid job, but it was very tiring and I had no time of my own. I didn’t like it at all. Though the pay was good, I was not happy.21*cnjy*com
So I’d like to tell ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )parents, please do not force your children into a major or a career just because you think they are going to make a lot of money. They would feel terrible for taking that major or job just to comfort you. The worst part is the feeling of guilty when they decide to change that major to something they actually want or when they quit that job.
Being a member of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a generation who are willing to give absolutely everything to our kids, we know we just hope our children could live happy lives. Please do not force a career path on our children just because we think it is good for them. Give our children advice, but don’t force them.
34. What do we know about that mother
A. She thought highly of community college.
B. She got along very well with her daughter.
C. She couldn’t afford her daughter’s college fees.
D. She wanted to be a doctor when she was young.
35. The mother cho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se the fields for her daughter mainly because .
A. her daughter really liked those fields
B. she thought those fields were interesting
C. those fields wouldn’t cost much at college
D. she considered them to be high-paying fields
36. Why did the writer mention her story in Paragraph 3
A. To prove that high-paying jobs mean nothing.
B. To show that not all high-paying jobs are satisfying.
C. To prove that high-paying jobs make people miserable.
D. To show that low-paying jobs are better than high-paying jobs.
37. From the text, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )we can infer that the writer would most probably advise parents to .
A. choose the best major or career for their children
B. avoid giving their children advice on their major or career
C. let thei ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r children make the final decision on their major or career
D. give ev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erything to their kids to make sure they’ll have a good future
C
As a result of Britis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h colonial (殖民的) rule, English language is the second most widely spoken language in India after the Hindi (印地语). Though it appears to be a second language, there is no question about its immense growth over the years in Indian history. It is the main language accepted and spoken in the fields of business and education across all places in India. India is ranked the third largest English-speaking population in the world besides the US and the UK.
English writing has bl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ossomed (兴旺) in India and has reached a peak where Indian writers like Arundhati Roy, Vikram Seth and Salman Rushdie were able to distinguish themselves in the whole world. Many Indian authors bring out books on Indian culture and literature. Shobha De, a famous fashion and lifestyle columnist (专栏作家), is one of the important writers to be mentioned who have paved the way for others to follow suit.
Quite a few newspapers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) like The Hindu, Times of India and Indian Express have increased the popularity and acceptance of English in India greatly. They have played an important role in spreading English in all corners of the country.
One of the maj ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or contributors in promoting English language development in India is the education system. Private schools and colleges play a major role in preparing students with spoken and written skills in English. The standard is so high that we can see young students actively taking part in group discussions and quiz competitions to show their talents all over the world.
Indian movies do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n’t lag behind (落后). There are so many English movies that come out of India every year. The world’s movie capital is not Hollywood but Bollywood, which is the nickname (昵称) for the Indian film industry located in Mumbai. Movies like Bend It Like Beckham and Monsoon Wedding have great international influence.
38. In what areas is English language mostly used in India
A. Science and technology. B. Movie and entertainment.
C. Business and education. D. Culture and art.
39. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that Shobha De .
A. is the most famous Indian writer in the world
B. often publishes works in English newspapers
C. encourages more and more writers to speak English
D. is a famous fashion designer
40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text 【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A. Most of Indians speak English rather than Hindi.
B. India has the largest English-speaking population in the world.
C. Indian movie in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dustry lags far behind compared with other fields.
D. The education system helps to develop English language.
41. The author show ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the development of English language in India from many fields EXCEPT .
A. the media B. the education system
C. the movie industry D. the government

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。
Riding a bic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ycle at night is much more dangerous than during the day. At night, motorists can only see what’s illuminated (照亮) by their headlights. Bob Mionske, author of Bicycling & the Law, says cycling accidents happened at night account for more than 70% of all cycling accidents in the past ten years. 46 If you still plan to ride a bicycle at night, proper preparation can help keep you safe.
In many states, b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )icycles ridden at night are required to have a red light on the back and a white headlight. 47 The bicycles’ headlight should be strong enough to illuminate the road for several feet. For example, when you’re cycling at 15 mph, the headlight should allow you to see at least 35 to 50 feet in front of you.
48 Cycling clothing with built-in reflective (反光的) material can be found on gloves, shirts and shorts. Many vest and jacket designs have large areas of reflective material along the arms, chest, back and shoulders. 49 If you’re short of money, you can buy reflective tape, cut it into strips and attach it to your clothes.
Remain in well-li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t and familiar streets. Don’t take unfamiliar routes if it’s not necessary. 50 By doing so, you can avoid becoming lost in unfamiliar dark streets.
A. Choose streets that are well-lit.
B. Riding a bicycle is a good sport for teenagers.
C. Reflectors (反射镜) are usually fixed on a bicycle’s wheels.
D. While ligh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts can keep cyclists safe to some level, night cyclists still need to dress in bright colors.
E. So riding a bicycle at night is really dangerous.
F. These lights let motorists know which direction you’re heading.
G. Besides, they’ll keep you warm too.

Our winter camp began ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on January 18th and lasted for seven days. Sixty middle school students from different parts of the country and five teachers, including two foreign teachers, participated in this activity. During this period, we visited the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Beijing University, Tsinghua University and some other places of interest, which all impressed me deeply. In addition, we played games together and learned to ski. All these experiences cultivated our team spirit as well as developed our ability to communicate with others. More importantly, they built up our self-confidence, which will contribute to our future success. What about your winter vacation
