第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）Vitamin D is essential for bone-building,cognitive function,joint health,immune function,blood sugar control, positive mood and more.It can help prevent many diseases.Some studies suggest that the lower your vitamin D level is,the higher your risk of death from any cause will be.However,it's not a great idea to just grab a supplement（补充物）off the drugstore shelf and start taking it.
Since many of us are deficient in vitamin D,also known as the "sunshine vitamin”,doctors will often give us a prescription（处方）for high levels of vitamin D supplements,with doses ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 IU (International Units) per day,up to 50,000 IU per week,and sometimes even more.But like all good things,it's possible to get too much of it."Very big doses of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium in the blood,which leads to nausea,vomiting,poor appetite,weakness,and weight loss,"says Madeline Basler of Real You Nutrition.Here's the bigger issue: any extra intake of,vitamin D can get stored in the body."A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems,"says Marra Francis,Medical Director at Everly Well,"leading to problems such as kidney stones."
The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age.The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin D at 600 IU daily for infant,children,and adults up to 70 years old. Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU,since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age.People who are obese may also need more vitamin D because the fat cells take it up,making it less available for use by the body.In winter when you're getting less sun exposure,some experts say it's safe to take daily doses of around 1,000 to 2,000 IU without any risk of complications（并发症）.
Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods—including fatty fish beef liver,cheese,egg yolks and mushrooms,plus fortified foods like milk,orange juice,and cereal—the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they’ll put you over the daily does.
1、What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A．We can actually reduce the risk of death.
B．People don't really know vitamin D well.
C．Vitamin D supplements are necessary for everyone.
D．Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance.
2、The underlined part "are deficient in" in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A．having an inadequate amount of B．paying much attention to
C．being interested in D．being concerned about
3、How much vitamin D should a healthy 60-year-old lady take daily in summer?
A．About 800 IU. B．About 600 IU.
C．No less than 1,000 IU. D．No less than 5,000 IU.
4、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．What other ways people can take to get vitamin D．
B．What foods we should eat every day to balance our diets.
C．Whether daily foods would overdose people with vitamin
D．D．Whether vitamin D can be supplemented by the foods we eat.
22．（8分）Billie Holiday was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Nicknamed Lady Day by her loyal friend and musical partner, Lester Young, Holiday had a great influence on jazz and pop singing. Her voiced style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of controlling tempo (节奏). Above all, she was admired for her deeply personal and direct approach to singing.
She co-wrote a few songs, and several of them have become jazz standards, notably God Bless the Child, Don’t Explain, and Lady Sings the Blues. She also became famous for singing jazz standards written by others, including Easy Living and Strange Fruit.
Her early career is hard to track down with accuracy. But she later gained work singing in local jazz clubs before being spotted by a talent scout (星探), John Hammond in 1933.
Her voice and recordings were loved for the depth of emotion and intensity she could bring to classic standards. Her range of voice was not the greatest, but her extraordinary low rough voice was soon to become very famous and influential.
She was an important icon (偶像) of the jazz era and influential in the development of jazz singing. In the late 1930s, she began singing a civil rights song called Strange Fruit, a song which told the tale of a lynching (用私刑处死) of a black man in the Deep South. It was very controversial for that period and it was not played on radios. It was recorded for Commodore Records and she performed it many times over the next 20 years.
Billie Holiday had a difficult upbringing which influenced her attitude toward life. She experienced many violent relationships. She also became increasingly dependent on various drugs which contributed to her early death in 1959, aged just 44.

C．Jazz instrumentalists. D．Her direct approach to singing.

23．（8分）John D．Rockefeller once said: “The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity (商品) as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.”
Wouldn’t you suppose that every college in the land would run courses: to develop the highest-priced ability under the sun? But that’s not the case.
The University of Chicago and the United Y. M. C．A．Schools conducted a survey to determine what adults want to study.
That survey cost $ 25, 000 and took two years. The last part of the survey was made in Meriden, Connecticut. It had been chosen as a typical American town. Every adult in Meriden was Interviewed and requested to answer 156 questions—questions such as “What is your business or profession? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? What is your income? Your hobbies? Your ambitions? Your problems? What subjects are you most interested in?” and so on. That Survey revealed that health is the prime interest of adults and, that .their second interest is people—how to understand, and, get along with people; how to make people like, you; and how to win others over to your way of thinking.
So the committee conducting this survey decided to run such a course for adults in Meriden. They searched for a practical textbook on the subject but found nothing. Finally they approached one of the world's outstanding authorities on adult education and asked him if he knew of any book that met the needs of this group. “No,” he replied, “I know what those adults want. But the book they need has never been written.”
I knew from experience that this statement was true, for I myself had been searching for years to discover a practical, working handbook on human relations.
Since no such book existed, I have tried to write one for use in my own courses. And here it is. I hope you like it.
1、The University of Chicago and the United Y. M. C．A．Schools conducted the survey______.
A．to find out what adults want to learn
B．to find out what adults' ambitions are

2、How was the study carried out?
A．By inviting the adults to an American town.
B．By asking the adults to answer some questions.
C．By inviting the adults to participate in an experiment.
D．By collecting the adults* opinions on college education.
3、What problem did the committee meet with?
A．They lacked financial support. B．They lacked experienced teachers.
C．They couldn’t attract enough students. D．They couldn’t find a suitable textbook.
4、What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

C．To explain why he has written a book. D．To prove human relations are important.
24．（8分）For years going home for the holidays has been bittersweet. I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff (物品). Clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. It’s evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.
I didn’t fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed, “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror, she replied to it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.”
Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they’ve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.
With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going-through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.
The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing— both of the house and heart.
1、What made the author feel bitter?
A．She couldn’t understand her mom’s sorrows.
B．Her mom was stuck in the painful memories.
C．Her mom was always left alone at home.
D．Her mom wasted money on useless things,
2、The underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refers to ________.
A．getting rid of the stuff. B．buying the stuff
C．opening the stuff D．moving the stuff
3、We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．the author never bought her mom anything
B．the author’s mom has no money to purchase now
C．the author s mom regrets buying so many things
D．the author knows her mom’s suffering only this week
4、What’s the best title of the passage?
A．How to do shopping wisely B．The importance of self-forgiveness.
C．Keep an eye on the elderly’s behavior D．Clearance helps remove suffering
25．（10分）Amphora are clay jars originally invented in Egypt. They were so useful for storing and transporting wine at the time that they were eventually adopted by all of the cultures around the Mediterranean. It’s uncertain when they first arrived in Rome, but Greek colonists in southern Italy may have been the first to introduce them.
Previously, wine had been stored in leather sacks, but amphora offered several advantages to the Romans. They were airtight, strong, relatively lightweight, and had two large handles that made them easy to carry, an important feature at a time when almost everything had to be transported by hand.. Like modern wine bottles, aphora had long, narrow necks that limited the amount of wine exposed to the open air. Similar to modern wine bottles, most amphoras became grad
