B
Many people catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder. If scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a way to deal with the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and brings congestion（拥塞）in it. That is to say, you cannot breathe well. As a result, you feel terrible. However, your body is actually “eating” the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is also killing the virus. Besides, you have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into you. You may feel terrible, but in fact your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
Different people have different ways to deal with common colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths; some drink warm water, milk, or things like that; other people take medicine to stop the fever, congestion, and runny nose.
Some scientists suggest you should not take medicine when having a common cold, saying that it is bad for you to do that. If you take medicine, your body will stop reacting to the virus and thus won’t have a way to fight it and kill it, which makes the virus stay in you longer. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own.
56. According to the passage, what makes us wonder?
A. Why we never know which cold we will get.
B. Why scientists are able to send a man to the moon.
C. Why scientists cannot find a cure for the common cold.
D. Why there are hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there.
57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage when we are suffering from colds?
A. Fever. B. Headache. C. Runny nose. D. Congestion.
58. When you have congestion in your nose, ________.
A. you will not be able to breathe well
B. your temperature is going to rise
C. your blood is running too fast
D. you will have a runny nose
59. According to the passage, people may deal with common colds in different ways EXCEPT ________.
A. taking medicine B. taking hot baths C. eating chicken soup D. drinking alcohol
60. Some scientists advise you not to take medicine when you have a common cold because _______.
A. your body will fight and kill the virus on its own
B. your body will probably react too much to the virus
C. it will take longer time for your body to get over the virus
D. it will not be able to stop the fever, congestion or runny nose

B
New evidence shows that getting enough Vitamin D may be the most important thing you can do for your health．
You know the usual prescription for good health: a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, no smoking．Now add this: Spend a little more time in the sun．
Huh? That may sound like medical heresy （反面观点）．After all, we"ve been warned for decades about the dangers of the sun: wrinkles, age spots and the increasing threat of skin cancer．But new and impressive medical evidence suggests that sunlight is beneficial．The vitamin D it prompts our bodies to make may prevent cancer, protect against heart disease and ward off a long list of disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and gum disease．It is even showing promise as a treatment for heart disease and some cancers．
Long recognized as vitally important for bone building （it"s needed for calcium absorption）, vitamin D has now achieved superstar status among nutrients．While all doctors may not agree, many experts are confident enough of its wide-ranging powers to urge that we get much more of it, from the sun and from supplements, as even the best diet in the world may not give us enough．
60．Which of the following is NOT the usual way of keeping healthy?
A．To do exercise now and then．
B．To eat plenty of fruits and vegetables．
C．To avoid staying in the sun for a long time．
D．To keep away from cigarettes．
61．What does the underlined word “prompts” in the third paragraph mean?
A．causes B．forces C．motivates D．encourages

III．阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分；满分30分）
A
The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep color in meats and other food additives（添加剂）caused cancer.
Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin (青霉素) to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar tings are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.

A. cancer was discovered in 1945

A. are bright and colorless                   B. have indirect effects on our health

53. People use additives_________.
A. to change color of the food               B. to make food more unfit to eat
C. to take off the diseases of the food        D. to improve the color and taste of the food
54. Which of the following is Not true?
A. We needn’t take care of what we eat.
B. Some wrappings of food are harmful.
C. “The practice continues” means “things are still going on like that”.
D. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.
