12.Many people have low iron in their blood.But pregnant women need extra iron for their own health and their baby's health.Iron is important to the development of a baby's brain and central nervous system.
In poor countries,however,providing all pregnant women with iron supplements (补品 ) can be a financial issue.Some experts say giving supplements to babies after they are born is enough.
Someone who disagrees is Parul Christian,a nutritionist at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in Maryland.She and other scientists have been doing research in Nepal.She says their latest findings should settle any question about the value of making sure every pregnant woman receivesiron supplements.
Iron is a micronutrient (微营养素).Micronutrients are important substances that are found in small amounts in foods.
The researchers first completed a study among poor women in Nepal ten years ago.During pregnancy some of the women received supplements containing iron and another micronutrient,folic acid.
Professor Christian says that study showed the supplements could improve child survival.
Now the children are older.The researchers returned to Nepal and tested their neurological (神经的)development.They found improved intellectual(智力的) and fine motor abilities among those whose mothers had received iron and folic acid during pregnancy and for three months after.
The findings appear in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Another new study,published in the journal Pediatrics,looks at levels of vitamin D in babies.It says newborns with the lowest levels were twice as likely to develop respiratory infections(呼吸道感染) as those with normal levels of vitamin D.
Vitamin D helps build strong bones and strengthens the body's defenses against disease.The vitamin is commonly added to cow's milk and also found in supplements.But vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin.The body naturally produces it from sunlight.
Carlos Camargo from Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts and other researchers did the study.It followed more than nine hundred children in New Zealand until they were five years old.

71.The passage is intended to tell us thatB.
A.iron is as important as Vitamin D to people's health
B.iron and Vitamin D may lead to smarter,healthier children
C.pregnant women need much more iron and Vitamin D
D.in poor countries babies are lacking iron and Vitamin D
72.When expecting a baby,a woman doesn't necessarily receive some extraC.
A.iron            B.folic acid      C.vitamin D      D.supplements
73.It can be learnt from the passage thatD.
A.providing all pregnant women with extra iron may be difficult for all countries
B.plenty of micronutrients can be found in foods that you eat in your daily life
C.all the vitamins that you need to keep healthy can be received from the sunlight
D.it's more possible for babies lacking vitamin D to suffer from respiratory infections
74.The underlined words in Paragraph 5refer toA.
A.a micronutrient    B.a food         C.a metal        D.a medicine
75.The passage might be followed by a paragraph aboutC.
A.how the researchers did the study    B.how important the study was
C.what the researchers found           D.what problems the researchers faced.

3.Somewhere on the other side of the world,a small group of workers is busy with a life-or-death struggle.This battle isn't about self-protection,as admirable as that might be. By slaying to face the radiation and Fire at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station following the earthquake and then tsunami(海啸)in Japan,the 50 or so workers may have already shortened their life.They knew that would happen.
And yet they stay,working in near-total darkness,pumping seawater onto exposed nuclear fuel in hopes that they can prevent thousands of tons of radioactive material going into the air,and protect the health of millions of people.
Their task sounds like something out of a sci-fi thriller.They worked on the equipment in the complete darkness only by their flashlights,listening for explosions.They carry heavy oxygen tanks on their backs.They wear white,full-body jump suits to protect their bodies.Like Oscar said in"Armageddon":"Scariest environment imaginable.That's all you have to say."
According to news reports,some of the 50 workers volunteered to remain behind to take charge of the fire pumps with which they're spraying seawater on the exposed fuel. It's part of the job,part of the training,"an American nuclear power plant operator said."Nobody makes a secret of the possible dangers at a place like this.If there's a problem,you don't call somebody in to fix it.It's our problem.We're the only ones who can fix it.That's just what we do."
I don't know about you,but I've never really thought of nuclear power plant workers as"guardians at the gate"-those whose jobs may at any time place them in a position to protect us,perhaps at the risk of their own lives.
These are obviously guardians at the gate.In every case they're trained to respond to unknown possibilities.For them,it isn't a matter of courage-it's standard operating procedure.
61.What do we know from the text?C
A.The rescue work was admirable.
B.The accident was successfully handled.
C.The workers faced a life danger.
D.The earthquake was the main reason.
62.The third paragraph is mainly aboutB   
A.the way they worked                                     
B.the dangerous environment
C.Oscar's famous words                                    
D.the description of a film
63.According to the author,the 50 workersD   
A.were ordered by the government                          
B.were requested by the world
C.left behind against their own will                      
D.were performing their duties
64.The underlined word"you"in Paragraph 5 refers toA   
A.the 50 workers                      
B.the readers     
C.the news reporters                                      
D.the author
65.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.Japan's nuclear accident                                
B.Guardians at the gate
C.Saving nuclear power station                            
D.Using nuclear power safely.

20.For a while,my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者).They were there all the time:early morning,noon,and evening.There were little old ladies in gray sweats,young couples in Adidas shoes,middle?aged men with red faces."Come on!"My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening."You'll feel great."
Well,I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day,anyone could.So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life,and not a day more.Based on my experience,jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around,and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army.I'm not alone in my opinion.
First of all,jogging is very hard on the body.Your legs and feet had a real pounding(追击) running down a road for two or three miles.I developed foot,leg,and back problems.Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging,and I had something else to worry about.Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people,but if you have any physical weaknesses,jogging will surely bring  them out,as they did with me.
Secondly,I got no enjoyment out of jogging.Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun.Jogging is also a lonely pastime.Some joggers say,"I love being out there with just my thoughts."Well,my thoughts began to bore me,and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain?And that wasn't just the first week:it was practically every day for two months.I never got past the pain level,and pain isn't fun.What a cruel way to do it!So many other exercises,including walking,lead to almost the same results painlessly,so why jog?
I don't jog any more,and I don't think I ever will.I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace,and that feels good.I bicycle to work when the weather is good.I'm getting exercise,and I'm enjoying it at the same time.I could never say the same for jogging,and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

56.From the first paragraph,we learn that in the writer's neighborhoodA.
A.jogging became very popular 
B.people jogged only during the daytime
C.Alex organized an army of joggers 
D.jogging provided a chance to get together
57.The underlined word"them"(Paragraph 3)most probably refers toD.
A.heart attacks 
B.back problems 
C.famous joggers 
D.physical weaknesses
58.What was the writer's attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A
A.He felt it was worth a try.
B.He was very fond of it.
C.He was strongly against it.
D.He thought it must be painful.
59.Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?B
A.He disliked doing exercise outside.
B.He found it neither healthy nor interesting.
C.He was afraid of having a heart attack.
D.He was worried about being left alone.
60.From the writer's experience,we can conclude thatA.
A.not everyone enjoys jogging
B.he is the only person who hates jogging
C.nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit
D.jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.

7.Do we need an"Ivy (常春藤) League"?
China may soon have its own"Ivy League",with a union of top universities.
The term originally referred to an athletic conference of eight top universities in the northeastern US.The Chinese version,which was officially started in mid-October,consists of nine famous universities,including Peking,Tsinghua,Zhejiang and Fudan.The union is supposed to result in student exchange programs,recognition of academic achievements,and other joint programs.
The news of this Chinese"Ivy League"has received mixed responses from the public and press.Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying of international practices without fully understanding them.Others say that the"Ivy League"is not necessary but that the union is a good idea,one that could promote academic development.
So what's your opinion on a Chinese"Ivy League"?Do we need one?
Yes.Ivy League or not,nine of China's best universities cooperating is a good thing.
1.These universities combining resources could create a better environment for students and for research.It could also save a lot of time and resources because it would mean fewer unnecessary investments for some of the universities.
2.Allowing students to move to or have exchanges with other universities could broaden their horizons,improve their social skills and create more employment opportunities.The results could be more important than lessons and achievements.
3.The term"Ivy League"carries a sense of academic excellence,tradition and reputation.If borrowing such a term could encourage students'and professors'mental state and improve Chinese higher education,then there's no reason not to do it.
No.Universities should do some work on increasing cooperation instead of copying an"Ivy League"model.
1.Many Chinese universities already have such cooperation with each other.If this cooperation were associated with the"Ivy League",it would just distract (分散) attention and resources and have a negative effect.
2.These Chinese universities are all state-run and most get their funding from the government.They're quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldn't bring about as much potential ability as between,say,public and private,or Chinese and foreign universities.
3.China should find its own way to develop world-class universities instead of by copying some foreign practices.We have our own unique conditions and foreign lessons often don't apply well here.
Do we need an"Ivy League"?
Ivy in AmericaIt originally referred to an athletic conference of (71)eight top universities in the
northeast of America.







Ivy in China
FormationNine famous universities

(72)Purposes of the union 
To exchange students
To(73)recognize academic achievements
To work on the joint programs
(74)Responses   from the public
Positive side(75)Negative side 
The cooperation is good for the combination of resources and recreation of (76)a better environment.Attention will be drawn away and (78)resources  will be distracted.
Students will have less difficulty in finding jobs through the student exchange program.The cooperation won't have great effect because of their (79)similarities  in running universities.
The cooperation will (77)encourage  the students and professors mentally.China should develop world-class universities in its (80)unique  way without copying foreign countries blindly.

17.We've all seen them:perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles(腹肌).It's easy!Just pay﹩149.99 for the Torso Track or﹩149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist.Americans spend tens of million of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist.
And did they work?Not necessarily.Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how expensive they are-shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐).Some can even cause injury-like the﹩518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP,which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin,La Crosse.Others,like the popular Ab-Doer,trpically burn less energy than a gentle walk,according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise.
The fact is that many Americans don't have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles.They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can't lose enough fat to make a difference.Even if the underlying muscles are well developed,and it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of tan inch of fat.That's enough to dismiss most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.
So what works best?In its new study,the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer.A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10minutes a day performing such movements as"Body Boogies"and"Good Mornings"will"help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets."Steven Loy,professor at California State University,Northridge,tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements.He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises.They determined that the muscles were no more active,and in some cases less so,when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.
Taking a broader approach,researchers at San Diego State University compared 13abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles.They concluded,in a report published in May,that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time.Among the winners:the bicycle movements-so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor-and exercises performed on the"Captain's Chair",a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest.Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.

63.Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?C
A.Torso Track.
B.Ab-Doer.
C.Captain's Chair.
D.Body Shaper-Q8SP.
64.According to the author,it's difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles mainly becauseD.
A.they do not put in enough efforts
B.injuries interrupt their exercise frequently
C.they change their exercise routine regularly
D.how big their muscles will be is determined by birth
65.The author convinces the readers byC.
A.describing successful eases
B.offering professional connects
C.presenting findings of researches
D.comparing advertisements of products
66.What's the main purpose of this passage?B
A.To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.
B.To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.
C.To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.
D.To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.
