Think about vitamin D when you’re catching up on summer rays. It’s sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble (脂溶性的) vitamin in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. It can affect as many as 2,000 genes in the body.

Vitamin D has several important functions. Perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorous（磷）, and promoting normal immune system function. Getting enough vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improving resistance against certain diseases.

In addition to its primary benefits, research suggests that vitamin D may also play a role in:

reducing your risk of multiple sclerosis（多發(fā)性硬化）, according to a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association

decreasing your chance of developing heart disease, according to 2008 findings published in Circulation

helping to reduce your possibility of developing the flu, according to 2010 research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

regulating mood and warding off depression

losing weight or preventing heart disease

How do you get it? Your body produces vitamin D naturally when it is directly exposed to sunlight. A little can go a long way. All you need is 10 minutes a day of midday, pre-sunscreen sun exposure,especially if you have fair skin. Besides getting vitamin D through sunlight, you can also get it through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels of the vitamin in your blood.

1.Why is Vitamin D sometimes called “Sunshine Vitamin”?

A. Because it is produced in your skin reacting to sunlight.

B. Because it is named a fat-soluble vitamin.

C. Because it is produced with enough sunshine.

D. Because it is like sunshine in summer.

2.How can a person ensure enough Vitamin D in his/ her body?

A. He/ She could ask doctors for help.

B. He/ She should walk a long way in the sunlight.

C. He/ She should be exposed to sunlight for a long time.

D. He/ She should get it through sunlight, foods and supplements.

3.Which of the following is NOT the function of Vitamin D?

A. Preventing heart disease.

B. Helping the body grow normally.

C. Producing calcium and phosphorous.

D. Decreasing anxiety and nervousness.

4.Which is the best title of the passage?

A. Vitamin D Family

B. Vitamin D, You Need It

C. Ways to get Vitamin D

D. A Good Medicine—Vitamin D

Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought． Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way． The lack of punctuation marks probably didn’t bother good readers, though． As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best． Also at this time, sentences switched directions． A sentence read from

left to right． The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc． The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They put something that can separate words in a sentence． The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word punctum,

which means a dot.

When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points． The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading． Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation． He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence． He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause． Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma (逗號).

Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family． The exclamation mark (感嘆號) comes from the Latin word io． It means “exclamation of joy.” The question mark originally started out as the Latin word questio, meaning question． Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question.

Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays． New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways． Take for example the “interrobang”． This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both． For example, “She did what?” or “How much did you pay for that dress?” Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.

1.From the first paragraph, we can know that _______.

A． good readers had trouble reading without punctuation marks

B． a sentence always read from left to right in ancient Greece

C． ancient Greeks switched the direction of punctuation marks

D． the use of punctuation marks can date back to ancient times

2.The passage is developed _______.

A． by time B． by space

C． by comparison D． by importance

3.We can learn from the passage that _______.

A． ancient Romans didn’t use any punctuation marks

B． exclamation and question marks came from Latin

C． spaces and slashes were already used before the 5th century

D． Aldus Manutius first started to use commas

4.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A． The combination of two marks will not work.

B． It takes time for people to accept new punctuation marks.

C． Old punctuation marks need to be standardized.

D． Punctuation marks are still changing today.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項中（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

In one of the old buildings near our school,one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor,His name was James.During the three years at school,I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.

He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife .Once there was a bus accident,in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and taken to the hospital for treatment.James was responsible for the rescue operation.It was a big hospital,but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was.There was no enough life-saving drugs and life-supporting equipment.The injured and their companions had to struggle there .James attempted to help .However,though he emptied his pockets,many of them died that day.

That was a turning point in his life.He made a decision to devote his life to helping others,particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions.He began to spend much of his income on these people.Since this required much time and energy,he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire,which,in turn,reduced his income considerably.

His wife was deeply worried.Most of the time,James was out and paid least attention to home affairs.Meanwhile,as he was spending a lot helping others,she had struggle even to meet the household expenses.Though she was not against his helping the poor,she urged him not to ignore his own home and life,but it had no effect on him.She decided to leave him ,never to return.Though he continued his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors.That was when he took his position by the window,spending his time looking outside.

A few weeks after my graduation,I returned to school,only to find the building gone.I heard that they were torn down.Everyone left except James.He refused to go and the next morning,he was found at his usual place by the window,dead.

1.What changed James view toward life?

A.The difficulties in his career.

B.The deaths in the bus accident.

C.The bad conditions in the hospital.

D.The responsibilities in the hospital.

2.James’wife left because
