C

According to scientists’ research, the month in which babies are born could affect them in

some ways.

Babies born in spring get sick easily. Children born under Aquarius (Jan. 21st—Feb. 19th)

may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those

born in autumn. Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother’s

exposure to sunlight in pregnancy (怀孕). Sunlight helps lead to the production of vitamin D in

the body. The lack (缺乏) of vitamin D in the first months of life may have a bad effect on

health.

Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin”. It has a good effect on health. A study showed

that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October,

November or December. Similar studies in the US showed that people born in autumn lived

about 160 days longer than those born in spring.

Professor Russell Foster said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added,

“These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they

are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.”

( )41. A child’s season of birth can affect all the following things EXCEPT according to the

first two paragraphs.

A. his health B. his height

C. his length of lifeD. his quality of being clever

( )42. What does the underlined word “exposure” mean in Chinese?

A.

偏爱 B.

抗拒C.

过敏 D.

暴露

( )43. What can we know about vitamin D according to the passage?

A. It comes from sunlight.

B. It helps people live longer.

C. Sunlight prevents its production.

D. It does harm to people’s health.

( )44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Women should get enough sunlight in pregnancy.

B. Children born under Aquarius are cleverer than those born in autumn.

C. People born in May will live longer than those born in October.

D. Professor Russell Foster is interested in star signs and believes in them.

( )45. What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. People can know the length of life by star sign.

B. Women should choose to give birth to children in spring.

C. A child’s season of birth has an effect on him or her.

D. Vitamin D is very important to people’s health.

七、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。

Dear Helen,

Thanks for your last letter. Yes, I’m enjoying myself on my exchange program in France.

It’s even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was

no reason to be. My host family are really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at

home. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has improved! I’m very comfortable

speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t make me worried as it

used to. My biggest challenge (挑战) is learning how to behave (表现) at the dinner table. As

you can imagine, things are really not the same as the way they are at home. For example, you

shouldn’t put your bread on your plate. You should put it on the table! I thought that was very

strange at first, but now I’m used to it. You shouldn’t eat anything with your hands except bread,

not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.) Another thing is that it is very rude

to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also,

it’s rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows

(肘部), on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually

getting used to things and don’t find them so strange any more.

I’ll write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope you’re having a good school

year.

Yours,

Li Ying
