26、Vitamins are meant to improve people’s immune system, and with the spread of SARS many Chinese are taking vitamins A, C and E every day.
But some US researchers say that vitamin supplements can’t correct a poor diet, and that multivitamins have not been shown to prevent any diseases. It is also easy for high doses of certain vitamins and minerals to actually increase the risk of disease.
Experts say that they are no longer concerned about vitamins deficiencies. Those are almost unheard of today, even with the population eating fewer fruits and vegetables. Instead, the concern is with the dangers of vitamin excess (过量).
Dr. Benjamin Caballero, a member of the Food and Nutrition Board at the US National Academy of Sciences, said that for some supplements, including vitamin A, the difference between the normal dose from a healthy diet and the recommended dose that could lead to disease like osteoporosis (bone disease) was not large. Popular multivitamins, he added, often contain what could be risky dose.
Similar questions are being raised about other vitamins and minerals, particularly iron and vitamins E and C.
Researchers say the questions involve multivitamins taken by healthy people, not specific vitamins or minerals taken by groups with special needs.
Some elderly people, for example, may lack B12 because they lose their ability to absorb it from foods.
People who spend little time outdoors may require vitamin D, which the skin makes when it is exposed to sunlight. Even when older people are in the sun, aging skin loses much of its ability to create the vitamins.
“If you eat junk food every day, vitamins are the least of your problems.” said Dr Caballero. “You can’t replace a healthy diet. People are looking for the magic bullet which doesn’t exist.”
【1】From the second paragraph, we can find that _________.
A.parents should prevent their children from taking vitamins
B.doctors shouldn’t use any vitamins on their patients
C.vitamins only increase the risk of disease
D.vitamins should be taken with care
【2】What do experts mean in the third paragraph?
A.People usually have unhealthy diet.
B.People usually lead a hard life.
C.People seldom lack vitamins.
D.People seldom suffer from disease.
【3】Vitamin A, as Dr. Benjamin Caballero described in the fourth paragraph, _________.
A.is dangerous for people to take
B.is very useful to bone disease
C.should be taken carefully
D.should be taken by a large amount
【4】The writer of this passage seems to suggest that we should _________.
A.have junk food every day
B.have a healthy diet every day
C.try to find the magic vitamins
D.take some vitamins every day
27、Carmakers, including BMW, Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot, warned that the worldwide semiconductor processor shortage will continue in 2021 and beyond. The shortage has affected both production and sales of automobiles.
Automobiles have become increasingly dependent on processors, also known as chips. They are needed for computers to help engines with better fuel economy and assist drivers in emergency braking. Without a good supply of chips, carmakers have centered production on higher-profit models. The higher prices keep their businesses going even though they are selling fewer cars.
Richard Palmer is the chief financial officer of Stellantis. The company sells cars, under 14 brands including Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot. He said the company did not expect chip supply to improve before the last three months of the year. That would mean a production loss of around 1.4 million vehicles for 2021.
The German carmaker warned that there will be more problems during the second half of this year. "The longer the supply bottlenecks last, the more tense the situation is likely to become," BMW chief financial officer Nicolas Peter said in a statement. “We expect production restrictions to continue in the second half of the year. Those restrictions will cause a lower number of sales,” he added.
German chipmaker Infineon Technologies confirmed the shortage. The company said the latest wave of COVID-19 cases slows the production of materials in Asia. And the amounts of goods available have now hit all-time lows. Reinhard Ploss is the Chief Executive Officer of Infineon. He told economists that a sharp limit of supplies is hurting the recovery of worldwide car markets. He observed that "it will take time to get back" to a balance between supply and demand. "In our view, this will take until well into 2022," he added.
【1】How do carmakers deal with reduced sales?
A.By improving production technology.
B.By selling cars with lower fuel consumption.
C.By offering better emergency braking systems.
D.By producing high-priced cars.
【2】Why does the author mention Richard Palmer and Nicolas Peter?
A.To stress the seriousness of the present situation.
B.To provide a solution to the reduced sales.
C.To convey their expectation of the car production.
D.To highlight the importance of chips for carmakers.
【3】What's Reinhard Ploss' attitude towards car production and sales?
A.Hopeful.
B.Indifferent.
C.Worried.
D.Doubtful.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.The Decline of Car Sales
B.Chip Shortage and its Influence
C.The Restrictions of Production
D.The Balance between Supply and Demand

29、People in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May and Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It’s also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It’s not the value of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.

31、根据汉语提示补全短文。
Based on the 【1】(心理学) behind creating a desire to buy, advertisers have developed ways of persuading people into 【2】(购买) their products or services. A common technique to make an impact is to create a 【3】(难忘的) 【4】(口号). 【5】(口号) use simple but impressive language to make us remember the product or service being advertised. Some of these slogans may also appeal to (迎合) our emotions. For example, a slogan may connect a fine china 【6】(茶壶) it aims to promote with our pride in having good taste. You will hear a variety of slogans any time you watch TV. Think about your favourite one. What makes it special? And what message does it try to 【7】(被传达)? A slogan which communicates an idea effectively can【8】(使增长) sales and even becomes part of popular culture. That is the power of memorable slogans.
Another technique advertisers often employ is to link their company or product to a “【9】(品牌)【10】(大使)”-a famous actor, a sports star, or even a fictional character. Think of a popular fast-food restaurant. Does it have a 【11】(品牌大使)? Is the 【12】(品牌大使) popular among potential customers? The more we like the brand ambassador, the more we will be attracted to buy the product.
