6、 realize they get water from U(15) /U in the diet. “ And too much water can be harmful, Repovich warned, leading possibly to U(16) /U in the body of sodium, a condition called hyponatremia.Its also a myth, that everyone needs U(17) /U, although Repovich admits to popping a multivitamin each morning.
7、 People who eat U(18) /U fruits, vegetables, whole grains, along with moderate amounts of a variety of low-fat U(19) /U and the right quantity of calories, probably dont need a vitamin supplement, she said. “But for the most part, we dont eat U(20) /U so probably a simple multivitamin is good for mo

38、s.（分数：5.00）_六、BSECTION 2: STUD(总题数：6，分数：60.00)Directions: In this section, you will read several passages. Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content.

39、n the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 1-5This view may be correct: it has the advantage that the currents are driven by temperature differences that themselves depend on
40、the position of the continents. Such a back-coupling, in which the position of the moving plate has an impact on the forces that move it, could produce complicated and varying motions.On the other hand, the theory is implausible because convection does not normally occur along lines, and it certainl
41、y does not occur along lines broken by frequent offsets or changes in direction, as the ridge is. Also it is difficult to see how the theory applies to the plate between the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. This plate is growing on both sides, and since there is no intermediate
42、trench, the two ridges must be moving apart. It would be odd if the rising convection currents kept exact pace with them. An alternative theory is that the sinking part of the plate, which is denser than the hotter surrounding mantle, pulls the rest of the plate after it. Again it is difficult to se
43、e how this applies to the ridge in the South Atlantic, where neither the African nor the American plate has a sinking part.Another possibility is that the sinking plate cools the neighboring mantle and produces convection currents that move the plates. This last theory is attractive because it gives
44、 some hope of explaining the enclosed seas, such as the Sea of Japan. These seas have a typical oceanic floor, except that the floor is overlaid by several kilometers of sediment. Their floors have probably been sinking for long periods.It seems possible that a sinking current of cooled mantle mater
45、ial on the upper side of the plate might be the cause of such deep basins. The enclosed seas are an important feature of the earths surface and seriously require explanation because, in addition to the enclosed seas that are developing at present behind island arcs, there are a number of older ones
46、of possibly similar origin, such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Black Sea, and perhaps the North Sea.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the traditional view of the origin of the ocean basins, which of the following is sufficient to move the continental plates? _（分数：2.00）A.Increases in sedimentation on ocean floors.
