Of course you do! Do you eat it anyway? Of course you do! But a new study shows teaching adolescents about the ways food panies fool them into thinking junk food is cool can encourage kids to fight back—by eating healthier. The pull of junk food can be superstrong. It39。s designed to tasty。 which makes eating well one of the great health challenges of our time. Everyone from doctors to the government has been trying to handle it. Yet we keep eating junk food. Professor Christopher Bryan says, Food panies want you to want junk food. They spend millions of dollars ing up with new ways to^ promote junk food consumption. They hire scientists to make new junk food almost irresistible. They might do this, for example, by adding more sugar. Rats fed junk food for six weeks will even walk across a floor that gives them electric shocks just to get more of such food. Food ads often make unhealthy junk food seem healthy by featuring professional athletes, fitlooking pop stars and smiling, active teens. We thought when the students learned this, it would matter to them, Bryan says. He worked with 8th graders at a Texas school. Half of them got a lesson Bryan created. It focused on the ways junk food is advertised, or marketed. A second group received lessons that focused on health. These lessons informed students junk food is had, and that foods like apples or carrots are a better choice. The students learned a bad diet can lead to major weight gain, and that being overweight puts people at risk for serious diseases. They also learned how eating well now can keep you healthy when you39。re older. After the lessons, the kids in both groups were asked how they felt about junk food. Most didn39。t have positive feelings about these unhealthy foods.(1)Why does the author mention the questions in paragraph 1? A.To express his doubts about junk food.B.To promote the idea of healthy eating.C.To describe the situation of junk food.D.To introduce the topic for discussion.(2)What remains a great health challenge to doctors?

A.Shocking.B.Popular.C.Effective.D.Abstract.【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)C(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,研究表明:讓青少年了解食品公司的推銷方式比單純告訴他們垃圾食品的危害更能讓他們選擇健康的飲食。 (1)考查推理判斷??v觀全文可知本文介紹了一項研究:讓青少年了解食品公司的推銷方式比單純告訴他們垃圾食品的危害更能讓他們選擇健康的飲食??梢酝茢喑?,文章第一段中提及那兩個問題Do you know that junk food isn39。t healthy? 你知道垃圾食品不健康嗎?Do you eat it anyway? 你仍然還吃垃圾食品? 是為了引出本文要討論的話題。故選D。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的“It39。s designed to be tasty, which makes eating well one of the great health challenges of our time. Everyone from doctors to the government has been trying to handle it.”可知,垃圾食品很美味,這使吃得好成為一個巨大的健康挑戰(zhàn),從醫(yī)生到政府每一個人都一直在努力應對這一挑戰(zhàn)。由此可知,對醫(yī)生而言,讓人們吃得健康依然是一個巨大的健康挑戰(zhàn)。故選B。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據第三段中先提到“食品公司想要消費者想吃垃圾食品”,緊接著說到“它們(食品公司)花巨資想辦法推廣垃圾食品,它們聘請科學家制作新的垃圾食品,使人們幾乎無法抗拒”,接著還舉例說“它們可能會往垃圾食品中添加更多的糖”。由此可以推斷,作者在本段主要是想告訴讀者食品公司是如何想方設法讓人們去吃垃圾食品的。故選C。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據第四段主要介紹Bryan給德克薩斯州的一所學校的八年級學生們上的課,再根據文章最后一段After the lessons, the kids in both groups were asked how they felt about junk food. Most didn39。t have positive feelings about these unhealthy ,課后當這些孩子被問及他們對垃圾食品的看法時,大多數人對這些不健康的食品都不持正面的看法。由此可以推斷,Bryan的課是有效的。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,并根據上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。6.閱讀理解 The spine (脊柱) stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains a major collection of nerves that deliver electric signals from the rest of the body to your brain. So it39。s important to take care of it.

A proper position means standing or sitting while keeping your spins straight, except for its natural bending. Positions play a vital part even when you39。re asleep. St
