Heat attack has long been considered a grownup problem, but a new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children. Eating too much salty food when you39。re young can lead to health problems later. Salt is made up of two elements: sodium and chlorine. Dietary guidelines remend that adults and kids aged 9 — 13 shouldn39。t consume more than about a teaspoon of salt daily. The average American eats twice this amount. This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood. To pump the extra blood, the heart has to work harder. This causes a rise in blood pressure a measurement of how stressed the heart is. High blood pressure often leads to heart disease. A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to bee a grownup with high blood pressure. Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity (肥胖). British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight, bee obese and develop high blood pressure. Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight. A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones. This painful condition usually affects people aged over 40. Now, kids as young as five are getting it. Cutting down on salt can be hard, but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food. The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually. Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do. Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions. And go easy on the condiments (調(diào)味品). You might also want to start reading nutrition labels. You may be surprised to learn that there are 1,150 mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger, and over 2, 000 mg in many frozen meals.(1)What is the author39。s major concern? eat too much salty food. adults suffer from heart attack. consume too much salt. attack is now a youth problem.(2)What does the author refer to as the cause of childhood obesity? more salty food. of physical exercise. many sugary soft drinks. the same food as the adults.(3)What is another disease tending to be younger according to Paragraph 4? . stone. disease. attack.(4)What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? laws of health. to cut down on salt. diet. amount of salt we need.【答案】 (1)A(2)C(3)B(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了鹽對心臟有影響的原因,以及人們在日常生活中保持低鹽的生活方式。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Heat attack has long been considered a grownup problem, but a new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children. Eating too much salty food when you39。re young can lead to health problems later. ”長期以來,心臟病被認(rèn)為是成年人的問題,但一項(xiàng)新的研究表明,鹽開始影響兒童。年輕時(shí)吃太多咸的食物會(huì)導(dǎo)致以后的健康問題;以及第三段中的“A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to bee a grownup with high blood pressure.”一個(gè)有高血壓的孩子更有可能成為一個(gè)有高血壓的成年人,可知,文章作者特別擔(dān)心孩子食用過咸的食物導(dǎo)致心臟病和高血壓。故選A。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity (肥胖). British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. ”減少鹽可能有助于阻止兒童長胖。英國的研究人員最近發(fā)現(xiàn)吃鹽少的孩子喝的含糖飲料也更少,可知,作者認(rèn)為吃多鹽食品和喝過多含糖的軟飲料也會(huì)使孩子長胖。故選C。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones. This painful condition usually affects people aged over 40. Now, kids as young as five are getting it.”最近一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)越來越多的美國孩子正在患腎結(jié)石。這種痛苦的病通常只在40歲以上的人才患,現(xiàn)在五歲的孩子也在遭受這種疾病,可知,研究發(fā)現(xiàn)現(xiàn)在腎結(jié)石這種病正在變得年輕化。故選B。 (4)考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第五段中的“The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually. Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do. Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions. And go easy on the condiments(調(diào)味品). You might also want to start reading nutrition labels. ”減少鈉攝入量的最好方法是逐漸改變。先在晚餐中加入平時(shí)一半的食鹽。食用新鮮食品而非罐裝或者瓶裝食品。少放些調(diào)味品。你可能也要閱讀營養(yǎng)標(biāo)簽??芍?,本段提供了一些可以減少食鹽攝入量的方法。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。9.閱讀理解 Young mums shopping in the Copley Mall in downtown Bostonmonth found themselves being questioned about their use of soap by students from Harvard Business School usually known as HBS. The students were not doing odd jobs to earn beer money. They were preparing to help a firm in Brazil launch an antibacterial cleanser. The 900 students arriving in Boston this summer for their twoyear course were told that they would be subjects. The new practical addition to HBS39。s curriculum is known as FIELD that stands for Field Immersion Experiences for Leadership Development. Fieldwork — ie, going out and talking to people — is a big change for HBS. Not all the staff and students were overjoyed to be experimented on. But the man responsible, Nitin Nohria, head of HBS, says that If it works, the FIELD method could bee an equal partner to the case method. What happens in the second year of the new course is still being worked out. But the first year has three elements. First, teambuilding exercises. Students take turns to lead a group engaged in a project. They learn to cooperate and to give and take feedback. Second, students will be sent to work for a week with one of more than 140 firms in 11 countries. In the third part of the course, students will be given eight weeks, and seed money of $3,000 each, to launch a small pany. The most successful, as voted by their fellow students, will get more funding. The experiment does not e cheap, adding 510% to the course39。s cost, which HBS will bear while it figures out what works.(1)Why were the students questioning those young mums, according to the first paragraph? promote an antibacterial cleanser. earn some money. prepare to help a firm to launch a product. make a study a
