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，但一項新的研究表明，鹽開始影響兒童。年輕時吃太多咸的食物會導(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.”一個有高血壓的孩子更有可能成為一個有高血壓的成年人，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。可知，本段提供了一些可以減少食鹽攝入量的方法。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，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。7．閱讀理解 How do you spend your time？To get it, Paul T. Rankin asked sixtyeight individuals to keep an accurate, detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours. He discovered that 70percent of their waking time was spent on one thing onlymunication. Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories, they discovered that, vocabulary, more than any other factor yet known, predicts financial success. New words make us better thinkers as well as municators. What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary？But how？ Hybrid (雜交產(chǎn)生的) corn bines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity. A hybrid approach to vocabulary should, in the same way, ensure maximum results. That39。s why you should use the CPD formula. Through Context. When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading, 84percent said, Look it up in the dictionary. If you do, however, you shortcircuit the very mental processes needed to make your efforts most productive. But there39。s another reason. Suppose someone asks you what the word fast means. You answer, speedy or swift. But does it mean that in such context as fast color or fast friend？And if a horse is fast, is it securely tied or galloping at top speed？It could be either. It all depends. On the dictionary？No, on the context. After all, there are over twenty different meanings for fast in the dictionary. But the dictionary doesn39。t tell you which meaning is intended. That39。s why it makes such good sense to begin with context. Through Word Parts. Now for the next step. Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts, which, if recognized, provide definite help with meaning. Take the word monolithic for example. Try to separate the parts. There is the prefix mono, meaning one, and the rootlith, meaning stone. Finally, there39。s the suffixic, meaning consisting of. Those three parts add up to this definition：consisting of one stone. To speed up your use of word parts, you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language. The prefix and root elements in those few words are found in over 14, 000words. With those amazingly useful shortcuts, you can build up vocabulary, not at a snail39。s pace, one word at a time, but in giant leaps, up to a thousand words at a time. Through the Dictionary. Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last, not first. You39。ve looked carefully at the context. You39。ve looked for familiar word parts. Now you play Sherlock Homes. In light of context or word parts, you try to solve a mystery. What exactly does that strange word mean? Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to e up with a tentative （不確定的） definition should you open the dictionary to see if you39。re right. You are now personally involved. Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning. It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress. And when you see in black and white the definition you had expected, what a feeling of acplishment is yours. In that way, the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness. Well, there it is, your new formulaContext, Parts, Dictionary. Use it! The results will be like the money in the bank. （1）The research findings of the Human Engineering Laboratories show that ______ . and vocabularies are closely related and vocabularies are closely related of large vocabularies are bound to succeed in the future is of great importance to a student39。s academic performance（2）What would most college students do while ing across an unfamiliar word？ ______ help from others. the meaning through context. for familiar word parts. the dictionary.（3）What does monolingual mean according to the passage？ ______ only one language. two languages. or using many l
