Eating too much salty food when you39。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。 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. 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. re young can lead to health problems later. 8.閱讀理解 選A。然后通過兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)證明,將內(nèi)心的感受通過說或者寫的方式表達(dá)出來從長遠(yuǎn)看會(huì)有助于身體對抗疾病。 (4)考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第三段中的“The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses…”可知,白細(xì)胞是用來對抗細(xì)菌和病毒的,因此these invaders 指的就是細(xì)菌和病毒這些“入侵者”。故選C。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics.”可知,在隨后的幾個(gè)月里,那些選擇在寫作中表達(dá)自己內(nèi)心想法和感受的學(xué)生,比那些寫過日常話題的人更少去看病。所以從長遠(yuǎn)來看,不要默默忍受,說出來或者寫出來將有助于身體對抗疾病。許多專家認(rèn)為將與令人不安的事件有關(guān)的思想和情感表達(dá)出來是十分重要的。The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. It follows, then, that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems, but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run.(1)In the first experiment, the students who wrote about painful events ________. to suffer psychological problems sharing their inner thought and feelings less likely to seek treatment for sickness39。 Recently, a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and longterm health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics. 7.閱讀理解 故選C。權(quán)威人士說這樣的訓(xùn)練能幫助學(xué)生在找工作和生活中成功。 (3)考查推理判斷。所以非洲中級學(xué)校的改變是他們努力教給學(xué)生軟技能。但現(xiàn)在這樣的情況正在改變。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。所以軟件操作不是個(gè)人品質(zhì),就不是軟技能。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。Emmanuel Ntagungira is a teacher and works as a trainer for Akazi Kanoze Access, He often visits employers who have given jobs to high schools.
