题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes(糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke(中风).
New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt I use in cooking. The recommended daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you avoid processed(加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t exceed the daily level.
The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.
A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt shaker, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.
I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.
小题1:The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A.white peopleB.black people
C.untreated diseasesD.high blood pressure and diabetes
小题2:What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?
A.Black people take in too much salt.
B.Black people’s meals are very special.
C.Processed foods have too much salt in them.
D.6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult.
小题3:What would the writer probably suggest black people do?
A.Order no salad in a restaurant.B.Take in no salt for several days.
C.Stop cooking their favorite meals.D.Eat less takeaways.
小题4:The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to ______.
A.thank those who came to his home for his research
B.let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier
C.show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home
D.prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is
小题5:What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Watch the salt.B.Take care, black people.
C.Say no to takeaways.D.Say no to high blood pressure.

试题分析:本文主要讲述的就是在人类的健康问题中,食用的盐太多是一个主要的问题,建议人们要少吃盐。
小题1:D 推理题。根据文章第一段Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes(糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases.说明这里的it就是指上句的高血压和糖尿病,故D正确。

核心考点
试题【Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Lots of folks don"t think about what they eat over the holiday season until January, when they stare sadly at the number on the scale and then hurry off to hit the gym, join Weight Watchers or pick up the latest diet book.
It doesn"t have to be that way. Health experts say you can still enjoy the holidays.
"It"s OK to indulge(沉溺), but it doesn"t mean you have to gain weight," said Karen Ansel, a New York-based registered dietitian and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Jessica Crandall, a registered dietitian from Denver who"s also an ADA spokeswoman, added that gaining weight during the holidays and then working hard to lose it again is not good for a person"s body.
For starters, people interested in maintaining their weight during the holidays should keep eating on a regular schedule, the two dietitians said. Research has shown that people who skip meals -- particularly breakfast -- end up eating more throughout the day. "Try and stick to consistent meal times so you can avoid being overly hungry," Crandall said. "When you"re overly hungry, you can make some bad decisions regarding what you eat. Don"t starve yourself during the day waiting for that party at night -- because you"ll eat too much or overeat."
Ansel suggests that you think now about the foods you really enjoy and plan to focus on those while eating less of more common fare.
Be careful, too, about alcohol intake, for a couple of reasons. Alcoholic drinks, particularly the fancy ones handed out at holiday time, tend to come loaded with calories. "It"s usually what you"re adding to a drink that contains the calories," Crandall said. Also, if you"re drunk, you might forget to watch what you"re eating. "It totally lowers your inhibitions(压抑)," Ansel said.
Other holiday eating tips, suggested by Crandall and Ansel, include:
•Eat lots of vegetables, and eat them first before moving on to the other items on your plate.
•Recognize that many holiday extras, like cheese or cranberry sauce, come loaded with calories. "If those aren"t your favorite foods, don"t put them on your plate," Crandall said.
•If your favorite food has a lot of calories, be sure to minimize your portion. "Two bites cure the craving," Crandall said. "After that, you"re just really feeding your old habits.
•After a big holiday meal, don"t sink into a chair or couch. Go for a walk outdoors or participate in some other activities that help burn off some of the calories you"ve just eaten.
小题1:Both Karen Ansel and Jessica Crandall ________.
A.think highly of the latest popular diet book
B.like going to the gym often
C.think trying to lose weight isn’t good for a person’s body
D.are registered dietitians and work for ADA
小题2:Ansel asks people wishing to keep slim not to skip meals because _________.
A.it will do harm to their stomachs.
B.being overly hungry will make them feel not well
C.it may make them eat more
D.it might let them make bad decisions on important occasion
小题3:Why does Crandall advise people wanting to lose weight not to drink wine?
A.Because if they’re drunk, they can watch what they eat.
B.Because it will make it hard for their body to burn calories.
C.Because wine itself contains many calories.
D.Because it will make them feel more stressed.
小题4:Which of the following is the proper way to keep slim according to the passage?
A.Eating more vegetables than rice and other food.
B.Eating more cheese or cranberry sauce.
C.Never eat food with a lot of calories.
D.Sitting less and walking more after meals.
小题5:The passage mainly talks about __________.
A.some advice on holiday eatingB.how to keep slim

As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.
小题1:Today medical care is placing more stress on ________.
A.keeping people in a healthy physical condition
B.monitoring patients’ body functions
C.removing people’s bad living habits
D.ensuring people’s psychological well-being
小题2:In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ________.
A.good health is more than not being ill
B.drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful
C.regular health checks are essential to keeping fit
D.prevention is more difficult than cure
小题3:Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he ________.
A.does not have any unhealthy living habits
B.does not have any physical handicaps
C.is able to handle his daily routines
D.is free from any kind of disease
小题4:According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people ________.
A.to best satisfy their body’s special needs
B.to strive to maintain the best possible health
C.to meet the strictest standards of bodily health
D.to keep a proper balance between work and leisure
小题5:According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?
A.People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
B.People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.
C.People who try to be as possible, regardless of their limitations.
D.People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.

There is an English saying :“laughter is best medicine .”Until recently ,few people took the saying seriously .Now however ,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body .They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health .
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body .People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts ,blood pressure ,breathing and muscles .It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise .It increases blood pressure ,the heart beating and breathing ; it also works several groups of muscles in the face ,the stomach ,and even the feet .If laughter exercises the body ,it must be beneficial .
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body .In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes .The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme .The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain .
