Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.
Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.
The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.
To stop this vicious(恶性的) circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.

答案
小题1:A
小题2:B
小题3:B
小题4:C
小题5:D
解析
小题1:推理判断题。说明文的题目一定和文章的说明对象有直接关系,所以做题之前了解本文的说明对象有重要意义,即raw and whole foods好、cooked and refined foods不好。而第二段中指出,natural enzymes是raw food中重要的成分,好处是什么,破坏了以后坏处是什么。所以根据这样的思路,答案为A选项。注意中文注释再次发挥极为重要的作用。
小题2:细节理解题。第三段一开始提到问题中的processed food,所以答案可以轻易的定位至第三段。此段一直提到各种负态度描述,所以关注最后一句的the result is weight gain and obesity,可以很容易的选出答案B选项。此段文章内容非常不好理解,但是把握阅读理解的要求,关注文章中的重点信息,题目其实并不难。如何在短时间内发掘文章中的重点信息,不受大量冗余信息干扰再次很重要,这是阅读理解考察的主要方向。
小题3:主旨大意题。只要知道文章的说明对象是raw and whole foods,此题就不难确定答案B选项。processed foods是用来和raw and whole foods对比以突出后者的,所以排除C选项和D选项。至于A选项的信息在68题已经考过了,再次出题的可能性就不大。
小题4:推理判断题。说明文的题目一定和文章的说明对象有直接关系,所以对应答案C选项。文章中只提到了raw foods好,没有说具体的烹饪方式,所以排除貌似与说明对象有关的B选项。而且raw foods经过cook以后,不就变成作者反对的cooked foods了。
小题5:推理判断题。结合文中的Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help可知答案。

Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never received widespread acceptance because of two reasons. First,most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many regard it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive —not as something fun or enjoyable.
As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun as long as you find a proper way to practise it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce(跳) over and over again, players good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double –bounce , a skip, a knee-up, side swings , as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping .
Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning . It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres(半球)to perform equallyto each other . In short, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space , yet leading to a much healthier life.
小题1:The main purpose of the first paragraph is to tell us that .
A.people would rather have exercise in a gym than do sports outside |
B.there seems to be too much advanced equipment for people to use |
C.racing around the playground was regarded as children’s favorite sport |
D.jumping rope has escaped from people’s memories in modern society |
A.it benefits the cardiovascular system |
B.it is too difficult for people to learn to jump |
C.it is believed to be boring and repetitive |
D.it requires little equipment, time and space |
A.there is only one proper way to follow |
B.the usual way should not be used again |
C.the easiest way is always the best one |
D.there are different kinds of ways to follow |
A.only prepares the brain for learning |
B.is suitable for students only |
C.helps both brain hemispheres work together |
D.can be dangerous for old people |
A.He strongly argues against it. |
B.He is in favour of it. |
C.He is sitting on the fence of it . |
D.He knows little about it . |
Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple words, this means that the soil has been nourished(给…营养) by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in commercial farming area.
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry(家禽):there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.
There are other sides of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually unnecessary food. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fibre.
小题1:People have become more interested in natural foods because______.
A.they want to keep healthy |
B.they want to taste all kinds of foods |
C.natural foods are more delicious than processed foods |
D.they want to return to nature |
A.they are fed on food which is little better than garbage |
B.they live in very crowded condition |
C.the eggs they produce lack vitamins |
D.they are allowed to move about and eat freely |
A.people can only find sugar to give them energy |
B.sugar is bad for the health |
C.the use of sugar is habit forming |
D.sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful |
A sense of humour also plays an important role in human relationships. However, not everyone has a sense of humour. People with developmental disabilities (发展性能力丧失) can sometimes have no sense of humour, or have a very strange one.
A number of factors affect a person’s sense of humour, with the age probably being the main one. Young children are often highly amused by simple jokes or shows, while teenagers prefer to enjoy the ironic (讽刺的) events. Educational level, culture, and religious faith also affect one’s sense of humour. While Christians, for example, may have a deep appreciation of jokes about the Bible, others may find them disrespectful.
Many people believe that a sense of humour is something that develops on its own, and that you cannot teach someone to understand why jokes, certain comments, situations or events are funny. However, things can be done to enhance one’s sense of humour. Children, for example, benefit from being told jokes and encouraged to laugh, although some children’s jokes might seem rather strange to adults. If you have children, try to encourage them to tell jokes and think about what makes things funny. And it will help them develop a sense of humour.
小题1:The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A.explain what influences a person’s sense of humour |
B.tell readers the importance of being healthy |
C.explain how to make better decisions |
D.tell readers how to understand jokes |
A.Enjoy. | B.Reduce. | C.Improve. | D.Prevent. |
A.Culture. | B.Age. |
C.Educational level. | D.Family backgrounds. |
For years, medical experts have studied nostalgia and the reasons for it. Many experts warn that too much nostalgia is harmful. They say linger (徘徊) in the past shows that a person is unhappy with his present life. These feelings keep the person from living his life to its fullest.
Dr. Louise Kaplan has written several books about nostalgia. She says these feelings often begin when a young person is between 13 and 19 years old.
"This is the time when you must face the loss of your childhood, " Kaplan says. "You see your new life is easily destroyed. But you think romantically about a golden
past. You remember your childhood as a time when life was perfect."
These feelings continue as a person gets older, Kaplan adds. She says many grown persons have a hard time keeping up with changes in the modem world, so they think back to their younger years. At that time the world seemed simple and more harmless.
Kaplan says these feelings are not always actually existing. The good old days weren"t always good. However, she says nostalgia can be helpful, if used properly.
"Feelings of nostalgia can cause you to remember a time when you had high hopes and dreams, " Kaplan says. "It might give you the strong wish to catch those dreams today, in your present life." She adds that nostalgia can prevent you from "cutting yourself off from your aim."
"At its best, " Kaplan says, "nostalgia has the ideas for the future."

A.can cause you to think of your past which was full of hopes and dreams |

B.times are hard, so they can not keep up with changes |
C.many grown persons have little time keeping up with changes in the modem world |
D.they lived in the past, of which they are always proud |
A.Too much nostalgia is harmful. |
B.Nostalgia shows that a person is not satisfied with his present life. |
C.Only women have feelings of nostalgia. |
