【题目】七选五

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 1

The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. 2 So they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.

Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 3 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.

Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 4 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.

5 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.

A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.

But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.

C. In that case, they would live much healthier.

D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.

E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.

F. People today probably don’t want to live like our ancestors.

G. Modern people used to suffer from “diseases of civilization”.

【解析】

【语篇解读】最近，一些美国科学家给工业化国家的人们提供了一条有用的建议。他们说人们应该多吃一万年前的人类所吃的同样的食物。

【1】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。根据上一句“They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.”可知，美国科学家建议人们应该吃一万年前人们吃的 东西，所以“那样的话人们将活得更为健康”。故选C。

【2】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。根据前面提及的“Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.”以及后面的“they are called "diseases of civilization."”可知，以前是没有这些疾病的，E符合。故选E。

【3】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。根据前文“enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none.” 可知，古代人不抽烟喝酒，接下来应该说古代人还经常锻炼，这正是现代人与古人的区别，也是疾病 发生的原因。故选D。

【4】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。根据前面三句话可知古代人有很多好的习惯，而现代人恰恰相反， 后文提及了现代人的不好习惯。故选B。

【5】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。根据后半句“But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.”可知，现代 人不愿意像古代人那样生活。故选F。
