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. 3However, 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.

B.But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.

C.In that case, they would live/span> 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".

【答案】

【1】C

【2】E

【3】D

【4】B

【5】F

【解析】

试题分析:这篇文章主要讲了人们现在由于食品种类的增多而引发的一些疾病,科学家认为如果人们能回归到古代人的饮食方式,将会生活的更健康。

【1】C 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:他们说人们应该吃一万年前人们吃的一样的东西。所以这里选C(在那种情况下,他们将会生活的更健康。)与上下文一致。

【2】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:我们的身体已经不能够处理生活方式带来的变化,从而带来新的疾病。空后的意思是:所以他们被称为文明的疾病。所以这里选E(这些新的疾病在古时候是不存在的。)与上下文一致。

【3】D考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:科学家们发现在旧石器时代或者新石器时代人们很少喝酒或者烟草,或者没有。空后的意思是:食物的变化是古代和现代最主要的不同。。所以这里选D(古代的人们也会锻炼身体。)与上下文一致。

【4】B考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:他们没有牛奶或者任何奶制品,他们也不会利用粮食。空后的意思是:我们的吃的盐是古代人的六倍。所以这里选B(但是今天我们吃了很多。)与上下文一致。

【5】F考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是:但是科学家说我们将会吃的更健康如果我们按照古代人的那种饮食。所以这里选F(今天的人们不想过和祖先一样的居住环境。)与上下文一致。

Climate change has caused a rise in sea levels.This has increased an amount of salt in fresh water used on farms near the sea.As a result farmers are unable to use fields close to the sea.Scientists call this process “salinization(盐碱化)”,which is reducing the world’s farm lands by 1 to 2 percent every year.

But a farmer in Holland,Marc Van Rijsselberghe started with an experiment,using a mixture of sea and fresh water to grow healthy and tasty vegetables.He put several kinds of plants in the fields.Mr.Van Rijsselberghe worked on the project with scientists from the Free University of Amsterdam.He divided a farm into eight areas.Every area was watered by different water.“We put in a lot of plants in the fields and then we put them in fresh water and in sea water with all the varieties(变化) between them,and then we saw which variety was surviving and which variety was dying.”A computer program created water with eight levels of salinity(盐度).Computerized measuring devices(测量仪器)controlled the water levels and the levels of salinity.

Mr.Van Rijsselberghe said he was able to harvest vegetables from most of the eight test areas.He said the vegetables were smaller than those grown in fresh water.But he said they had more sugar and salt,so they tasted better.

The farmer grew carrots,potatoes,cabbage and onions.He found that potatoes grew better than the other vegetables in the combination of sea and fresh water.Mr.Van Rijsselberghe said four kinds of these potatoes were recently sent to Pakistan,where thousands of hectares(公顷)of land have been damaged by salinization.Farmers in Pakistan will test the Dutch potatoes to see if they can be grown in those fields.

【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Farms near the sea are becoming less and less in Holland.

B.The damage salinization brings to the farms in Holland.

C.Farmers improve the skills to make full use of fresh water.

D.A Dutch farmer uses a mixture of sea and fresh water to grow vegetables.

【2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The plant.

B.Fresh water.

C.Sea water.

D.Fresh and sea water.

【3】It can be known from the passage that .

A.salinization brings great benefits to farmers in Holland

B.the farmer did the experiment using high technology

C.vegetables grew better in sea water than in fresh water in the experiment

D.the farmer achieved success without anyone else helping him in the experiment

【4】The vegetables watered by a mixture of sea and fresh water .

A.had less sugar than those grown in fresh water

B.were much bigger than those grown in fresh water

C.had a better taste than those grown in fresh water

D.had more beautiful colors than those grown in fresh water

【题目】阅读下面的文章,从每题后面所给的四个选项中选出正确的一项。

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.

One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

【1】The passage tells us that ________.

A.people seldom work long hours to make money

B.people hardly buy more things than necessary

C.people are sure everything they own is in the right place

D.people realize there is more to life than just making money

【2】When Daniel was a reporter he ________.

A.lived in central London B.disliked his job

C.missed his children D.was well paid

【3】Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ________.

A.was easy to organize B.has improved family life

C.was extremely expensive D.has been a total success

【4】What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?

A.People work long hours to earn their living.

B.To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.

C.Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.

D.People spent too much time and money eating meals.
