4.Organic food,grown without artificial chemicals,is increasingly popular nowadays.Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels.However,if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritiousand safer product,you might want to save your money.A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious,and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria,either.
The latest results,published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine,suggest that buyers may be wasting their money."We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,"says Dr.Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford."So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer."
For their new study,Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research,including 17studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products,and 223studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods,including key vitamins,minerals and fats.
While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content,they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces.Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards.And both organic and traditional meats,such as chicken and pork,were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates.The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3fatty acids,a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease.However,these nutritional differences were too small,and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.
Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices,but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product.The U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that"whether you buy organic or not,finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste."Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.
12.The new research questions whether organic foodD.
A.should replace traditional food
B.has been overpriced by farmers
C.is grown with less harmful chemicals
D.is really more nutritious and healthier
13.Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found thatC.
A.organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease
B.traditional food was grown with more natural methods
C.both organic and traditional food they examined were safe
D.there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food
14.Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?B
A.Organic chicken and pork.
B.Organic milk and chicken.
C.Traditional chicken and pork.
D.Traditional fruit and vegetables.
15.What is the author's attitude toward organic food?A
A.Sceptical.B.Neutral.C.Unconcerned.D.Approving.

分析 本文為議論文由人們花很多錢去購買有機食品入題,提出有機食品真的比傳統(tǒng)食品更好嗎?然后引用專家的調查結果證實有機食品并未比傳統(tǒng)食品有更好的營養(yǎng)成分.

解答 DCBA
12:D 細節(jié)理解題 答案在第二段第二句,"we didn't find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier",本題定位在第二段第一句的"latest result",與題干"the new research"對應.本題應注意題干問的是"新的調查質疑有機食品…",故答案為D
13:C 細節(jié)理解題 第四段詳細對比了有機食品和傳統(tǒng)食品在各方面的情況,得出結論兩種食品只有細微差別,并沒有哪一種比另一種營養(yǎng)成分更多.注意選項A 以偏概全了.故答案為C
14:B 細節(jié)理解題 文章第四段第四句"The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 acids,a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease."可知有機奶和有機雞肉更健康,故答案為B
15:A 推理判斷題 作者在第一段提出人們不值得花過多的錢去買有機食品,以及最后一段引用USDA 美國農業(yè)部的觀點"whether you buy organic food or not,finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste"以及最后一句可看出作者是質疑的態(tài)度,故答案為A

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據文章所述事件的邏輯關系,對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷;或根據作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準確把握作者觀點.

9.You may know the English letters A,B and C.But do you know there are people called ABC?You may like eating bananas.But did you know there is such thing as a"banana person"?How strange!Are these people from"another earth"?No.They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born Chinese.An ABC is a Chinese,but was born in the United States.Sometimes,people call an ABC a"banana person".A banana is yellow outside and white inside.So,when a person is a banana,he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why?Usually,ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language.Some of them don't speak Chinese.Also,they are not interested in Chinese politics.
But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese,can we still call them Chinese people?Yes,of course.They are Chinese.They are overseas (海外的) Chinese.These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US,Canada or Singapore.But they have Chinese blood.Their parents,grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China.They all have black eyes and black hair.But they are not Chinese citizens.They are not people of the People's Republic of China.For example,we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang (楊振寧).He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957.Chinese people love him.But he is an American citizen.

A.three English letters            B.a kind of banana

16.Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem,if you're unsatisfied,the issue is not a lack of means(方式) to meet your desires but a lack of desires-not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力) to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹沒) with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much.They live in too big a house with too many rooms,yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅),a royal palace.Every new taste,every additional interest,every fresh enthusiasm(熱心,熱情) adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them,they would make you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,for a rich person is not someone who has a library but someone who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk,you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life.No matter who you are,you would be more human,and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days,if you could,and did,played a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

29.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies thatB.
A.though materially rich,they never seem to be satisfied
B.though materially rich,they remain spiritually poor
C.though their house is big,they prefer a simple life
D.though their house is big,it seems to be a cage
30.It can be learned from the passage thatC.
A.more money brings more happiness
B.art is needed to make your house beautiful
C.literature can enrich your spiritual life
D.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
31.What would be the best title for the passage?D
A.Interest and Enthusiasm
B.Secret of Wealth
C.Rest and Refreshment  
D.House of Life.

13.To help yourself with success,think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small,manageable steps-like adding a salad to your diet once a day-rather than one big change(16)EPrepare more of your own meals.Cooking more meals at home can help you well control what you're eating and better watch and check exactly what goes into your food.
Make the right changes.When reducing unhealthy foods in your diet,it's important to use healthy foods.Using healthy fats instead of dangerous trans fats(反式脂肪酸)will make a positive difference to your health.(17)GFor example,it's not wise to use fried food instead of bread.
(18)BInstead of overly thinking of counting calories(卡路里),choose your diet in terms of color,variety,and freshness.Try to avoid packaged and processed(加工的) foods and choose more fresh items.
Focus on how you feel after eating. This will help develop healthy new habits and tastes.(19)CThe more junk food you eat,the more likely you are to feel uncomfortable or less energetic to do something.
Drink plenty of water.Water helps clean our systems of waste products and toxins(毒素).(20)AThat easily causes tiredness,low energy,and headaches.It's common to mistake lack of water for hunger,so drinking ple nty of water will also help you make healthier food choices.

A.Yet many people go through life without drinking enough amount of water.
B.Make your diet simple.
C.The more healthy food you eat,the better you'll feel after a meal.
D.At least 8 cups of water are needed for a person every day.
E.As your small changes become habit,you can continue to add more healthy choices.
F.And you won't get sick at all.
G.However,improper changes won't lower your danger for heart disease or improve your mood.
