【解析】

1. 考察单词拼写。结合上下文,该空前面是说早餐长久以来被认为是一天中最重要的一餐,而后文中却指出,近日研究发现,早餐对于零食以及每餐的量的影响很小。所以该空是一个表示转折的词,由于给出了首字母C和后面的单词to,可以推断出应填contrary。

2. 。固定短语have an impact on意思为…对…有影响。该句意思为:研究表明,一天的第一餐对于那天后来的零食以及之后的每餐的量有着很小的影响。

3. 考察单词拼写。Belief表示信念。前面有定冠词the所以这个信念是名词。该句意思为:早餐是一天中最重要的一顿的信念传播的如此之广,以至于很多人知道了这是缺乏科学根据的时候感到很吃惊。故填belief

4. 考察固定结构。固定结构so…that意思为:太…以至于…。该句意思为:早餐是一天中最重要的一顿的信念传播的如此之广,以至于很多人知道了这是缺乏科学根据的时候感到很吃惊。

5. /indicating 考察现在分词做状语。showing /indicating都有表明的意思。这是一个长句。Learn后面的that引导的是一个宾语从句,indicating或者showing在句子中是状语的成分,修饰evidence。因为证据表明某事物是主动的,所以用现在分词。故填showing /indicating。

6. is +n/adj+that。 it一般是做形式主语,that后面的才是真正的主语。该句意思为:那些有规律的吃早餐的人更苗条和健康一点,这当然是真的。

7. 考察单词拼写。Individual意思是个人。因为前面有复数含义的these,所以individual后面要加S表示很多个体。故填individuals

8.形容词,修饰后面的diet,意思为均衡的饮食。根据所给的首字母B以及前文中:那些有规律的吃早餐的人更苗条和健康一点的提示,可以猜到所填词为balanced

9. 考察单词拼写。Publish是出版的意思。根据句意,在这个月出版的另一项研究中…,我们可以知道只有研究成果发布了,才能被看到,所以那项研究的出版是过去的事情,故采用过去分词的形式,将publish后面加上ed。

10. divided考察固定短语。固定短语Divide into意思为把…分成…。结合句意:伯明翰的研究者们把志愿者分成了三个小组。该段的时态都是一般过去式,根据后面的into以及所给首字母d可以判断这里应该填divided。

考点:考察单词拼写、固定短语等。

When Kate’s paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon (丝带)around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kate had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.

Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kate suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱) became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kate taught herself to paint.

In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influences on Kate’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.

Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kate’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.

1.What does the underlined phrase “a much bigger name” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?

C. A much stronger person.

D. A much more famous person.

In recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you—regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard. “There is a direct relationship,” US Congressman Neal Smith said, “between the amount of sodium(钠) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循环的) disorders, stroke and even early death.”

Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive(高血压的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced.

“An adequate to somewhat excessive(过度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population,” said Dr. John H Laragh. “So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”

Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation”(节制) in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.

“Na is not your enemy,” says Comek’s Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”

1.Why is salt attacked by doctors and politicians?

A. It’s unnecessary.

B. It does no good to human health..

C. It is hated by most people.

D. It will surely lead to heart disease and circulatory disorders.

2.From Dr. Dustan’s study in Paragraph 2 we can infer that _____.

A.a low-salt diet may be good to some patients

B.the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressure

C.the reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patient

D.an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone

3.In the 3rd paragraph, Dr. Laragh implied that _____.

A.people should not be afraid of taking much excessive salt

B.doctors should not always advise people to avoid salt

C.an adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to ill people

D.excessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population

4.What is the experts’ advice for average people on salt consumption?

A.They should increase salt intake through sodium pills.

B.They should avoid salt as often as possible.

C.They should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons of salt a day.

D.They needn’t care about how much salt they consume.
