Question

【题目】Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized countries.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 human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses.【2】They are called“diseases of civilization”．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.

The 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 today.

Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic (驯养的) 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 and we eat more sugar as well. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein (蛋白质) and much less vitamin C.

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

A. Stone Age people lived a simple life without any meat.

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

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

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”．

【4】B

【5】F

【解析】试题分析:

【1】C 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：他们说我们应该多吃生活在10000年前的人们所吃的那种食物。这里选C（那样的话，他们可能会更加健康。）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;我们的身体不能应对这些生活方式的改变，这已经带来新的疾病。空后的意思是：因此这些病被叫作“文明病”。所以这里选E（这些新的病在古代是不被人们知道的。）与上下文一致。

【3】D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思：科学家注意到古石器时代和新石器时代的人们只喝很少的酒，抽很少的烟，或者从不喝酒从不抽烟。空后的意思是：然而，食物的变化是古代和现在生活的最大不同之一。所以这里选D(古代的人们也有很多的身体锻炼。）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：他们不喝牛奶或吃其他的乳制品，他们也很少吃谷物。所以这里选B（但是今天，我们吃很多这些东西。）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：但是科学家说我们可能会更健康如果我们像古人吃的食物那样。所以这里选F（我们现在可能并不想像祖先那样生活。）与上下文一致。
