【题目】 We know that too much of the wrong kind of food can be bad for our health, but for some people having a food allergy, eating certain things can actually be harmful. Now it is seemingly affecting more and more of us.
An allergy is caused by the immune system fighting substances in the environment, known as allergens, that it should see as harmless. 【1】It means people have to spend their lives following strict dietary restrictions and worrying about the ingredients of everything they consume. We often hear about people having allergies to dairy products and to peanuts. Last year a teenager died after suffering a fatal allergic reaction from eating a baguette containing sesame seeds. 【2】
Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting children. 【3】 Dr Alexandra Santos from King’s College London says food allergy now affects about 7 percent of children in the UK, and 9 percent of those in Australia.
【4】 Dr Santos says, the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them. 【5】 She adds that possible factors are pollution, dietary changes and less exposure to bacteria, which change how our immune systems respond.
A.So what might be the cause?
B.It seems to be more environmental.
C.Similarly, food allergic reaction is deadly.
D.This led to a call for better food-labeling laws.
E.Besides, more adults are suffering from food allergies.
F.However, food allergies can cause life-threatening reactions.
G.More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain foodstuffs.
【答案】
【1】F
【2】D
【3】G
【4】A
【5】B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。对于有些人来说,食物过敏严重影响身体健康,甚至导致死亡。越来越多的人食物过敏,除了社会因素之外,环境问题干系更大。
【1】
上一句说过敏反应是由于免疫系统对抗环境中的物质及过敏原引起,这些物质应该是免疫系统视为无害的。这一句是对上一句的补充说明和修正:食物过敏可能会引起威胁生命的反应。故选F。
【2】
上一句说去年有一个少年因食用含有芝麻的长棍面包而引发过敏致死,合理逻辑推理,这一事件会导致人们呼吁立法推进优化食品标签。故选D。
【3】
这句话在段中承上启下。前一句说研究发现过敏问题尤其对孩童影响很大。很面一据用数据说明在英国和澳大利亚患过敏症的孩童的百分比,关键词是allergy和children,中间这据说越来越多的孩童对某些食物过敏,把前后句衔接了起来,故选G。
【4】
段首句为这段的中心句。后文Dr Santos谈到引起过敏症的原因,此处用一个问句引出后文。故选A。
【5】
上一句说过敏症的增加不仅是社会意识增强和诊疗更先进的结果,此句承上说明引起过敏症的更重要原因。故选B。
七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文关键词汇来锁定线索。即:要关注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同根词等。其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中,第1小题中的“allergy”、“life-threatening”,第2小题中的“this”,第3小题中的“them”、“allergic”,第4小题中的“cause”,均与上下文有相呼应的词语。

【题目】 Maybe you pop vitamins supporting brainpower, or stock upon these foods that boost brain health. But new guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology suggest there's something better you can do to keep your mind sharp.
A quarter of adults aged 80 to 84 experience mild cognitive (认知的) impairment, according to AAN. To address the widespread problem, a group of neurologists and Alzheimer's (阿尔兹海默氏症的) specialists went through existing studies to define the best ways to prevent and treat cognitive decline-and you might be surprised by what they included and what they didn't.
Surprisingly, the AAN guidelines don't include any medication (药物) or dietary recommendations. The authors stress that there haven't been any high-quality, long-term studies finding foods or medication can help cognitive decline. The guidelines also say doctors can consider suggesting cognitive training to patients with memory loss but not to rely on it. So far, the report's authors say the evidence is too inconclusive to say for sure if brain exercises, like memory and attention training or problem solving for everyday issues associated with memory loss, are beneficial. Still, these morning brain exercises can't do any harm.
But there was one big discovery from the new guidelines: Exercising just twice a week could improve cognitive decline. One study showed adults with mild cognitive impairment who did resistance training twice a week scored better on executive function and associative (联想的) memory tests than a group that worked on balancing, stretching, and relaxing.
What's more, another study had older adults attend either biweekly health classes or sessions of aerobics, strength training, balance exercises, and multitasking training. Six months later, the ones who'd exercised regularly scored better on cognitive health and memory tests, plus had less brain shrinkage.
AAN now recommends doctors tell patients with memory loss to exercise twice a week to keep their minds sharp. This is the best time to exercise if you want to improve your memory. It looks like you've got just one more reason to clear time in your schedule for a workout — even if it's only on the weekends.
【1】What does the underlined word 'impairment' in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Error.B.Decline.C.Development.D.Presence.
【2】AAN may be uncertain about .
A.strength trainingB.resistance training
C.exercises twice a weekD.brain exercise
【3】Which of the following may the author agree with?
A.Daily exercises are beneficial to Alzheimer.
B.The AAN guidelines attach importance to workout.
C.Medication is of significance in the AAN guidelines.
D.Stocking up on vitamins supporting brainpower means nothing.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Exercise.B.Entertainment.C.ScienceD.Health

【题目】 The $380,000 aircraft, called the "Speeder", will be able to reach at least 150 miles per hour and have a 45-mile range and fly as high as 15,000 feet when it is on sale next year, according to David Mayman, CEO of JetPack Aviation, one of the companies that create and sell flying vehicles. This motorcycle can take off vertically (垂直地) from the grassland or a street and land on the other side of the city in a similar position. This idea has always been treated like science fiction.
At some point, the Speeder could be adapted to use electric energy, which is more environmentally friendly, but for now, Mayman said, no battery cells come close to the speed and potential power created by jet engines. Besides, like other developing similar craft, currently the Speeder will only be used for recreation and sport until laws and regulations begin to change in America.
Mayman argued that there was a large role for the Speeder to play in both civilian and military life. He said his company has been working for several years to develop a jet pack that could be used by Special Forces soldiers. As their cost continued to increase, he said, engineers began designing a personal aircraft that eventually turned into the Speeder.
Mayman said that the aircraft could be used to transport heavy loads or move soldiers on and off the battlefield, especially in areas too dangerous for helicopters. Unlike other flying vehicles, the craft is small enough to sit on the back of a boat or can be easily delivered by a common fighting vehicle.
【1】What can we infer about the Speeder according to paragraph 1? ______
A.It can fly 150 miles without stop.
B.It is created by several companies.
C.It has already appeared in markets.
D.It can land on a school playground.
【2】What limits the use of the Speeder at present? ______
A.The financial crisis.
B.The government policy.
C.The bad environment.
D.The technology development.
【3】What was the Speeder first intended for? ______
A.Sports games.
B.Military force.
C.Electrical engineering.
D.Public transportation.
【4】What advantage does the Speeder have when compared to other flying vehicles? ______
A.Its high speed to move heavy loads.
B.Its potential to use electric energy.
C.Its ability to replace helicopters.
D.Its small size that makes it convenient.
