1、2014年教材電子版 B級 閱讀理解部分 第17-33篇 17 Eating Potatoes Gives Your Immune System a Boost Eating potatoes is not only good for bowel health，but also for the whole immune system， especially when they come in the form of a potato salad or eaten cold. In a study on an animal model，researchers in Spain found

2、 that pigs fed large quantities of raw potato starch (RPS)1 not only had a healthier bowel, but also decreased levels of white blood cells, such as leucocytes and lymphocytes in their blood. White blood cells are produced as a result of inflammation or disease， generally when the body is challenged.

3、 The general down-regulation of leucocytes observed by the Spanish researchers suggests an overall beneficial effect, a generally more healthy body.2 The reduction in leucocyte levels was about 15 percent. Lower lymphocyte levels are also indicative of reduced levels of inflammation ’ but the obser

4、ved reduction in both lymphocyte density and lymphocyte apoptosis is surprising. In what was the longest study of its kind，pigs were fed RPS over 14 weeks to find out the effect of starch on bowel health. "The use of raw potato starch in this experiment is designed to simulate the effects of a diet

5、 high in resistant starch, ” said study leader Jose Francisco Perez at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona3，Spain. Humans do not eat raw potatoes，but they do eat a lot of foods that contain resistant starch， such as cold boiled potatoes，legumes，grains，green bananas，pasta and cereals. About 10 per

6、cent of the starch eaten by human is resistant starch 一 starch that is not digested in the small intestine and so is shunted into the large intestine where it ferments. Starch consumption is thought to reduce the risk of large bowel cancer and may also have an effect on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS

7、)4. Immunology expert Lena Ohmans team previously found that the overall lymphocyte levels do not vary for IBS patients, but that lymphocytes are transferred from the peripheral blood to the gut, which support the hypothesis of IBS being at least partially an inflammatory disorder. She says the dec

8、rease in lymphocytes observed by the Spanish is therefore interesting, and a diet of resistant starch may be worth trying in IBS patients. Ohman is currently at the Department of Internal Medicine, Goteborg University, Sweden5. The study is published in the journal Chemistry and Industry, the magazi

20、hey would do brisk exercise for 30 minutes just three times a week, according to new medical research results reported in the Copenhagen newspaper Berlingske Tidende on Monday. Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalets Center for Muscle Research sho

21、wed that physical exercise can boost the bodys ability to utilise insulin by 30 per cent, the newspaper reported. This is equal to1 the effect most elderly diabetics get from their insulin medication today，it said. Researchers had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type n, all

22、 more than 60 years of age, exercise on bicycles six times a week for three months. After the three months the doctors measured how much sugar the test subjects muscles could utilise as a measure for how well their insulin worked.2 Associate Professor3 Dr. Flemming Dela of the Muscle Research Cent

23、er said the tests demonstrated that the exercising diabetics had just as high insulin utilisation as the healthy non?exercising persons. "This means that the insulin works just as well for both groups. Physical exercise cannot cure people of diabetes,4 but it can eliminate almost all their symptoms

24、. At the same time it can put off5 the point at which they have to begin taking insulin or perhaps completely avoid insulin treatment，” Dela was quoted as saying.6 Insulin isa hormone produced by the pancreas，controlling sugar in the body and used against diabetes. Dela said that to achieve the de

25、sired effect diabetics need only exercise to the point where they begin to work up7 a sweat, but that the activity has to be maintained since it wears off6 after five days without sufficient exercise. Most diabetics realise that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importanc

33、as well understood as C less understood than D better understood than 1. C文章一開始就有此問題的明確答案。至于吃多少鹽或者從事其他劇烈運(yùn)動文章自始至 終都沒有提到。 2. B文章第二段說到，體育鍛煉能將身體利用胰島素的能力提高30%。~ 3. D此題答案在文章第四段，實(shí)驗(yàn)對象既有n型糖尿病患者，也有健康人，而且都是60歲以 上的男人。 4. A文章倒數(shù)第二段說到，體育鍛煉只要達(dá)到出汗的程度就能起作用。 5. C最后一段明確說到，大

34、多數(shù)糖尿病患者知道必須注意飲食，但卻并不知道體育鍛煉的重要性。 19 Prolonging Human Life 　　Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any

35、given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion. 　　Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of socie

36、ty to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most

37、 contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people w

38、ere able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or p

39、rivate or government insurance, they must often "go on welfare" if they have a serious illness. 　　When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home

40、until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some ar

41、e sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions arc good, most of them are simply "dumping grounds" for the dying in which "care" is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel. 　 詞匯： 　　dependency n.依賴性 　　contemporary α.現(xiàn)代的 　　obligation n

42、. 義務(wù) 　　insurance n. 保險(xiǎn) 　　welfare n.福利 　　senile αdj. 衰老的 　　grave αdj. 嚴(yán)肅的 　　convalescent αdj.康復(fù)的 　　sponsor v. 發(fā)起，資助 　　institution n. 機(jī)構(gòu) 　　注釋: 　　1. Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population:延長人類生命的結(jié)果使得人口的數(shù)量有了增加。句中的 prolonging human life是動名詞短語。由動名詞短語作句子的主語時(shí)，句中動詞必須用單數(shù)

43、形式。如 : Collecting stamps is his hobby. 　　2. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago: 如果今天活著的很多人生于一百年以前，他們會死于各種兒童疾病。 　　3. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time :因?yàn)橛懈嗟娜藟勖L，所以在任何一個(gè)特定的時(shí)間里的人也就更多。 　　

44、4. the dependency load: 撫養(yǎng)人口數(shù)量。 　　5. In times of famine: 在饑荒年代 　　6. go on welfare : 靠福利救濟(jì) 　　go on 有許多意思，其中的一個(gè)意思是"依靠……過活"。例: 　　Many people go on welfare when jobs become scarce. 　　(工作難找時(shí)，許多人靠政府救濟(jì)金過日子。) 　　7. grave problems: 嚴(yán)重的問題8. convalescent hospitals: 康復(fù)醫(yī)院;療養(yǎng)院 　　9. profit-making organizatio

45、ns: 贏利機(jī)構(gòu)　10. dumping grounds: 垃圾場 　　練習(xí): 　　1. The writer believes that the population explosion results from 　　A an increase in birthrates. 　　B the industrial development. 　　C a decrease in death rates. 　　D cultural advances. 　　2. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gatheri

46、ng cultures 　　A it was a moral responsibility to keep old-aged people alive. 　　B infants could be left dead in times of starvation. 　　C parents had to impart the cultural wisdom of the tribe to their children. 　　D death was considered to be freedom from hardships. 3. According to the passage, w

47、hich of the following statements about retired people in the United States is true? 　　A Many of them have a very hard life. 　　B They cannot live a decent life without enough bank savings. 　　C They rely mainly on their children for financial support. 　　D Most of them live with their children and

48、therefore are well looked after. 　　4. In Paragraph 3, the phrase "this need" refers to 　　A the need to prolong the lives of old people. 　　B the need to enrich the life of the retired people. 　　C the need to build profit-making nursing homes. 　　D the need to take care of a sick and weak person.

49、 　　5. Which of the following best describes the writers attitude toward most of the nursing homes, and convalescent hospitals? 　　A Sympathetic. 　　B Unfriendly. 　　C Optimistic. 　　D Critical.批評 1. C 第一段最后一句說： In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to

50、 the population explosion. 事實(shí)上，是由于死亡率的下降，而不是出生率的上升，導(dǎo)數(shù)了人口爆炸。 2. B 第二段第四句說： In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. 在災(zāi)年，可能會容忍嬰兒死亡，因?yàn)?，如果他們的父母餓死了，他們也無法生存，而如果父母生存下來可重新生兒育女。

51、因此，選項(xiàng) B是正確的答案。 3. A 第二段倒數(shù)第二句是這么說的：In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. （在美國，許多退休人員依靠社會保障金生活，其數(shù)額之小差不多使人窮困潦倒。）可以看出，在美國許多退休人員的生活是很艱難的。這正是選項(xiàng)A表達(dá)的意思，因而選項(xiàng)A是正確的答案。 4. D 第三段第三句：Today, with most members of a househol

52、d working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. （當(dāng)今，由于家庭中大多數(shù)人都出去工作或上學(xué)，家里常常沒有人來照顧有病或虛弱的人。）"this need" 出現(xiàn)在下面這個(gè)短語中："To meet this need"（為了滿足這種需要），它指句子前面的care for a sick or weak person。這正是選項(xiàng)D表達(dá)的意思。 5. D文章昀后一句說 : … most of them are simply "dumping grounds" fo

53、r the dying in which "care" is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.大多數(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)只不過是傾倒垂死的人的"垃飯場"，所謂的"照顧"都是由收入低、超量工作、技術(shù)水平低下的人員提供的。作者如此措辭顯然是對大多數(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)的強(qiáng)烈批評。因此，選項(xiàng) D是正確答案。 20 FDA: Human, Animal Waste Threatens Produce The biggest food safety risk for fresh fruits and vegetables as they

54、are grown, picked or processed comes from human and animal waste, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration （FDA）.said Friday.　　 More than 9, 000 Americans die each year from food-borne diseases and some scientists believe fresh produce is the biggest carrier of contamination.　　The FDA issued a set of

55、 draft guidelines for U. S. and foreign growers to carefully monitor worker hygiene, water quality, manure management and transportation. 　　These 34-page draft guidelines urged growers to give workers lessons on basic hygiene such as using soap to wash their hands, covering wounds that could come i

56、nto contact with produce, and using only clean toilets. 　　The FDA guidelines identified “the major source of contamination ”for fresh produce as human or animal feces.　　“We think just proper controls and proper attention to detail would make a big difference in food safety,” said and FDA official,

57、“It is our belief that these guidelines would not be very costly.” 　　But grower groups disagreed with the FDAs assessment. “Most food-borne disease outbreaks that happen further down the distribution line are due to contamination because people preparing food are not properly washing their hands, ”

58、said Stacey Zawal, an official with United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association. “That is not necessarily true for growers and packers.” 　　Some U. S. grower organizations have expressed concern that the agency is interfering with on-farm practices. Others object to the FDAs proposal to have grower

59、s formally document the picking, handling and transportation of produce so that health officials could quickly recall foods if necessary. 　　Consumer groups criticized the FDA guidelines as of little use because they will not carry the force of law. But stricter regulations could evolve as researche

60、rs find new technology or methods to kill harmful bacteria or parasites, the FDA said. 　　The FDA recommendations are due to be made final by the FDA later this year for use by U.S. and foreign growers. The matter of encouraging foreign growers to adopt the guidelines remains somewhat tricky but FDA

61、 officials say it is vital because of the huge amount of imported produce. 1. “Food-borne diseases” in this essay means those diseases 　　A. which people get by eating fruits which have been polluted 　　B. which people get by eating too many kinds of food. 　　C. which many kinds of fruit get when p

62、olluted by feces. 　　D. which fruit-growers get by their failure to keep themselves clean. 2. Some fruit grower groups believe that most food-borne diseases are caused by 　　A. growers lack of attention to personal hygiene. 　　B. lack of effective guidelines. 　　C. the FDAs decision to import more

63、foreign fruits and vegetables. 　　D. people involved in distributing fresh produce. 3. An FDA official said that putting the guidelines into practice 　　A. would be too costly to be effective. 　　B. would not cost any money. 　　C. would not be very expensive. 　　D. would needs lots of money. 4. C

64、onsumer groups criticized the FDA guidelines because they didnt think that these guidelines 　　A. had won enough support from the farmers. 　　B. had been written with strict regulations. 　　C. would surely be carried out. 　D. included new technology. 5. The last paragraph suggests that

65、 　　A. some tricks need to be adopted to encourage foreign growers to follow the FDA guidelines. 　　B. a good way should be found to encourage foreign growers to follow the FDA guidelines. 　　C. foreign growers consider the guidelines to be of great importance to them. 　　D. it is almost impossible to ask foreign farmers to follow the guidelines. 1) which people get by eating fruits which have been polluted 2) people involved in distributing fresh produce. 3) would not be very expensive. 4) would surely be carried out. 5) a good way should
