Question

【題目】People are interested in eating raw foods or whole foods partly because eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation（酸堆積）in our body.

Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and processed foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes（酶）that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both cases, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat.

Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite system that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls（血管壁）and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism（新陳代謝）becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.

To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will balance the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore our enzyme balance. We need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If we truly want to change and help our body heal itself, we need to take an active approach.

【1】We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that __________.

B. cooked and processed foods are healthier

C. foods with natural enzymes help us keep fit

D. absorbing many nutrients is beneficial to our health

【2】Processed foods will probably __________.

A. stop body’s metabolism B. be difficult to digest

C. destroy body’s cells D. lead to obesity

【3】The underlined word “ vicious ” in the last paragraph probably means __________.

A. harmful B. violent

C. progressive D. positive

【4】To change and help our body heal itself, we need to __________.

A. consume enough acid foods

B. identify enzyme production

C. avoid restoring our enzyme balance

D. eat the right types of raw and whole foods

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】試題分析：本文屬于健康類短文說(shuō)明文，主要講述了raw and whole foods的好處及這種食物對(duì)身體有好處的原因，同時(shí)還敘述了processed foods對(duì)人體的害處。為了健康，倡議人們多吃raw and whole foods。

【1】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第三句These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food .可知食物中的酶可以幫助我們消化食物。再根據(jù)第四句. When we consume food without these natural enzymes , our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream .可知沒有仔細(xì)酶的食物會(huì)讓我們的身體消化不良，最后導(dǎo)致肥胖。也就是說(shuō)酶可以幫助我保持健康。故C正確。

【2】D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段四、五句When we consume food without these natural enzymes , our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream . In both cases , the result is obesity .可知失去酶的processed foods會(huì)讓我們消化不良或營(yíng)養(yǎng)堆積在血管中，最后導(dǎo)致肥胖。過D正確。

【3】A 猜測(cè)詞意題。在文章第三段中作者詳細(xì)敘述了processed foods對(duì)人類時(shí)態(tài)帶來(lái)的危害。再根據(jù)本句To stop thisviciouscircle in its tracks , people need to consume food and supplements that will balance the acid already accumulated in body .可知該詞應(yīng)該表示負(fù)面的含義，B項(xiàng)意為“暴力的”，與文章意義不搭配。A項(xiàng)“有害的”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【4】D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help .可知要想保持健康，要合適的raw and whole foods可以有很大的幫助。故D正確。
