Question

【題目】 Here are my favorite tips for staying physically, mentally and emotionally healthy during the winter months. Vacation not included. 【1】

Raise your vitamin D levels naturally (without pills or sunlight). We’ve all heard about the marvels of vitamin D: heart health, skin health, immune health, mental health… But you don’t need to take pills or risk skin cancer to get high vitamin D levels. The big secret is that vitamin D levels are associated with healthy lifestyle changes. For example, if you lose just 5 percent or more of your body weight, your vitamin D blood levels will shoot up. Vitamin D likes to stay in fatty tissue, so when you lose fat, the vitamin D levels in your blood go up. 【2】. And when you eat your wild salmon, bake it rather than fry it. Other good food sources are trout, mushrooms and egg yolks, and my favorite, plain Greek yogurt.

【3】 Winter can be a tough time for many of us. All that darkness can take its toll on our mental health. The winter months can be very isolating for many people. My suggestion is that you and a close friend sign up for yoga, cooking or sewing class. 【4】

Eat more plants—the ones that are sources of omega-3 fatty acids. According to the famous Harvard Nurses’ Health Study, there was no relation between depression and intake of omega-3 fatty acids from fish, 【5】. And again, the wintertime is when many people have a higher risk of depression.

A.Take a class with a friends

B.but they did find a reduced risk of depression in those with moderate intake of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids

C.Isolate yourself during wintertime

D.The following three simple suggestions are things that anyone can do easily and inexpensively to stave off the winter blues and sniffles (鼻塞).

E.Not only do these kinds of classes improve your mental and physical fitness, but they help to fill that social craving (渴望) that we have as human beings, too

F.and there was no evidence to show the benefit of plants

G.Other ways to increase vitamin D naturally are to lower your cholesterol (膽固醇) exercise and eat more fatty fish, such as wild salmon

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。文章主要給出了趕走冬季抑郁、保持身心健康的建議。

【1】

空前提到“這兒有一些我最喜歡的冬天在身體上，精神上和情感上保持健康的小建議�！�，D項(xiàng)中的“suggestions”與上文中的“tips”呼應(yīng)，且D項(xiàng)“下面是三個(gè)任何人都能很容易，并便宜地做到的事情，來(lái)避開(kāi)冬季抑郁和鼻塞”承上啟下，符合語(yǔ)境。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】

本段的主題句是“Raise your vitamin D levels naturally(自然地提高維生素D含量)”，空前提到“增加維生素D含量的秘密在于健康生活方式的改變”，G項(xiàng)“其他自然增加維生素D的方法是降低膽固醇，鍛煉和多吃富含脂肪的魚(yú)類(lèi)，比如野生鮭魚(yú)”承接上文，且與主題句一致。故選G項(xiàng)。

【3】

本空位于段首，是段落主題句。根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容尤其是“My suggestion is that you and a close friend sign up for yoga, cooking or sewing class.(我的建議是你和一個(gè)好朋友報(bào)名瑜伽，烹飪或者縫紉課)”可知，A項(xiàng)“和朋友去上課”切題。故選A項(xiàng)。

【4】

空前提到“我的建議是你和一個(gè)好朋友報(bào)名瑜伽，烹飪或者縫紉課”，E項(xiàng)“這些種類(lèi)的課程不僅能提高你精神和身體健康，它們也能幫助滿足我們作為人類(lèi)的社交渴望”是講述前文提到的課程的好處，符合語(yǔ)境，且E項(xiàng)中“these kinds of classes”與空前一句中的“yoga, cooking or sewing class”呼應(yīng)。故選E項(xiàng)。

【5】

本段主題句是“Eat more plants—the ones that are sources of omega-3 fatty acids.(多吃蔬菜——是ω-3脂肪酸的來(lái)源的那些蔬菜)”，B項(xiàng)“但是他們確實(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)攝入適量的植物性ω-3脂肪酸能降低抑郁風(fēng)險(xiǎn)”是說(shuō)ω-3脂肪酸的好處，與主題句一致，且與空前的分句“抑郁和來(lái)自魚(yú)類(lèi)的ω-3脂肪酸之間沒(méi)有聯(lián)系”是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故選B項(xiàng)。
