Eating a diet high in processed（經(jīng)過加工的） food increases the risk of depression（抑郁）, research suggests. What's more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found.
Data on diet among 3,500 middle-aged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later, a British journal reported. They split the participants（參與者） into two types of diet--those who ate a diet largely based on whole food，which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish，and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat，refined（精制的） grains and high fat dairy products After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic(慢性的) diseases, they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets.
Those who ate the most wholefood（全天然食物） had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood. By contrast, people with a diet high in processed food had a 58％ higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed foods.
Study author Dr. Archana Singh Manoux pointed out there was a chance that the finding could be explained by lifestyle factor they had not accounted for.（解釋原因） He also pointed in a paper that a Mediterranean(地中海) diet was associated（有關(guān)） with a lower risk of depression, but the problem with that is if you live in Britain, the likelihood （可能）of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.
Dr．Andrew McCulloeh, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, this study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health.
He added people's diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy. The UK population is consuming （消費）less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated（飽和） fats and sugars.
小題1:The text is mainly about______.
A．the increasingly unhealthy diet of the UK population
B．the link between processed food and depression
C．the relationship between physical and mental health
D．the emotional state of the British People
小題2:What can we learn from what Dr. Archana Singh Manoux said?
A．It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean diet.
B．The Mediterranean diet is the most healthy in the world.
C．Many studies have been done on the Mediterranean diet before.
D．The Mediterranean diet is not good for depression.
小題3:Dr. Andrew McCulloch agrees that______.
A．our diets are closely related to our mental health
B．the present study needs more facts and other information
C．the UK population will become ill in the near future
D．more saturated fats and sugars should be taken in
小題4:Why might the author have written this text?
A．To tell people what a healthy diet actually is.
B．To prove people’s diets are increasingly unhealthy.
C．To encourage people to cut down on processed food.
D．To introduce some experts on the research team.

試題分析：這篇文章通過研究表明使用經(jīng)過高加工的食物能增加患抑郁癥的風險，我們的飲食與我們的精神健康也有密切的聯(lián)系。
小題1:細節(jié)題。由第一段第一句Eating a diet high in processed（經(jīng)過加工的） food increases the risk of depression（抑郁）, research suggests.研究表明，食用經(jīng)過高加工的食物會增加患抑郁癥的風險，后文詳細介紹了兩者之間的實驗對比及影響�？芍疚闹饕v的是加工食品和抑郁癥之間的關(guān)系。故選B
小題2:細節(jié)題。由第四段第二句He also pointed in a paper that a Mediterranean(地中海) diet was associated（有關(guān)） with a lower risk of depression, but the problem with that is if you live in Britain, the likelihood （可能）of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.
Dr. Archana Singh Manoux在論文中指出，患抑郁癥的風險較低和地中海的食物有關(guān)，但問題是，如果你居住在英國，你食用地中海食物的可能性不是非常高，故對大多數(shù)英國人來說，有地中海飲食是困難的。故選A。文中并未說明地中海食物是世界最健康的，沒有比較關(guān)系。
小題3:細節(jié)題。由第五段Dr．Andrew McCulloeh, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, this study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health. Dr．Andrew McCulloeh這項研究表明我們所吃的和我們的心理健康之間有著緊密的關(guān)系。故選A
小題4:主旨題。作者寫本文的目的是想鼓勵人們應(yīng)少食用高加工食品。文章整個圍繞加工食品會增加人們患抑郁癥的風險這個主題來行文，所以答案中必須提到加工食品的相關(guān)論點。故選C
點評：本文屬于科普類文體，對于此類文章的閱讀，由于出現(xiàn)的人物較多同時會有很多的生詞匯，對解題會存在一定的難度。建議在答題時，注意文章的第一段和每段的第一句話，往往就是主旨段或句，把握好文章說明的實質(zhì)內(nèi)容，對于細節(jié)題可以到文章中找相對應(yīng)的地方，對于主旨題需要包含文章主要說明的主題中的關(guān)鍵字，這樣才能有效的答題。

Writer and teacher Yin Jianli's stories and thoughts about bringing up her daughter
Yuanyuan have been a constant source of inspiration for parents over the past 16 years.
Her book,  A Good Mother Exceeds Good  Teachers,  published  by  Writers Publishing House, has been a bestseller on Dangdang and Amazon's online platforms
for the past three years.  The book helped Yin make the Chinese Writers' Rich List, with 4. 48 million yuan（＄710，000).
Experts say Yin's book provides practical guidance, which makes it popular among parents.
"When the majority of books are either full of bragging about（自吹自擂）the authors' children or outlining big theories that have no foundation in practice, I write books that are practical and easy to follow," Yin writes.
"For example, there was an occasion when Yuanyuan forgot to do her elementary school homework.  In such a situation many Chinese parents show their anger and scold their kids,”says Yin, who made an agreement with her husband they would not overly criticize or push their daughter.  Instead, Yin encouraged the daughter to make up the homework, which meant staying up until midnight.  As a result,  she learned to arrange her time better and did not have a harmful reaction to doing homework.  Yin's principle of "no parental interference（干涉），and "giving children the opportunity to learn from their mistakes" is described in a number of real-life examples.
Readers say Yin's books improve their children's performance at school,  and encourage them to develop good personalities and habits.  They believe her books are not only about being good parents but also about growing as parents and individuals.
"When I'm reading books，I keep thinking about what a better personality I would have if my parents had adopted the methods Yin suggests when I was a kid，＂one reader comments in a review on Yin's online blog.
小題1:The book“A Good Mother Exceeds Good Teachers" has been so popular because______.
A． it covers many inspiring thoughts about bringing up children
B． it outlines big theories from home and abroad
C． it provides practical guidance for parents
D． it sells at a great discount
小題2:We can learn from the text that Yin Jianli_______．
A． advocates learning from mistakes
B． makes a good living only by writing books
C． holds the view that saving your stick spoils your kid
D． believes successful education calls for joint efforts from school and family
小題3:It can be implied from the text that________.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic(塑料). People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life:
Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones.
After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again.
Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen(食堂), use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
小題1:Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?
A．Let their guests be convenient during their travelling.
B．Hope their guests use less disposable things.
C．Wish their guests to save money.

A．Many disposable things are made of plastic.
B．Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.

A．Use shopping bags made of plastic.
B．Do not throw away paper cups.

Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School?
Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect toward others．Should good sportsmanship, then, be taught in school? Critics do not think so．     1    Presented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship．
Teaching good sportsmanship and having a positive attitude in activities like sports, class elections, and science fair competitions are critical to success in school．    2     Acting calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life．
     3    A person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are．Knowing the rules also applies to other activities．If students enter a science fair competition, for example, they must follow the guidelines． Those who know the rules are much more likely to succeed．When students learn sportsmanship, they discover, how knowing the rules relates to achievement．
Good players become skilled at handling responsibility．When people accept responsibility, they achieve their best．Positive thinkers, moreover, influence others, especially those who are struggling with a problem．A gifted basketball player, for example, might teach skills to a less-talented player．Helping others raises the performance of the entire team．The team, consequently, could reach new heights and set new records．     4    Those who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility．For them, if an opportunity is lost, it is someone else' s fault．When students participate on a team, they benefit by learning to accept responsibility, encourage others and own up to（認錯） mistakes．
Sportsmanship is a winning idea．It must be taught in school．Students need direction to become good sports"．Students will be responsible for their own actions and will have a positive influence on others．As students enter the workforce, businesses benefit．The community also benefits because these students will someday become leaders．     5

What will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago , was shorter than he is today. Now, on average,  men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’ s capacity(容量). As time goes on , however , we shall have to use our brains more and more,  and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact , we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’ s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however , our fingers will grow more sensitive（敏感的） because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. …
小題1:The passage mainly tells us that _______.
A．man’s life will be different in the future.
B．future man will look quite different from us.
C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.
D．human’s organs’ functions will become weak “
小題2:The change in man’s size of forehead will probably be because ___________.
A．he makes use onIy20% of the brain’s capacity.
B．his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.
C．the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
D．he will use his brain more and more as time goes on :
小題3:What will be true about a human being in the future?
A．He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B．He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.
C．His fingers will grow weaker because he won’t have to make use of them.
D．He will think and feel in a different way.
小題4:It is implied that ________.
A．human beings will become less attractive in the future
B．less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration(退化,)
C．human beings hope for a change in the future life
D．future life is always predictable

How would you like to learn more without having to study more？Here’s how：
1．Get to bed and go to sleep.Your performance，attention，and the ability to concentrate are damaged by lack of sleep.Teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep a night for best performance.
2．Feed your head.The brain runs badly if it doesn’t get enough fuel.That means protein(蛋白質(zhì))and complex carbs (復合碳水化合物)－eggs and wheat bread for breakfast，say，rather than sugary cereal(含糖的麥片粥)and orange juice.The biggest mistake teens make is not to have breakfast or to go for sugar，which raises blood sugar levels.
3．Body exercise is brain exercise.Body exercise really improves brain performance，perhaps because it increases blood flow，or perhaps because it reduces stress and anxiety(焦慮).Twenty minutes of activity a day that raises your heart rate will do great good.
4．Learn now what you want to remember for the rest of your life.Teenage brains are much better at remembering things than the brains  of young children or adults.Scientists aren’t sure why.Whatever the reason，the teenage years are the time to learn new languages and master other lifelong skills.
5．Learn the power of risk taking.Adults are always worried about the downside of teenage risk?taking，and it’s true that teenagers are more likely than adults to get themselves in trouble by drinking and driving.But the fact that the parts of the brain that drive people to try new，risky，and exciting things appear to be more developed in teenagers can be a huge advantage.Pick certain challenges－difficult sports，a hard job，mastering a performance art，traveling overseas－and the teenage brain is able to deal with them.They have this power they’re given to go out and do it without fear.
6．Learn what you love.Because emotional(情感的)systems develop fast in teenager brains，teenagers learn things they’re interested in quickly and well.Their brains give them tools like attention on the project.
小題1:According to the passage，teenagers should have　　　　for breakfast.
A．wheat bread and eggsB．sugar and orange juice
C．sugar and breadD．wheat bread and orange juice
小題2:Body exercise plays a part in all the following EXCEPT　　　　.
A．making people less anxiousB．raising heart rate
C．reducing blood pressureD．reducing stress
小題3:The underlined word “downside” in the passage probably means　　　　.
A．excitementB．disadvantage
C．benefitD．power
小題4:It can be learned from the passage that　　　　.
A．teenagers learn quickly when they are fond of something
B．teenagers should be forbidden to drive
C．scientists know why teenagers have a good memory
D．teenagers need less sleep than adults
