2.共用题干 第二篇 Diabetes(糖尿病)and Eye DamageOver 2 million Canadians have diabetes.It is the leading cause of blindness in North Americans under 65 years of age.Diabetes is a condition where the body either cannot produce enough insulin(胰岛素)or cannot respond properly to insulin. Insulin is important because it moves glucose(葡萄糖),a simple sugar, into the body's cells from the blood. The food people eat provides the body with glucose,which is used by the cells as a source of energy.If insulin isn't available or doesn't work correctly to move glucose from the blood into the cells,glucose will stay in the blood,leading to high blood sugar levels.High blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels,including the tiny blood vessels in the eye.This leads to an eye disease known as diabetic retinopathy(糖尿病型视网膜病). The retina(视网膜)is an area at the back of the eye that changes light into nerve signals. With diabetic retinopathy,some blood vessels in the retina are lost,and some of the other blood vessels begin to"leak"blood.This causes the retina to swell,and gradually cuts off its supply of oxygen and nutrients(滋养物).Eventually , the retina starts to grow new blood vessels to replace the damaged ones.Unfortunately,these new vessels are not as strong as the old ones.They are more likely to break,causing bleeding in the eye.At first,people with diabetic retinopathy will not notice any symptoms.As the disease gets worse , they may notice blurred(模糊的)vision, black spots or flashing lights. As time goes on,it can progress to blindness.Everyone with diabetes is at risk for diabetic retinopathy,and the risk increases the longer you've had diabetes.Fortunately,you can reduce your risk.If you do not have diabetes,but think you may be at risk for this condition,visit your doctor to be screened for diabetes.If you do have diabetes:Have frequent eye check-ups.Make sure that you monitor your blood sugar frequently and use your medications as recommended by your doctor. There is evidence to show that keeping your blood sugar under tight control can slow down eye damage.If you have high blood pressure,follow your recommended diet and medications to keep it under control.If you are not sure whether you have high blood pressure,or whether your blood pressure is under control,discuss this with your doctor.The word"its"in the second paragraph refers toA: the nerve's. B:the blood's.C:the eye's. D: the retina's,

3.共用题干 Eating Potatoes Gives Your Immune System a BoostEating 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 that pigs fed large quantities of raw potato starch(RPS)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.The general down-regulation of leucocytes observed by the Spanish researchers suggests an overali beneficial effect,a generally more healthy body.The reduction in leucocyte levels was about 15 percent. Lower lymphocyte levels are also indicative of reduced levels of inflammation, but the observed 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 high in resistant starch,"said study leader Jose Francisco Perez at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona,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 1 0 percent of the starch eaten by human is resistant starch-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).Immunology expert Lena Ohman's 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 decrease in lymphocytes observed by the Spanish is therefore interesting,and a diet of resistant starch may be worth trying in lBS patients.Ohman is currently at the Department of Internal Medicine,Goteborg University,Sweden.The study is published in the journal Chemistry and Industry,the magazine of the SCI. For what a purpose did the researchers use raw potato starch in their experiment?A: They warned to observe how the leucocyte levels reduced in the experimental pigs.B: They wanted to simulate the effects of a diet high in resistant starch.C: They wanted to see how much potato an experimental pig ate every day.D: They wanted to see how much body weight each experimental pig gained in the end.

    Diabetes(糖尿病)and Eye Damage

    Over 2 million Canadians have diabetes.It is the leading cause of blindness in North
    Americans under 65 years of age.Diabetes is a condition where the body either cannot
    produce enough insulin(胰岛素)or cannot respond properly to insulin. Insulin is important
    because it moves glucose(葡萄糖),a simple sugar, into the body's cells from the blood.
    The food people eat provides the body with glucose,which is used by the cells as a source
    of energy.If insulin isn't available or doesn't work correctly to move glucose from the blood
    into the cells,glucose will stay in the blood,leading to high blood sugar levels.
    High blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels,including the tiny blood vessels in
    the eye.This leads to an eye disease known as diabetic retinopathy(糖尿病型视网膜病).
    The retina(视网膜)is an area at the back of the eye that changes light into nerve signals.
    With diabetic retinopathy,some blood vessels in the retina are lost,and some of the other
    blood vessels begin to"leak"blood.This causes the retina to swell,and gradually cuts off
    its supply of oxygen and nutrients(滋养物).Eventually , the retina starts to grow new
    blood vessels to replace the damaged ones.Unfortunately,these new vessels are not as
    strong as the old ones.They are more likely to break,causing bleeding in the eye.
    At first,people with diabetic retinopathy will not notice any symptoms.As the disease
    gets worse , they may notice blurred(模糊的)vision, black spots or flashing lights. As
    time goes on,it can progress to blindness.Everyone with diabetes is at risk for diabetic
    retinopathy,and the risk increases the longer you've had diabetes.
    Fortunately,you can reduce your risk.If you do not have diabetes,but think you may
    be at risk for this condition,visit your doctor to be screened for diabetes.If you do have
    diabetes:
    Have frequent eye check-ups.
    Make sure that you monitor your blood sugar frequently and use your medications as
    recommended by your doctor. There is evidence to show that keeping your blood sugar
    under tight control can slow down eye damage.
    If you have high blood pressure,follow your recommended diet and medications to
    keep it under control.If you are not sure whether you have high blood pressure,or whether
    your blood pressure is under control,discuss this with your doctor.

    The worst eye damage induced by diabetes is
    A:blurred vision.
    B: black spots,
    C: blindness.

    Text 4 Consuming high-quality plant foods such as whole grains,fruits,vegetables,nuts and legumes may substantially lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes,researchers including one of Indian-origin have claimed."This study highlights that even moderate dietary changes in the direction of a healthful plant-based diet can play a significant role in the prevention of type 2 diabetes,"said Ambika Satija from Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health in the US."These findings provide further evidence to support current dietary recommendations for chronic disease prevention,"she said.While previous studies have found links between vegetarian diets and improved health outcomes,including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes,this new study is the first to make distinctions between healthy plant-based diets and less healthy ones that include things like sweetened foods and beverages,which may be detrimental for health.The study also considered the effect of including some animal foods in the diet.Researchers followed more than 200,000 male and female health professionals in the US for more than 20 years who had regularly filled out questionnaires on their diet,lifestyle,medical history,and ncw disease diagnoses as part of three large long-term studies.They evaluated participants'diets using a plant-based diet index in which they assigned plant-derived foods higher scores and animal-derived foods lower scores.The study found that high adherence to a plant-based diet that was low in animal foods was associated with a 20 percent reduced risk of type 2 diabetes compared with low adherence to such a diet,researchers said.Eating a healthy version of a plant-based diet was linked with a 34 per cent lower diabetes risk,while a less healthy version-including foods such as refrned grains,potatoes,and sugar-sweetened beverages-was linked with a 16 per cent increased risk,they said.Even modestly lowering animal food consumption-for example,from 5-6 servings per day to about 4 servings per day-was linked with lower diabetes incidence,the study found."A shift to a dietary pattern higher in healthful plant-based foods,such as vegetables,fruits,whole grains,legumes,nuts,and seeds,and lower in animal-based foods,especially red and processed meats,can confer substantial health benefits in reducing risk of type 2 diabetes,"said Frank Hu from Harvard Chan School.Researchers suggest that healthful plant-based diets could be lowering type 2 diabetes risk because such diets are high in fiber,antioxidants,unsaturated fatty acids,and micronutrients such as magnesium,and are low in saturated fat.Healthy plant foods may also be contributing to a healthy gut microbiome,they said.

    Exercise Can Replace Insulin for Elderly Diabetics

    Most old people with so-called type Ⅱ diabetes could stop taking insulin if they 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 Rigshospitalet's Center
    for Muscle Research showed that physical exercise can boost the body's ability to utilise insulin by 30
    percent,the newspaper reported.
    This is equal to 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 Ⅱ,all 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.
    Associate Professor Dr. Flemming Dela of the Muscle Research Center 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,but it can eliminate almost all their symptoms.At the same time it can put off the point at which
    they have to begin taking insulin or perhaps completely avoid insulin treatment,"Dela was quoted as saying.
    Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas,controlling sugar in the body and used against diabetes.
    Dela said that to achieve the desired effect diabetics need only exercise to the point where they begin to
    work up a sweat,but that the activity has to be maintained since it wears off after five days without sufficient
    exercise.
    Most diabetics realise that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importance of
    exercise,Dela added.

    To what a degree have diabetics to exercise in order to achieve the desired effect?
    A:To the degree where they begin to sweat.
    B:To the degree where they feel exhausted.
    C:To the point when they feel thirsty.
    D:To the point when they have to take insulin.

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一段中,"Most old people with so-called type Ⅱdiabetes could stop taking insulin if they would do brisk exercise for 30 minutes just three times a week",可知选C。
    由文章第二段中“…physical exercise can boost the body' s ability to utilise insulin by 30 percent",可知体育锻炼能将身体利用胰岛素的能力提高30%,故选B。

    由文章倒数第二段中“Dela said that to achieve the desired effect diabetics need only exer-cise to the point where they begin to work up a sweat.”可知,体育锻炼只要达到出汗的程度就能 起作用,故选A。
    由文章最后一段中“Most diabetics realise that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importance of exercise.”可知,大多数糖尿病患者知道必须注意饮食,但却并不知 道体育锻炼的重要性,故选C。第5部分:补全短文

    Importance of Calories

    D

    Improving Our Diet


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    主旨题。录音首句便指出malnutrition(营养不良)的问题,接着对该问题出现的原因、造成的危害及解决方法等进行了详细的分析。由此可推断,该段录音主要讲述如何应对营养不良问题。因此选项B的内容与录音主要意思相符。
    【录音原文】
      In most corners of the world malnutrition is plainly a matter of outright insufficiency of food for population—where the majority of the people do not obtain enough food calories to meet minimal needs for support of physical work and for maintenance of health. Elsewhere the problem may be not one of insufficient calories but of lack of specific nutrients essential for health.
      In Latin America, as in other places, the dread protein deficiency disease kwashiorkor is taking its heavy toll on children’s lives. Strategic vitamins and minerals may be lacking due to traditional diets which are nutritionally imbalanced. Here people continue their eating pattern year after year without knowledge of what their dietary habits are doing to themselves and to future generation. With a basic knowledge of nutritional needs and deficiencies, efforts would be directed to finding food substitutes which could meet these needs. Mixtures of vegetable proteins, like soybeans and peanuts, could provide an abundance of cheap, useful protein where meats, eggs, and milk are not within economic reach of large groups in the population. Efforts could also be expanded on increasing the agricultural productivity in specific regions; where large areas are given over to relatively inefficient use as grazing land, the intensive production of vegetable protein crops could bring remedial nutrition to an undernourished population.

    Exercise can Replace Insulin for Elderly Diabetics
    Most older people with so-called type Ⅱ diabetes could stop taking insulin if they would do brisk exercise for 30 minutes just three times a week,according to new medical research results reported in the Copenhagen newspaper Berlin gske Tidende on Monday.
    Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalet's Center for Muscle Research showed that physical exercise can boost the body's ability to utilise insulin by 30 percent,the newspaper reported.
    This is equal to 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 Ⅱ,all 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.
    Associate Professor Dr. Hemming Dela of the Muscle Research Center said the tests demonstrated that the exercising diabetics had just as high insulin utilisation as the healthy non一exercising persons.
    “This means that the insulin works just as well for both groups.Physical exercise cannot cure people of diabetes,but it can eliminate almost all their symptoms. At the same time it can put off the point at which they have to begin taking insulin or perhaps completely avoid insulin treatment,”Dela was quoted as saying.
    Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas,controlling sugar in the body and used against diabetes.
    Dela said that to achieve the desired effect diabetics need only exercise to the point where they begin to work up a sweat,but that the activity has to be maintained since it wears off after five days without sufficient exercise.
    Most diabetics realise that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importance of exercise,Dela added.

    Physical exercise may increase the body ability to utilise insulin by______.
    A: 70 percent
    B: 30 percent
    C: 60 percent
    D: only a few percent

    答案:B
    解析:
    题干意为“大多数上了年纪的Ⅱ型糖尿病患者怎样才能停止使用胰岛素?” 短文标题直接点明了短文的主题——老年糖尿病患者可以通过体育锻炼来取代胰岛素治疗,因此与体育运动相关的选项C和选项D可能是答案。比较这两个选项:C项“通过每周三次轻快的体育锻炼,每次30分钟”,D项“通过每年爬山,游泳或拳击”,依据常识,老年人不适合做拳击运动,因此答案可能是选项C。其实短文第一段就是该问题设置的依据,第一段提到“一则最新医疗研究结果称,大多数Ⅱ型老年糖尿病患者只要每周坚持三次轻快的体育锻炼,每次30分钟,就可以不用注射胰岛素”。由此可以进一步确认答案为C。
    题干意为“体育锻炼可以把身体利用胰岛素的能力提高多少?”利用题干中的细节信息短语physical exercise, body ability作为定位线索,备选项中出现了大量的数字,也利用备选项中的数字作为定位线索,这样在短文第二段中找到相关句:Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalet's Center for Muscle Research showed'hat physical exercise can boost the body's ability to utilise insulin by 30 percent, the newspaper reported.该句提到“报道称,哥本哈根中心医院Rigshospitalet肌肉研究中心对糖尿病人进行测试,结果显示体育锻炼能将身体利用胰岛素的能力提高30%”。由此答案为B项。
    题干意为“在哥本哈根中心医院进行的研究实验所涉及到的研究对象包 括……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语subjects,research tests, Copenhagen Central Hos-pital作为定位线索,在第四段中找到相关句:Researchers(指上文中提到的哥本哈根研究中心 的研究人员)had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type Ⅱ ,all 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,第四段第一句提到“研究人员挑选了一组非糖尿病患者,一组Ⅱ型糖尿病患者,都在60岁以上的男性。这些人每周骑自行车锻炼六次,并持续三个月”。由此可知答案为D项“老年非糖尿病男性和老年Ⅱ型糖尿病男性患者”。

    Diabetes(糖尿病)and Eye Damage

    Over 2 million Canadians have diabetes.It is the leading cause of blindness in North
    Americans under 65 years of age.Diabetes is a condition where the body either cannot
    produce enough insulin(胰岛素)or cannot respond properly to insulin. Insulin is important
    because it moves glucose(葡萄糖),a simple sugar, into the body's cells from the blood.
    The food people eat provides the body with glucose,which is used by the cells as a source
    of energy.If insulin isn't available or doesn't work correctly to move glucose from the blood
    into the cells,glucose will stay in the blood,leading to high blood sugar levels.
    High blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels,including the tiny blood vessels in
    the eye.This leads to an eye disease known as diabetic retinopathy(糖尿病型视网膜病).
    The retina(视网膜)is an area at the back of the eye that changes light into nerve signals.
    With diabetic retinopathy,some blood vessels in the retina are lost,and some of the other
    blood vessels begin to"leak"blood.This causes the retina to swell,and gradually cuts off
    its supply of oxygen and nutrients(滋养物).Eventually , the retina starts to grow new
    blood vessels to replace the damaged ones.Unfortunately,these new vessels are not as
    strong as the old ones.They are more likely to break,causing bleeding in the eye.
    At first,people with diabetic retinopathy will not notice any symptoms.As the disease
    gets worse , they may notice blurred(模糊的)vision, black spots or flashing lights. As
    time goes on,it can progress to blindness.Everyone with diabetes is at risk for diabetic
    retinopathy,and the risk increases the longer you've had diabetes.
    Fortunately,you can reduce your risk.If you do not have diabetes,but think you may
    be at risk for this condition,visit your doctor to be screened for diabetes.If you do have
    diabetes:
    Have frequent eye check-ups.
    Make sure that you monitor your blood sugar frequently and use your medications as
    recommended by your doctor. There is evidence to show that keeping your blood sugar
    under tight control can slow down eye damage.
    If you have high blood pressure,follow your recommended diet and medications to
    keep it under control.If you are not sure whether you have high blood pressure,or whether
    your blood pressure is under control,discuss this with your doctor.

    To slow down eye damage,people with diabetes should try to
    A: use as many medications as they can.
    B: eat as little as possible.
    C: wear glasses as often as possible.
    D: keep their blood sugar under tight control.

    答案:D

    Text 4 Consuming high-quality plant foods such as whole grains,fruits,vegetables,nuts and legumes may substantially lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes,researchers including one of Indian-origin have claimed."This study highlights that even moderate dietary changes in the direction of a healthful plant-based diet can play a significant role in the prevention of type 2 diabetes,"said Ambika Satija from Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health in the US."These findings provide further evidence to support current dietary recommendations for chronic disease prevention,"she said.While previous studies have found links between vegetarian diets and improved health outcomes,including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes,this new study is the first to make distinctions between healthy plant-based diets and less healthy ones that include things like sweetened foods and beverages,which may be detrimental for health.The study also considered the effect of including some animal foods in the diet.Researchers followed more than 200,000 male and female health professionals in the US for more than 20 years who had regularly filled out questionnaires on their diet,lifestyle,medical history,and ncw disease diagnoses as part of three large long-term studies.They evaluated participants'diets using a plant-based diet index in which they assigned plant-derived foods higher scores and animal-derived foods lower scores.The study found that high adherence to a plant-based diet that was low in animal foods was associated with a 20 percent reduced risk of type 2 diabetes compared with low adherence to such a diet,researchers said.Eating a healthy version of a plant-based diet was linked with a 34 per cent lower diabetes risk,while a less healthy version-including foods such as refrned grains,potatoes,and sugar-sweetened beverages-was linked with a 16 per cent increased risk,they said.Even modestly lowering animal food consumption-for example,from 5-6 servings per day to about 4 servings per day-was linked with lower diabetes incidence,the study found."A shift to a dietary pattern higher in healthful plant-based foods,such as vegetables,fruits,whole grains,legumes,nuts,and seeds,and lower in animal-based foods,especially red and processed meats,can confer substantial health benefits in reducing risk of type 2 diabetes,"said Frank Hu from Harvard Chan School.Researchers suggest that healthful plant-based diets could be lowering type 2 diabetes risk because such diets are high in fiber,antioxidants,unsaturated fatty acids,and micronutrients such as magnesium,and are low in saturated fat.Healthy plant foods may also be contributing to a healthy gut microbiome,they said.
    From the new study,we can infer that_____

    A.sweet fruit juice and beverages are beneficial to our health
    B.animal foods should not be included in our diet for the sake of health
    C.fried potatoes are healthy food comparing with animal foods
    D.eating less meat is helpful to reduce the diabetes incidence

    What Is Insulin-dependent Diabetes?
    When you eat,your body takes the sugar from food and turns it into fuel.______(46)Your body uses glucose for energy,so it can do everything from breathing air to playing a video game.But glucose can't be used by the body on its own-it needs a hormone called insulin to bring it into the cells of the body.
    Most people get the insulin they need from the pancreas,a large organ near the stomach?The pancreas makes insulin;insulin brings glucose into the cells;and the body gets the energy it needs.When a person has insulin一dependent diabetes,it's because the pancreas is not making insulin.So someone could be eating lots of food and getting all the glucose he needs,but without insulin,there is no way for the body to use the glucose for energy.______(47)
    You may have heard older people talk about having diabetes,maybe people of your grandparents'age.Usually,this is a different kind of diabetes called non一insulin一dependent diabetes.It can also be called Type 2 diabetes,or adult-onset diabetes.______(48)
    When a kid is diagnosed with juvenile(insulin-dependent)diabetes,he will have that type of diabetes for his whole life.It won't ever change to non-insulin-dependent diabetes when he gets older.
    Scientists now think that a person who has juvenile diabetes was born with a certain gene or genes that made the person more likely to get the illness.______(49)
    Many scientists believe that along with having certain genes,something else outside the person's body, like a viral infection,is necessary to set the diabetes in motion by affecting the cells in the pancreas that make insulin.
    But the person must have the gene(or genes)for diabetes to start' out with一this means you can't get diabetes just from catching a flu,virus,or cold.And this type of diabetes isn't caused by eating too many sugary foods,either.Diabetes can take a long time to develop in a person's body-sometimes months or years?Another important thing to remember is that diabetes is not contagious.______(50)

    ______(47)
    A:Genes are something that you inherit from your parents,and they are in your body even before you're born.
    B:This sugar-fuel is called glucose?
    C:It may be possible to beat insulin resistance through lifestyle changes.
    D:You can't catch diabetes from people who have it,no matter how close you sit to them or if you kiss them.
    E:The glucose can't get into the cells of the body without insulin.
    F:When a person has this kind of diabetes,the pancreas usually can still make insulin,but the person's body needs more than the pancreas can make?

    答案:E
    解析:
    文章第一句所讲的内容是当人进食时,身体会从食物中摄取糖分,并把它转化为燃料。B项是对这种燃料的解释,且空白处后的句子中又出现了B项中的名词glucose。故此处选B。
    此空处之前的内容提到,如果一个人患上了胰岛素依赖型糖尿病,虽然其通过大量进食获取了所需的全部葡萄糖,但如果没有胰岛素的参与,身体就不能通过利用这些葡萄糖来获得能量。选项E的内容和此处为顺承关系,故选E。
    上一段指出胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者的胰腺无法分泌胰岛素,本段此空处之前的内容提到了非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病,并指出它不同于胰岛素依赖型糖尿病。故此空处应详细介绍此种类型的糖尿病。F项符合文意。
