【答案】32-35CBDC
【解析】这是一篇说明文。科学家们发现,高盐饮食会导致老鼠的认知障碍,
明,澳大利亚人每天摄入的盐大约是推荐量的两倍,其中大部分来自加工食品,
指出高盐饮食会导致认知障碍,提倡低盐饮食。
32.推理判断题。根据第二段中aHowever,thetestedmicelosttheabilityto
identifyanormalobject.Whenthemicewereputintheircageandaskedtofinda
quietspot,theydidnotrememberwherethequietspotwas.Thenwhenthemicewere

而,被测试的老鼠失去了识别正常物体的能力。当老鼠被关进笼子,被要求找一
个安静的地方时,它们不记得安静的地方在哪里。然后,当老鼠在筑巢时一一这
是老鼠每天都要做的事情一一它们无法这样做了)”可推知,被测试的老鼠忘记
了一些日常的事情。故选C。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段中uStudieshaveshownAustralianseataround
doubletherecommendedamountofsalteachday,mostofitcomingfromprocessed

摄入的盐大约是推荐量的两倍,其中大部分来自加工食品。Ladecola博士说,澳
大利亚人平均每天摄入两茶匙的盐,长期来看可能会影响大脑功能)”可知,澳
大利亚人的饮食含盐量高。故选B。
34.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“"Highlevelsofsaltcauseseriousimmune

定会导致认知障碍J)”可知,最后一段主要讲了盐摄入和脑损伤之间的联系。
故选D。
35.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Scientistsfdundthatahigh-saltdietcaused

【答案】36-40EGFAB
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。压力是自然而来的,学会掌控它很重要。本文
主要列举了一些处理压力的建议。
36.根据后文“Weallbehaveabitdifferentlyaccordingtodifferenttypesof
stress.Herearesomehelpfultipstohelpyou.(面对不同类型的压力,我们的表现也
会有所不同。这里有一些有用的建议可以帮助你)”可知,后文提到了不同类型
的压力,可知本句是在指出存在压力的问题,E选项中stress对应后文中stress。
故E选项“没有办法完全摆脱压力”符合语境,故选E。
37.根据上文“Eatright.Researchshowssnackfoodsaretheworstthingsto
havewhenyou'restressed.Besides,theyarenotthebestwaytokeephealthy.(正确的
饮食。研究表明,当你感到压力时,零食是最糟糕的东西。此外,它们不是保持
健康的最好方法)”可知,本段主要是关于正确的饮食问题,本句为本段最后一
句,应承接上文继续说明正确饮食的重要性,G选项中food对应上文中fbods。
故G选项“当然,每个人都喜欢一些安慰性的食物,但是你需要一个平衡的饮
食”符合语境,故选G。
38.根据上文“Getmoving.Mostofoureverydaystressisrelatedtoschool,
work,orahostofemotionalissues.(动起来。我们每天的压力大多与学校、工作或
一系列情绪问题有关)”以及后文“Whenwe9reunderalotofstress,ourbodiescan
developalotofmuscletension.Regularexercisecanhelpyourelaxandfeel
better.(当我们承受很大压力时,我们的身体会产生很大的肌肉紧张。有规律的运
动可以帮助你放松和感觉更好)”可知,上文提到了产生压力的原因,后文则说
明了运动的好处,可知本句与上文构成转折,说明体育活动的好处。F项中的
aphysicalactivityn对上文"Getmoving”相对应。故F选项"然而,一些体育
活动可以帮助我们消除疲劳”符合语境,故选F。
39.根据后文“Essayswon'twritethemselves,andgoodgradesrequirehard
work.Don'tthinkmuchaboutthebadthings.Giveyourselfcreditwhereyoucan
improveyourself.Stressisaclearsignofworry,butitdoesn'tmeanyoursituationis
hopeless.(论文不会自己写好,好成绩需要努力。不要想太多不好的事情。在你可
以提升自己的地方,要给自己肯定。压力是担心的明显标志,但这并不意味着你
的情况是没有希望的)”可知,本段的中心内容是不要想太多不好的事情,即保
持乐观,故A选项“保持乐观”符合语境,故选A。
40.根据上文"Speakup.Thebreakupofyourfavoriterockbandisn'ttheendof
theworld,butsometimeslifedoesthrowsomerealproblemsatyou.Butdon'tletthe
stresseatyouup.(说出来。你最喜欢的摇滚乐队解散并不是世界末日,但有时生
活确实会给你带来一些真正的问题。但是不要让压力吞噬了你)”以及后文“If
you'refeelingseriouslydepressedandunabletokeepupwithschoolandlife,speak
toafamilymemberoryourdoctor.(如果你感到非常沮丧,无法跟上学校和生活的
节奏,告诉你的家人或你的医生)”可知,上文提到不要让压力吞噬自己,后文
则提到告诉家人和医生,可推测本句是在建议和他人交谈来缓解压力。B选项中
Talkto对应后文中speakto。故B选项”和值得信赖的朋友交谈”符合语境,故
选B。
