Question

Children brought up on healthy diets are more intelligent compared with their junk food eating partners, a new research suggests．  
Kids fed a diet packed high in fats, sugars, and processed（加工）  foods had lower IQs than those fed pasta（意大利面食）, salads and fruit,  it was found．
The effect is so great that researchers from the University of Bristol said those children with a "healthier" diet may get an IQ improvement．
Scientists stressed good diet was essential in a child's early life as the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life．
This indicated head growth at this time is linked to intellectual ability and “it is possible that good nutrition（營養(yǎng)） during this period may encourage excellent brain growth” ．
Scientists tracked the long term health and happiness of around 14,000 children born in 1991 and 1992 as part of the West Country's Avon Longitudinal（縱向的）Study of Parents and Children （ ALSPAC） ．
Parents were questioned about the types and frequency of the food and drink their children consumed when they were three, four, seven and eight and a half years old． According to their different changing form, these children were marked and given grades which ranged from minus two for the most healthy to10 for the most unhealthy．
In the research, IQ was measured of 4,000 children when they were eight and half years old,  using a validated（經過認證的）test－the Wechsler Intelligence Scale（韋氏兒童智力量表） for Children．
The results found after taking account of some influential factors, a leading processed food diet at the age of three was associated with a lower IQ at the age of eight and a half , whether the diet was improved after that age．
Every l point increase in dietary pattern score was associated with a l.67 fall in IQ．
小題1:Scientists stressed good diet was essential in a child’s early life because        .

A．the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life．

B．those children with a "healthier" diet must get an IQ improvement．

C．children brought up on healthy diets are less intelligent．

D．these children were given good grades．

小題2:Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Those children with a "healthier" diet may get an IQ improvement．

B．Good nutrition at any stage may encourage excellent brain growth．

C．Scientists tracked the long term health and happiness of about 14,000 children．

D．Every l point increase in dietary pattern score was associated with a l．67 fall in IQ．

小題3:The results found if a child ate a leading processed food diet when he was 3, he would          ．

A．have a higher IQ

B．have a higher IQ as long as he improved his diet

C．have one IQ when he was 8

D．have a lower IQ whether he improved his diet

小題4:What is the best title of the passage?

A．Food for thought

B．What is healthy food?

D．How to become clever?

小題3:D
小題4:C

試題分析：說明本文討論的話題是健康的飲食會帶來很高的智商的話題。
小題1:A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第四段Scientists stressed good diet was essential in a child's early life as the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life．說明在最初的三年里腦部的發(fā)育最快，故A正確。
小題2:B 推理題。根據(jù)文章第五段This indicated head growth at this time is linked to intellectual ability and “it is possible that good nutrition（營養(yǎng)） during this period may encourage excellent brain growth”說明良好的營養(yǎng)在這一階段可以導致很好的腦部的發(fā)育，并不是在任何年齡段都有很好的影響，故B項說法錯誤。
小題3:D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段The results found after taking account of some influential factors, a leading processed food diet at the age of three was associated with a lower IQ at the age of eight and a half , whether the diet was improved after that age．說明如果在三歲的時候有很好的營養(yǎng)，那么就會有較高的智商，故D內容正確。
小題4:C 主旨大意題。根據(jù)本文的主題段第一段內容Children brought up on healthy diets are more intelligent compared with their junk food eating partners, a new research suggests．說明飲食很健康的孩子的智商可能會更高，說明本文討論的話題是健康的飲食會帶來很高的智商的話題。故C正確。
點評：說明本文討論的話題是健康的飲食會帶來很高的智商的話題。測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關系，對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋�？忌�首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點。
