Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.

Diet products weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie(卡), unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the counter instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food brands.

 On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

 The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(營養(yǎng)成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

 Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.

1.The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.

A. diet products can bring out people’s potential

B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products

C. diet products are misleading people

D. people are fed up with diet products

2.One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to ____.

A. resist a variety of diet foods

B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods

C. pay attention to their own eating habits

D. watch their weight rather than their diet

3.The purpose of writing this passage is _________.

A. to warn people of the side effect of diet products

B. to tell people how to lose weight

C. to advise people to eat diet products

D. to introduce some diet products

4. Which of the following shows the structure(結(jié)構(gòu)) of the passage?

【解析】

試題分析:我們的生活中充斥著各種各樣的減肥產(chǎn)品。這些產(chǎn)品真能幫助我們減肥嗎?事實(shí)上,減肥產(chǎn)品不僅在身體上而且在心理上都給人們帶來了危害。減肥需要堅強(qiáng)的決心和實(shí)際的努力鍛煉,而減肥產(chǎn)品基本沒有營養(yǎng)還會讓人覺得減肥很簡單:吃兩片藥片就可以。這些都告訴我們應(yīng)該向減肥產(chǎn)品說不。

1.主題歸納題。根據(jù)We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. 還有第四句中的for products that harm us可知選C(減肥產(chǎn)品在誤導(dǎo)人們)。mis-leading可以拆分成兩個部分,后面的意思是“導(dǎo)向” ,一般情況下,前面的前綴mis起相反的意思,那么就是誤導(dǎo)了。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第第二句話的意思可知,減肥產(chǎn)品在心理上削弱了我們。我們的體重有問題不在于在實(shí)際上失去了重量,而在于控制消耗脂肪,高熱量,不健康的食品。選 D(注意體重而不是飲食)。

3.主題歸納題。根據(jù)最后一段的意思可知,減肥產(chǎn)品對我們的健康有害,所以購買需謹(jǐn)慎。選A(警告人們減肥產(chǎn)品的副作用。)。

4.篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。分析各段的主題大意可知,第一段是我們在關(guān)注對我們身心有害的產(chǎn)品;第二段介紹在心理上削弱注意力;同時說了一方面;第三段有接著提到另一方面;第四段介紹減肥產(chǎn)品對人的身體的危害;第五段得出結(jié)論:減肥產(chǎn)品有害,不應(yīng)該購買。所以選B。

考點(diǎn):生活百科類閱讀。

Taste is such a subjective matter that we don’t usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone’s preference is that it’s one person’s opinion. But because the two big cola companies-Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola-are marketed so aggressively, we’ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.

       We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they’d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.

       We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them with four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants’ choices with what mere guesswork could have accomplished.

       Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly.

       Both groups did better than chance would predict, but nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so tiredness, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.

According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to ________.

A. show that a person’s opinion about taste is mere guesswork

B. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks

C. find out the role taste preference plays in a person’s drinking

D. reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers

The statistics recorded in the preference tests show that________.

A. there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi

B. few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi

C. people’s tastes differ from one another

D. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people’s two most favorite drinks

The underlined word “burnout” here refers to the state of________.

A. being seriously burnt in the skin            

B. being badly damaged by fire   

C. being unable to burn for lack of fuel      

D. being unable to function because of too much use

The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to________.

A. emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other

B. recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas

C. show that taste preference is highly subjective

D. argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy
