Elderly people who drink several cups of green tea a day are less likely to suffer from depression, probably due to a "feel good" chemical found in this type of tea, Japanese researchers said.

Several studies have    1  drinking green tea to lessening psychological problems and Kaijun Niu, of Tohoku University Graduate School, and colleagues found people    2   70 and older who drank four or more cups of green tea daily were 44 percent   3     likely to experience depression.

Green tea is widely   4    in many Asian countries,  5    China and Japan.

Niu's team   6     1,058 relatively healthy elderly men and women. About 34 percent of the men and 39 percent of the women had symptoms of    7  , according to the study that was   8      in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

A total of 488 participants said they    9    four or more cups of green tea a day, 284 said they downed two to three cups    10   and the rest reported having one or fewer cups daily.

According to the researchers, the    11    effect of drinking more    12    tea on alleviating symptoms of depression did not    13   after they factored in social and economic status, gender, diet, history of medical problems and       14 of antidepressants.

There was no   15    between consumption of black or oolong tea, or coffee, and   16     symptoms of depression.

A green tea component, the amino acid thiamine(硫胺素), which is   17    to have a tranquilizing(鎮(zhèn)靜的)  18   on the brain, may  19  the "potentially beneficial effect" shown in the current study, Niu noted,   20   that more study is needed.

解析:

本文論述的是:喝綠茶可以減緩老年人的精神抑郁癥。在做本完形填空題的時(shí)候,需要同學(xué)們結(jié)合自己知道的有關(guān)綠茶的常識(shí)及聯(lián)系文章的上下文之間的語(yǔ)意來(lái)確定答案。

1. A 此題考查動(dòng)詞詞義的簡(jiǎn)單辨析。這一句的意思:某些研究把喝綠茶跟緩解精神問(wèn)題聯(lián)系起來(lái),我們得知用A項(xiàng):link…to…, 把……和……聯(lián)系起來(lái),其他三項(xiàng)依次分別表示:帶走,考慮,認(rèn)為,都無(wú)此意。

2. B 此題的解題關(guān)鍵是得知道aged是個(gè)形容詞,意思是:……歲的,而其他的三項(xiàng)均無(wú)此意。最容易錯(cuò)選的是years和age,然而此兩個(gè)詞的正確用法是:70 years old和at the age of 70,aging本身就是個(gè)錯(cuò)誤,故選擇B項(xiàng)。

3. C 解此題的關(guān)鍵是得聯(lián)系上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。文章的第一句就說(shuō):老年人喝綠茶可以少有可能患抑郁癥。此時(shí)也是這個(gè)意思,只不過(guò)多了個(gè)44%,more表示的意思剛好相反,又得用比較級(jí),然而little和much是原級(jí),所以選擇C項(xiàng):比較少。

4. D 這個(gè)題得結(jié)合常識(shí)和把握文章的話(huà)題。文章說(shuō)的是:老齡人喝綠茶。這里的“喝”,就說(shuō)consume:消耗,消費(fèi)。ABC項(xiàng)依次的意思是:賣(mài)(sold是sell的過(guò)去式),種植,傳播,故我們選擇D項(xiàng)。

5. A 考查的是近義詞和形狀相近的詞的辨析。Include:包括(整體),contain:包含(元素),又因?yàn)橹袊?guó)和日本都屬于亞洲,再者,其邏輯主語(yǔ)是countries,和include這個(gè)動(dòng)詞之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,conclude:得出結(jié)論;consider:考慮,故選用including

6. C 這一空的考查的動(dòng)詞詞義的辨析。結(jié)合上下文我們得知:Niu和他的同事在大學(xué)里作研究,要研究就得調(diào)查,也就是investigate,而別的三項(xiàng)的語(yǔ)意分別是:尋找,核對(duì),問(wèn),都就顯得不合適了。

7. D 考查名詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶。全文講述的都是老年人喝綠茶可以少患抑郁癥。ABC項(xiàng)的含義分別是:樂(lè)觀,高興,辛酸。這兒的D項(xiàng)意思是:depression,抑郁。故D為正確答案。

8. A 檢測(cè)聯(lián)系上下文的能力。the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition明顯是一份雜志,當(dāng)然這項(xiàng)研究要“刊登(published)”在雜志上,也就是選擇A項(xiàng),而不是BC兩項(xiàng),這是因?yàn)樗麄兙蜎](méi)有被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)這樣的用法,come out的用法是:sth.come out:……出版了。appear的用法跟它相似。而D項(xiàng)的show表示意思是:展示,邏輯上頁(yè)也不合適。

9. B 此題考查動(dòng)詞詞義的辨析。茶當(dāng)然是用來(lái)喝的,也即是:drink,它的過(guò)去式就是drank。而不是ACD項(xiàng)分別表達(dá)得“吃,吞,嚼”之意。

10.B 此題考查的是喝茶的常識(shí),當(dāng)然是“每天”(daily)喝兩到三杯茶,不可能“每周(weekly),每月(monthly),每年(yearly)”才喝三杯茶。故B項(xiàng)正確。

11.A 考查形容詞詞義的辨析。從文章前面的論述我們得知:老年人喝綠茶可以少患抑郁癥,并且可也大幅度的降低幾率,這個(gè)效果當(dāng)然很明顯,也即是:apparent,而不是BCD項(xiàng)分別依次所表示含義:輕微的,巨大的,溫柔的。

12.D 考查上下文邏輯關(guān)系的照應(yīng)。文章的開(kāi)頭第一句就說(shuō)是綠茶:green tea,也就是D項(xiàng),而不是紅茶(black tea)和烏龍茶(oolong tea),更不是什么咖啡(coffee)

13.A 這一題的關(guān)鍵是厘清這一段的邏輯關(guān)系和語(yǔ)意:在這些研究人員看來(lái),在他們把各種社會(huì)、經(jīng)濟(jì)地位、性別、飲食、各種患病史和使用抗抑郁癥藥等等考慮進(jìn)來(lái)之后,喝綠茶有減緩精神壓抑的明顯作用也很明顯,也就是沒(méi)有消退:fade,暗淡,褪色,消退。BCD項(xiàng)表示的意思不合適:disappear(消失),run(跑),decease(死亡)。

14.C 檢測(cè)名詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶和上下文語(yǔ)言邏輯之間的照應(yīng)。由上一題的分析我們得知,此空需填上表示使用之意的詞語(yǔ),C項(xiàng)use就是這個(gè)意思;ABD三項(xiàng)表示的意思依次分別是:影響,作用,結(jié)果,在語(yǔ)言邏輯上都不合適。

15.A檢測(cè)名詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶和上下文語(yǔ)言邏輯的照應(yīng)。這一段是拿綠茶和紅茶還有咖啡相比較,意思是說(shuō):喝紅茶或者咖啡與抑郁癥的癥狀有所降低之間沒(méi)有聯(lián)系,也就是:association,聯(lián)系。BCD項(xiàng)的意思分別是:使用,比較,不同,語(yǔ)言邏輯上都不合適。故A項(xiàng)為正確答案。

16.A檢測(cè)動(dòng)詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶和上下文語(yǔ)言邏輯的照應(yīng)。由上一題的分析,我們知道此處要填上表示“減少”或者“降低”之意的動(dòng)詞,也就是lower,其余BCD三項(xiàng)的意思分別依次是:增加,加強(qiáng),導(dǎo)致。無(wú)論意思上還是邏輯上都不合適。故選擇A項(xiàng)。

17.B 考查近義詞的辨析。我們可以從這些詞的基本意思結(jié)合這一段的語(yǔ)境來(lái)確定答案。語(yǔ)境是:Niu指明說(shuō),他認(rèn)為對(duì)大腦有著鎮(zhèn)靜作用的硫胺素可以解釋在這項(xiàng)研究里表明的這種潛在的有益的影響。又補(bǔ)充說(shuō),還有必要再作研究。因?yàn)槭亲鲅芯,所以不能是假?assume)和想象(image)。而hope根本就沒(méi)有這樣的用法。

18.A檢測(cè)名詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶和上下文語(yǔ)言邏輯的照應(yīng)。由上一題的分析我們知道此題要填上表示“影響”之意的名詞,也就是effect,而不是CD三項(xiàng)依次表示的意思:努力,結(jié)果,B項(xiàng)的affect(影響)是個(gè)動(dòng)詞。而不是名詞;又因?yàn)閔ave an/a…..effect on是固定的搭配,故選A項(xiàng)。解這個(gè)題的關(guān)鍵是單詞的準(zhǔn)確記憶,包括它們的詞形、詞性和詞義。

19.D考查的是動(dòng)詞的詞義的辨析,由上一題所分析的語(yǔ)境得知此空要表達(dá)的意思是:硫胺素可以說(shuō)明這種潛在的有益影響。這四個(gè)詞中只有explain有解釋說(shuō)明之意,其余ABC三項(xiàng)表達(dá)的意思依次分別是:報(bào)道,證實(shí),完成;無(wú)論是意思還是邏輯上都不照應(yīng),故D項(xiàng)為正確答案。

20.A考查近義詞的含義和辨析。有上下文的語(yǔ)境我們得知:Niu前面已經(jīng)說(shuō)了一句,現(xiàn)在是“接著說(shuō)”,也就是adding。B項(xiàng)的意思:致辭,演說(shuō);C項(xiàng)的意思:說(shuō)(語(yǔ)言);D項(xiàng)的迷惑性最大,但是它的意思是:說(shuō)(言語(yǔ))。故選擇A項(xiàng):接著說(shuō)。

Until 1954 it was thought that no man could run one mile in less than four minutes.As years

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:閱讀理解

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment(環(huán)境)friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass,paper,plastic,and metal containers are produced,and these are difficult to get rid of.

However,today,more and more consumers are choosing“green”,and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product,they ask questions like these:“Will this shampoo damage the environment?”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”

A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it.This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are“green”,that is,friendly to the environment.

Only a few years ago,it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets,but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels (標(biāo)簽) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing (生產(chǎn)) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize_________it in their advertising.

The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it,use it,throw it away, and forget it.”The public pressure is on,and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

1.It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (動(dòng)力) behind green products is_________.

A.public caring for the environment        

B.companies' desire for bigger sales

C.new ways of doing business        

D.rapid growth of supermarkets 

2.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Business and People        

B.Business Goes Green

C.Shopping Habits Are Changing        

D.Supermarkets and Green Products 

3.The underlined word“it”in the fourth paragraph refers to_________.

A.a selling point  

B.the company name

C.a great demand for health foods        

D.the manufacturing of green products
