28、T 1. 45 For more than a decade, dieticians and nutritionists harangue us to lower the amount of fat in our diet. As it happens, their message is only partly correct. Although all fats are high in calories, certain fats, like the omega-3 fatty acids commonly found in fish, are actually good for us, p
29、rovided we consume them in moderation. Not only do ome-ga-3s reduce the risk of clot formation in blood vessels, they also lower the amount of triglycerides, another fatty substance in the blood. The bottom line is that people who eat 6 to 8 ounces of fatty fish a week experience significantly fewer
30、 heart attacks and strokes. Still on the consume-sparing lists are saturated fats, commonly found in red meats and whole-milk dairy products. Recent studies also suggest that another group of fats, called trans-fatty acids, found in abundance in crackers and cookies prepared with hydrogenated oils,
31、may be an even more dangerous promoter(引发物 )of high cholesterol than saturated fats. The most immediate benefit from adopting a healthy diet is that it can lower blood pressure. Even if you dont have hypertension, decreasing your blood pressure makes your blood vessel springier(有弹性的 )and can help st
32、abilize potentially dangerous plaques in the arteries. Two major studies have shown that DASH(Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension)diet, which emphasizes fruits and vegetables, promotes low-fat dairy and high-fiber grains, permits modest portions of lean meat and reduces sodium intake, can lo
33、wer blood pressure as effectively as taking medicine. Just as important, the foods taste good and arent too different from what most Americans are used to eating. 46 The underlined word “harangue“ in the first sentence most probably mean_. （ A） threaten （ B） want （ C） order （ D） persuade 47 Which of
34、 the following about omega-3 fatty acids is NOT true according to the passage? （ A） They are not fats actually. （ B） They are good for our health if taken properly. （ C） They can reduce clot formation in blood vessels. （ D） They can lower the amount of triglycerides. 48 The author states mat trans-f
35、atty acids_. （ A） are not on the consume-sparingly list （ B） are found commonly in red meat （ C） may promote high cholesterol （ D） are not so dangerous as saturated fats 49 The “DASH“ might include all of the following EXCEPT_. （ A） emphasizing fruits and vegetables （ B） promoting low-fat dairy and
36、high-fiber grains （ C） reducing sodium intake （ D） encouraging large portions of lean meats 50 Which of the following is the best title for the passage? （ A） To Eat Right （ B） Go on Diet （ C） Get Fit （ D） Healthy Habits 50 The dog, called Prince, was a smart animal and a slave to Williams. From morn
37、ing till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him. As a good pupil, he lived for chances to demonstrate his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots
38、, he would murmur “Boots“. Within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams favorite tobacco. As a gundog by breed, Prince posse
39、ssed a large soft mouth which specially evolved to carry hunted creatures safely. Therefore, there was never a tooth mark on the paper and me tobacco. Williams was a railway man, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at strange times“days“, “l
40、ate days“ or “nights“. Over me years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to me trouble of the
41、family. On his return, Williams slippers(拖鞋 )were brought to him. A curious thing happened to Williams last winter. One evening he fell on the icy road somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly hurt that he stayed in bed for three days: and not until he got up and dressed again did
42、 he discover that he had lost his wallet that contained over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later Prince dropped the wallet into Williams hand. Very dirty and wet through, it still contained fifty three pounds, Williams d
43、riving license and a few other papers. No one could tell where the dog had round it, but he had found it and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the leather. 51 How did the dog perform his duties? （ A） He was delighted to show them off. （ B） He did his best but was not often successful
44、. （ C） He did them quickly to get them over. （ D） He had few opportunities to do them. 52 What does the passage tell us about gun dogs? （ A） They are the fastest runners of all dogs. （ B） Their teem are removed when they are young. （ C） They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them （ D） They breed
45、 well, producing many young dogs. 53 As a result of Williams work_. （ A） he did not get enough sleep （ B） there was an oily smell on his clothes （ C） the dog grew accustomed to traveling by train （ D） the dog was confused about the time of the day 54 It upset Williams wife and family when_. （ A） Wil
46、liams had to go to work at night （ B） the dog made too much noise in the house （ C） Williams made them all get up early （ D） the dog would not let them see the newspaper 55 Williams did not realize his loss for several days because_. （ A） he trusted the dog to find me wallet （ B） he was unconscious
47、all that time （ C） he thought the wallet was in the house （ D） he had no occasion to feel in his pockets 55 In a family where much housework is shared by father and mother, notions of male superiority(优越 )are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and decision-making arouses equality whic
48、h in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the children learn to accept equality more easily than their parents. And they learn to prepare more fully for taking part in a world which has the nature of cooperation(合作 )rather than the “battle of the sexes“. If the process goes too far and man
49、s role is regarded as less important, we are as badly off as before, only in the opposite way. It is time to examine the role of the man again in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism“ but we dont want to change it to a “neo-Popism“. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and
