Question

How to eat healthfully can be espeically complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(營(yíng)養(yǎng)專家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.

“Go for nutrient?dense foods,”she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient?dense ones are so superior, ”she emphasizes.

Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life—it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.

According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.

“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat—they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,”she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”

Answer 1

12-16  CBADD

解析:

12.C  從第一段可以知道職業(yè)婦女忙，對(duì)做飯不感興趣，從第一段的“have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves”(即沒(méi)有愿望也沒(méi)有時(shí)間為她們自己做飯)可以看出C項(xiàng)正確。

13.B  橘汁和橘汁飲料的區(qū)別在于橘汁是自然的，有營(yíng)養(yǎng)的，是直接從橘子中來(lái)的。橘汁和橘汁飲料的區(qū)別在第二段中曾經(jīng)談到過(guò)，即橘汁飲料“contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely colored sugar water”(只包含很少比例的真正橘汁——其他大都是加了色素的糖水)。因此，相對(duì)而言，橘汁是natural, nutritious and prepared from oranges(天然的、有營(yíng)養(yǎng)的、直接從橘子中來(lái)的健康飲料)。

14.A  a fruitless search 意思為“沒(méi)有結(jié)果的努力”，文中第四段談到“試圖尋找一種可以包治百病，又能使你成為超人的食譜是徒勞的”。因此，a fruitless search表示毫無(wú)結(jié)果的努力。fruitless的引申意義為沒(méi)有結(jié)果的，徒勞的。

15.D  許多婦女想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為維他命是一種食物的代替品。文中第四段提到“As women,\:we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food”。

16.D  通過(guò)引用“要是沒(méi)有燃料，光有火花是不行的”。作者的意思是沒(méi)有碳水化合物，蛋白質(zhì)和脂肪，維他命和礦物質(zhì)沒(méi)有用處。文中最后一段在談到碳水化合物、蛋白質(zhì)、脂肪和維生素、礦物質(zhì)的關(guān)系時(shí)，作者將碳水化合物、蛋白質(zhì)、脂肪比作木材、燃料，維他命和礦物比作火柴、火花。引用專家的話說(shuō)，“要是沒(méi)有燃料，光有火花是不行的”
