6.Eating a diet high in processed food(加工食品)increases the risk of depression,research suggests.What's more,peopie who ate plenty of vegetables,fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression,the University College London team found.
Data on diet among 3,500 middle-aged civil servants(公務(wù)員)were compared with their emotional state five years later,a British journal reported.They split the participants into two types of diet--those who ate a diet largely based on whole food,which inc!udes lots of fruit,vegetables and fish,and those who ate a mainly processed food diet,such as sweetened desserts,fried food,processed meat,refined grains and high fat dairy products After accounting for factors such as gender,age,education,physical activity,smoking habits and chronic(慢性的) diseases,they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets.
Those who ate the most wholefood had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood.By contrast,people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed foods.
Study author Dr.Archana SinghManoux pointed out there was a chance the finding could be explained by fl lifestyle factor they had not accounted for.
There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression,but the problem with that is if you live in Britain,the likelihood(可能性)of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.
Dr.Andrew McCulloeh,chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation,said,this study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health.
He added people's diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy.The UK population is consuming less nutritious,fresh produce and more saturated(含飽和脂肪酸的)fats and sugars.

分析 文章主要講述了加工食品對(duì)人類的影響,加工的食物吃多了會(huì)增加人的抑郁情緒.通過一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)飲食與健康有很大的關(guān)系,并指出人們的飲食越來越不健康.作者通過這篇文章告訴我們要少吃加工食品,多吃天然食物.
解答 61.B 主旨大意題.文章主要介紹了加工食品對(duì)人類的影響,多吃加工食物會(huì)增加人的抑郁情緒.由此推知,本文主要講述了加工食品與抑郁癥之間的關(guān)系.故選B.
62.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段Those who ate the most wholefood had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood.可知那些吃最多天然食物的人未來患抑郁癥的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)較低.由此推知,吃天然食物的人通常是快樂的.故選D.
63.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression,but the problem with that is if you live in Britain,the likelihood(可能性)of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.可知對(duì)英國人來說,有地中海的飲食習(xí)慣的可能性不高.故選A.
