Dietitian Bridget Murphy advises focusing on the immediate effects of a diet that is high in sodium.High blood pressure can make it difficult to be active.“Do you want to be able to think clearly and perform well in school?” she asks.“If you’re an athlete,do you want to run faster?” If you answered yes to these questions,then it’s time to shake the salt habit.35.What did the recent CDC study find?A.American kids have too much salt.B.Teenagers have good dietary habits.C.The present advised salt intake is too high.D.Proper sodium intake benefits human health.6.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “culprits” in Paragraph 5?A.Criminals.B.Results.C.Types.D.Surprises.7.What is Quader’s advice for kids?A.Eat salt-free foods.B.Have a low-sodium diet.C.Keep away from junk food.D.Take enough exercise regularly.8.According to Murphy,a salty diet will probably .A.help you have a quick mindB.increase your running speedC.make you relatively inactiveD.keep you hungry but spirited二、完形填空The Silver Line,created this year,is a free,24 hours telephone helpline.It offers information,friendship and advice to 1people.4“It’s often easier to speak to a2,and nice to know you can 3day or night,” says Bolton,who has no family nearby.She called the helpline after it was 4by others.New figures show that August was the charity’s5month,receiving more than 45,000calls.Summer can be a(n) 6time for those left behind during the holiday season,7familiar faces are away for holidays,from the shopkeeper to the bus driver or even family members.Two-thirds of calls are 8at night-time and weekends,when no other services are 9.84 percent of older people say it is very difficult to10loneliness,even to members of their 11 because they do not wish to become a “burden”.A recent study found that almost three-quarters of older people in the UK are12,and more than half have 13spoken to anyone about how they feel.People can call the Silver Line14,or be referred by a relative or other helplines.Helpline staff try to learn callers’15first and then suggest information or 16voluntary support,aiming to reconnect them with their communities.“For a charity,trying to gain donations from the public is a17task,” says Sophie Andrews,chief leader of the Silver Line,“Older people are regarded as being responsible for economic fall.” To 18 this,Andrews wants a greater understanding of their mental health 19:“Being older means you are still exposed to mental health issues,but your ability to change your situation is 20.”1.A.disabled B.homeless C.poor D.older2.A.neighbor B.stranger C.friend D.doctore B.talk C.call D.visit4.A.mentioned B.served C.ignored D.blamed5.A.happiest B.busiest C.hottest D.worst6.A.difficult B.meaningfulC.unforgettableD.relaxing7.A.if B.or C.when D.though58.A.missed B.paid C.canceled D.received9.A.standard B.official eful D.available10.A.avoid B.recover fromC.admit toD.value11.A.family B.hospital C.charity D.team12.A.healthy B.wealthy C.lonely D.unfortunate13.A.ever B.never C.often D.sometimes14.A.early B.freely C.directly D.frequently15.A.needs B.interests C.jobs D.habits16.A.private B.widespreadC.localD.international17.A.simple B.hard C.dangerous D.pleasant18.A.change B.support C.know D.find19.A.suggestions B.examinationsC.plansD.experiences20.A.doubted B.developed C.proved D.reduced三、短文改错I was grateful that my mother pointed out one of my faults yesterday.Wherever I saw my friend owned something I liked,I will ask my mother to buy it for me.Every time my request turned down,I played the same trick,threaten to leave home.My mother gave up each time I threatened to dothat.Therefore,she was very angry last night.She blamed me for not being considerable and asked me to rethink our own behavior.I couldn’t believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew frightening.I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards.I was thankful that my mother made me to realize my mistakes.6限时规范练40(选修7Module4)一、【篇章导读】本文是说明文。
