Ⅱ.阅读理解
Eating a diet high in processed food(加工食品)increases the risk of depression,research suggests.What's more,people 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(公务员)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 wholefood,which includes 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 food.
Study author Dr.Archana Singh Manoux pointed out there was a chance that the finding could be explained by a 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 McCulloch,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(饱和的)fats and sugars.
研究表明,吃加工食品多的人更容易患抑郁症,而常吃全天然食品的人,患抑郁症的风险较低。
1.The text is mainly about________.
A.the increasingly unhealthy diet of the UK population
B.the link between processed food and depression
C.the relationship between physical and mental health
D.a healthy diet largely based on wholefood
答案:B 解析:主旨大意题。文章第一句话点明了文章的中心内容:研究表明,若饮食偏重于加工食品,人更容易患抑郁症,故B项正确。
2.What do we know about the participants?
A.They are of different ages from young to old.
B.They have been eating a less healthy diet these years.
C.Most of them prefer wholefood to processed food.
D.Those who ate wholefood generally were happier in the long term.
答案:D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Those who ate the most wholefood had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood.”可知,从长远角度看,与吃天然食品少的人相比,那些常吃天然食品的人患抑郁症的几率要低26%,即从长远来说常吃天然食品的人会更加快乐。
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean diet.
B.The Mediterranean diet is the most healthy in the world.
C.Many studies have been done on the Mediterranean diet before.
D.The Mediterranean diet is not good for depression.
答案:A 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“...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,如果住在英国,采用地中海式饮食方式的可能性不高,因此A项正确。
4.Dr.Andrew McCulloch agrees that________.
A.our diets are closely related to our mental health
B.the present study needs more facts and other
information
C.the UK population will become ill in the near future
D.more saturated fats and sugars should be taken in
答案:A 解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知答案。
