【參考答案與解題思路】

■1.1

考查contraryo

解析：本題所涉句意為少鹽飲食對身體有害的發(fā)現與普遍流行的低鹽飲食有益健康的觀點相

反。becontraryto表示與…相反。

■2.G

考查intake

解析：研究人員發(fā)現無論一個人是否患有高血壓，低鈉的攝入量都會增加中風，心臟病和死

亡的風險。所以填名詞intake（攝入量）

■3.D

考查concern有關的短語

解析：本題考察詞組beconcernedabout（關心，在意）。整句意為，該研究繼續(xù)建議只有特定

的人群應該注意在他們的飲食中減少鈉的攝入量。

■4.B

考查question

解析：此處意為“這項研究也質疑了目前建議每個人都少鹽飲食的正確性”，故填question。

■5.K

考查moderation

解析：此處考查短語inmoderation（適度），意為“他強調適度食用鹽的建議適合于高血壓患

者“，故填moderationo

■6.E

考查offset

解析：根據前句低鈉飲食會適度降低血壓，但也會產生一些副作用，銜接上句，進一步說其

中一個副作用就是某些激素含量升高，這種消極作用會抵消任何的積極作用，故填。ffset（抵

消）。

■7.A

考查target

解析：本題考察詞組targetat（針對…，以...作為目標）。整句意為，他也強調減少食鹽攝入量

的努力應該針對那些容易得高血壓的人群和那些吃鹽過多的人。

■8.C

考查abnormal的副詞形式

解析：根據前句Mente不贊同目前在全世界所有國家降低鈉攝入量的策略，接著通過

However進行轉折，他接受在一些地區(qū)比如中國和中亞地區(qū)降低鹽攝入量的努力，因為這些

地區(qū)鹽的平均攝入量異常高。故填寫副詞abnormally（異常地）。

■9.J

考查recommend的過去分詞形式recommended

解析：此處意為“在肯尼亞，公共健康和衛(wèi)生部門建議食鹽攝入量降低到5克以下，這個食

鹽攝入量是被世界健康組織所推薦的。”故填recommend的過去分詞形式recommend表示被

推薦。

■10.H

考查correct的副詞形式correctly

解析：前一句說ElliottAntman批評了Menle的研究，本句意思是“ElliottAntman認為Menle

的研究并沒有正確地測量鈉的攝入量“故填correctly（正確地）。”
