Health care experts have long drawn attention to the problems of eating too much salt.There is strong evidence that a diet high in salt can lead to raised blood pressure.Since high blood pressure is a major factor in heart disease,it makes sense to cut down on the salt people eat.

In the past,food contained very little salt,and people added it to their food at the table.Very few people add salt this way nowadays.However,the salt content of processed foods has gone up dramatically.It's now estimated that over three-quarters of the salt in the average diet comes from processed foods,eaten without our being aware of it.

Salt is added to food partly to extend shelf-life,but more often it's dropped in to make up for the flavor lost in the manufacturing process.This is especially true of ready meals and highly processed foods,but it's also true of such basic food as biscuits,soups,and even bread.Much mass-produced bread,for instance,contains so much salt-half a gram for every hundred grams of bread-that it's officially classified by the UK government as high-salt food.Salt has to be added to the bread because fast production cuts down the time for the flavor to develop.Without added salt,the bread would taste like paper.

In the UK,the government has launched a campaign to cut down on the salt people eat.The UK Food Standards Agency argues that nearly half of the UK's population eat too much salt-9.5g a day on average.Its aim is to bring down the average to 6g a day.

The idea is to cut the salt content in 85 key food categories such as bread,meat,and cakes.

1.What is the main reason for reducing salt in food?

A To improve the flavor of food.

B To decrease the time for processing food.

C To extend the shelf-life of food.

D To protect people against heart diseases.

【答案】D

【考情點(diǎn)撥】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】文章第一段第二、三句提到，強(qiáng)有力的證據(jù)表明，高鹽飲食會(huì)導(dǎo)致血壓升高，由于高血壓是引發(fā)心臟病的一個(gè)主要因素，因此人們應(yīng)減少鹽的攝入量。故選D。

2.What can be inferred about people's use of salt in the past?

A People used salt to control blood pressure.

B People ate much salt in their average diet.

C People were clear about the harmful effect of salt.

D People didn't eat so much salt as we do today.

【答案】D

【考情點(diǎn)撥】推理判斷題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】文章第二段提到，過(guò)去食物中的含鹽量很低，人們只會(huì)在做飯的時(shí)候加入適量的鹽，而現(xiàn)在的加工食品的含鹽量過(guò)高，人們?nèi)粘ｏ嬍持谐^(guò)四分之三的鹽來(lái)自加工食品。因此過(guò)去人們鹽的攝入量比現(xiàn)在要少。故選D。

3.Which of the following is classified as high-salt food by the UK government?

A Mass-produced bread.

B Light-cooked meat.

C Sweet biscuits.

D Fresh vegetables.

【答案】A

【考情點(diǎn)撥】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】文章第三段第三句提到，批量生產(chǎn)的面包含鹽量很高，每100克面包含半克鹽，因此批量生產(chǎn)的面包被英國(guó)政府正式列為高鹽食品。故選A。

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A Salt and food flavor.

B Salt and people's lifestyle.

C Salt and food processing.

D Salt and people's health.

【答案】D

【考情點(diǎn)撥】主旨大意題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】文章第一段提到攝入過(guò)多的鹽可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致高血壓、心臟病。第二段提到現(xiàn)在人們鹽的攝入量比過(guò)去多。第三段提到在食品中添加鹽，部分是為了延長(zhǎng)保質(zhì)期，但更多時(shí)候是為了彌補(bǔ)在制造過(guò)程中失去的味道。第四段提到英國(guó)政府發(fā)起了一項(xiàng)減少人們鹽的攝入量的運(yùn)動(dòng)。由此可知，文章主要討論了鹽的攝入量與人們的健康相關(guān)。故選D。

雖然時(shí)間緊迫，但只要大家根據(jù)自己的強(qiáng)弱項(xiàng)合理安排復(fù)習(xí)計(jì)劃，堅(jiān)持每天做幾道真題，必定能夠在成人高考專(zhuān)升本的考試中取得理想的成績(jī)。努力吧，成功屬于那些敢于拼搏的人!
