The recommended salt intake for adults is less than six grams a day but most people regularly eat about nine grams.This can contribute to higher blood pressure, which increases the risks of heart attacks, strokes and dementia. While effects on the heart and circulatory (循环) system have been ascertained, little was known about the impact of a high-salt diet on a person's behaviour.To study this, experts from the University of Edinburgh used mice, who ordinarily have a low-salt diet, and gave them high-salt food to reflect the typical intake of humans. They found that not only did resting stress hormone levels increase, but the mice's hormone response to environmental stress was double that of mice that had a normal diet.Salt intake increased the activity of genes that produce the proteins in the brain which control how the body responds to stress. Experts say further studies are already underway to understand if a high-salt intake leads to other behavioural changes such as anxiety and aggression.Matthew Bailey, professor of Renal Physiology at the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Cardiovascular Science, said，“We are what we eat and understanding how high-salt food changes our mental health is an important step to improving well-being.We know that eating too much salt damages our heart, blood vessels (血管) and kidneys.This study now tells us that high salt in our food also changes the way our brain handles stress.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，含盐过高的饮食会增加人的压力。 1．What are the findings expected to bring about eventually?

Meanwhile, since they are convenient and quick, they also replace fiber foods important for maintaining the health and balance of bacteria in your gut microbiome，” he added, “which is particularly important for brain health and reducing risk of age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer's disease.” The study, presented at the 2022 Alzheimer's Association International Conference, followed over 10,000 Brazilians for 10 years.“In Brazil, ultra-processed foods make up 25% to 30% of total calorie intake. It is not very different from many other Western countries，” said co-author Dr Suemoto.Ultra-processed foods are defined as “industrial formulations of food substances that contain little or no whole foods and typically include flavorings, colorings and other chemical additives，” according to the study. “People consuming over 20% of daily calories from processed foods had a 28% faster decline in global cognition and a 25% faster decline in executive functioning compared to people who ate less than 20%，” said study co-author Natalia.Those in the study who ate the most ultra-processed foods were “more likely to be younger, women, White, had higher education and incomes, and were more likely to have never smoked，” the study found. “People need to know they should cook more，” Suemoto said.“And it's worth it because you're going to protect your heart and guard your brain，” she added. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，吃更多的超加工食品可能会导致整体认知能力下降。 5．What does the underlined word “compelling” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Whoever never cooks is sure to develop Alzheimer. B．Ultra-processed foods only affect your executive function. C．Tanzi is the first to find the problem with ultra-processed foods.

A．An old beggar.　　　 B．A heavy smoker. C．A young professor. D．A low-income man. 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“more likely to be younger, women, White, had higher education and incomes, and were more likely to have never smoked”可知，一位年轻的教授可能会吃更多的超加工食品。 √ 8．What's the main idea of this passage? A．Ultra-processed foods can harm your health. B．Fiber foods can reduce the risk of Alzheimer. C．Fiber foods may maintain the balance of bacteria. D．Ultra-processed foods will lead to cognitive decline. √ 解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Now, a new study has revealed eating more ultra-processed foods may contribute to overall cognitive decline”可知，本文主要介绍了超加工食品会导致认知能力下降。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2024·广东实验中学模拟)Ahh ...Fish, chips and mushy peas! There is nothing more British than fish and chips.Freshly cooked, boiling hot fish and chips, topped with salt and seasoned with vinegar, packed in newspaper and eaten out-of-doors on a cold and wintry day — it simply cannot be beaten! 9 Both Lancashire and London claim to be the first to invent this famous meal.Chips were a cheap, basic food of the industrial north while fried fish was introduced in London's East End. 10 So was born our national dish of fish and chips! 11 Mr Lees sold fish and chips from a wooden shelter in the market.Later he moved the business to a permanent shop across the road.However in London, it is said that Joseph Malin, a Jewish immigrant, opened a fish and chip shop in Cleveland Way within the sound of Bow Bells in the 1860s. Fish and chip shops were originally small family businesses, often run from the front room of the house and were commonplace by the late 19th century.Through the latter part of the 19th century and well into the 20th century, the fish and chip trade expanded greatly to satisfy the needs of the growing industrial population of Great Britain.Fish and chips became vital to the diet of the ordinary people. 12 In 1999, the British consumed nearly 300 million servings of fish and chips.That equates to six servings for every man, woman and child in the country. 13 That's eight for every one Burger King restaurant, making British Fish and Chips the nation's favourite take-away. A．It quickly became a favourite of the workers. B．People soon decided to put fried fish and chips together. C．John Lees owned a restaurant and sold the famous pairing. D．So how, when and where did this British dish come about? E．There are now around 8,500 fish and chip shops across the UK. F．Some shops had to employ doormen to control the queue at busy times. G．The first fish and chip shop in Lancashire is thought to have opened in 1863. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英式美食炸鱼和薯条的诞生过程。 9．解析：选D　根据下文的介绍可知，此处是讲述英式美食炸鱼和薯条的诞生过程，故D项“那么，这道英国菜是如何、什么时候、从哪里传来的呢？”衔接下文，符合语境。 10．解析：选B　根据空后的“So”可知，空处与下文形成因果关系，由下文的“炸鱼和薯条就这样诞生了！”可知，B项“人们很快决定把炸鱼和薯条放在一起”符合语境。 11．解析：选G　由下文可知，本段主要讨论的是第一家售卖炸鱼和薯条的商店，故G项“兰开夏郡的第一家炸鱼和薯条店据说于1863年开业”符合语境。 12．解析：选F　由上文可知，炸鱼和薯条被大众所接受并在人们的饮食结构中占据越来越重要的地位，故F项“有些商店在繁忙时不得不雇用门卫来控制排队”承接上文，符合语境。 13．解析：选E　上文提到英国人都喜欢吃炸鱼和薯条，由此可推断，在英国有很多的炸鱼和薯条店，故E项“现在在英国大约有8 500家炸鱼和薯条店”承接上文，符合语境。 Ⅲ.完形填空 (2024·广东六校联考)Although I enjoyed my new life and the time it freed up, there always seemed to be something missing.
