Unit 5 Revealing nature课时素养检测十九　Unit 5　Period 3Ⅰ. 阅读理解　　Those who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas cause the body to make lots of insulin(胰岛素), and insulin causes fat growth. How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food becomes sugar in our bloodstream. How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数),or GI rating tells us. Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered high GI foods,leading to faster sugar development. Bananas have a GI of 62,which is considered low. Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone,but it is especially hard for diabetics(糖尿病患者). A study looked at how the starch(淀粉) from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics. After four weeks of a diet high in bananas,diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet. They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet. What’s more,bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes,diabetes and cancers. Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer. Bananas are also a rich source of fiber,which has been shown to help weight loss. Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber. Skins from green bananas can be taken and,after removing the stem and dark tip,cut into small pieces 23 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish. When you eat the skins,be sure you are eating organic bananas. The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides,but the skins are not. 【语篇概述】香蕉是人们生活中常见的水果,它除了含有丰富的营养,还有许多不为人所知的药用价值。1. What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 1&2?A. Bananas are likely to make people fat. B. Insulin determines the amount of sugar. C. Low GI foods can turn into sugar more slowly. D. The faster the food becomes sugar,the less insulin. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二段中“How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index. . . ”可知血糖指数高的食物往往能更快地转化成糖分,反之,血糖指数低的食物较慢地转化成糖分。2. What does the underlined word “lowering” in Para. 4 mean?A. increase　　B. prevent　　C. keep　　D. reduce【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据题意,lowering 意味着减少。3. What is discussed in the last paragraph?A. The use of banana skins. B. The benefits of banana skins. C. The importance of banana skins. 　　D. The ways of choosing organic bananas. 【解析】选A。主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容,尤其是“. . . can be made into a tea or added to a dish. . . ”可知本段主要讲的是香蕉皮的用途。4. In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?A. Education. B. Health. C. Culture. D. Science. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。文章讲的是香蕉不仅有助于减肥,还能有效降低人们患中风,糖尿病甚至癌症的风险,而且香蕉皮也有用途。因此,最可能出现在报纸的健康专栏。Ⅱ. 完形填空　　Have you ever experienced a moment when everything seems in a mess?

Some animals seem to benefit from having a chance to gather more food before winter,and from expending less energy in daily survival mode. Others,like snowshoe hares,are put at center stage in predators’ (捕食者) view when they lack snow as a protective color to trick their predators— not a good thing for them,of course. Black bears,on the other hand,have been keeping busy gathering nuts and apples,when they would normally have settled into their winter homes by now. Vermont and Massachusetts officials have asked residents to wait till snow falls to take out their bird feeders for the sake of safety,the article said. “We suggest waiting for 6 or more inches of snow that lasts before taking out your bird feeders,especially if you have been visited in the past by bears or if there are sightings of bears in your neighborhood,” Forrest Hammond,Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s bear biologist,said in the article. “Due to lack of snow and frozen ground,birds are able to seek food in fields and forests for their natural foods. ”Snow amounts can also determine how comfortable bears are and how quickly they consume their accumulated fat during hibernation (冬眠),noted Hammond in the article. This is because snow covers and traps them in their winter homes,and also hides them from predators. 【语篇概述】温暖的天气使得本该下雪的北美地区没有下雪,这对当地的动物们造成了很大影响。1. What may upset snowshoe hares because of El Nino?A. Their being caught more easily. B. Their failing to gather more food. C. Their consuming more energy. D. Their losing sight of their enemies. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第二段“Others,like snowshoe hares,are put at center stage in predators’ view when they lack snow as a protective color to trick their predators— not a good thing for them,of course. ”可知,因为没有雪去掩盖白色的毛皮,使得它们暴露在捕食者的眼下,所以容易被捕食,故选A。2. Why did the officials ask people to keep bird feeders until snow falls?A. They may disturb bears. B. Birds’ food can be found during winter. C. For the safety of bears. D. To avoid attracting bears. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。第三段开头提到往年这个时候,黑熊通常都已经待在冬眠的窝里了,但现在它们却忙着收集坚果和苹果,后文说为安全起见,Vermont and Massachusetts两地的政府官员要求居民等待直到降雪以后才可把他们的喂鸟器拿出来(喂鸟)可知,暂时不把喂鸟器拿出来是为了不招来熊。故选 D。3. What do the bear biologist’s words indicate?A. Warm weather benefits birds feeding. B. Bears are common nowadays. C. Bears live mainly on birds in winter. D. A heavy snow is on the way. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Due to lack of snow and frozen ground,birds are able to seek food in fields and forests for their natural foods. ”可知由于缺乏雪和冻土,鸟类可以在田野和森林中觅食,这是暖冬的好处,省去鸟类冬天无食可捕之烦恼。故选A。4. Which of the following is the proper title for the passage?A. Warm Weather Helps Animals SurviveB. Snow Amounts Determine Animals’ Winter LifeC. Lack of Snow Affects North American AnimalsD. Measures Should Be Taken To Protect Wildlife【解析】选C。主旨大意题。根据文章第一段Warm weather brought by El Nino has had mixed effects on animals in usually snowy places in North America,including New England,according to an Associated Press article. 可知,这篇文章讲述的是温暖的天气对北美地区的动物们的影响,故选C。Ⅱ. 语法填空　　阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。 Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?In 1969,the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River Cleveland,Ohio.
