Reading (30%)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.In the early days of sea travel, seamen lived entirely on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a disease of the blood which causes swollen gums, pale white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion.On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew seriously ill. The men’s lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors’ diet and Captain Cook, who was to discover Australia and New Zealand, established the fact the scurvy could be avoided by provision of fresh fruit for the sailors.Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called 'vitamins'. Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with deficiencies of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase significantly our possibility of getting bad colds.The vitamins necessary for a health body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say during extended periods of religious fasting (禁食), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special provision to supply the missing vitamins.1. Scurvy is a disease which causes ________________.A. loss of bloodB. swollen limbsC. exhaustionD. bright red spots on the flesh2. A diet which contains nothing harmful __________________.A. may yet cause scurvyB. has plenty of vitaminsC. will usually result in serious diseaseD. always ensures good health3. Deficiencies of the various vitamins ________________.A. cause identical diseasesB. are not serious except in the case of vitamin CC. cause different diseasesD. are often caused by scurvy4. Fresh fruit and vegetables ________________.A. contain more vitamin C than any other foodB. decrease our resistance to coldsC. contain every kind of vitaminD. increase our possibility of getting bad colds5. A good mixed diet _____________________.A. normally contains enough vitaminsB. still needs supplementing with vitaminsC. is suitable for religious fastingD. is often difficult to arrangeQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.A strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats anything derived from animals. The main objection to vegetarianism（素食主义）on a long-term basis is the difficulty of getting enough protein --- the body-building element in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days of weeks (say, for religious reasons) you will have notice that you tend to get physically rather weak. You are glad when the fast（禁食）is over and you get your reward of a delicious meat meal.Proteins are built up from about twenty food elements called 'amino-acid' (氨基酸), which are found more abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of these amino-acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological（生理学的）point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism.The economic side of the question, though, must be considered. Vegetable food is much cheaper than animal food. However, since only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purposes, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams (克) of protein a day, has to consume a great bulk of food than his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it must be pointed out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day. (253 words)6. A strict vegetarian __________________.A. rarely eats animal productsB. sometimes eats eggsC. never eats any animal productsD. never eats protein7. We feel weak when we go without meat and other animal products_______________.A. because we are reducing our food amountB. because we do not get enough proteinC. because vegetables do not contain proteinD. unless we take plenty of exercise8. Proteins are built up from __________________.A. about twenty different foodsB. about twenty different vegetablesC. various fats and sugarsD. about twenty different amino-acids9. Physiologically, life-long vegetarianism may not be good because ______________.A. it makes people very thinB. the body must process too much wasteC. the farmer lose moneyD. vitamin-deficiency diseases may result10. One thing in favor of vegetarianism is that ____________________.A. vegetable food is easier to digestB. animal food is less expensiveC. vegetable food is cheaperD. it is good for the digestionQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Whether or not vegetarianism should be advocated for adults, it is definitely unsatisfactory for growing children, who need more protein than they can get from vegetable sources. A lacto-vegetarian (part milk, part vegetable) diet, which includes milk and milk products such as cheese, can, however, be satisfactory as long as enough milk and milk products are consumed.Meat and cheese are the best sources of usable animal protein and next come milk, fish and eggs.Slow and careful cooking of meat makes it more digestible and assists in the breaking down of the protein content by the body. When cooking vegetables, however, the vitamins, and in particular the water-soluble（溶解于水的）vitamin C, should not be lost through over-cooking. With fruit, vitamin loss is too small to be important, because the cooking water is normally eaten along with the fruit, and acids in the fruit help to hold in the vitamin C.Most nutrition（营养）experts today would recommend a balanced diet containing elements of all foods, largely because of our need for sufficient vitamins. Vitamins were first called 'added food factors' since it was discovered in 1906, that most foods contain, besides carbohydrates (碳水化合物), fats, minerals and water, these other substances necessary for health. The most common deficiencies in Western diets today are those of vitamins. The answer is variety in food. A well-balanced diet having sufficient amounts of milk, fruit, vegetables, eggs, and meat, fish or chickens (i.e. any good protein source) usually provides enough minimum daily requirements of all the vitamins.
