6.The World Health Organization (WHO) planned to study the relationship between the eating habits of the people and the disease.Two doctors were chosen to make the study.They flew to Africa south of the Sahara and during the next two months visited ten countries.They found that serious diseases of poor eating,often mistaken for other diseases,existed in all parts of Africa.The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor.The diseased children are usually from one to four years old.As the illness progresses,the child's stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body.The skin changes color and may break out in open sores(疼痛).The hair changes color and starts to fall out.The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food,and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time.Stomach liquids are no longer produced.
The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat.Their mothers,after stopping their breastfeeding,gave them foods full of starches(淀粉)instead of greatly needed proteins.They found that the addition of milk to the food of the children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.
The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the disease-which has been killing thousands of children for centuries-was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago.The deaths of those children were mistakenly listed as due to other diseases.It was the WHO's work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America.

分析 本文是一篇新聞報道類閱讀,文章主要講述了世界衛(wèi)生組織的調(diào)查表明,蛋白質(zhì)營養(yǎng)不良造成了非洲大量的兒童死亡.針對這個狀況,WHO 采取了相應(yīng)的措施來挽救兒童的生命.
解答 62-65 BDCB
62.B細節(jié)理解題.從第二段的句子:The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat.Their mothers,after stopping their breastfeeding,gave them foods full of starches(淀粉)instead of greatly needed proteins.可知醫(yī)生推斷,在非洲許多地區(qū)的兒童都患有夸休可爾癥,其原因是缺乏乳品或肉品.他們的母親停止母乳喂養(yǎng)后,用淀粉類的食物來代替蛋白質(zhì).由此可知,kwashiorkor這種病是由于食品中缺乏蛋白質(zhì)造成的.故選B.
63.D細節(jié)判斷題.從第一段的句子:They found that serious diseases of poor eating,often mistaken for other diseases,existed in all parts of Africa.The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor.可知他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這種由不好的飲食導(dǎo)致的嚴(yán)重疾病,經(jīng)常被誤認為是其他疾病,而在非洲各地都存在這種疾病,它們之間很相似.由此可知,kwashiorkor很難被發(fā)現(xiàn)因為他的癥狀和其他的病沒什么不同.故選D.
64.C細節(jié)理解題.從第二段的句子:They found that the addition of milk to the food of the children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.可知治療這個病的簡單的方法是在食物中增加更多的肉和牛奶.故選C.
65.B標(biāo)題確定題.這篇文章講的是因為飲食不適當(dāng)引起kwashiorkor這種疾病,所以Kwashiorkor and Improper Eating Habits是最恰當(dāng)?shù)臉?biāo)題.故選B.
點評 閱讀這類文章時,也應(yīng)該在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)的前提下,主要注意細節(jié)信息.細節(jié)題題干都是相應(yīng)原文的變形(如同義改寫、詞性轉(zhuǎn)換等),因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處,再把原文和選項相比較.做題時,根據(jù)所提問題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達到事半功倍的效果.
