21、Diet containing lots of salt can contribute to increased levels of stress, a new study shows. Scientists found in studies of mice that a high-salt diet increased the levels of a stress hormone by 75 per cent. Experts hope the findings will encourage a review of public health policy around salt consumption, aiming at manufacturers reducing the amount of salt in processed food.
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 wellbeing. 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.”
【1】What are the findings expected to bring about eventually?
A．Manufacturers adding less salt to processed food.
B．People debating the policy on public health.
C．Decreased levels of stress hormones.
D．Reduced amount of processed food.
【2】What does the underlined word “ascertained” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Ignored.
B．Restored.
C．Reduced.
D．Confirmed.
【3】Which of the following may be a subject of further research?
A．What policy on salt should be.
B．How a high-salt intake affects blood pressure.
C．How much salt intake is appropriate.
D．Whether a high-salt intake causes anxiety.
【4】What may be a suitable little for the text?
A．Most people regularly take in too much salt.
B．Mental health is important to improving well being.
C．Diet containing much salt increases levels of stress.
D．Less than six grams of salt a day is recommended.
22、A Hungarian doctor is advising her lung disease patients to consider a non-traditional form of treatment: singing! And not just singing while making dinner or washing up at night. As part of their treatment, she wants her patients to sing in public as part of a choir (合唱队)!
The Reuters news agency reports that a new choir named “Breathing for the soul” was formed earlier this year. The group recently performed in the ballroom of a hotel in Budapest. The members of the choir come from all across Hungary. Many are sick with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺病), more commonly called COPD.
Speaking with Reuters, the choir members explained how singing has improved the quality of their lives. Seventy-four-year-old Maria Aranyi has been suffering with serious asthma, a breathing disorder, for over 10 years. Aranyi said that she never thought in her life that she would ever sing. But now, singing in the choir provides relief from what she call the “gray days”. She added that after singing she noticed that she could also breathe more easily.
Many lung disease patients and others with chronic disorders can become less involved with other people as they grow older. They may be unwilling to go to new places or to try new things. Over time if this continues, they can become more and more lonely.
Singing with others can be a way to break the cycle of loneliness. Singing with others is not easy. It takes a lot of practice and offers a challenge—both physical and mental. But the result—hearing your voice blend and harmonize with others—can be truly uplifting. And for most people, singing in a group is easier than singing alone. There is strength and a sense of well-being in numbers.
【1】What should the patients do according to the doctor’s suggestion?
A．Join the hospital choir.
B．Say no to singing along.
C．Try some new treatment.
D．Refuse conventional treatments.
【2】How did singing benefit Aranyi?
A．It gave her lungs a good workout.
B．She became fond of live performances.
C．It provided her with more leisure time.
D．She felt more enthusiastic about music.
【3】What does the underlined word “blend” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Rise.
B．Combine.
C．Become clearer.
D．Grow louder.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A．Breaking The Silence
B．Singing For Harmony
C．Breathing For The Soul
D．Involving Singing Together

26、请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
A video showing a traffic police officer pretending to be blind being denied permission to get on a bus with a guide dog has been drawing public attention and has led to heated online discussions about the lack of support and care for the visually impaired(视觉障碍人士). As shown in the video, wearing a blindfold, the officer wasn't allowed on the bus with the guide dog, and was told no dogs are allowed whether they're guide dogs or not. Some passengers also scolded the officer for making a scene and wasting their time, while the dog appeared very distressed.
The guide dog's owner Gao Zhipeng, who is visually impaired, told media Monday that this has been happening almost every day since he brought Taobao home in 2014，and it is the same when catching a cab. And each time they were refused, Taobao would sink into depression for days.
The guide dog being denied boarding is just the tip of the iceberg, compared to the various difficulties faced by the country's visually impaired population every day when they leave their home.
