And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates.The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce (he risk of heart disease.However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product.Thc U. S.Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste”. Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.4 . The new research questions whether organic food .A. should replace traditional foodB. has been overpriced by farmersC. is grown with less harmful chemicalsD. is really more nutritious and healthier 5. Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that .A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart diseaseB. traditional food was grown with more natural methodsC. both organic and traditional food they examined were safeD. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic foodWhich of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?A.

What do wc know about the 12 selected ambassadors?A.They all have mobility problems.B.They communicate by sign language.C.They do scientific research in the lab.D.They perform tasks in weightlessness.15. What docs Brenda Williamson think of the project?A.Meaningful.B.Successful.C.Unrealistic.D.Challenging.二、七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分125分)Weight loss is a hard topic.Lots of people aren't satisfied with (heir present weight, but most people aren't sure how to change it.You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines or on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you. 16So what should you do about your weight control?17 The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian (营养学家).j_8 If it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started.19 People who lose weight quickly by crash (速成的)dieting or other extreme measures usually gain back all of (he pounds they lost, because they haven't permanently changed their habits.Therefore, the best weight management ways are those that you can maintain for a lifetime.Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than large ones.
