For one thing,nutrition or food science is really new research.It is not yet
reliable.And,there’s lots of money to be made in the food business.So companies
will say their food is healthy even if it isn’t.
In 2011,the U.S. government put out dietary guidelines about cholesterol(胆
固醇) and total fat.The panel of scientists wrote that a healthy diet is “lower
in red and processed meat” because these meats lead to higher death rates from cancer
and heart disease.After strong objections from the meat industry,that caution was
dropped in 2016.

Passage Three
As the national attention to fake news and the debate over what to do about it
continue,one place where many are looking for solutions is in the classroom.
In Scott Bedley’s version of Simon Says,what keep you in the game is to decide
correctly whether a news story is real or not.To start off the game,Bedley sends
his fifth-graders at Plaza Vista School in Irvine,California,an article to read on
their laptops.He gives them about three minutes to make their decision—they have
to read the story carefully,examine its source and use their judgment.Those who think
the article is false stand up.The “true” believers stay in their seats.
Bedley says he’s been trying to teach his students for a while to look carefully
at what they’re reading and where it comes from.He’s got a seven-point checklist
his students can follow.
Bedley also teamed up recently with Todd Flory at Calamus Wheatland Elementary
School in Calamus,Iowa,to do a fake news challenge via Skype.Flory’s fourth-graders
chose two real article and wrote a fake article of their own.Then,they presented
them to Bedley’s class in California.
The fifth-graders decided which article out of the three was fake.Most
importantly,they had to explain why they thought it was fake.Otherwise,no points.
Flory says writing the fake news article was more difficult for his students
than they expected because they had to make it believable.“It really hammered home
the idea to them that fake news doesn’t have to be too eye-catching,”he says.
“It can be a very subtle(微妙 的 ) change,but that subtle change can have big
consequences.”
26.What is probably Bedley’s version of Simon Says( )?

Passage Four
For a long time,people have disagreed about whether golf is a sport or a game.
On one side of the argument,people say that golf meets the dictionary definition
of a sport,because it is a physical,athletic activity.They add that golf is
recognized as a sport by sporting goods companies,athletic groups,fans,and the
media.Also,golf’s inclusion in the Olympics in 2016 is more proof that it is sport.
On the other side,people say that golf is a game,not a sport.They say golf is
not a very physical activity and can be played well by people who are overweight
or injured.Also,golf was only recently added to the Olympics.For more than 100 years
it was not included in the Olympic Games.
For many,the Olympic Games serve as a measurement for whether an activity should
be called a sport.Golf was first included in the Olympics in 1900.However,it was
removed shortly thereafter because of a lack of participation and confict with other
golf events.Through the years,there were several attempts to bring golf back to the
Olympics.It wasn’t until the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil that
golf returned.
Some say the return of golf does not prove that it is a sport.Rather,it only
proves that the Olympics wanted to benefit from the star power of famous golfers
like Tiger Woods.
The disagreement continues today.Those who think golf is a sport point to pro-golfers
like Woods,who are strong and fit.Those who disagree point to golfers like John
Daly.He is a successful pro-golfer who once had health problems.So is golf a
sport?The answer depends on who you ask—and whether that person owns a set of golf
clubs.
31.All the following evidence is used to prove that golf is a sport EXCEPT ( ).
A.professional training
B.Olympic Games
C.dictionary definition
D.media recognition

B.indicate the special function of golf
C.prove that golf is more of a game than of a sport

正确答案:C
33.Which of the following statements about golf and the Olympics is true( ) ?
A.Golf was first included in Olympics several years ago.
B.Golf has been in and out of the Olympics a dozen times.
C.Golf was brought back to the Olympics over 100 years ago.
D.Golf was excluded from the Olympics for more than a century.
正确答案:D
34.According to Paragraph 5,the inclusion of golf in the Olympics ( ).
