It’s the dieting fashion that is sweeping the world, and encourages fasting (禁食) for two days of the week. But does it work?
People are starving themselves to lose weight, with a dieting trend known as the “fast diet” growing in popularity.
The method is also known as the 5:2 diet, and consists of eating normally for five days of a week and cutting calories to about 25 percent of normal intake during other two days. Men consume just 600 calories on the two fast days, while women are limited to 500 calories.
Notably, the two fasting days should not be back-to-back. The dieter should have at least one normal eating day in between.
In the best-selling book The Fast Diet: Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and Live Longer with the Simple Secret of Intermittent (断断续续的) Fasting by Dr. Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer, the two authors claim that the 5:2 diet not only promotes weight loss, but also benefits health, offering protection from disease, improved cognitive (认知的) function and increased lifespan.
The diet originated in the United Kingdom and became popular in the United States. Now, it is gaining popularity among the Chinese middle-class.
Zhong Minghui, who is 178 cm tall and used to weigh 100 kilograms, finds fasting effective in weight control. He works in the sales department of a trade company and used to drink and eat a lot after work. After sticking to the fasting diet for five months, he managed to lose about 20 kilograms.
“Actually I did not exactly rely on the 5:2 diet to lose weight. My fasting was more extreme. I almost completely cut off my supper every day and only ate some fruit. I also used an app to calculate the calories in the food I ate and was cautious of not eating any high-calorie food. I did about an hour’s aerobic exercise (有氧运动) every day. Fasting is definitely effective, but I think sports also help,” he says.
“I do not really believe that fasting is the magical cure-all (灵丹妙药), but my high blood sugar has improved,” he adds.
The US Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says that although there is evidence that intermittent fasting diets may help prevent chronic disease, more research is needed.
Han Ting, a clinic nutritionist of Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital, says that people who suffer diabetes (糖尿病) or eating disorders, pregnant women, kids, teens and frail seniors should not try fasting. She recommends a regular low-calorie diet, which is safer and less risky for health. When on a fasting diet, on the weekly fasting days, Han recommends low-fat, low-sugar, and low-protein food, such as vegetables, yogurt, non-fat milk, shellfish and fruits with high dietary fiber (食用纤维).
1.What does the underlined word “back-to-back” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Continuous. B. Different.
C. Vegetarian. D. Fatty.
2.What can we infer from what Zhong Minghui said in paragraph 8?
A. He strictly relied on the 5:2 diet to lose weight.
B. He used an app to calculate how much sport he played.
C. Fasting and sports helped him a lot when he lost weight.
D. In order to lose weight he used to do gymnastic exercise.
3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Han thinks people who suffer diabetes should try a fasting diet.
B. A clinic nutritionist says that it’s safer to have a low-calorie diet.
C. Han Ting recommends that everyone should have a fasting diet.
D. Hang Ting says only a fasting diet can help people keep healthy.
4.Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Fast diet B. How to stay thin
C. Eating to stay healthy D. The magical cure-all

In our fast world of phones, fax machines and computers, the old-fashioned art of letter writing is at risk of disappearing altogether. 1. There is the excitement of its arrival, the pleasure of seeing who it is from and, finally, the enjoyment of the contents.
Letter writing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It probably began with the little notes I would write to my mother. My mother, also, always insisted I write my own thank-you letters for Christmas and birthday presents. 2..
When I left home at 18 to train as a doctor in London, I would write once a week, and so would my mother. Occasionally my father would write and it was always a joy to receive his long, amusing letters. 3. Of course, we also made phone calls but it is the letters that I remember most.
There were also letters from my boyfriend. In our youth he had to work or study away at some time and we were only able to stay in touch by letter. 4. I found that I could often express myself more easily in writing than by talking.
I love the letters that come with birthday or Christmas cards. Notes are appreciated, but how much better to have a year’s supply of news! And it’s better still when it’s an airmail envelope with beautiful stamps.
5. Like my mother before me, I insist they write their own thank-you letters. My daughter writes to me little letters, just as I did to my mother. I strongly urge readers not to allow letter writing to become another “lost art”.
A.Poor handwriting can spoil (破坏) your enjoyment of a letter.
B.I am pleased that my children are carrying on the tradition.
C.We had been writing to each other for a long time but never met.
D.It didn’t matter how short or untidy they were as long as they were letters.
E.But instead of harming the relationship, letter writing seemed to improve them.
F.Yet, to me, receiving a letter cannot be matched by any form of communication.
G.The letters from him contained just everyday events concerning my parents and their friends.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Rome, Paris and New York are the world’s top fashion cities, all of which have produced some of the top trends, from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes. But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that they have enforced?
In April 2016, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun, because they were all extremely skinny. Banning ads due to the models’ extreme figures isn’t new. The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason. In France, it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor’s no providing that they are at a healthy weight.
So what is the healthy weight for models? Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, they weigh 23 less.
People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty, and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways. People may think that they are overweight, due to the images of models’ thin figures. They see something wrong with their bodies whether they are overweight or not. This is a key factor in a lowered body image, low self-esteem, depression and possibly even eating disorders.
I’m not blaming the fashion industry by any means. It’s not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs. I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry. By banning photos and videos, speaking out against them and pushing for doctor’s notes from the models, it’s pushing for the ideas that the traditional fashion industry’s body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.
1.According to the text, why was one of Gucci’s ads banned?
A. Because the models didn’t act according to the rule
B. Because its models are much too thin.
C. Because none of its models had a doctor’s note
D. Because its models were dancing in an unhealthy way
2.We can infer from the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3 that .
A. many women on a diet to become models
B. people don’t know why models weigh less
C. models are becoming thinner with time going by
D. the healthy weight for models hasn’t been decided .
3.What does the fourth paragraph mainly show?
A. The changes in the standard of beauty B. The benefits of becoming thin figures.
C. The negative effects of models images D. people’s attitudes towards models’ images
4.What is the author’s tone of writing this passage?
A. Objective B. Hopeful.
C. Critical. D. Humorous.
