2018-2019学年浙江省金华市十校联考高二（上）期末英语试卷 一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分） A Right now， social media is flooded with photos of people with their celery（芹菜）juice． They say that the green drink cured them of headaches， skin conditions， and cleared poisons in their bodies， and left them with a feeling of pure joy． Celery is suddenly in the spotlight． It's got a respectable amount of vitamin C and B， and has a little bit of fiber． It's full of water and refreshing． I've no doubt that celery juice helps people feel more fresh and juicy in the morning． And I know from personal experience that a green drink is a nice， light way to start the day． But the magic statements about celery juice leave me more than a little doubt． If celery juice did， indeed， wash viruses out of the body and cure headaches， wouldn't the world be free of headache medicine？ And the medical explanations surrounding celery juice's powers just don't make sense一for instance， that drinking celery juice increases bile（胆汁） or that it "restores your central nervous system"． Huh？ There are also drawbacks of juicing in general． It's quicker to drink juice than it is to eat fruits and vegetables， so it may feel less satisfying than eating whole food． You also lose the fiber when juicing． Celery juice is made by putting the stalks （茎秆） through a juicer or processing them in a regular fruit mixer and straining the mixture through cheesecloth or a nut-milk bag， leaving all the fiber behind． It's stated that removing the fiber from celery makes the healing powers stronger， but unlike celery juice， fiber is actually proven to be good for you． The benefits range from keeping you regular to lowering blood pressure． To get these fiber benefits， throw a stalk of celery into your favorite fruit drink， so you're getting the whole vegetable， not just the juice． My two cents： If you want to try celery juice， there aren't drawbacks beyond the cost and the taste． But don't set your expectations for healing too high． According to the author， celery juice _____ ． A. is only a kind of green drink B. has great practical values in use C. can cure people of some diseases D. contains less fiber than other fruit juice What is the author's purpose of writing the text？ _____ A. To show the value of celery． B. To promote a new kind of drink． C. To persuade people to drink green drink． D. To show his opinion on drinking celery juice． What can be a suitable title for this passage？ _____ A. Is It Right to Be a Vegetarian？ B. Is Celery Juice A Magic Cure？ C. Is Social Media Telling the Truth？ D. Is Celery Juice Better Than Celery？ B More than 26% of UK homes do not have fast enough broadband（宽带）to deal with a typical family s Internet needs， such as downloading films and watching series on Netflix， according to a report． These households are getting by on speeds of less than 10Mbps-the level the media regulator Ofcom says is the basic ... ...
