Direct comparison: In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetable scored better on antioxidant-type compounds including Vitamin C, polyphenols and anthocyanins (多酚和
43、花青素), a study found. Her team found frozen broccoli had higher levels of Vitamin C. However, fresh food scored better on polyphenols, which are thought to help prevent cancer.32.

45、riorate” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Remain the same. B. Grow better.C. Grow worse. D. Die out. 35. What is more helpful in preventing cancer?A. Vitamin C. B. Frozen fruit and vegetables. C. Anthocyanins. D. Fresh fruit and vegetables.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Impro

If you have plans to go away during the summer, encourage your children to read up on the destination and make suggestions about what to see and
90、 do. If your plans are in your own neighborhood, let your kids read up on local stories and places of interest that they would show to a visitor.

91、ndards that call for students to read more non-fiction. Kids tend to really love non-fiction, especially those who are more unwilling readers. Summer is the perfect time to learn about something new by reading books, magazines and articles on topics that add to world knowledge. The more background information students have, the better they do in science, social studies, the arts and health education classes. In school, its necessary to dip into a lot of topics, but during the summer, kids can take a deep dive into one subject and may even develop life-long interests.- 17 - 版权所有高考资源网
