29、inform通知;warn警告;talk谈论。根据上一句“benefits of eating fresh vegetables”可知是时刻提醒记得(remind)这些绿色“超级食品”给我们的身体带来的惊人益处。因此选A项。5.C考查动词辨析。在英国,为鼓励人们“每天吃5份果蔬”而发起的宣传活动已经进行(run)了好多年的时间。分析句意可知,是这种宣传活动进行了好多年。只有run才有“运转或进行”之意。其余三项plan计划,打算; aim瞄准;intend打算,都不符合题意,故选C项。6.D考查连词辨析。根据上文可知宣传活动持续了好多年是结果,原因就是因为(because)有证据表明,人们每天
30、至少食用5份80g的水果和蔬菜会对健康有很大益处。因此选D项。7.B考查名词辨析。根据上面第6小题的内容可知是说“人们每天至少食用5份80g的水果和蔬菜会对健康有很大益处(benefits)。” need需要; benefit 益处,利益;issue问题;risk危险。分析选项可知B项符合题意。故选B项。8.A考查名词辨析。diet日常饮食,education教育; work 工作;exercise锻炼,练习。根据上文的每天至少5种水果和蔬菜,可知是日常生活中,即“我仍在努力把这5份果蔬纳入到我的日常饮食(diet)中。”故选A。9.C考查固定搭配。tendency倾向,趋势;preferen

32、tasteless”因为蔬菜无味,人们不喜欢吃,因此研究人员一直在研究如何让蔬菜更具吸引力(attractive),故选B项。12.A考查名词辨析。choice选择;value价值;waste废物; judgment判断。他们分析了我们选择食物时的心理。根据下一句可知,是我们对食物的选择(choice)。分析选项可知A项正确。13.C考查动词辨析。confuse迷惑; disturb打扰; motivate使有动机,促动,激发;challenge挑战。句意:他们分析了我们选择食物时的心理,发现大部分人都是受味道的驱使。分析句意可知C项正确。14.D考查动词辨析。manage设法,经营; dec
