题文

The World Health Organization (WHO) planned to study the relationship between the eating habits of the people and the dia. Two doctors were chon to make the study. They flew to Africa south of the Sahara and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found that rious dias of poor eating, often mistaken for other dias, existed in all parts of Africa. The dias were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor. The diad children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progress, the child’s stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes color and may break out in open sores（疼痛）. The hair changes color and starts to fall out. The patient los all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced.The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa becau of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breastfeeding, gave them foods full of starches（淀粉）instead of greatly needed proteins. They found that the addition of milk to the food of the children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the dia—which has been killing thousands of children for centuries—was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago. The deaths of tho children were mistakenly listed as due to other dias. It was the WHO’s work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America.小题1:From the passage we learn that kwashiorkor is a dia caud by __________ .A．poor living conditionsB．lack of proteins in foodC．breastfeedingD．lack of food小题2: It is difficult to discover kwashiorkor becau ____________________ .A．it has no symptoms at allB．it is hard to identify signs of itC．it doesn’t last long enough for careful obrvationD．it is hardly different from other dias小题3:What is mentioned as a simple but reasonable way of curing this dia?A．Taking a special medicine.B．Avoiding any food containing starch.C．Having more meat or milk.D．Taking medicine full of proteins.小题4:What’s the best title for the article?A．Milk and Meat Are Daily NecessitiesB．Kwashiorkor and Improper Eating HabitsC．A New Form of Illness in Africa and Latin AmericaD．A Ca of Eating Habits 题型：未知难度：其他题型
