Reading Comprehension (Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.)

Ask a mom if she’s happier now that she has a child, and she’ll usually say yes. But psychologists who study happiness often report a different picture. Being the mom of a young child (especially one under 3) is rewarding, but also a real strain on your mood. “Moment to moment, you may be tired and sometimes angry, though kids do bring joy,” says Peter Ubel, M.D., a professor of medicine and psychology at the University of Michigan. In fact, on their list of enjoyable activities, moms rank childcare lower than eating, exercising, or watching TV, according to a University of Michigan study, and kid care rates only slightly higher than housework, working, or commuting!

One reason for the difference between moms and experts: selective memory. When psychologists ask moms in a general way if they like spending time with their kids, the overwhelming majority say they do because they’re thinking of fun activities like reading a book or playing in the park. When they’re specifically asked to describe their actual daily routine, they remember the hours they spent struggling to get their child dressed or ready for bed.

Maybe, though, the psychologists are missing the intensity of joy that time spent with your child can bring. Luckily, those moments can overcome your daily frustrations. “Happiness is more than just that smiley feeling,” says Karen Reivich, Ph.D., a research associate in the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. “It’s also feeling a connection to something larger than yourself. When people are in service to something bigger, they describe their lives as filled with meaning.”

16、Which of the following best summarizes Peter Ubel’s opinion of being the mom of a young child?

· A.It makes the mom exhausted.

· B.It is both rewarding and stressful.

· C.It makes the mom easily irritated.

· D.It is a frustrating experience.

正确答案：

B

细节题。根据文章第一段第三、四句可知，成为一个小孩子(尤其是3岁以下的孩子)的妈妈是值得的，但对她们的情绪来说也是很有压力的。密歇根大学的彼得·乌贝尔博士也提到，尽管孩子们确实会给妈妈们带来快乐，但时不时地，她们可能会感到疲倦，有时甚至会生气。B项(它是值得的，也是有压力的)符合题意。A项(它使妈妈很疲惫)和C项(它使得妈妈们很容易生气)说法比较片面，故排除。D项(这是一次令人沮丧的经历)文章未提及，故排除。故本题选B。

[参考译文]

问一位母亲有了孩子后，她是否会更快乐，通常她会说“是的”。但是研究幸福的心理学家经常会给出不同的答案。成为一个小孩子(尤其是3岁以下的孩子)的妈妈是值得的，但对你的情绪来说也是很有压力的。密歇根大学医学和心理学教授彼得·乌贝尔(Peter Ubel)医学博士说：“尽管孩子们确实会给你带来快乐，但时不时地，你可能会感到疲倦，有时甚至会生气。”事实上，密歇根大学的一项研究表明，在一张令人愉快的活动的清单上，妈妈们把照看孩子排在享受美食、锻炼或看电视的后面，而照看孩子仅仅比做家务、工作或乘车上下班稍稍靠前一些。

妈妈们和专家之间出现这种差异的原因之一是：选择性记忆。当心理学家以一种笼统的方式问妈妈们是否喜欢和孩子一起度过时光时，绝大多数人会说她们喜欢，因为此刻她们想到的是一些有趣的活动，比如读书或在公园里玩。当她们被要求具体描述其实际的日常事务时，她们记得的是她们花了几个小时努力让孩子穿好衣服或上床睡觉。

不过，心理学家可能忽略了和孩子一起度过的时光所带来的快乐的强烈程度。幸运的是，这些时刻可以克服妈妈们每日的挫败感。宾夕法尼亚大学积极心理学中心的研究助理Karen Reivich博士说：“幸福不仅仅是那种微笑的感觉，它也是一种连接到比你自身更大的东西的感觉。当人们为更大的事物效力时，他们认为自己的生活充满了意义。”

17、According to a University of Michigan study, which of the following ranks higher than childcare on moms’ list of enjoyable activities?

· A.Eating, housework or commuting.

· B.Eating, exercising or watching TV.

· C.Exercising, housework or watching TV.

· D.Exercising, commuting or watching TV.

正确答案：

B

细节题。文章第一段最后一句提到，在一张令人愉快的活动的清单上，妈妈们把照看孩子排在享受美食、锻炼或看电视的后面，而照看孩子仅仅比做家务、工作或乘车上下班稍稍靠前一些。由此可知，享受美食、锻炼或看电视的排序比照看孩子靠前，故B项(享受美食、锻炼或看电视)符合题意。A项(享受美食、做家务或乘车上下班)、C项(锻炼、做家务或看电视)和D项(锻炼、乘车上下班或看电视)均与原文不符，故排除。故本题选B。

18、What does the underlined phrase “selective memory”(Para. 2) mean?

· A.Moms often tend to remember only the happy moments with their children.

· B.Moms often tend to remember only the hours they spent taking care of their children.

· C.Experts tend to remember only the happy moments the moms spend with their children.

· D.Experts tend to remember only the hours the moms spend with their children.

正确答案：

A

推理题。根据文章第二段前两句可知，之所以说妈妈们有选择性记忆是因为当心理学家以一种笼统的方式问她们是否喜欢和孩子一起度过时光时，绝大多数人会说她们喜欢，因为此刻她们想到的是一些有趣的活动，比如读书或在公园里玩。故A项(妈妈们通常只记得和孩子们在一起的快乐时光)符合题意。B项(妈妈们通常只记得照顾孩子的时光)与原文不符，当妈妈们被要求具体描述她们实际的日常事务时，她们才记得照顾孩子的时光。C项(专家们只记得妈妈和孩子们在一起的幸福时光)和D项(专家们只记得妈妈和孩子们在一起的时光)原文均未提及，故排除。故本题选A。

19、According to Karen Reivich, how do the moms’ moments of intense joy compare with their daily frustrations?

· A.Those moments make them feel more excited.

· B.Those moments make them feel more relaxed.

· C.Those moments can overcome their daily frustrations.

· D.Those moments can do nothing about their daily frustrations.

正确答案：

C

细节题。根据文章最后一段第二句可知，和孩子在一起度过的快乐时光可以克服妈妈们每天的挫败感。C项(这些时光可以克服她们日常的挫败感)与原文表述相符，符合题意。D项(这些时光对她们每天的挫败感毫无用处)与原文不符，故排除。A项(这些时光使她们感到更兴奋)和B项(这些时光使她们感到更放松)原文均未提及，故排除。故本题选C。

20、From the last sentence of this passage we can infer that _______.

· A.moms have only the smiley feeling about childcare

· B.moms feel frustrated at taking care of their children

· C.moms enjoy doing housework as a part of their childcare

· D.moms regard childcare as a meaningful part of their lives

正确答案：

D

推理题。文章最后一句指出，当人们为更大的事物效力时，他们认为自己的生活充满了意义。由此可推断，此处“更大的事物”指的是照顾孩子，D项(妈妈们把照顾孩子视为她们生活中有意义的一部分)符合题意。A项(妈妈们对照顾孩子只有微笑的感觉)与原文表述不符，文章最后一段提到幸福不仅仅是那种微笑的感觉，它还是一种连接到比你自身更大的东西的感觉。故排除。B项(妈妈们对照顾孩子感到沮丧)和C项(妈妈们喜欢把做家务视为照顾孩子的一部分)原文均未提及，故排除。故本题选D。

No matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain: you are acquainted with the mosquito(蚊子)—although you probably wish you weren’t. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species. Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.

No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she loves you. Yes, She. Only the female mosquito bites. It’s not because she’s unfriendly: she needs blood to reproduce. Female mosquito is quite selective, and she chooses her victims carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her victim. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you don’t appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you were chosen. You’re special.

If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot—on a leave or a stone—to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.

21、By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito—although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people _______.

· A.don’t like mosquito but it is always there

· B.know mosquito and wish them well

· C.wish all the mosquito disappeared

· D.want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last

正确答案：

A

细节题。根据文章第一段前两句可知，人们对蚊子很熟悉——尽管他们可能希望自己不熟悉。蚊子无处不在。故A项(人们不喜欢蚊子，但蚊子无处不在)符合题意。B项(人们了解蚊子并且希望它们健康)、C项(人们希望所有的蚊子消失)和D项(人们想要友好地对待蚊子但最终失败了)文章均未提及，故排除。故本题选A。

[参考译文]

不管你是谁，也不管你来自哪里，有一件事是肯定的：你对蚊子很熟悉——尽管你可能希望自己不熟悉。蚊子无处不在。它们遍布世界各地，共有2500多种。在某个地方、某个时候，你肯定遇到过至少一只蚊子。

没有人喜欢蚊子。但不幸的是蚊子可能会决定她喜欢你。是的，就是她。只有雌性蚊子才咬人。这并不是因为她不友善，而是因为她需要血液来繁殖。雌性蚊子非常挑剔，她会精心挑选受害者。首先，她用传感器找到受害者。她用这些传感器来测试你身体的湿气、温度，以及你汗液中的化学物质。如果她喜欢自己发现的目标，她就会叮咬。但如果你对她来说没有吸引力，她会因为更加诱人的目标而放弃你。下次蚊子咬你的时候，记住：你被蚊子选中了。你是很特别的。

如果蚊子喜欢你，她会轻轻地落在你的肉上，用她的喙尖戳破你的皮肤。喙尖是一种嘴巴，它从蚊子的眼睛下面伸出。蚊子一下子把喙尖刺进人的皮肤，如果刺到的是血管，她会在约一分钟之内饱餐一顿。之后，蚊子累了。饱食血液后，她会挑选一个地方——在一片叶子或一块石头上——产卵。一滴血就能生产成百上千的卵。

22、Why is it only female mosquito that bites?

· A.She is more unfriendly than male.

· B.She is greater in number.

· C.Blood is her favorite food.

· D.Blood enables her to lay eggs.

正确答案：

D

细节题。根据文章第二段第四、五句可知，只有雌性蚊子才咬人。这并不是因为她不友善，而是因为她需要血液来繁殖。故D项(血液可以使她产卵)符合题意。A项(她没有雄性蚊子友好)、B项(她的数量更庞大)和C项(血液是她最喜欢的食物)原文均未提及，故排除。故本题选D。

23、To select whom to bite, the mosquito’s sensors may NOT test _______.

· A.the temperature of the body

· B.the color of the skin

· C.the chemical elements in sweat

· D.the wetness of the body

正确答案：

B

细节题。根据文章第二段第八句可知，雌性蚊子利用传感器来感知人体的湿度、温度，以及汗液中的化学物质。A项(身体的温度)、C项(汗液中的化学成分)和D项(身体的湿度)原文均有提及，故排除。B项(皮肤的颜色)原文未提及，符合题意，故本题选B。

24、According to the last paragraph, the function of proboscis tip is _______.

· A.to find where to bite

· B.to stick into the flesh and suck blood

· C.to remove the skin and collect blood

· D.to decide whom to reject

正确答案：

B

推理题。根据文章第三段第三句可知，蚊子用喙尖刺进人的皮肤，如果刺到的是血管，她会在约一分钟之内饱餐一顿。故B项(刺入肉里吸血)符合题意。A项(找到咬的地方)、C项(去皮采血)和D项(决定拒绝的对象)均与原文所述不符，故排除。故本题选B。

25、The main idea of this passage could be _______.

· A.why and how mosquito bites people

· B.why people dislike mosquito

· C.what kind of mosquito bites people

· D.how to identify female mosquito

正确答案：

A

主旨题。文章第一段主要介绍了蚊子无处不在。第二段介绍了雌性蚊子咬人的目的以及她是如何确定叮咬对象的。第三段具体介绍了雌性蚊子是如何咬人的。故A项(蚊子为什么以及如何咬人)更好地概括了文章的主旨，故本题选A。原文只提到人们不喜欢蚊子，但并未给出原因，故B项(为什么人们不喜欢蚊子)可排除。C项(哪类蚊子咬人)文中虽有提及，但并不是文章主旨所在，太片面，故排除。D项(如何鉴定雌性蚊子)原文未提及，故排除。

Laughter brings a range of health benefits into your daily life. Laughing boosts your immune system. Just look at the work of Dr. Lee Berk, of Loma Linda University in California. Berk doesn’t tell jokes beside patients’ beds, but he does research humor. He has shown that laughing can lead to an increase in antibodies and other cells that fight viruses.

Other studies show that laughter might be helpful for people in hospitals. An organization called Rx Laughter carried out a study about humor in the hospital. The results suggest that laughter might help children deal with painful medical treatments.

The study involved children between the ages of 8 and 14. The kids placed their hands in cold water for as long as they could while watching funny old TV shows, such as I Love Lucy. Guess what happened? The kids were able to withstand pain for a longer period of time when they were watching a funny video than when watching no video. Those who laughed more felt less pain.

“This means that humor can keep you away from thinking about a painful process and thus make it seem less painful,” says Dr. Margaret Stuber, the main researcher for the study. She works at the University of California at Los Angeles. As Stuber also points out, humor may even be good for your emotional health because physical and emotional health are connected. “If you can say to yourself that a medical treatment wasn’t as bad as you thought it would be, then you’re less likely to have nightmares, fears about going to the doctor, and other related anxieties,” she says.

26、According to Dr. Lee Berk, laughing benefits us because ________.

· A.it makes us more humorous

· B.it helps us feel more relaxed

· C.it helps us deal with painful medical treatments

· D.it leads to an increase in antibodies and the cells that fight viruses

正确答案：

D

细节题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知，Lee Berk博士印证了笑可以引起抗体和其他对抗病毒的细胞的增加，故D项(引起抗体和对抗病毒的其他细胞的增加)符合题意。A项(它使我们更幽默)和B项(它帮助我们放松)原文未提及，故排除。C项(它帮助我们应对痛苦的医学治疗)，原文虽有提到笑可以帮助孩子们应对痛苦的医学治疗，但这是另一项研究的结果，而不是Lee Berk博士的研究发现，故排除。故本题选D。

[参考译文]

笑声可以给你的日常生活带来一系列的健康益处。笑能增强你的免疫系统。来看一看加利福尼亚洛玛连达大学的Lee Berk博士的工作吧。虽然Berk不在病人床前讲笑话，但他研究幽默。他已经证明笑可以引起抗体和其他对抗病毒的细胞的增加。

其他研究表明，笑声可能对医院的病人有帮助。一个名为Rx Laughter的组织在医院里进行了一项关于幽默的研究。结果表明，笑有助于儿童应对痛苦的医学治疗。

这项研究涉及8到14岁的儿童。孩子们在看有趣的老电视节目，比如《我爱露西》时，让他们把手放在冷水里尽可能长的时间。猜猜发生了什么?孩子们在观看一段有趣的视频时，比没看视频时能忍受更长时间的疼痛。那些笑得更多的人感觉到的痛苦更少。

“这意味着幽默可以让你远离思考痛苦的过程，从而使它看起来不那么痛苦，”该研究的主要研究员玛格丽特·斯图尔博士说道。她在加州大学洛杉矶分校工作。正如斯图尔也指出的那样，幽默可能对你的情绪健康有好处，因为身体和情感的健康是联系在一起的。她说：“如果你能对自己说，医疗并不像你想象的那么糟糕，那么你就不太可能做噩梦，不太害怕去看医生，也不太可能有其他相关的焦虑。”

27、Why did the children between the ages of 8 and 14 put their hands in cold water?

· A.Because they wanted to cool their hands off.

· B.Because they took part in an experiment on laughter.

· C.Because they wanted to test their ability to resist cold.

· D.Because they used to do this while watching old TV shows.

正确答案：

B

推理题。根据文章第三段前两句可知，研究涉及8到14岁的儿童。当孩子们在看有趣的老电视节目时，让他们把手放在冷水里尽可能长的时间。由此可知，孩子们把手放在冷水里是要参与该项研究。故B项(因为他们参与了有关笑声的实验)符合题意。A项(因为他们想让手变凉)、C项(因为他们想要检测自己的抗寒能力)和D项(因为他们过去在看老电视节目时经常这样做)原文均未提及，故排除。故本题选B。

28、According to Dr. Margaret Stuber, how does humor help children deal with painful medical treatments?

· A.It makes them laugh more.

· B.It makes them emotionally healthy.

· C.It makes them think less about a painful process.

· D.It makes them feel less worried about the treatments.

正确答案：

C

细节题。根据文章第四段首句Margaret Stuber的话可知，幽默可以让人们远离思考痛苦的过程，从而使它看起来不那么痛苦，故C项(它帮助他们更少地思考痛苦的过程)符合题意。A项(它使他们笑得更多)、B项(它使他们在情感上更健康)和D项(它使他们不太担心治疗)均与原文所述不符，故排除。故本题选C。

29、Which of the following is true about laughter?

· A.Laughter cures people of all their diseases.

· B.Laughter solves all the mental problems.

· C.Laughter is beneficial to both physical and emotional health.

· D.Laughter makes children watch old TV shows for a longer time.

正确答案：

C

细节题。根据文章第一段可知，笑能增强人体免疫系统。且最后一段第三句提到，幽默可能对人们的情绪健康有好处，因为身体和情感的健康是联系在一起的，故C项(笑对身体健康和情感健康都有好处)与原文所述相符。A项(笑可以治愈人们所有的疾病)和B项(笑能解决所有的情感问题)说法太绝对，故排除。D项(笑可以使孩子们看老电视节目的时间更长)与原文所述不符，故排除。故本题选C。

30、According to the last paragraph, which of the following is the effect of laughter on emotional health?

· A.Making people less anxious about going to the doctor.

· B.Making people more excited about medical treatment.

· C.Making people more satisfied with their health.

正确答案：

A

细节题。根据文章最后一句可知，如果人们能对自己说，医疗并不像他们想象的那么糟糕，那么他们就不太可能做噩梦，不太害怕去看医生，也不太可能有其他相关的焦虑。故A项(使人们不太害怕去看医生)符合题意。B项(使人们对医学治疗更兴奋)、C项(使人们对健康状况更满意)和D项(使人们更快入睡)原文均未提及，故排除。故本题选A。

How much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?

Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.

Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类)foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.

Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn’t make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.

If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.

31、The first paragraph implies that many people ________.

· A.are well informed about nutrition

· B.don’t care about nutrition

· C.have much knowledge of nutrition

· D.have incorrect ideas about nutrition

正确答案：

D

推理题。根据文章第一段前两句可知，关于营养这个话题人们普遍存在错误的观念，故D项(对营养有错误的观点)说法正确。A项(对营养方面很熟悉)、B项(不关心营养方面的问题)和D项(有很多关于营养方面的知识)均与原文所述不符，故排除。故本题选D。

[参考译文]

你对营养了解多少?如果你的营养知识和那些参与美国食品和药物管理局三项调查的食品购买者的相似，那么你可能有一些关于营养普遍存在的错误观念。检查你对下列说法的答案。看看它们是正确的还是错误的。

说法1：在家烹制的新鲜蔬菜比罐装或冷冻的蔬菜更有营养。这是错误的。营养差异更多地取决于如何处理或准备蔬菜，而不是取决于购买的是新鲜的还是包装的。例如，过度烹饪会破坏许多营养成分。用过多的水烹煮蔬菜会损失大量的维生素。

说法2：节食时，不要吃淀粉类食物，如面包或土豆。这是错误的。如果你剔除淀粉类食物，如豌豆、马铃薯、面包和大米，那么你就剔除了B族维生素、维生素C和其他营养物质很好的来源。此外，每盎司面包和土豆比每盎司西冷牛排和烤牛肉所含的卡路里要少。

说法3：摄取超过每日限量的维生素不会给你更多的能量。这是真的。人们普遍认为额外的维生素能提供更多的能量。但是，摄取超过身体需要的量并不会使其功能更好，就像油箱加得过满并不会让你的车跑得更快一样。

如果你正确地回答了这些问题，你可以暂时认为，按照今天的标准你对食物和营养了如指掌。但是请记住，营养学是一门复杂且不断发展的科学，今天的观念可能会随着新信息的获得而改变。

32、According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?

· A.Overcooking destroys many nutrients.

· B.It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.

· C.Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.

· D.Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.

正确答案：

B

细节题。根据文章第二段倒数第二句可知，过度烹饪会破坏许多营养成分。故A项(过度烹饪破坏营养成分)说法正确，故排除。文章第二段第三句指出，营养差异更多地取决于如何处理或准备蔬菜，而不是取决于购买的是新鲜的还是包装的，故B项(如何准备食物营养方面没什么不同)说法不正确，而C项(新鲜的和包装的蔬菜都有营养)说法正确。文章第二段最后一句指出，用过多的水烹煮蔬菜会损失大量的维生素，故D项(在烹饪过程中蔬菜中的维生素会流失)说法正确，故排除。故本题选B。

33、Which of the following is a correct attitude towards starchy food?

· A.Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.

· B.Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.

· C.Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.

· D.Starchy foods include only peas, potatoes, bread and rice.

正确答案：

C

细节题。根据文章第三段前两句可知，控制饮食时，避免淀粉类食物的这种做法是错误的，故A项(淀粉类食物在均衡饮食中是不必要的)说法不正确。根据第三段最后一句可知，每盎司面包和土豆比每盎司西冷牛排和烤牛肉所含的卡路里要少，故B项(每盎司面包和牛排所含的卡路里同样多)说法不正确。D项(淀粉类食物只包括豌豆、马铃薯、面包和大米)与原文不符，且根据生活常识也可以判断D项说法错误，故排除。根据第三段第三句可知，如果人们从饮食中剔除了淀粉类食物，那么他们就剔除了B族维生素、维生素C和其他营养物质很好的来源，故C项(淀粉类食物中含有珍贵的营养成分)说法正确。故本题选C。

34、The description of “overfilling your gas tank” shows why _______.

· A.one should take as much vitamins as possible

· B.more than enough vitamins is unnecessary

· C.vitamins cost as much as gas

· D.doctors recommend allowance of vitamins

正确答案：

B

推理题。根据文章第四段最后一句可知，摄取超过身体需要的维生素并不会使其功能更好，就像油箱加得过满并不会让车跑得更快一样。由此可知，提到“油箱加得过满”是为了说明过量的维生素也是不必要的，故B项(过量的维生素是不必要的)符合题意。A项(人们应该摄取尽可能多的维生素)、C项(维生素和汽油一样贵)和D项(医生建议摄取维生素的量)都不符合题意，故排除。故本题选B。

主旨题。文章首先抛出“你对营养了解多少?”这个问题，然后指出人们可能会有一些关于营养的错误观点。接着以三个问题为例，逐一检测人们对这些问题的回答，并在最后一段予以总结。故文章主要是测试人们对营养知识的掌握，故B项(测试你的营养智商)最恰当地概括了文章的内容。A项(有效减肥的秘诀)文章未提及，故排除。C项(营养学：科学的一个复杂分支)和D项(误导性的营养概念)文章虽有提及，但都不是文章的主要内容，故排除。故本题选B。
