9.B

10.D

11.A试题分析：你可能会认为，盐不过是我们在食物上添加用以增加风味的简单东西，但盐的作用不仅于此。文章讲述了许多与盐有关的词汇表达。8.推理判断题。通读第一段可知，本段讲述盐不仅是一种调味品，而且盐对于我们的肌肉、神经系统和心脏起着决定性作用，盐意味着生命。故选A。9.推理判断题。“乞丐的面包昨天晚上被偷了”意味着原本一贫如洗的人连最基本的赖以生存的食物都没有了，这犹如伤口上撒盐，让情况变得更加糟糕。故选B。10.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的句子“Today,peoplestillusetheexpressions“worthone'ssalt”or“worthone'sweightinsalt”.Theexpressionsdescribeapersonofvalue.”可知，盐是如此重要，今天人们仍旧使用“worthone'ssalt”或者“worthone'sweightinsalt”来描述那些重要人物。故选D。11.标题判断题。纵观全文可知，文章主要讲述了与“salt”有关的习语表达，盐在人们的生活中是至关重要的，因此也衍生处许多与盐有关的日常表达。因此推断A“盐不仅仅是一个四个字母的单词”为最佳标题。故选A。19.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。DoesaTeaBreakMakeYouMoreEfficient?ChinahasbeendrinkingteasincethetimeofShennong,5,000yearsago.Britain’srelationshipwithteaismuchshorter,butteaenjoysprideofplaceastheUK’snationaldrink.AccordingtotheUKTeaCouncil,Britishpeopledrinkanaverageofthreecupsadayoranationaltotalof165millioncupseveryday.Withfigureslikethese,itisnosurprisethattimespenttakingteaaffectstheworkingdayinBritain.Arecentsurveyfoundthat24minutesadayarelosttomaking,buyinganddrinkingteaandcoffee.Thatis,￡400ayearislostinworkinghoursperemployee,or190daysoveralifetime.So,shouldemployersbeworriedaboutthislostworkingtime,ordoestheteabreakmakeupinotherways?Oneargumentisthatcaffeineimprovesmentalstate:adrinkofteaorcoffeecanmakeyouactiveandfocusonwork.ProfessorRogersoftheUniversityofBristoldisagrees.Afteryearsofstudyingcaffeineheseesnothingcanprovethat.“Workerswouldperformequallywellifnotdrinkingitatall,”hesays.“Butifthey’reoftendrinkingitandthengowithout,they’llfeeltiredandwon’tworkwell.”PsychologistCooperinsteademphasizestherol
