反。becontraryto表示与…相反。

■2.G

考查intake

解析：研究人员发现无论一个人是否患有高血压，低钠的摄入量都会增加中风，心脏病和死

亡的风险。所以填名词intake（摄入量）

的人群应该注意在他们的饮食中减少钠的摄入量。

者“，故填moderationo

地区盐的平均摄入量异常高。故填写副词abnormally（异常地）。

■9.J

考查recommend的过去分词形式recommended

解析：此处意为“在肯尼亚，公共健康和卫生部门建议食盐摄入量降低到5克以下，这个食

盐摄入量是被世界健康组织所推荐的。”故填recommend的过去分词形式recommend表示被

推荐。

■10.H

考查correct的副词形式correctly
