Since leaving___ school, the teen had been eating only French fries, Pringles and white bread, as well as a(n)___ slice of ham or a sausage. At the age of 14, feeling tired and not well, he was diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency(缺乏)and was___ supplements(补充剂), but he did not___ the treatment or improve his poor diet. Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive___ loss.

Dr Denize Atan, who___ him at the hospital, said, “The teenager explained this eating disorder as a dislike of certain textures of food that he really could not____, and so chips and crisps were really the only types of food that he wanted and felt that he could eat.”

__ in B12 as well as some other important vitamins and minerals, he was not over or underweight, but was____ malnourished (lacking nutrition) from his food intake disorder. “He had lost minerals from his bone, which was really quite___ for a boy of his age.”

In terms of his sight loss, he met the___ for being registered blind. Dr Atan said, “He can’t drive and would find it really difficult to____, watch TV or recognize faces. He can walk around on his own,____, because he doesn’t lose peripheral( 周 边 的 )vision.”

The condition the young man has is treatable___ diagnosed early. Left too long, however, the nerve fibers in the optic nerve die and the damage becomes____.

【解析】

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。本文讲述的是挑食会引起永久的失去视力，通过一个实例告诉我们挑食会引起的严重后果应该引起家长的重视。同时提醒素食主义者也存在这样的风险。最后告诉我们过多的食用维他命会中毒。

1.考查形容词辨析。句意：自从离开小学后，这名青少年就一直只吃薯条、薯片和白面包。根据这一段后面的at the age of 14, feeling tired and not well,（14岁的时候，他感觉到累还不舒服），可知，14岁是上中学的年龄，所以应该是他离开小学后就一直吃薯条、薯片和白面包。A. vocational职业的；B. primary初级的；C. middle中级；D. special特殊的。primary school意为“小学”，故选B。

2.考查形容词辨析。句意：偶尔吃点薄片火腿或者腊肠。A. funny有趣的；B. rigid严格的，死板的；C. occasional偶然的，临时的；D. raw生的，未经加工的。空格处单词与前半句中的had been eating（经常吃）为反义呼应，故选C。

3.考查动词辨析。句意：在14岁的时候，他感觉累并且不舒服，被诊断出缺乏维他命B12，并被开了处方补充剂，但是他没有继续治疗或者改善饮食。A. forbidden 禁止；B. denied 否认；C. prescribed 开处方；D. offered提供。由这句话中的diagnosed可知，他去看医生，并可推断是医生给他开了药方补充剂。故选C。

4.考查动词短语辨析。句意同上。A. stick with坚持，继续做；B. cope with处理；C. play with与……一起玩；D. go with与……一起存在。前面的but表示转折关系，可推知医生开了处方，他没有继续按照处方进行治疗。故选A。

5.考查名词辨析。句意：三年之后，因为逐渐的视力衰退，他被带到眼科医院。A. diet饮食；B. sight视力；C. weight体重；D. wit风趣，才思。根据第一段的sight loss或者前面的Eye Hospital可推知，他的视力出现了问题。故选B。

6.考查动词辨析。句意：Dr Denize Atan，在医院给他进行治疗的医生说“这个孩子解释他的饮食紊乱是因为不喜欢某些事物的材质，这些材质让他真的无法忍受，因此，薯片和薯条成了他喜欢的。”A. cured治愈；B. studied学习，研究；C. instructed指示，命令；D. treated以……态度对待，处理。cure是治愈的意思，与文意不符合。故选D。

7.考查动词辨析。句意同上。A. describe描述，形容；B. recognize认识，认出；C. tolerate容忍，允许；D. receive拿到，接到。由句子中的a dislike of可知，他不喜欢食物是因为不能忍受那些材质。故选C。

8.考查形容词短语辨析。句意：缺乏B12和其他一些重要的维他命和矿物质，他不会超重，但是会严重缺乏营养。be abundant in 富含；be lost in 沉浸于；be lacking in 缺乏，确少，backward向后的，朝后的。空格处单词与这句话括号内的lacking呼应，故选D。

9.考查副词辨析。句意同上。A. severely严重的；B. scarcely几乎不，仅仅；C. seemingly好像；D. sincerely真诚的。由下句中的He had lost minerals from his bone（他的骨头缺了矿物质）可知，他会严重缺乏营养。故选A。

10.考查形容词辨析。句意：他骨头里已经失去了矿物质，这对于他这个年纪的孩子来说是很令人震惊的。A. amusing逗人笑的，有乐趣的；B. normal正常的；C. shocking令人震惊的；D. typical典型的。空格处单词与下文中“cases like this are thankfully uncommon（像这样的案例不常见）”中的uncommon呼应，说明他这种情况令人震惊。故选C。

11.考查名词辨析。句意：就视力失去而言，他满足了被诊断眼盲的标准。A. situations 情况；B. criteria 标准，条件；C. deadlines 期限；D. challenges挑战。由下句“He can’t drive（他不能开车）”可推知，他的视力满足了被诊断眼盲的标准。故选B。

12.考查动词辨析。句意：他不可能开车了并且读书看电视或者识别脸都是很难的。A. read读书；B. sing唱歌；C. dance跳舞；D. laugh笑。由于空格后的watch、recognize都与视力有关，所以空格处也应填一个并列的与视力有关的词。故选A。

13.考查副词。句意：但是他可以自己走路，因为对周围的视力还没有失去。这边考查前后转折，though作“但是”的时候通常位于句尾；still和yet 解释“但是”的时候位于句首。even（甚至，连）不表示转折关系。故选B。

14.考查连词。句意：这个年轻人的情况如果早诊断是可以治疗的。A. since因为，自从； B. unless除非；C. after在……之后；D. if如果。根据句意，他现在已经被诊断为眼盲，所以这句话是假设的一种情况。故选D。

15.考查形容词辨析。句意：然而，被拖了太长时间了，他的视神经中的神经纤维已经坏死，这个损伤是永久的。A. persistent 固执的，持续；B. periodic周期的；C. persevering坚韧的；D. permanent永久的。由句中的Left too long（拖得太久了）可推知，这种损伤已经是永久的了。故选D。

16.考查动词短语。句意：家长应该意识到由挑食引起的潜在的伤害并且寻求专家的帮助。A. wake up to 意识到，认识到；B. live up to 不辜负，达到；C. stand up to 勇敢面对，抵抗；D. come up to 达到，等于。根据句意，作者提醒大家意识到这种潜在的伤害。故选A。

17.考查动词辨析。句意：素食主义者同样也有与缺乏B12相关的视力问题的风险，如果不去代替可能缺少的肉类中的物质。A. excluding不包括，排除；B. separating分离； C. including包含；D. distinguishing区分，辨别。根据句中的“vegans”可知，他们不吃肉，所以会缺少肉类中的物质。故选A。

18.考查名词辨析。句意：多元维他命药片可能会有补充，但是不能代替健康饮食。A. companion旅伴，伴侣；B. substitute代替；C. suggestion建议；D. explanation解释。根据句意，多元维生素片只是一种补充，不是替代品。故选B。

19.考查动词短语辨析。句意：通过多样的健康的饮食能够更好的吸收维他命。A. take off 脱掉，起飞，腾飞，迅速流行；B. take after照顾；C. take in 吸收，欺骗；D. take over接管。由于宾语是vitamins,且根据句意只能翻译为“吸收”。故选C。

20.考查形容词辨析。句意：太多的某种维他命，包括维他命A，有可能是有毒的，所以你不要过多的服用。A. rewarding有益的，有报酬的；B. compulsory 义务的，强制的；C. restrictive限制的，约束了； D. poisonous有毒的。由句中的“you don’t want to overdo it（你不能做的过了）”可知，过多服用不好，结合选项，故选D。
