Question

    Here are five cooking habits that could be costing you important nutrients, causing you to overeat——or even making you sick.

Boiling vegetables

A 2015 review showed that boiling vegetables resulted in a high loss of vitamin C. 1. "If you're not drinking a soup, you're missing out on nutrients," says Nishta Saxena, a dietitian based in Toronto .

Washing chicken

While your favourite old cookbooks likely tell you to wash a chicken before cooking, this outdated advice is a safety risk. Cleaning meat in water may remove some of the bacteria, but it's also likely to pass it around your kitchen. 2. And clean your hands after you've finished the cooking.

Removing skins from fruits and vegetables

"Large amounts of nutrients are found in the skins." says Liz Powell, who is a dietitian from Vancouver. " Concern about chemical remains isn't a good enough reason to do the removing. 3."

Mixing everything

A smoothie (a mixed drink) is a smart way to eat some greens. 4. They're often short of protein and healthy fat. These things work together to keep us feeling full and satisfied. Without them, it's not really a balanced meal, Powell suggests adding some foods which contain protein or having a piece of wholewheat(全麦的)bread on the side.

Overdressing salads

We think we can add anything to salads, and they'll still be a nutritious choice. But it's just not true. If you're topping your bowl with dried strawberries and sweet cheese, you've easily added 30 grams of sugar to your so-called healthy lunch. 5.

A. You should choose healthy produce for your family.

B. But these kinds of drinks are likely to be unbalanced.

C. To stay safe, don't wash the meat when preparing it.

D. Cabbage. for example, loses about 33 % of its vitamin C.

E. Nuts are better choices to improve the taste of your greens.

F. The skins of potatoes contain more nutrients than its inside part.

G. Washing your produce will remove some chemicals from the surface.

【解析】

本文是说明文。文章介绍了常见的五种错误的做饭习惯。

1.由上文中的boiling vegetables resulted in a high loss of vitamin C“煮蔬菜会导致维生素C的大量流失”。可知，该段主要介绍了煮蔬菜会导致维生素C的损失。D项中的loses about 33% of its vitamin C是提示，该句为该段的观点提供了具体的例证。由此推知，D项Cabbage. for example, loses about 33 % of its vitamin C.（卷心菜。例如，它会失去大约33%的维生素C。）切题。故选D。

2.由上文中的Cleaning meat in water may remove some of the bacteria, but it's also likely to pass it around your kitchen“在水中清洗肉类可能会去除一些细菌，但也可能会在你的厨房里传播”。可知，该段介绍了清理肉类食物有可能将细菌留在厨房。再由下文中的And clean your hands after you' ve finished the cooking可知，设空处给出了一种解决办法，由此推知，C项To stay safe, don't wash the meat when preparing it.（为了安全起见，烹调时不要洗肉。）切题。故选C。

3.由上文中的Concern about chemical remains isn't a good enough reason to do the removing“对化学残留物的担忧并不是进行移除的充分理由”以及设空处所在的位置可知,这里还需要给出建议。G项中的remove some chemicals from the surface是提示。由此推知，G项Washing your produce will remove some chemicals from the surface.（清洗你的产品会去除表面的一些化学物质。）切题。故选G。

4.由下文中的They're often short of protein and healthy fat可知，设空处提到了有关They的内容，并且指出They是一些缺乏蛋白质和健康脂肪的食物。再由上文中的smoothie可知，这里指一些类似思慕雪的饮料。由此推知，B项But these kinds of drinks are likely to be unbalanced.（但这些饮料很可能是不平衡的。）切题。故选B。

5.该段缺一个结尾句。由小标题Overdressing salads可知，该段主要说明对沙拉过度添加一些辅料，导致原本健康的饮食变得不那么健康。作为结尾句要给大家提出一些建议，E项中的better choices以及taste of your greens是提示。由此推知，E项Nuts are better choices to improve the taste of your greens.（坚果是改善蔬菜味道的更好选择。）切题。故选E。
