Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Pasta is no longer off the menu, after a new review of studies suggested that the carbohydrate can form part of a

healthy diet, and even help people lose weight. For years, nutritionists have recommended that pasta be kept to a

26 , to cut calories, prevent fat build-up and stop blood sugar 27 up.

The low-carbohydrate food movement gave birth to such diets as the Atkins, Paleo and Keto, which advised

swapping foods like bread, pasta and potatoes for vegetables, fish and meat. More recently the trend of

swapping spaghetti for vegetables has been 28 by clean-eating experts.

But now a 29 review and analysis of 30 studies by Canadian researchers found that not only does pasta not cause

weight gain, but three meals a week can help people drop more than half a kilogram over four months. The

reviewers found that pasta had been unfairly demonized (

妖魔化

) because it had been 30 in with other, more

ft-promoting carbohydrates.

“

The study found that pasta didn

’

t 3 to weight gain or increase in body fat,

”

said lead author Dr John

Sievenpiper.

“

In 32 the evidence, we can now say with some confidence that pasta does not have an 33 effect on

body weigh outcomes when it is consumed as part of a healthy dietary pattern.

”

In fact, analysis actually showed

a small weigh loss 34 to concerns. perhaps pasta can be part of a healthy diet

Those involved in the 35 trials on average ate 3.3 servings of pasta a week instead of other carbohydrates, one

serving equaling around half a cup. They lost around half a kilogram over an average follow-up of 12 weeks.

A) adverse

B) championed

C clinical

D) contrary

E) contribute

F) intimate

G) lumped

H) magnified

D) minimum

J) radiating

K) ration

L) shooting

M) subscribe

N) systematic

O) weighing

contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is

derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the

questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

The Best Retailers Combine Bricks and Clicks

A) Retail profits are falling sharply. Stores are closing. Malls are emptying. The depressing stories just keep

coming. Reading the earnings announcements of large retail stores like Macy

’

s, Nordstrom, and Target is about

as uplifting as a tour of an intensive care unit. The interact is apparently taking down yet another industry. Brick

and mortar stores (

实体店

) seem to be going the way of the yellow pages. Sure enough, the Census Bureau just

released data showing that online retail sales surged 15.2 percent between the first quarter of 2015 and the first

quarter of 2016.

B) But before you dump all of your retail stocks, there are more facts you should consider. Looking only at that

15.2 percent

tiny number grows by a large percentage terms, it is often still tiny.

C) More than 20 years after the internet was opened to commerce, the Census Bureau tells us that brick and

mortar sales accounted for 92.3 percent of retail sales in the first quarter of 2016. Their data show that only 0.8

percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between the beginning of 2015 and 2016.

D) So, despite all the talk about drone (

无人机

) deliveries to your doorstep, all the retail executives expressing

anxiety over consumers going online, and even a Presidential candidate exclaiming that Amazon has a

antitrust problem,

executives, and sinking stocks suggest otherwise. What's the real story?

E) Many firms operating brick and mortar stores are in trouble. The retail industry is getting reinvented, as we

describe in our new book Matchmakers. It's standing in the Path of what Schumpeter called a gale (

大风

) of

creative destruction. That storm has been brewing for some time, and as it has reached gale force, most large

retailers are searching for a response. As the CFO of Macy

’

s put it recently,

“

We

’

re frankly scratching our heads.

”

F) But it

’

s not happening as experts predicted. In the peak of the dot. com bubble, brick and mortar retail was

one of those industries the internet was going to kill-and quickly. The

bust discredited most predictions of that sort and in the years that followed, onventional retailers

’

confidence in the future increased as Census continued to report weak online sales. And then the gale hit.

G) It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinvention isn

’

t a simple battle to the death between bricks and

clicks. It is about devising retail models that work for people who are making increasing use of a growing array of

internet-connected tools to change how they search, shop, and buy. Creative retailers are using the new

technologies to innovate just about everything stores do from managing inventory, to marketing, to getting paid.

H) More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep, Apple

’

s massively successful

brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazon

’

s small steps in the same direction are what should keep

old-fashioned retailers awake at night. Not to mention the large number of creative new retailers, like Bonobos,

that are blending online and offline experiences in creative ways.

I) Retail reinvention is not a simple process, and it

’

s also not happening on what used to be called

Time.

classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down. But many widely anticipated changes weren

’

t

quick, and some haven

’

t really started. With the benefit of hindsight (

后见之明

), it looks like the interact will

transform the economy at something like the pace of other great inventions like electricity. B2B commerce, for

example, didn

’

t move mainly online by 2005 as many had predicted in 2000, nor even by 2016, but that doesn

’

t mean it won

’

t do so over the next few decades.

J) But the gale is still blowing. The sudden decline in foot traffic in recent years, even though it hasn

’

t been

accompanied by a massive decline in physical sales, is a critical warning. People can shop more efficiently online

and therefore don

’

t need to go to as many stores to find what they want. There

’

s a surplus of physical shopping

space for the crowds, which is one reason why stores are downsizing and closing.

K) The rise of the mobile phone has recently added a new level of complexity to the process of retail reinvention.

Even five years ago most people faced a choice. Sit at your computer, probably at home or at the office, search

and browse, and buy. Or head out to the mall, or Main Street, look and shop, and buy. Now, just about everyone

has a smartphone, connected to the internet almost everywhere almost all the time. Even when a retailer gets a

customer to walk in the store, she can easily see if there

’

s a better deal online or at another store nearby.

L) So far, the main thing many large retailers have done in response to all this is to open online stores, so people

will come to them directly rather than to Amazon and its smaller online are having the same problem

that newspapers have. Even if they get online traffic, they struggle to make enough money online to compensate

for what they are losing offline.
