The glycemic index(血糖指數(shù))，or GI rating tells us.Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered highGI foods，leading to faster sugar development.Bananas have a GI of 62，which is considered low.Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone，but it is especially hard for diabetics(糖尿病患者)A study looked at how the starch from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics.After four weeks of a diet high in bananas，diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet.They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.Whats more，bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes，diabetes and cancers(Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.)Bananas are also a rich source of fiber，which has been shown to help weight loss.Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber.Skins from green bananas can be taken and，after removing the stem and dark tip，cut into small pieces 23 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish.When you eat the skins，be sure you are eating organic bananas.The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides，but the skins are not.1What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 1&2?ABananas are likely to make people fat.BInsulin determines the amount of sugar.CLowGI foods can turn into sugar more slowly.DThe faster the food bees sugar，the less insulin.2What does the author say about bananas?AIncluding bananas in diets is good for health.BBananas can cure people suffering kidney cancer.CEating organic bananas protect people from strokes.DBananas abundant fiber improves insulin sensitivity.3What is discussed in the last paragraph?AThe use of banana skins.BThe benefits of banana skins.CThe importance of banana skins.DThe ways of choosing organic bananas.4In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?AEducation.

The glycemic index(血糖指數(shù)).faster sugar development”可知，血糖指數(shù)高的食物往往能更快地轉(zhuǎn)化成糖分，反之，血糖指數(shù)低的食物轉(zhuǎn)化成糖分的速度較慢。故選C。2A考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet.They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet”及第四段的“bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes，diabetes and cancers.weight
