Question

【題目】The book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity Epidemic— and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. 【1】 But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.

1．If you're obese, blame your genes.

【2】 Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.

2．If you're obese, you lack selfcontrol.

Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet. 【3】 Even, the most vigilant(警覺(jué)的)people may not be good controllers of themselves.

3．【4】

Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 per cent of Americans live in the “food deserts”， about 65 per cent of the nation's population is obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.

4．The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don't exercise.

Michelle Obama's “Let's Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. 【5】 In fact, although a drop in workrelated physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.

A．Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity.

B．Obesity rates have increased.

C．Fresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity.

D．But there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s.

E．People hold different views on obesity.

F．People benefit a lot from physical activities.

G．Our world has become so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can't understand.

【解析】試題分析：肥胖是現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的主要問(wèn)題之一。Deborah Cohen 的《A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It》一書(shū)中，作者介紹了人們對(duì)肥胖問(wèn)題的幾種誤解。

【1】E 根據(jù)下句由轉(zhuǎn)折意義的內(nèi)容“But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.”（但該書(shū)認(rèn)為下面幾點(diǎn)是關(guān)于肥胖的幾點(diǎn)誤解）可知，人們對(duì)肥胖問(wèn)題觀點(diǎn)不一，故E項(xiàng)正確。

【2】B根據(jù)下句內(nèi)容“Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible.”（然而，在1980年到2000年，美國(guó)肥胖的人數(shù)就翻了一番。該速度太快，可見(jiàn)肥胖并非遺傳因素所致）可知，此處表示“肥胖比例有所增加，故B項(xiàng)正確。

【3】G 根據(jù)上句“Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet.”（研究表明，如果我們面臨太多信息，我們很可能會(huì)就節(jié)食作出糟糕的選擇）可知，該句應(yīng)表示“我們現(xiàn)在的食物如此豐富以致于我們會(huì)被引導(dǎo)以自己難以想象的方式去消耗食物”，故選G項(xiàng)。

【4】A根據(jù)下文“For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables”（對(duì)大多數(shù)人來(lái)講，肥胖與得不到更多的新鮮水果和蔬菜無(wú)關(guān)）可知，人們的誤解為：得不到新鮮蔬菜水果是肥胖的一種原因，故選A項(xiàng)。

【5】D 根據(jù)下句“although a drop in work-related physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.”（盡管跟工作相關(guān)的體力活動(dòng)減少導(dǎo)致人們少燃燒多達(dá)100卡路里，但休閑體力活動(dòng)似乎有所增加）可知，在二十世紀(jì)八十年代和九十年代，人們的體力活動(dòng)并未明顯減少，故選D項(xiàng)。
