Question

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

Others blame parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

【解析】

試題分析: 文章分析了孩子超重的原因，并提出了一些相應(yīng)的建議

1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段When they get home, they sit in front of the television --- --- it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.可知，經(jīng)�？措娨暤娜丝赡艹缘牟唤】档氖称犯�多，故選B。

2.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第二段最后一句If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.如果這種餐館少一些，那孩子們買方便食品的機(jī)會(huì)就更少。所以作者認(rèn)為孩子超重的原因是快餐店太多了，故選D。

3.B猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)steering所在的句子therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.作者想說(shuō)，我們應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)年輕人更積極起來(lái)，也要“steer”他們遠(yuǎn)離快餐店和一些不好的飲食習(xí)慣。所以可以猜測(cè)“steer”是指guide“指導(dǎo)，引導(dǎo)”，故選B。

4.C寫作意圖題。作者一開始就提出Many facts suggest that children are overweight---并分析了孩子們變胖的三個(gè)主要原因，這些原因是通過(guò)列舉身邊的事實(shí)來(lái)分析的。所以這篇文章的主要目的是提供事實(shí)，故選B項(xiàng)；

考點(diǎn)：日常生活類閱讀。
