Question

5．Many facts suggest that children a re 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 se lling 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．
  There is another argument that blames 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．

Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了许多事实都表明孩子超重，而且这种情况越来越严重．本文作者就此事实问题分析了原因．

解答 56．B  细节理解题．根据最后一段When they get home，they sit in front of the television------it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．可知经常看电视的人可能吃的不健康的食品更多．所以答案选B．
57．D  细节理解题． 根据第二段If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food．可知如果这种餐馆少一些，那孩子们买方便食品的机会就更少．所以作者认为孩子超重的原因是快餐店太多了．所以答案选D．
58．B  猜测词义题．根据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．作者想说，我们应该鼓励年轻人更积极起来，也要"steer"他们远离快餐店和一些不好的饮食习惯．所以可以猜测"steer"是指guide"指导，引导"．答案选B．
59．B   写作意图题．作者一开始就提出Many facts suggest that children are overweight---并分析了孩子们变胖的三个主要原因，这些原因是通过列举身边的事实来分析的．所以这篇文章的主要目的是提供事实，答案选B．
