Question

【题目】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(警觉的)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】试题分析：肥胖是现代社会的主要问题之一。Deborah Cohen 的《A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It》一书中，作者介绍了人们对肥胖问题的几种误解。

【1】E 根据下句由转折意义的内容“But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.”（但该书认为下面几点是关于肥胖的几点误解）可知，人们对肥胖问题观点不一，故E项正确。

【2】B根据下句内容“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，美国肥胖的人数就翻了一番。该速度太快，可见肥胖并非遗传因素所致）可知，此处表示“肥胖比例有所增加，故B项正确。

【3】G 根据上句“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，如果我们面临太多信息，我们很可能会就节食作出糟糕的选择）可知，该句应表示“我们现在的食物如此丰富以致于我们会被引导以自己难以想象的方式去消耗食物”，故选G项。

【4】A根据下文“For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables”（对大多数人来讲，肥胖与得不到更多的新鲜水果和蔬菜无关）可知，人们的误解为：得不到新鲜蔬菜水果是肥胖的一种原因，故选A项。

【5】D 根据下句“although a drop in work-related physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.”（尽管跟工作相关的体力活动减少导致人们少燃烧多达100卡路里，但休闲体力活动似乎有所增加）可知，在二十世纪八十年代和九十年代，人们的体力活动并未明显减少，故选D项。
