    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    We all have to eat, but choosing the right foods can be hard. Many people also have trouble controlling how much they eat.

     Instead of eating a reasonable quantity of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and other healthy foods, lots of people eat too many hamburgers, cookies and chips. Many people just eat too much food in general.

     One result is the spread of obesity, which has enlarged the waistlines of millions of adults and kids. The increase in obesity has led to an increase in the number of people with diabetes（糖尿病）, heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

     But for many other people, food has become their enemy. They worry so much about getting fat that they either severely limit what they eat or make themselves throw up right after eating. Doctors say that these people have eating disorders.

     Eating disorders among teens are far less common than obesity, yet the health problems of eating disorders can be just as serious as obesity.

     Not eating enough can lead to heart attacks, weak bones,, organ damage and fainting spells. Repeatedly throwing up causes chemical imbalances in the body, makes your teeth weak and destroys stomach lining （胃粘膜）.

     Researchers are doing research on what causes certain people to develop eating disorders, why some people are more in danger than in others, and what kind of education programs work best to prevent people from doing dangerous things to lose weight to stay slim.

     “It’s important to learn how to recognize signs of eating disorders in yourself, your family members and your friends,” a doctor says, “because research shows that getting treatment early is the key to a quick recovery.”

    1. This passage mainly talks about_______.

     A. why some people eat too much food

     B. how people limit the food they eat

     C. the problems that people have with eating

     D. how eating disorders lead to many diseases

    2. The underlined word in the third paragraph probably means “________”.

     A. being too fat     B. being too thin     C. being too worried     D. being too old

    3. The purpose of writing this passage is to ________.

     A. let people realize the importance of healthy eating

     B. tell people what they should eat

     C. draw people’s attention to keeping fit

     D. warn people not to eat too much

    4. According to the doctor, what is the most important thing for the early treatment of eating disorders?

    　　The European capital cities, Berlin and London, running the third and the fourth richest economies in the world, both produce about a metric ton of rubbish for each household per year．But when it comes to disposing of their citizens’ waste, the comfortable similarities end．

    　　London, and Britain as a whole, is in the middle of a waste crisis．Today, the environment secretary, Margaret Beckett, is presiding over a waste summit to try to find out why the UK is not going to reach its 25％ recycling and composting(转制成堆肥)target by 2005; currently, it is managing 11％．

    　　By comparison, Berlin and Germany know exactly where they are going．Although Berlin has been the capital for less than a decade, and has had east and west to unite, it has already reached 40％ recycling．The city has one ambition：to have no rubbish to dump or burn in 20 year’s time．So far, the city has not decided quite how, but it is developing new technologies and moving steadily in the right direction．London, by comparison, has a chaotic system．The 33 boroughs all have different recycling systems．

    　　Ken Livingstone, who since taking office as mayor has published a brand-new waste management strategy for the capital, is responsible for sorting out this hotch potch(杂乱的一堆东西)．One of the most contentious issues both for London and Berlin is incineration(焚烧), with both cities burning a large proportion of their waste－London 20％ and Berlin 32％．

    　　Here again Berlin has made decisions and London is uncertain．Berlin has a state of the art incinerator in the 1970s and upgraded constantly until in the 1990s it is impossible to detect any emissions but warm gases．The city has abandoned plans to build another and instead wants to make the existing one redundant by reducing the waste so there is none to burn．

    　　London boroughs have plans to increase the size of the incinerator at Edmonton and there are plans to build more elsewhere．But Livingstone is resisting and the government is already rethinking its current energy from waste policy．

    　　Samantha Heath, the chair of Greater London Authority’s environment committee, wants to invest in the market for recycled goods so there is somewhere for the material to go and a prospect of selling it, or at least disposing of it for less than the price of incineration or landfill

    　　Ingolf Rank, spokesman for Berlin’s City Cleaning company has some advice：“The first task is to get the public on your side．” Each household has to pay 40 pounds every three months to dispose of its rubbish．In future, the less they create, the more they recycle and compost, the less they will have to pay, he says．

    　　Each house in Berlin has a series of different coloured bins for refuse so glass, paper and plastics can be separated for recycling．This allows 800 000 tonnes of rubbish a year to be turned back into useful items．

    　　But Berlin has ideas that have not ever been heard of in London．For example, at this time of year, thousands of trees that line Berlin’s streets shed their leaves．Rather than put these leaves into general rubbish and add to the problems of disposal, they are collected up in large vacuum cleaners and turned into garden compost．Most of London has no composting service at all．

    　　Another system that stops material even being called rubbish is a collection service for second-hand furniture and electrical goods less than seven years old．Each offering is inspected, taken to a central shop, and sold at low cost to poorer people．It saves a lot of material being dumped．

    　　Not all goes according to plan in Berlin, however．Rank says that people dump waste in the streets, like mattresses, old furniture or just general rubbish cost the city 2.8 million pounds a year．

    　　One problem the city has tried to solve but failed, is the excreta of 150 000 dogs．Rank says it is the owners’ responsibility to clean up after their pets but police who tried enforce the law were “sometimes bitten(by the dogs), insulted by the owners and even beaten up．As a result we still have to clean up 40 tonnes of droppings every day．Nobody is happy about that．”

    When he came secretly to Europe with a historical mission（使命）, Kissinger was made to stay with Walters, the military atache （大使馆武官） of the American Embassy in this European country. Walters was in charge of the communication work between Kissinger and the Chinese ambassador there. There was a garage in Walters’ basement. Walters would drive the car directly into the garage. And then he would try to avoid his housekeeper and lead Kissinger upstairs without being seen. Walters told her that his guest was General Gilshiman. She had taken Kissinger for General Gilshiman since then till one day when she saw on TV Kissinger talking to a newspaper man that she began to doubt the whole thing. She then told Walters she knew who he was. It was Dr. Kissinger himself. “How can that be possible?” Walters said. “Kissinger is a big shot, special adviser to the president. If he comes to this capital he is sure to stay in the ambassador’s luxurious residence, but not in a small place like mine. If you look at them separately my friend General Gilshiman is truly very much like Dr. Kissinger; but if you compare them when they are standing side by side you’ll find they are not at all alike.” So the housekeeper accepted what Walters said as true.?

    1．Dr. Kissinger was ___________ at that time.

    A．General Gilshiman                    B．the biggest shot of the U.S.
