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(包圍)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.

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.

1.According to the text,what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

A.Those who often take exercise.

B.Those who often watch television.

C.Those who often have meals at home.

D.Those who often walk to school.

2.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ________.

A.their parents often cook meals for them

B.they are too busy to go out and play

C.they can’t choose what to eat

D.there are too many fast food shops around

3.The word“steering”underlined in the last sentence most probably means ________.

A.forcing                                   B.guiding

C.driving                                   D.moving

4.The main purpose of the text is to ________.

A.tell a story                              B.provide facts

C.give advice                               D.compare opinions

 

Answer 1

【答案】

1.答案:B

解析:這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“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.”可知他們?cè)诩依锟措娨暤臅r(shí)候，有時(shí)間吃更多不健康的食品。

2.答案:D

解析:這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包圍) by shops selling unhealthy,fatty foods,such as fried chicken and ice cream”可知孩子發(fā)胖的原因之一是身邊有太多賣不健康食品，肥胖食品的快餐店。

3.答案:B

解析:這是一道詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，為了解決孩子太胖的問題，需要讓孩子們遠(yuǎn)離快餐店和不良飲食習(xí)慣。B和C兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)在意思和語(yǔ)法上都是對(duì)的，但是對(duì)待孩子應(yīng)該引導(dǎo)，而不是驅(qū)趕，所以B選項(xiàng)更好。

4.答案:C

解析:這是一道主旨題。本文分析了幾個(gè)使孩子變胖的因素并提出了如何控制孩子變胖的建議，目的是建議讓孩子讓孩子們遠(yuǎn)離快餐店和不良飲食習(xí)慣。
