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(責(zé)備) 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（一代人）） of grown-ups who don’t often 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 probably choose 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：文章大意：許多事實(shí)都表明孩子超重而且這種情況越來越嚴(yán)重。本文作者就此事實(shí)問題分析了原因。

1.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)常看電視的人可能吃的不健康的食品更多。所以答案選B。

2.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。所以答案選D。

3.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，我們應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)年輕人更積極起來，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)”。答案選B。

4.判斷正誤題。 根據(jù)最后一段最后一個(gè)句子therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active,說明A項(xiàng)正確。根據(jù)句子 --- away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.說明B項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)正確。C項(xiàng)說父母不應(yīng)該給孩子們做飯，此項(xiàng)不正確。所以答案選C。

5.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，這些原因是通過列舉身邊的事實(shí)來分析的。所以這篇文章的主要目的是提供事實(shí)，答案選B。
