Question

More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese(肥胖). In fact, over obesity has reached such proportions that one big-city mayor has gone about banning large-sized, sugary soft drinks and the First Lady has been on a campaign to control the dietary offerings in public schools.

Even many adults who do not fit the clinic definition of obesity are still overweight, and a large percentage are looking for the best ways to lose weight.

Reducing pounds largely comes down to the two-sided factors of diet and exercise. Not carrying out the first one enough, and not getting enough of the second one, ends up giving the individual a recipe for being overweight.

Advising someone to eat less and exercise more might be the easiest advice possible, but it’s also, partially, an oversimplification. Dieting has more to do with the types of food you eat than how much you eat. Reduce the amount of red meat in your diet. If you don’t want to eliminate red meat altogether, choose cuts of meat with less fat content. Limit your intake of salt and starches. If you’ve got to have potato chips alongside your sandwich at lunch, choose the baked potato chips that contain less fat than the deep-fried chips. You might find you’re really not sacrificing that much in terms of taste.

A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, egg whites, fish and nonfat dairy products will certainly aid in the mission of losing weight. Drink more water and less sugary drinks. If you have to have a soda, a diet soda is a better option, but seltzer is an even better choice than that.

It’s important—if not always easy—to make sure you get at least some physical activity each and every day. If your feet won’t allow for a regular jogging regimen, then make sure you take lots of walks. Next time you need to mail a letter, walk to the mailbox instead of driving. Try to work in a daily walk in your neighborhood.

【解析】

試題分析:在美國，肥胖成了一個(gè)非常嚴(yán)重的社會(huì)問題，幾乎有三分之一的成年人體重都超過了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。在本文中作者介紹了減肥要注意的一些問題，比如：要節(jié)食和鍛煉同時(shí)進(jìn)行；要注意不食用某些含熱量高的食品等等。

1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段內(nèi)容Reducing pounds largely comes down to the two-sided factors of diet and exercise.可知當(dāng)人們要減肥的時(shí)候應(yīng)該是鍛煉和節(jié)食同時(shí)進(jìn)行，選B。

2.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段末句 the First Lady has been on a campaign to control the dietary offerings in public schools.可知答案選B。

3.D推理判斷題。文章第四段介紹與吃的量相比，節(jié)食應(yīng)該注意所吃食物的種類。換句話說，人們沒必要餓著自己以達(dá)到減肥的目的，而是更多的注意不要吃含熱量高的食物，選D。

4.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章末段在開頭提出It’s important—if not always easy—to make sure you get at least some physical activity each and every day.然后介紹了幾種鍛煉的方式，由此判斷本段中心內(nèi)容是關(guān)于鍛煉的，選C。
