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 will 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, 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 pastime(消遣), it also give 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 passage, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

A．Those who often took exercise.

B．Those who often watch TV.

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 so 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 passage is to _____.

A．tell a story         B．provide facts       C．give advice        D．compare opinions

 

【答案】

1.B

2.D

3.B

4.C

【解析】

試題分析：本文論述了現(xiàn)在的孩子們肥胖的原因，例舉了三方面的原因。一是周圍有太多的商店，餐館，孩子可以買到一些不健康的垃圾食品。二是父母在孩子很小的時候就給他們買這種垃圾食品，使孩子喜歡上了這些食物。三是孩子缺乏體育鍛煉。最后提出了建議要求家長鼓勵和引導孩子要多鍛煉，不要去買垃圾食品，進而改掉自己的壞習慣。

1.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an pastime(消遣), it also give them time to eat more unhealthy food.這些孩子看電視的同時，吃一些零食。故選B。

2.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I agree with this because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. 作者認為在孩子周圍有許多快餐店的原因，故選D。

3.這是詞義猜測題。根據(jù)therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active。因為as well as 的前后語意應是一致的，與encourage相對應，故選B。

4.這是寫作意圖題。根據(jù)最后一段可以看出作者的意圖是給出了解決這些問題的建議，故選C。

考點：這是一篇議論文。

點評：閱讀理解題目中的作者意圖題目可以包括意圖、態(tài)度、目的及題目，在考試中出現(xiàn)的比率很大。不同的文章可能有不同的寫作意圖,但寫作意圖通常有以下三種：1）to entertain readers（娛樂讀者，讓人發(fā)笑） 2) to persuade readers（說服讀者接受某種觀點）3) to inform readers（告知讀者某些信息）

本文屬于第二種情況。

Sometimes we are asked to make a speech in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.  1

So, you have to give a speech — and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (結(jié)結(jié)巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.

Cheep up!  2  Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your materials so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they can help you make your points clearer. 3  Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.  4  And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.

If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 5

A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.

B. Take several deep breaths after your speech.

C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.

D. Say what you have to say and then stop.

E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.

F. Never forget your audience.

G. Give it a try and see what happens.
