Questions 88-90 refer to the following advertisement.
Obese people are less productive in the workplace and more prone to injury, a study claims. The researchers say their findings were so extreme that overweight people may need to take longer breaks to recover from the strains of work. They assessed how long it took for people of various sizes to perform certain tasks in the workplace. Obese people had, on average, 40 per cent shorter endurance times.
The study, conducted at Virginia Tech and the University at Buffalo in the U.S., examined the endurance of 32 people in four categories: non-obese young, obese young, non-obese older, and obese older. Each of them completed three tasks that involved a range of skills: hand grip, shoulder elevation, and a simulated assembly operation. Every task involved periods of work and rest, and included a level of activity similar to manufacturing settings.
The number of people who are obese has doubled over the past three decades-and has been linked to higher rates of workplace injury and a greater number of days of sick. ‘Workers who are obese may need longer rest breaks to return to their initial state of muscle function,’ said Dr Cavuoto. Based on the increased fatigue found
among workers who are obese, workplace designers may need to consider adding fixtures and supports to minimize the amount of time that body mass segments need to be supported. ‘We believe our results will help to develop more inclusive ergonomic guideline,’ she added. The researchers also looked at the effect of obesity and age on endurance times.
Previous research has indicated that both age and obesity hamper mobility-particularly when it comes to walking and low-energy tasks. But the researchers in this study, published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, found no such link.

What does the “ergonomic guideline” (paragraph 3) mean?

A. guidelines aimed at improving working conditions
B. guidelines aimed at helping people lose weight
C. guidelines aimed at improving working efficiency
D. guidelines aimed at reducing the workload

答案:A
解析:
词义推断题。因为第五段提到肥胖员工需要更多的休息时间来恢复状态,继而提到“workplace designers may need to consider adding fixture and supports to minimize the amount of time that body mass segments need to be supported”,表明工作场所需要增加设备和支撑物来应对这一需求,所以ergonomic 指的就是工作条件的改善了。故选A。

Obesity:the Scourge of the Western World
Obesity is rapidly becoming a new scourge of the western world,delegates agreed at the 11th European Conference on the issue in Vienna Wednesday to Saturday. According to state-ments before the opening of the conference一of 2,000 specialists from more than 50 countries一1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight,and 250 million are obese.
Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said:“Obesity is a chronic ill-ness.In Germany,20 percent of the people are already affected,but in Japan only one per-cent.”But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.
Professor Friedrich Hopichler of Salzberg said:“We are living in the new age(but)with the metabolism of a stone-age man.”“I have just been to the United States.It is really terni-ble.A pizza shop is springing up on every corner. We have been overrun by fast food and Co-ca-Cola-ization.”
Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer. Hopichler said:“Eighty percent of all diabetics are obese,also fifty percent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty percent with adipose tissue complaints.”“Ten percent more weight means thirteen percent more risk of heart disease.Reducing one's weight by ten percent leads to thirteen percent lower blood pressure.”
Another expert Hermann Toplak said that the state health services should improve their financing of preventive programs.“Though the health insurance pays for surgery( such as re-ducing the size of the stomach)when the body-mass index is more than 40.That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilograms for a height of 1.70 meters.One should start earlier.”
Ludvik said that prevention should begin in school.“Child obesity(fat deposits)correlates with the time which children spend in front of TV sets.”The consequences were only apparent later on. No more than fifteen percent of obese people lived to the average life ex-pectancy for their population group.

It is estimated that there are______people suffering from obesity in the world.
A: 250,000,000
B:1,200,000,000
C: 1,450,000,000
D: 950,000,000

答案:A
解析:
题干意为“据估计,全世界有……人患有肥胖病”。备选项很特殊,全是数字,因此利用备选项中的数字作为定位线索,在第一段找到相关句:Obesity is rapidly becoming a new scourge of the western world,delegates agreed at the 11th European Conference on the issue in Vienna Wednesday to Saturday. According to statements before the opening of the conference一of 2,000 specialists from more than 50 countries一1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight , and 250 million are obese.相关句(定位线索词集中出现的句子)提到“全世界有12亿人体重超重,而2.5亿人肥胖”。由此判断答案为A。
题干意为“短文中提到在发达国家中……的居民可能受到肥胖的影响最 小”。利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语developed countries and areas , European, German,American, Japanese作为定位线索,同时关注题干中的修饰词least affected(受到影 响最小的),在第二段中找到相关句:Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said: “Obesity is a chronic illness. In Germany(与Germany呼应),20 percent of the people are already affected , but in Japan(与Japanese呼应)only one percent. ”But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.相关句提到“德国20%的人已经患有肥胖病,而日本只有1%”。在第三段中作者说他去过美国,那里到处是比萨店,快餐食品,可口可乐,可见美国的胖人也不少。至于全欧洲,因为这次关于肥胖问题的会议是在维也纳召开的,而且短文第一句提到肥胖症正迅速成为西方世界的祸害,由此可推断出欧洲胖人也不少,因此发达国家中受到肥胖症影响的最小的可能就是日本了。所以答案为D。
题干意为“下面哪种疾病最常伴随肥胖病出现?”关注题干中的修饰词most often,利用备选项中的细节信息词/短语high blood pressure, fatty tissue complaints, diabetes, stomach-ache作为定位线索,在第四段中找到相关句:Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer. Hopichier said:“Eighty percent of all diabetics(与diabetes呼应)are obese,also fifty percent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty percent with adipose tissue complaints.”“Ten percent more weight means thirteen percent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one's weight by ten percent leads to thirteen percent lower blood pressure.”相关句提到“80%的糖尿病患者肥胖,而高血压和脂肪组织疾病患者伴有肥胖症的都各为50%”,由此可见糖尿病并发肥胖病是最多的,所以答案为C。
题干意为“体重,心脏病和血压之间有什么关系?”利用题干中的细节信息词/短语correlation, body weight , heart disease, blood pressure作为定位线索,在第四段找到相关句:Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer. Hopichier said:“Eighty percent of all diabetics are obese,also fifty percent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty percent with adipose tissue complaints.”“Ten percent more weight means thirteen percent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one's weight by ten percent leads to thirteen percent lower blood pressure.”相关句提到“体重增加10%意味着患心脏病的危险性增加13%,体重减少10%可导致血压降低13%”,由此可判断答案为C项“体重越重,患心脏病和高血压的风险越大”。

第3题:

Being fat doesn’t necessarily mean you're unhealthy,according to a new study.Researchers at York University in Toronto found that obesity 1 doesnt increase your risk for mortality 2 it's 3 another metabolic risk factor,such as high blood sugar or high levels of bad cholesterol This is 4 most of the literature,Jennifer Kuk,a(n)5 professor of kinesiology at York University,writes in a press 6.She says 7,most studies defined"healthy"obesity 8 having up to one metabolic risk factor--which is an issue,9 conditions like high blood sugar and bad cholesterol increase mortality risk for anyone,skinny or fat.This is likely 10 most studies have reported that healthy'obesity is still 11 higher mortality risk,she says.The study looked at data of 54,089 men and women from five large studies,and 12 them into two groups:those who were obese and had no metabolic risk factors,and those who were obese and had metabolic 13 such as elevated glucose,blood pressure or lipids Researchers then looked at how many people in each group died,and 14 their numbers to the death rate for 15-weight folks who had no metabolic risk factors We found that a person of normal weight 16 no other metabolic nsk factors is Just as likely to die as the person with obesity and no other risk factors,"Kuk says.according to their 17 individuals with metabolically healthy obesity are actually not at an elevated mortality 18 This means that hundreds of thousands of people in North America with metabolically healthy obe sity will be told to lose weight when it's 19 how much benefit they'll actually 20 she concludes
4选?

A.in the case of
B.in contact wit
C.in contrast with
D.in cooperation with

答案:C
解析:
词组辨析题。空格所在句子指出,这与大多数文献形成了鲜明的。[A]in the case of“在……的情况下”,[B]in contact with“与……联络”,[C]in contrast with“与……对比”,[D]in cooperation with“与……合作”,结合上下文,后文中提到“大多数研究”,由此推断是与先前的研究进行对比,只有[C]in contrast with符合句意,故为正确答案。

because of their health cost,"Schmidt said."Similarly,leading a lazy lifestyle will end up costing taxpayers
more。"
US political scientist Eric Oliver said his first instinct was to laugh at these gas and fast food arguments.
But such claims are getting attention.
At the US Obesity Society's annual meeting,one person correlated obesity with car accident deaths,and
another correlated obesity with suicides.________(48)"The funny thing was that everyone took it seriously,"
Oliver said.
In a 1960s study,children were shown drawings of children with disabilities and without them,and a
drawing of an obese child.They were asked which they would want for a friend?________(49)
Three researchers recently repeated the study using college students.Once again,almost no one,not
even obese people,liked the obese person."Obesity was stigmatized,"the researchers said.
But,researchers say,getting thin is not like quitting smoking.People struggle to stop smoking,and,in

A. Obese people are less productive in work
B. Obese people find it hard to recover from strain
C. Obese people are more likely to get injured
D. Obese people suffer from poor mobility

答案:D
解析:
细节题。定位到最后一段第一句提到“Previous research has indicated that both age and obesity hamper mobility”(之前的研究表明年龄和肥胖都会妨碍到一个人的移动性),即肥胖会带来行动的不变,所以D 想符合这一意义,poor 照应了原文中的hamper 一词。

Obesity(肥胖)in the Western World
Obesity is rapidly becoming a new problem of the western world,delegates agreed at the 1 1 th European Conference on the issue in Vienna Wednesday to Saturday.According to statements before the opening of the conference-of 2,000 specialists from more than 50 countries-1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight, and 250 million are obese.
Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said:"Obesity is a chronic illness.In Germany, 20 per cent of the people are already affected,but in Japan only one per cent."But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.
Professor Friedrich Hopichier of Salzberg said:"We are living in the new age(but)with the metabolism (新陈代谢)of a stone-age man."" I have just been to the United States.It is really terrible.A pizza shop is spnnglng up on every corner.We have been overrun by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization."
Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer.Hopichier said:"Eighty percent of all diabetics are obese,also fifty per cent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty per cent with adipose (脂肪的)tissue complaints." " Ten per cent more weight means thirteen per cent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one's weight by ten per cent leads to thirteen per cent lower blood pressure."
Another expert Hermann Toplak said that the state health services should improve their financing of preventive programs."Though the health insurance pays for surgery(such as reducing the size of the stomach) when the bodymass index is more than 40.That is equivalent to a weight of 1 1 6 kilograms for a height of 1.70 meters.One should start earlier."
Ludvik said that prevention shoald begin in school."Child obesity(fat deposits)correlates(与……相关)with the time which children spend in front of TV sets."
The consequences were only apparent later on.No more than fifteen per cent of obese people lived to the average life expectancy for their population group.

Which of the following is most often accompanied by obesity?
A:Diabetes.
B:High blood pressure.
C:Stomachache.
D:Adipose tissue complaints.

答案:A
解析:
由第二段内容可知,日本仅有1%的人患有肥胖症,但并未提到日本的民众不用担心肥胖症,故A项错误。同样,德国有20%的人患有肥胖症,而不是说全球,故C项错误。又由该段最后一句可知,新的科学发现以及新的药物给肥胖症患者带来了希望,而并未说肥胖症就应该用新的药物治疗,故D项错误。文章第二段中提到,肥胖症是一种慢性病。故B项正确:
由文章第四段第二句可知,Hopichier教授说80%的糖尿病患者都患有肥胖症,但并未说糖尿病主要是由肥胖症引起的,故可排除A项。又根据此句后半句可知,有50%的糖尿病患者血压高,而不是说50%的高血压患者抱怨肥胖,故又可排除B项。同时,文中只是说美国的披萨店到处可见,并未说其提供的快餐不可口,故又可排除C项。又由文章第四段第三句可知,该教授认为:体重每增加10%,心脏病发生的几率将会增加13%。故本题选D。
由文章第五段第一句可知,该名专家认为,公共医疗卫生服务应该提高对预防机制的投资,故选B。
由文章第四段第二句话可知,80%的糖尿病人是肥胖者,故选A。
consequence是含义为“后果,结果”。文章后半部分都在讲各方面专家所给出的减肥建议,倒数第二段更是提出防止肥胖要从孩子抓起。"Ludviksaidthatpreventionshouldbegininschool.""Childobesity(fatdeposits)correlates(与……相关)withthetimewhichchildrenspendinfrontofTVsets.”但减肥的效果如何,人们只能拭目以待。所以根据逻辑关系,应该选A。
