　　体裁：议论文　话题：健康生活　时间：7分钟

　　A new study suggests you are where you live—at least in terms of weight.

　　A rural address could be a risk factor for being overweight，according to the research published in the fall issue of The Journal of Rural Health.

　　The study，led by researchers at the University of Kansas，analyzed data from the National Center for Health Statistics.They said it is the first in more than 30 years to use actual measurements of height and weight，rather than self­reported data，which can be unreliable.

　　About 70 million Americans，or 23% of the population，live in rural areas.The researchers found that 39.6% of them are obese(肥胖的)，while 33.4% of urban residents are obese.Including overweight people as well，the comparative totals are 70.8% and 67.1%，the study said.

　　The factors at work could be the “cultural diet” of rural America，as well as the isolation(隔离) that often exists，said the lead researcher，Christie Befort，assistant professor of

　　preventive medicine and public health at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

　　That diet includes “rich homemade foods” with lots of meat and desserts，she said.Rural Americans typically consume more fats than their urban counterparts，the study found.

　　Another factor could be the increased mechanization(机械化) of farm work，Befort said.Older generations showed less difference in weight than younger ones—older farmers would have put in more physical labor，she said.

　　“Although some intervention(介入) research has begun to address

　　obesity among rural adults and families，great attention needs to be focused on widespread effective programs in rural areas，which contain some of the largest medically underserved communities in the nation，” the researchers said.

　　【语篇导读】　肥胖症的研究有了新的发现——居住地也是造成肥胖症的重要因素。39.6%的美国乡下居民患有肥胖症，这与油腻的饮食、农场机械化、落后的医疗服务等有很大的关系。

　　1．What do we know about the study about weight in the passage?

　　A．The new study is the first study of rural obesity in the past 30 years.

　　B．The new study is the first time to research into the cause of obesity.

　　C．Results in the past years can be inaccurate as they haven't adopted actual measurements.

　　D．The result of the new study is not reliable at all.

　　解析　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，这个研究分析了国家健康中心的数据，是近30年来第一次使用身高和体重的实际测量数据，而不是使用未必可靠的“自我报告的数据(self­reported data)”，从这些信息可推知，过去的研究数据不是很准确，不太可靠。因此选C。

　　答案　C

　　2．What

　　do we know from the fourth paragraph?

　　A．The rural population in America has increased by 23%.

　　B．About 27.72 million rural Americans have the problem of obesity.

　　C．Obese people have moved to live in the countryside for its natural environment.

　　D．23% of the 70 million Americans live in the countryside.

　　解析　推理判断题。第四段说美国人口的23%，即七千万美国人，住在农村，其中39.6%是肥胖者，因此B正确(39.6%×70 million＝27.72 million)。C项文章未提及，A、D项均是对第四段第一句话的曲解。

　　答案　B

　　3．What does the report suggest to deal with the problem?

　　A．Calling on the farmers to do more physical work.

　　B．Paying attention to widespread effective programs in rural areas.

　　C．Getting farmers connected with each other.

　　D．Persuading people to move to the urban area.

　　解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，研究者认为应该更关注向农村——那里有医疗服务极其低下的地区——推广有效的项目，由此推断选B。

　　答案　B

　　4．What does the underlined word“address” in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．deal withB．write downC．refer toD．cure

　　解析　猜测词义题。最后一段研究员介绍了如何应对肥胖问题，因此该词的含义应该是“对付，处理”，而不是“治疗”。

　　答案　A

　　【长难句解读】　

　　原文　“Although some intervention(介入) research has begun to address obesity among rural adults and families，great attention needs to be focused on widespread effective programs in rural areas，which contain some of the largest medically underserved communities in the nation，” the researchers said.

　　译文　研究者称：“尽管已经开始了一些介入性的研究来解决乡村成年人与家庭的肥胖问题，但也需要关注向乡村地区大范围地推广有效的项目，在乡村有些地方医疗水平极其低下。”

　　分析　Although在句中引导让步状语从句，which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词rural areas。

　　, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　Then I went to neighbors for help.My husband arrived after ten minutes.The helpful

　　neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen(圈)．Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.

　　【阅读理解】科普知识类

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert(警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.

　　Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates(估计)more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.

　　The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation’s emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.

　　“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.

　　Participation in the alert system by carriers—telecommunications companies—is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.

　　The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.

　　There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.

　　The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats”, which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction(绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.

　　The service could be in place by 2010.

　　1. What is the purpose of the approved plan?

　　A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.

　　B. To popularize the use of cell phones.

　　C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.

　　D. To promote the wireless industry.

　　2. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of　.　

　　A. CTIA

　　B. the Warning Alert and Response Network Act

　　C. FCC

　　D. federal regulators

　　3. The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by　.　

　　A. the US federal government

　　B. mobile phone users

　　C. the carriers themselves

　　D. the law of the United States

　　4. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?

　　A. They must accept the alert service.

　　B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.

　　C. They must send the alerts to others.

　　D. They may choose the types of messages.

　　5. An alert message will NOT be sent if　.　

　　A. a child loses his way

　　B. a university shooting happens

　　C. a natural disaster happens

　　D. a terrorist attack occurs

　　6. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

　　A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students

　　B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry

　　C. Cell Phone Alerts of Natural Disasters

　　D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon
