9、Your money buys less. Sometimes people describe inflation as a time when “a dollar is not worth a dollar anymore“. Inflation is a problem for all consumers. People who live on a fixed income are hurt the best. Retired people, for instance, can not count【3】an increase in income as prices rise. Elderl

10、y people who do not work face serious problems in stretching their incomes to【4】their needs in time of inflation. Retirement income or any fixed income usually does not rise as fast as prices. Many retired people must cut their spending to keep up with rising prices. In many cases they must stop【5】s

11、ome necessary items, such as food and clothing. Even for working people whose incomes are going up, inflation can be a problem. The cost of living goes【6】, too. People who work must have even more money to keep up their standard of living. Just buying the things they need costs more. When incomes do

12、 not keep pace with【7】prices, the standard of living goes down.

Obesity is a worldwide phenomenon, affecting children as well as adults and forcing all but the poorest countries to divert scarce resources【2】from food security to take care of people with preventable heart disease and diabetes. To reverse the obesity epidemic, we must

17、address fundamental causes. Overweight comes from consuming more food energy than【3】expended in activity. The cause of this imbalance also is ironic: improved prosperity. People use extra income to eat more and be less active. Market economies encourage this. They turn people with expendable income

18、into consumers of aggressively marketed foods that are high in energy but low in【4】value, and of cars, television sets, and computers that promote sedentary behavior. Gaining weight is good for business. Food is particularly big business because everyone eats. Moreover, food is so overproduced that

In the United States, to take an extreme example, most adultsof all ages, incomes, educational levels, and census categoriesare overweight. The U. S. food supply provides 3,800 kilocalories per person per day, nearly tw

20、ice as much as required by many adults. Overabundant food forces companies to compete【6】sales through advertising, health claims, new products, larger portions, and campaigns【7】toward children. Food marketing promotes weight gain. Indeed, it is difficult to think【8】any major industry that might bene

39、数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：less）解析：解析：本句上半句中有 fewer，说明这里需要一个对等意思的词，less 是 little的比较级形式，恰好与 fewer对等。另外第二空后面的那个句子“Your money buys less”也提供了更直接的线索。(2).【2】（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：in）解析：解析：表达“在方面增长或减少”时，通常用 in与相应的名词搭配使用，另外，在本段第二句也有类似的表达方式：that causes rapid rises in prices。可见，这个空既是一个搭配问题，也有明确的上下文线索。(3)

40、.【3】（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：on）解析：解析：这里需要的意思其实不是“依靠”，而是“期望”或“指望”，因为人们通常所“依靠”的是业已拥有的东西，而对退休的人来说，涨工资已不再可能成为现实。count on 是“期望”或“指望”的意思。(4).【4】（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：meet）解析：解析：满足要求通常要用 meet，与其宾语 needs搭配。这是一个动宾搭配问题。(5).【5】（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：buying）解析：解析：上一句说退休的人要减少开支，这句话指出，在某些情况下，他们甚至不得
