More than a third of adults【C1】_were estimated to be【C2】_or obese in 2008, according to a report by the Overseas Development Institute(ODI), a think tank in London. That“s a 23 per cent increase on 1980. In the

25、 to【C19】_low-fat meals, showing what governments can do when they【C20】_.(分数:40.00)(1).【C1】(分数:2.00)A.individuallyB.dependentlyC.globally D.partially解析:解析:根据本文首句的 Much of the world,推断此处需要一个与 world 对应的词,故选 C 项globally“全球地”。(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)A.slimB.healthyC.overweight D.unhealthy解析:解析:此处需要一个与 oberse“肥胖
26、的”意思相近的形容词,并且是 2014 年大部分人要节食的原因,所以选择 C 项 overweight“超重的”。(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)A.rich B.poorC.remoteD.uncultured解析:解析:此处讲“在过去的 30 年,发展中国家估计患有肥胖症的成年人翻了四番,已经超过了国家”,故此处填入一个与 developing“发展中的”相对的形容词,A 项 rich“富裕的”符合要求。(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)A.acceleratingB.benefitingC.affecting D.increasing解析:解析:本段最后一句提到 The problem
27、sare now global,这里的 The problems 指的是“跟过度食用肥肉相关的问题”,这说明肥胖问题已经是全球化的。由此可推断肥胖也势必影响全球经济,故选 C 项 affecting“影响”。(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.passedB.caused C.droppedD.stood解析:解析:此处的 The problems 指代的是 obesity“肥胖症”。而空格后意为“过度食用肥肉”,过度食用肥肉会导致肥胖。故选 B 项 caused“引发”,caused by 表示“由引起的”。(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)A.saltsB.vegetablesC.pep
28、persD.sugars 解析:解析:此空与 fats 并列,且与肥胖相关,根据 fats 跟肥胖的关系,可知 D 项 sugars“糖”符合要求,因为过量食糖也会导致肥胖。(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)A.friendlyB.linked C.usedD.supposed解析:解析:此处主语为 The rise“肥胖症人数的增长”。空格后为“饮食习惯的传播”。肥胖症是由饮食引起的,而世界各地饮食习惯传播正是导致肥胖人数增长的一个原因,故选 B 项,be linkedto 意为“与相关”。(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)A.pricesB.outcomesC.incomes D.cons
29、umers解析:解析:rising与 advertising 和 globalisation 并列,一起解释造成肥胖症人数增长的原因。文章首段提及“2014 年世界上大多数人都要节食”,“2008 年约有三分之一的成年过于肥胖”,这说明从整体而言人们吃得好了,生活水平提高了。故选 C 项 incomes“收入”。(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)A.voluntaryB.effectiveC.positiveD.unwilling 解析:解析:该句大意为“很多国家由于在处理这个问题上拖延或者而备受谴责”。此处需要一个形容词与 slow 并列,并且表示消极意义。故选 D 项 unwilling“
30、不情愿的”。(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)A.gap B.mistakeC.blankD.stick解析:解析:空格后提及了“政府推荐人们吃的”和“人们实际上吃的”。“政府推荐的”应该是健康的,而现实中很多人患有肥胖症,说明人们吃的很不健康。故推断“政府推荐吃的”和“人们实际吃的”之间差别很大,所以选 A 项 gap“差距”。(11).【C11】(分数:2.00)A.sugarB.nutrition C.proteinD.salt解析:解析:此处需要一个词来修饰 campaign,而这个运动的倡导者是政府,本文的主题是肥胖症。再联系空格前的 what government recomm
31、end people to eat,既然是政府推荐人们吃的,应该是营养均衡且不易使人发胖的,所以此处应该选择 B 项 nutrition“营养”。(12).【C12】(分数:2.00)A.denyB.avoidC.acknowledge D.neglect解析:解析:空格前为 governments“政府”,空格后面为 the scale of the problem“问题的严重性”,后半句提及“开始实施一些具体措施来解决这个问题”。解决问题前应先承认问题的严重性。故选 C 项acknowledge“承认”。(13).【C13】(分数:2.00)A.milderB.slowerC.weaker
32、D.stronger 解析:解析:上文提及问题的严重性,而此处需要填入一个词来修饰 steps to tackle it。由于问题严重,所以采取的措施应该比较强硬,故选 D 项 stronger“更强硬的,更有力的”。(14).【C14】(分数:2.00)A.managed B.plannedC.decidedD.intended解析:解析:空格前的 to go against the gram 意为“走相反的方向,背道而驰”。上一段开头提及“大多数国家的政策制定者因为拖延处理这个问题而备受谴责”。而此处提到“有些国家走相反的方向”,说明这些国家对于肥胖问题的态度是积极的。且下文韩国的例子也说
33、明这些国家成功做到了,故选A 项 managed“设法做到”。(15).【C15】(分数:2.00)A.damageB.improve C.decreaseD.consume解析:解析:上一段的开头提及“大多数国家的政策制定者因为拖延处理这个问题而备受谴责”。而此处提到“有些国家走相反方向”,说明这些国家对于肥胖问题的态度是积极的,故选 B 项 improve“改善”改善饮食。(16).【C16】(分数:2.00)A.pickleB.supperC.fruit D.fat解析:解析:上一段提及“很多国家的政策制定者因为在处理肥胖问题上很慢以及而受谴责”。有些国家(比如韩国)走相反道路,故推断韩
34、国的饮食是健康的,C 项 fruit“水果”属于健康食品,符合要求。(17).【C17】(分数:2.00)A.showsB.attributes C.contributesD.gives解析:解析:空格后的 this 指“这些走相反方向的国家迅速采取行动处理肥胖问题”。紧接下来的government health drives“政府推广健康饮食的行动”明显是水果食用量增多(即饮食更健康)的原因,故选 B 项,attribute sthto sth意为“把归功于”。(18).【C18】(分数:2.00)A.training B.insuranceC.preventionD.volunteerin
35、g解析:解析:空格后提及 how tolow-fat meals“如何低脂餐”,“如何低脂餐”应需要别人指导,故选与“指导”相关的 A 项 training“培训的”。(19).【C19】(分数:2.00)A.disposeB.reviewC.prepare D.ignore解析:解析:要解决国家范围内的肥胖问题,行之有效的办法是大家吃低脂餐,而要吃低脂餐必须先学会做。故选 C 项 prepare“准备,做”。(20).【C20】(分数:2.00)A.demandB.proposeC.interveneD.act 解析:解析:which 引导的非限制性定语从句解释说明前面的“政府推广健康饮食的
36、行动”,可推断这些项目都是政府的所作所为,故选 D 项 act“行动”,与前面的 programs“政府项目”相呼应。It“s easy to scare people about what“s in their food, but the danger is almost never real. And the【C1】_itself kills. Take the panic【C2】_genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. Ninety percent of all corn grown in America is genetically modif

41、e tests are needed. 【C18】_people don“t worry about crops bred in【C19】_varieties for centuries without farmers having any idea exactly what genetic changes【C20】_.(分数:40.00)(1).【C1】(分数:2.00)A.consumptionB.moodC.offenseD.fear 解析:解析:第 1 段提及 scare,danger,kills 等词语,推断讨论的话题应该是负面的。第 2 段开头部分提及 panic“恐慌”。D 项
42、fear 与 scare 和 panic 都为近义词,实现了词语同义复现,符合上下文逻辑,故答案选 D。(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)A.onB.over C.fromD.off解析:解析:第 2 段提到“转基因食品”的好处,而第 3 段第 2 句则讲有些人担忧,认为“转基因食品不是天然的”,由此可推测第 2 段是对第 1 段的举例,take 在这里应为“以为例”的意思,此处意为“以人们对转基因的恐惧为例”。panic over表示“对的恐惧”,因此选 B 项 over。(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)A.investedB.definedC.altered D.monitored解析:
43、解析:根据常识,科学家通过“捣鼓基因”能改变作物的种子,因此选 C 项 altered“改变”。(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)A.abundantB.addictedC.artificialD.appetizing 解析:解析:此处填入形容词,说明改良玉米和 bugs“害虫”之间的关系,此处应该表示积极色彩,即表示“不招惹害虫”,D 项 appetizing“开胃的,刺激食欲的”,跟 less 相连,符合语义。(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.fewer B.moreC.betterD.further解析:解析:空格前提到,改良后的基因能使玉米不那么招惹害虫,从而推断农场可以减少使用杀
44、虫剂,因此选 A 项 fewer。(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)A.interruptsB.upsets C.accusesD.shocks解析:解析:空格前的 This 指代上一段所述内容,即转基因农作物种种“非自然的”优势,而本段的unnatural“非天然的”、warns“警告”、causes“引起问题”则说明了人们对转基因食品的疑虑,故填入的词应含负面义,因此 B 项 upsets“使不安,心烦”符合上下文语义逻辑。(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)A.subjectB.scene C.seriesD.segment解析:解析:空格需填的词应是 warns 的主语,且与 movie
45、 有关。因此 B 项 scene“场景”符合要求,代入后表示“电影场景警示着人们”。(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)A.lackB.absenceC.failure D.fault解析:解析:空格填入名词,作 causes 的宾语,即“导致多种器官的”,四个选项均是负面的结果,但只有 C 项 failure 可表示“衰退”,能与器官搭配使用,因此选 C。(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)A.frightening B.detectingC.disputingD.revealing解析:解析:空格前的 almost as“和几乎一样”表明本段是顺承上文语义,继续讲述对转基因食品的疑虑,且 Mi
46、zhael 的引言中也含表否定意义的 can“t control,据此可推测 Michael 也认为转基因食品会带来坏处。根据上下文同义复现的 scare,fear,panic,upsets 等词,可知正确答案应是它们的同类词 A 项 frightening。(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)A.howB.thatC.where D.what解析:解析:空格后应为 control 的宾语从句,该从句的成分完整,因此推断空格处需要填入疑问副词,段落最末的词语是 location,因此 C 项 where 符合上下文逻辑。(11).【C11】(分数:2.00)A.lyingB.insistin
47、gC.carryingD.depending 解析:解析:此处需填入的动词与后边的介词 on 构成固定搭配。根据空格前的意思differenteffects可以大致推理出本句的完整意思是:不同的插入位置,就会有不同的后果。故选择 D项,depend on 意为“依赖,依靠”。(12).【C12】(分数:2.00)A.since B.asC.afterD.when解析:解析:本句主句的时态为现在完成时(“ve eaten),其时间状语通常为“since+过去时间”,故选择 A 项 since。(13).【C13】(分数:2.00)A.badlyB.much C.deadlyD.little解析:解析:根据上下文逻辑,此句大意是“没有书面记录显示有人因此而患病,哪怕是一声咳嗽的情况都没有”。not so much as 表示“甚至于没有,甚至不”,符合句意,故选择 B 项 much。(14).【C14】(分数:2.00)A.media B.missionC.mannerD.promotion解析:解析:空格与 activists 并列,由此可以知道填入的词语义上应与 activists“活跃分子”对应,而 activists 指上文所提到的对转基因食品感到害怕
