Todays youngsters
26、 are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes because of their weight. Fatty fast-food diets combined with sedentary lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tr
27、opical Medicine. At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolutionary shift because adults are getting so fat. Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36-38 in and may be 42-44 in by 2032. This compares with only 32.6 in in 1972.
28、Womens waists have grown from an average of 22 in in 1920 to 24 in in the Fifties and 30 in now. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger. In the UK alone, more than one million under-16s are classed as overweight or obese double the number
29、in the mid-Eighties. One in ten four-year-olds are also medically classified as obese. The obesity pandemican extensive epidemic which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australia, Central America and the Middle East. Many nations now record more than 20 percent of their population as clin
30、ically obese and well over half the population as overweight. Prof. Prentice said the change in our shape has been caused by a glut of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments. He is not alone in his concern. Only la
31、st week one medical journal revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases. Obesity also increases the risk factor for strokes and heart disease. An averagely obese persons lifespan is shortened by around nine years, while a severely obese person by many more. Prof Prentice said: “So will
32、parents outlive their children, as claimed recently by an American obesity specialist?“ The answer is yes and no. Yes, when the offspring become grossly obese. This is now becoming an alarmingly common occurrence in the US. Such children and adolescents have a greatly reduced quality of life in term
33、s of both their physical and psychosocial health. So say No to that doughnut and burger. 31 What does the word “sedentary (Para. 2)“ mean? （ A） Sit still. （ B） Eat too much. （ C） Study very hard. （ D） Passive thinking. 32 Which statement is TRUE? （ A） The average waist size for a man is 36-38 in. （
34、B） The average waist size for a woman is 30 in. （ C） In the mid-Eighties, more than half million under-16s in the UK are classed as overweight. （ D） The obesity pandemic has now spread to South America. 33 According to Prof. Prentice. what are the reasons for the change in our shape? （ A） We eat too
35、 much and refuse to do physical exercises. （ B） High-energy foods are easy to get and technology develops fast. （ C） High-energy foods are the main diet and we use technology. （ D） High-energy foods are easy to get, and we consume less energy. 34 Obesity increases the risk factor of_. （ A） diabetes,
36、 short sight, cancer, strokes （ B） diabetes, cancer, strokes, psychosocial illness （ C） cancer, strokes, fatty, heart disease （ D） strokes, heart disease, diabetes, headache 35 What does the author mean by “So say No to that doughnut and burger“? （ A） Answering the question “will parents outlive the
37、ir children?“ （ B） The doughnut and burger should be banned. （ C） We should lead a healthy life. （ D） We should begin dieting. 36 What does “outlive“ in the last paragraph mean? （ A） live outside home （ B） have longer lifespan （ C） die before （ D） have a outdoor life 36 In a sense, the new protectio
38、nism is not protectionism at all, at least not in the traditional sense of the term. The old protectionism referred only to trade restricting and trade expanding devices, such as the tariff or export subsidy. The new protectionism is much broader than this: it includes interventions into foreign tra
39、de but is not limited to them. The new protectionism, in fact, refers to how the whole of government intervention into the private economy affects international trade. The emphasis on trade is still there, thus came the term “protection“. But what is new is the realization that virtually all governm
40、ent activities can affect international economic relations. The emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the victory of the interventionist, or welfare economy over the market economy. Jab Tumiler writes, “The old protectionismcoexisted, without any apparent intellectual diff
41、iculty with t he acceptance of the market as a national as well as an international economic distribution mechanism indeed, protectionists as well as (if not more than) free traders stood for laissez faire (放任政策 ). Now, as in the 1930s, protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to t
42、he ability of the market to distribute resources and incomes to societies satisfaction.“ It is precisely this profound skepticism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism. In a market economy, economic change of various color simplies redistribution of resources and incomes. T
43、he same opinion in many communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper. Therefore, the government intervenes to bring about a more desired result. The victory of the welfare state is almost complete in northern Europe. In Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and the Netherland
44、s, government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal. In Great Britain this is only somewhat less true. Government traditionally has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so. Only West Germany dares to go against the tid
45、e towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe. It also happens to be the most successful Western European economy. The welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as in Western Europe. Social security, unemployment insurance, minimum wage laws, and rent control a
46、re by now traditional welfare state elements on the America scene. 37 This passage is primarily concerned with discussing_. （ A） the definition of the new protectionism （ B） the difference between new and old protectionism （ C） the emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world （ D） the sig
47、nificance of the welfare state 38 What is the real cause of the new protectionism? （ A） The old one has begun to be unable to explain the new situation of different countries. （ B） The welfare developed really fast in Northern Europe. （ C） There is some suspect of the regulating ability of the curre
48、nt market. （ D） The old protectionism is too limited in its definition. 39 What does the phrase “stood for (Para.1)“ mean? （ A） represented （ B） held out （ C） tolerated （ D） disapproved 40 Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of a welfare state mentioned in this passage? （ A） Fr
