二，阅读理解
Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children thesedays take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.



1. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A. Those who often take exercise.
B. Those who often watch television.
C. Those who often have meals at home.
D. Those who often walk to school.

2. The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A. forcing
B. guiding
C. driving
D. moving

3. The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A. tell a story
B. provide facts
C. give advice
D. compare opinions

1. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A. Those who often take exercise.
B. Those who often watch television.
C. Those who often have meals at home.
D. Those who often walk to school.
选B。根据文章，什么 样的儿童会吃更多的不健康食品？
见原文倒数第二段：it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.那么是什么 样的儿童呢？再向前一句话：When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games.所以，是看电视和玩电脑的儿童，答案选B。

2. The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A. forcing
B. guiding
C. driving
D. moving
选A。最后一句话中的划线词"steering"很有可能意思是？
选B。steer的原意是：驾驶, 掌舵。文章最后一段说，要通过驾驶，掌舵的方法让孩子们远离快餐店和不良的饮食习惯，可以体会到此处的引申义是引导，因为儿童年龄还小，需要适当的教育和引导。所以答案选B。

3. The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A. tell a story
B. provide facts
C. give advice
D. compare opinions
选C。这篇文章的主要目的是什么？
本文，作者通过分析导致儿童肥胖的三个原因，分别对症下药，提出了解决这一日渐严重的问题的解决办法。可见，作者写作的主要目的就是提出建议，答案选C。

全文翻译：
很多事实表明，大多数儿童超重，并且根据医生所说，这个情况愈演愈烈。我觉得这是由一系列原因造成的。

一些人抱怨我们身边充满了低价出售诸如炸鸡，冰淇淋等不健康、油腻食品的商店。这导致这一代成年人几乎没有给自己做过饭。如果这样的饭馆少一些，儿童可能就会少买一些外带食品。

另外一些人认为，孩子超重，应该归咎于家长。我同意这个观点，因为好的饮食习惯是在幼年养成的，远远早于孩子们开始光临零食铺。如果家长们给孩子吃的是炸鸡巧克力而不是健康食品，或者家长们总是允许孩子吃他们想吃的东西，那么他们每次都会去吃甜食和盐分过高的食物，并且一辈子养成习惯。

第三个原因是，现在的儿童很少运动。他们不走路去学校。到家以后就坐在电视前，或者坐在电脑前玩电脑游戏。这不仅是一种不健康的娱乐活动，更给了孩子们吃更多不健康食品的机会。他们需要走到户外，积极进行锻炼或做游戏。

以上就是导致儿童肥胖的主要原因，因此我们不仅要鼓励年轻人积极锻炼，而且要引导他们远离快餐店和不良的饮食习惯。
