14.Last week the American Medical Association voted,for the first time,to declare obesity(肥胖) a disease.How should the rest of us respond?When we meet obese people,should we cast them a knowing glance of concern and ask how they are doing?Should we send flowers and"get well soon"cards to obese family members and friends?
Should the U.S.declare war on obesity,as we once did on cancer?
If obesity truly is a disease,then over 78 million adults and 12 million children in America just got classified as sick.Yet many sensible people know that declaring obesity a disease is a mistake.Simply put,obesity is not a disease.To be sure,it is a risk factor for some diseases.
Yet everyone who is obese does not get sick,and many normal-weight people do not stay healthy.I have known slim people who took good care of themselves throughout their lives yet fell ill and died young.Others who exhibited no particular interest in their health and did not watch their weight lived to an old age.In most cases,we simply cannot tell from a person's weight what lies ahead for them in life.Consider Winston Churchill.Though average in height,Churchill weighed up to 250 pounds.He smoked cigars and drank relatively heavily.He did not work out.Yet he became perhaps the most important statesmen of the 20th century and one of the greatest politicians in history.He lived to age 90.
Is obesity bad for people?For some,especially patients who are extremely overweight,the answer is almost certainly yes.Would many overweight people benefit from exercising more and eating less?Again,the answer is likely yes.But this does not make obesity a disease.Many people are not harmed by carrying extra pounds,some may actually benefit from it.For these reasons,we should be careful before labeling obese people diseased.
25.What can we learn from the third paragraph?A
A.Over 90 million Americans are more or less overweight.
B.People with good sense would agree with the declaration.
C.More Americans suffer from obesity than any other diseases.
D.Obesity is the leading cause of most deadly diseases.
26.By mentioning Winston Churchill,the author wants toC.
A.tell us slim people are more likely to die young
B.show how successful an overweight person can be
C.prove overweight people are not necessarily unhealthy
D.encourage people not to care much about their way of living
27.What is the author's attitude towards the American Medical Association's    declaration on obesity?C
A.Favorable            B.Uncaring    C.Disapproving     D.Friendly
28.Where can we probably find the text?B
A.A government report             
B.A popular science magazine  
C.A website about losing weight       
D.A book about famous people.
4.Around 200 people who thought their only experience of the London 2012 Olympic Games would be minor heats of synchronized swimming (花样游泳) have received an unexpected hange to the men's 100m final because of an embarrassing ticketing mistake.
The London 2012 Organising Committee (Locog) confirmed on Wednesday that an error n its ticket selling had led to four synchronised swimming competitions being oversold by 10,000 tickets.
Locog and its ticket agent spent the Christmas period contacting ticket holders and offering them alternatives that included the tickets they had applied for but unsuccessful.The hanges need no additional cost.It has also offered to return any discrepancy (差额) if the n ew tickets cost less than the originals.Locog said the replacement tickets would come from a number of unsold seats across the Olympic Games and itwas doing all it could to make up the error to the fans who bought tickets.
Locog said the error occurred in the summer,between the first and second round of ticket sales,when a member of staff made a mistake,entering"20,000"into the computer rather than the correct figure of 10,000 remaining tickets.The error was discovered when Locog checked the number of tickets that had been sold against the final seating numbers,and began contacting ticket holders before Christmas.
Thousands of ticket holders have already struck lucky,changing to tickets for major events including swimming and athletics finals,and in around 200 cases the hottest of all,the men's 100m final.Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the synchronised swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event,August 5.
61.As a result of the ticketing mistake,about 200 peopleA   
    A.will luckily be able to watch the men's 100m final
    B.will not enjoy the synchronized swimming events
    C.will have to change their tickets to other games
    D.have applied for tickets to the men's 100m final
62.In order to solve the problem,the LocogD   
    A.required the holders to return the tickets
    B.allowed the holders to apply for another ticket
    C.would charge the discrepancy for changing the tickets
    D.offered to change the tickets without any extra cost
63.The underlined word"it"in the third paragraph refers toA.
    A.Locog                            B.the ticketing mistake
    C.the Olympic Games                D.the additional cost
64.How many ticket holders will have to change their tickets?B
    A.200.          B.10,000.           C.20,000.        D.30,000.
65.Which of the following is true according to the text?C
    A.The synchronized swimming is the hottest of the Olympics.
    B.Thousands of ticket holders refused to change their tickets.
    C.The men's 100m final will take place on August 5,2012.
    D.The number of tickets for synchronised swimming is 10,000.
1.Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising.Known as the"Photoshop Law",it also requires that agencies tell their audience if they've digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner.
The new law prohibits the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less,a designation based on internationally accepted measures.The figure matches the set of fixed limits by the U.S.Department of Health.
The law doesn't set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit.Lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law,but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want; stopping advertising companies from continuing to influence Israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty.
Some modeling agencies in Israel aren't happy.
They say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary and are not appropriate for every model.Many models who are totally healthy girls might be disqualified because of the law.Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.
However,plus-size American supermodel Emme told CNN that she thinks the law will cause other countries to make similar measures against showing underweight models."I think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy,"she said.
60.What is"Photoshop Law"about?B
A.Banning the use of underweight models.
B.Banning underweight models in advertising.
C.Banning changing pictures digitally.
D.Banning models in advertising.
61.The underlined word"suit"in Paragraph 3 meansC.
A.a set of clothing
B.a group of rooms
C.an action in court
D.a fitness to the case
62.What can we know from the passage?D
A.All models are happy about the law.
B.All advertising agencies are happy about the law.
C.The law makes no sense.
D.There are arguments over the beauty standard of models.
2.According to data from population reports and statistics made by the World Bank,Japanese people in 2013(61)lived(1ive),on average,to 83years old,and the country itself ranks (62)on the top five nations with the longest life expectancy(预期寿命).
(63)A major contributor to Japan's high life expectancy and overall health is their diet,as    determined by the country's Ministry of Health,Labour and Welfare.
According to a recent study (64)published(publish)by the BMJ,Japanese people (65)who/that kept on the traditional Japanese dietduring the 15-year study had a mortality rate(死亡率)15%lower    than those who did not.Further,those who (66)did keep were also (67)less(1ittle)likely to suffer from some dimases.
Japan's Ministry of Health,Labour and Welfare(68)breaks(break)the traditional Japanese diet down in their version of the food pyramid,called the"Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top."Though the Japanese diet gives special (69)importance(important)to high intakes of fish and soybean    products instead of fats,it is (70)generally(general)a balance of grains,vegetables,fish and meat,and    milk and fruits.However,the guide also includes snacks,sweets,cakes and alcoholic drinks.which can be consumed in control,rather than completely rejected.
13.Foxes and farmers have never got on well.These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals.They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population.Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside,with a group of specially trained dogs,followed by men and women riding horses.When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers,and follow strict codes of behavior.But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive,so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting.But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting,because they think it is cruel,has risen sharply.Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者).Sometimes these incidents lead to violence,but mostly saboteurs attempt to stop the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell,which the dogs follow.
Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself.But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport.A Labor Party Member of the Parliament(议会),Mike Foster,is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal.If the law is passed,wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
31.Why are foxes considered as harmful animals?D
A.Because they can't get on well with farmers.
B.Because they are very cruel.
C.Because they are shot by hunters.
D.Because they kill farm animals.
32.British hunters have been hunting foxesA
A.for recreation                                     
B.for the benefit of the farmers
C.to limit the fox population                            
D.to show off their wealth
33.How do fox hunting saboteurs often prevent foxes being hunted?B
A.By means of violence
B.By confusing the fox hunters.
C.By taking illegal action
D.By making laws.
34.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A
A.Only the rich can be regular fox hunters.
B.Hunters kill foxes by shooting or poisoning them.
C.Hunting foxes has some rules to follow.
D.More and more British people object to fox hunting.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?D
A.Mike Foster is a firm supporter of fox hunting.
B.Fox hunters and saboteurs seldom have conflicts nowadays.
C.The law to ban hunting wild animals will be passed in Britain this year.
D.As a sport,fox hunting may disappear in Britain in the future.
