18．The scientist has put forth a newtheory（理论） in his research field．

15．

A new report says there are now more obese people in the world than there are underweight people．Researchers from Imperial College London wrote the report．
The researchers examined health records from about 20million people for what they called the"world's biggest obesity study．"For the study，the researchers compared the body measurements of almost 20million adults．They found that from=1975to 2014，global obesity rates for men increased from 3.2percent of the population to 10.8percent．For women，it rose from 6.4percent to 14.9percent．The study found that more than 2.3percent of men and 5percent of women are considered severely obese．A severely obese individual has a body mass index （or BMI） of over 35kilograms per square meter．BMI is a way to measure a person's height compared to their weight．The study also found that about 1percent of men and 2percent of women are considered"morbidly （病态地） obese．"Such people have difficulty with simple activities because they are overweight．The researchers say there are now=55million morbidly obese adults worldwide．
Majid Ezzati is the chief writer of the report．He writes that"the number of people across the globe whose weight poses a serious threat to their health is greater than ever before．He adds that this epidemic （流行病） of severe obesity is too extensive to be dealt with just medications．He says coordinated global initiatives are needed to  tackle this crisis．These initiatives include looking at the"price of healthy food compared to unhealthy food，or taxing high sugar and highly-processed foods （深加工食品）．"
The researchers warn if the problem of obesity worsens，18percent of men and=21percent of women will be obese by 2025．

19．As a young man，Al was a skilled artist，a potter with a wife and two fine sons．One night，his older son developed a severe stomachache．Thinking it was only some common intestinal（肠的） disorder，neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously．But the boy died suddenly that night．
Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation，he always felt he was guilty．To make matters worse，his wife left him a short time later，leaving him alone with his sixyearold younger son．The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand，and he turned to alcohol for help．In time，Al became an alcoholic．
As the alcoholism progressed，Al began to lose everything he possessed-his land，house，etc．Finally Al died alone in a small bar．Hearing of Al's death，I thought，"What a totally wasted life!What a complete failure！"
As time went by，I began to revalue my earlier rough judgment．I knew Al's now adult son，Ernie．He is one of the kindest，most caring，and most loving men I have ever known．I saw the love between Ernie and his children，thinking that kindness and love had to come from somewhere．
I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father．One day，I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person．Ernie said quietly，"As a child until I left home at 18，Al came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，‘Love you，son．'．"
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure．He had not left any material possessions behind．But he had been a kind and loving father，and left behind his best love．

16．Why does most of the world travel on the right side to day？Theories differ，but there's no doubt Napoleon was a major influence．The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century．Some say that before the French Revolution，noblemen drove their carriages on the left，forcing the peasants to the right．Regardless of the origin，Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered，including Russia，Switzerland and Germany．Hitler，in turn，ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s．Nations that escaped right-hand control，like Great Britain，followed their left-hand tradition．
The U．S．has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers； earlier in its history，carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left，as it did in England．But by the late 1700s，people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift （改变） to the right．A driver would sit on the rear （后面的） left horse in order to wave his whip （鞭子） with his right hand； to see opposite traffic clearly，they travelled on the right．
One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U．S．occurred in the 20th century，when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left （ the reason was stated in a 1908catalog：the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge，especially if there is a lady to be considered）．Once these rules were set，many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard，including Canada in the 1920s，Sweden in 1967and Burma in 1970．The U．K．and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world's few remaining holdouts（坚持不变者）．Several Asian nations，including Japan，use the left as well-though many places useboth right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars．

32．Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right？C
A．They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century．
B．Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right．
C．Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country．
D．Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition．
33．Of all the countries below，the one that travels on the right isA．
A．Austria
B．England
C．Japan
D．Australia
34．Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the leftB．
A．in order to change traffic directions in the U．S．
B．so that passengers could get off conveniently
C．because rules at that time weren't perfect
D．though many countries were strongly against that
35．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE？C
A．Before the French Revolution，all the French people used the right．
B．People in Britain and the U．S．travel on the same side nowadays．
C．The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970．
D．All the Asian nations use the left at present．

17．Computer power is moving into the"cloud"-networks of data centers that use the Internet to supply all kinds of services，from e-mail and social networks to data storage and analysis．
The rise of cloud computing is rapid and causing huge changes in the tech industry．The old guard is suffering：this week's $67billion merger （合并） between Dell and EMC，makers of computers and storage devices respectively，was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud．Disruptive （捣乱的） newcomers are blooming：if Amazon's cloud-computing unit were a stand-alone public company，it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined．
The gains for customers have been equally dramatic．Compared with older IT systems，cloud computing is often much cheaper．It adds tremendous flexibility：firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software．In the cloud they can get hold of it in minutes．Their applications can be updated continually，rather than just every few months．Individual users can reach their e-mails，files and photos from any device．And cloud services also tend to be more secure，since providers know better than their customers how to protect their computing systems against hackers．
But cloud computing makes one problem worse．In the old IT world，once a firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database，it was difficult and costly to switch to another．In the cloud this"lock-in"is even worse．Cloud providers go to great lengths to make it easy to upload data．They accumulate huge amounts of complex information，which cannot easily be moved to an alternative provider．
Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services，software and devices，which is convenient but only for as long as you don't adventure outside their universe．Being locked in to a provider is risky．Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices．If a cloud provider goes bust （崩溃），its customers may have trouble getting back their data．
These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation．Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them．That is too heavy-handed，because strict rules will inhibit （阻碍） innovation in what is still a young industry．The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers'demands-just as in personal computers，where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems．
In the meantime，a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock-in．Firms that use more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected．So are those that keep their most important information in their own data centers．Consumers can take precautions，too．Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers （Google does well on this score）．Cloud computing promises its users many benefits，but don't mistake it for some sort of digital heaven．
50．The author takes"the merger between Dell and EMC"for example to showA．
A．the influence of cloud computing on computer and storage device makers
B．the miserable sufferings of old computer companies

A．it can make data easily be moved to another provider
B．it can create a network of services connected with devices
C．it may make it difficult for customers to recover their data
D．it will discourage an argument about stricter rules
53．It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs thatB．
A．the European politicians'advice is perfect
B．customers'demands play a role in setting standards
C．lock-in is caused by firms'storing information in their own centers
D．Google enables users to provide services and move data
