Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
(2013·湖北高考)We've reached a strange—some would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.
Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What's going on?
We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public－health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.
In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public－health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.
Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world's most body －conscious country.
We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.
Others blame good food. They say: it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American－style fast food.
Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape，or rather slim.
It's a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.
1．What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?
A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.
B．Starvation is taking more people's lives in the world.
C．WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety.
D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO's
efforts.
2．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?
A．A lot of effective diet pills are available.
B．Body image has nothing to do with good food.
C．They have been made fully aware of its dangers.
D．There are too many overweight people in the world.
3．The example of Finland is used to illustrate________．
A．the cause of heart disease
B．the fashion of body shaping
C．the effectiveness of a campaign
D．the history of a body－conscious country
4．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Actions or Excuses?
B．Overweight or Underweight?
C．WHO in a Dilemma
D．No Longer Dying of Hunger
B
It is well known that the Japanese people's love of fish is almost as strong as a bee's interest in honey.As fish populations were decreasing，fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore.Then they had a big challenge—how to keep the fish fresh for longer.So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats.But the public did not like frozen fish.So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge.What they decided to do was have fish tanks on their boats.After catching fishes，they would put them in the tanks and keep
them living there until they got back to shore.But in this protected environment，lacking predators(掠食者)，the fish stopped moving around.The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh，which had an unpleasant effect upon sales.Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge...
Stop for a minute！Before we go any further，I would like to ask “What are your challenges？How do you handle an unexpected challenge？”May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges？Conquer them with a Swiss Army knife.Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation.
Now back to our story.How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish problem？Sharks！You might think the same.Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes.Don't sharks eat fish？Well，they do eat a few fish，but they did also keep more fish active and alert(警觉的)．The fish stay fresh because they are challenged.

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。

这个世界真奇怪，一方面，我们在与全球性饥饿
问题作斗争；另一方面，肥胖成为人类健康的杀手。

在有些国家人们吃减肥药，或者做手术去掉多余的脂肪，而且这已成为一种时尚。

真正解决问题的办法是锻炼，但人们不想动，而且难以拒绝美食的诱惑。

看来解决肥胖问题任重道远。

1．A细节理解题。

第一段指出一个奇怪的现象：一方面，世界卫生组织的报告表明应对世界性的饥饿问题至关重要；另一方面，死于肥胖的人增多，由此判断选A：生活太好带来的危害比生活太苦带来的危害更多。

B项“饥饿使世界上更多的人死去”、C项“世界卫生组织的报告表明人们不关注食品安全问题”、D项“尽管世界卫生组织在努力，肥胖问题依旧没有解决”都不正确。

2．C推理判断题。

第三段说，从2001年开始的公众健康运动已经使肥胖的危害深入人心，以至于在芬兰，人们吃减肥药，做脂肪切除手术；第六段说，我们知道要减肥的话我们该做什么，但做不做又是另外一个问题了。

从这些信息看，作者认为现在肥胖率居高不下的原因是，人们知道肥胖的危害，但就是不采取措施锻炼减肥。

3．C推理判断题。

文章在介绍芬兰的情况时说，在20世纪70年代，在芬兰，肥胖引起的心脏病发病率世界最高，通过公众健康运动，心脏病的死亡率在过去30年下降了80%。

因此作者介绍芬兰的目的不是为了说明心脏病的起因、塑身的时尚、意识到身体问题的国家的历史，而是说明这个国家掀起的健康运动的效果：降低了心脏病发病率。

4．A主旨大意题。

本文作者围绕肥胖问题进行了论述，说人们都知道肥胖的危害，却不愿意积极锻炼，宁可通过吃减肥药或切除脂肪来减肥，还把肥胖问题归咎于快餐，归咎于自己的遗传基因等等，因此本文的题目应该是A项：是行动起来，还是继续为自己找借口？
5．A细节理解题。

由第一段中的“As fish populations were decreasing，fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore.”可知选A。

6．D细节理解题。

由第三段可知答案。

7．C推理判断题。

鲨鱼和鱼的关系是存亡关系，通过鲨鱼激发鱼类为了生存要不断抗争的活力，同样狼和藏羚羊也是这样，藏羚羊不抗争就会被狼吃掉。

8．C写作意图题。

最后一段说明，人也要不断寻找挑战来使自己取得进步。
