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, 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 still, 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 percent 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’s 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. there are too many overweight people in the world
C. the effectiveness of a campaign D. the fashion of body shaping
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

【四川省凉山州高中毕业班第二次诊断性】D
One hot summer I was traveling down the freeway on a day trip to Los Angeles. During my journey down the highway, another motorist suddenly started cutting into my lane. Being in the far right lane, my car was forced onto the shoulder of the road. Being an experienced driver, I steered my car back onto the highway, the motorist drove away without saying anything.
While I wasn’t very happy with the person for cutting in front of me, I decided to consider it an honest mistake—a lack of attention to the lane change or a driver lost in thought. It certainly could not have been done on purpose. The car sped away after cutting in front of me and was soon out of sight.
After a while, I caught up with the same motorist on the side of the road. He was an elderly gentleman who was walking along the side of the freeway on this hot day. With his car stopped on the side of the road and the nearest services at least twenty miles away, I decided to stop and see what the problem was.
The man’s car had a flat tire, and while he had a spare tire, he didn’t have a jack. I decided to help him and allowed him to sit in my air–conditioned car while I changed his tire. Fifteen minutes later, I was hot, sweaty and dirty, but I did feel good after doing something for someone.
1.Which of the following word can best describe the author?
A. Bad-tempered. B. Humorous. C. Hard-working. D. Kind-hearted.
2.We can infer from the second paragraph that the _______.
A. motorist didn’t pay any attention to the lane change
B. motorist was lost in thought while he was driving
C. motorist cut in front of the author on purpose
D. author forgave the motorist
3.Why did the motorist stop his car on the side of the road? Because_______.
A. he got lost B. his car had a flat tire
C. he wanted to have a rest D. he wanted to travel with the author
4.What can we learn from the text?
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. An act of kindness can make you feel good.
C. No pain, no gain. D. It is no use crying over spilt milk.

高三英语填空题中等难度题查看答案及解析
Why would an animal kill itself? It seems a strange question, and yet it is one that has made some scientists curious for a long time. For there is a kind of animal called lemming(旅鼠), that periodically killed themselves together, and no one knows just why!
The small creatures which live in the Scandinavian mountains, feed on a diet of roots and special insects and live in nests they dig underground. When their food supply is large, the lemmings live a normal and undisturbed life.
However, when the lemmings’ food supply becomes too low to support the population, a singular migration(迁徙)begins. The lemmings leave their nests in groups. Great numbers of them begin to travel across the Scandinavian plains, a journey that may last weeks. The lemmings eat everything in their path, continuing their long march until they reach the sea.
The reason for what follows remains unbelievable to naturalists. Upon reaching the coast, the lemmings do not stop but swim by the thousands into the sea. Most stay afloat only a short time before they tire, sink and drown.
A common theory for this mass self-killing is that the lemmings do not realize that the ocean is such a huge body of water in their cross-country journey, the animals must cross many smaller bodies of water, such as rivers and small lakes. They may think that the sea is just another such swimmable path to go through. But no final answer has been found to the strange happening.
1.The passage is mainly about______.
A. how lemmings find food
B. why animals kill themselves
C. the lemmings’ self-killing
D. the food supply in the Scandinavian mountains
2.A reason for the lemmings’ self-killing might be that they______.
A. go mad from a lack of food
B. hope to find fish for food
C. decide to reduce the population
D. think they can cross the sea
3.Why are scientists curious about the lemmings’ behavior?
A. Because they are the only animals that live in Scandinavia.
B. Because it is very unusual for animals to kill themselves.
C. Because of the amount of food they can eat on their march to the sea.
D. Because they can gather together in such huge numbers.
4.The underlined word “singular” means______.
A. unusual B. single C. wonderful D. common
