Obesity:the Scourge of the Western World
Obesity is rapidly becoming a new scourge of the western world,delegates agreed at the 11th European Conference on the issue in Vienna Wednesday to Saturday. According to state-ments before the opening of the conference一of 2,000 specialists from more than 50 countries一1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight,and 250 million are obese.
Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said:“Obesity is a chronic ill-ness.In Germany,20 percent of the people are already affected,but in Japan only one per-cent.”But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.
Professor Friedrich Hopichler of Salzberg said:“We are living in the new age(but)with the metabolism of a stone-age man.”“I have just been to the United States.It is really terni-ble.A pizza shop is springing up on every corner. We have been overrun by fast food and Co-ca-Cola-ization.”
Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer. Hopichler said:“Eighty percent of all diabetics are obese,also fifty percent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty percent with adipose tissue complaints.”“Ten percent more weight means thirteen percent more risk of heart disease.Reducing one's weight by ten percent leads to thirteen percent lower blood pressure.”
Another expert Hermann Toplak said that the state health services should improve their financing of preventive programs.“Though the health insurance pays for surgery( such as re-ducing the size of the stomach)when the body-mass index is more than 40.That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilograms for a height of 1.70 meters.One should start earlier.”
Ludvik said that prevention should begin in school.“Child obesity(fat deposits)correlates with the time which children spend in front of TV sets.”The consequences were only apparent later on. No more than fifteen percent of obese people lived to the average life ex-pectancy for their population group.

参考解析
解析：题干意为“据估计，全世界有……人患有肥胖病”。备选项很特殊，全是数字，因此利用备选项中的数字作为定位线索，在第一段找到相关句：Obesity is rapidly becoming a new scourge of the western world,delegates agreed at the 11th European Conference on the issue in Vienna Wednesday to Saturday. According to statements before the opening of the conference一of 2,000 specialists from more than 50 countries一1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight , and 250 million are obese．相关句（定位线索词集中出现的句子）提到“全世界有12亿人体重超重，而2.5亿人肥胖”。由此判断答案为A。
题干意为“短文中提到在发达国家中……的居民可能受到肥胖的影响最 小”。利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语developed countries and areas , European, German,American, Japanese作为定位线索，同时关注题干中的修饰词least affected（受到影 响最小的），在第二段中找到相关句：Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said: “Obesity is a chronic illness. In Germany（与Germany呼应）,20 percent of the people are already affected , but in Japan（与Japanese呼应）only one percent. ”But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication．相关句提到“德国20%的人已经患有肥胖病，而日本只有1%”。在第三段中作者说他去过美国，那里到处是比萨店，快餐食品，可口可乐，可见美国的胖人也不少。至于全欧洲，因为这次关于肥胖问题的会议是在维也纳召开的，而且短文第一句提到肥胖症正迅速成为西方世界的祸害，由此可推断出欧洲胖人也不少，因此发达国家中受到肥胖症影响的最小的可能就是日本了。所以答案为D。
题干意为“下面哪种疾病最常伴随肥胖病出现？”关注题干中的修饰词most often，利用备选项中的细节信息词/短语high blood pressure, fatty tissue complaints, diabetes, stomach-ache作为定位线索，在第四段中找到相关句：Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer. Hopichier said:“Eighty percent of all diabetics（与diabetes呼应）are obese,also fifty percent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty percent with adipose tissue complaints.”“Ten percent more weight means thirteen percent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one's weight by ten percent leads to thirteen percent lower blood pressure.”相关句提到“80%的糖尿病患者肥胖，而高血压和脂肪组织疾病患者伴有肥胖症的都各为50%”，由此可见糖尿病并发肥胖病是最多的，所以答案为C。
题干意为“体重，心脏病和血压之间有什么关系？”利用题干中的细节信息词/短语correlation, body weight , heart disease, blood pressure作为定位线索，在第四段找到相关句：Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer. Hopichier said:“Eighty percent of all diabetics are obese,also fifty percent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty percent with adipose tissue complaints.”“Ten percent more weight means thirteen percent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one's weight by ten percent leads to thirteen percent lower blood pressure.”相关句提到“体重增加10%意味着患心脏病的危险性增加13%，体重减少10%可导致血压降低13%”，由此可判断答案为C项“体重越重，患心脏病和高血压的风险越大”。

共用题干Ear BreakthroughNew research published in the journal Current Biology has added significantly to understand-ing of how the ear works,giving hope to millions of deaf and hard of hearing people.The latest research,conducted by Dr. T. Albet,a Deafness Research UK research fel-low at the UCL Ear Institute,together with scientists at the University of Cologne,shows that fruit flies have ears which mechanically amplify sound signals in a remarkably similar way to the senso- ry（感觉的）cells found in the inner ear of vertebrates（脊椎动物）including humans. The finding means that the wealth of genetic techniques already available to study the fruit fly can now be used to target how the ear works.Dr. Albert says.“The biophysical parallels between the ways both fruit flies and humans convert sound into nerve signals are truly amazing.We may be allowed to hope that these mecha- nistic（机械学的）similarities extend further down to the genes and molecules that bring about hearing.But even if it finally should turn out that hearing in fruit flies relies on different mole-cules than does hearing in humans,the little fruit fly can help us find answers to some key ques-tions of hearing research and -what is sometimes even more important -will surely help us ask the right questions.”The work is welcomed by Deafness Research UK,the country's only medical research charity for deaf people.Vivienne Michael,chief executive of Deafness Research UK.says,“This is an important advance that paves the way toward a clear understanding of the genetics of deafness.The charity will continue to support culling-edge（尖端的）research through its Fellowship programme at the UCI.Ear institute and at other top research centres in the UK to achieve our goal of secu-ring audial improvements in the prevention,diagnosis and treatment of all forms of hearing impair-ment.”There are nine million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK and in most cases deafness results from loss of sensory cells in the inner ear known as“hair” cells.The cells can be damaged and lost through ageing,noise,genetic defects and certain drugs and,because the cells don't re- generate,the result is progressive— and irreversible—hearing loss .Damage to these cells can al-so lead to tinnitus（耳鸣）,which affects around five million people in the UK.Vivienne Michael from Deafness Research UK highly appreciates_______.A:.the genetics of deafnessB:.the charity's Fellowship programmeC:.improvements in treating hearing impairmentD: the latest research conducted by Dr. Albert
共用题干Ants Have Big Impact on Environment as“Ecosystem Engineers”Research by the University of Exeter has revealed that ants have a big impact on their local environment as a result of their activity as“ecosystem engineers”and predators. The study,published in the Journal of Animal Ecology,found that ants have two distinct effects on their local environment.Firstly,through moving of soil by nest building activity and by collecting food they af-fect the level of nutrients in the soil. This can indirectly impact the local populations of many animal groups,from decomposers to species much higher up the food chain.Secondly,they prey on a wide range of other animals,including larger prey which can be attacked by vast numbers of ant workers.Dirk Sanders,an author of the study from the university's Centre for Ecology and Con-servation,said:“Ants are very effective predators which thrive in huge numbers. They're al-so very territorial and very aggressive,defending their resources and territory against other predators. All of this means they have a strong influence on their surrounding area.”“In this research,we studied for the first time how big this impact is and the subtleties of it. What we found is that despite being predators,their presence can also lead to an increase in density and diversity of other animal groups. They genuinely play a key role in the local environment,having a big influence on the grassland food web,”Sanders said.The study,carried out in Germany,studied the impact of the presence of different combinations and densities of black garden ants and common red ants,both species which can be found across Europe,including in the UK.It found that a low density of ants in an area increased the diversity and density of other animals in the local area,particularly the density of herbivores and decomposers. At higher densities ants had no or the opposite effect,showing that predation is counteracting the positive influence.Dr Frank van Veen,another author on the study,said:“What we find is that the impact of ants on soil nutrient levels has a positive effect on animal groups at low levels,but as the number of ants increases,their predatory impacts have the bigger effect一thereby counteracting the positive influence via ecosystem engineering.”Ants are important components of ecosystems not only because they constitute a great part of the animal biomass but also because they act as ecosystem engineers. Ant biodiversity is incredibly high and these organisms are highly responsive to human impact,which obviously reduces its richness. However,it is not clear how such disturbance damages the maintenance of ant services to the ecosystem. Ants are important in below ground processes through the alteration of the physical and chemical environment and through their effects on plants,microorganisms,and other soil organisms.Why are ants compared to ecosystem engineers?A: Because they build their own nests.B: Because they collect food.C: Because their activity affects the environment.D: Because they are predators.
