15、-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. Its the good life thafs more likely to k
16、ill us these days.Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. Whats going on?We really dont have many excuses fbr our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the messa
17、ge 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
18、.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 worlds most body-conscious country.We kno
19、w what we should be doing to lose weightbut 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: its just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on
20、 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 theyre normal in shape, or rather slim.Its a similar story around the world, although people are rela

Which would be the best title fbr
24、the passage?A. Overweight or Underweight?B. Actions or Excuses?C. WHO in a Dilemma.D. No Longer Dying of Hunger.CFor most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk
25、is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevators role in American history ha
26、s been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a secret war“ fbr over a century, with cars making it possible fbr people to spread horizontally （水平地），and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical （垂
27、直的）columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience-one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that were hang
28、ing from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally
29、 comfortable experience. After 150 years, we are still not used to it,“ Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure. That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in
30、as we go about our lives.Today, as the worlds urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, Americas total number of elevators1060,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazines 2018 Vertical Transportation Industry”-are a force thats becoming more im
31、portant than ever. And fbr the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.28. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.B. The desire fbr a remarkable machine.C.
32、 The particular interests of experts.D. The general view of elevators.29. The authors purpose in mentioning cars is.A. to contrast their functions with elevators9B. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsC. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsD. to explain peoples preference for elevators30
33、. According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?A. Vertical direction.B. Little physical space.C. Lack of excitement.D. Unpleasant awareness.31. The author urges readers to consider.A. the relationship between cars and elevatorsB. the role of eleva
34、tors in city developmentC. the serious future situation of elevatorsD. the exact number of elevator loversDAcademic dishonesty is nothing new. As long as there have been homework assignments and tests, there have been cheaters. The way that cheating looks has changed over time, though, particularly
35、now that technology has made it easier than ever. A study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics interviewed 23,000 high school students and asked them a variety of questions about academic ethics. Of the teens surveyed, 51 percent said that they had knowingly cheated at some point on an exam but that
36、 they did not feel uneasy about the behaviour. A Common Sense Media survey found that 35 percent of students had cheated via smartphone, though the parents surveyed in that particular study did not believe their kids had ever cheated. In many cases, students did not realize that strategies like look
37、ing up answers on a smartphone were actually cheating at all.In todays classrooms, students who cheat are rarely caught. There are no formulas written on the insides ofhands or students looking across the aisle, or whispering answers to their classmates. Todays students use smartphones, tablets or e
38、ven in-class computers to aid their cheating attempts and leave no trace of their crimes. Since cheating through technology is not listed specifically as being against the rules in many school policies, students do not view the actions unethical （不合道德的）.The technology is being adopted so quickly tha
39、t school districts cannot adequately keep up with cheating policies, or even awareness campaigns that alert students to the problem with using technology to find answers in a certain way. From a young age, students learn that answers exist conveniently at their fingertips through search engines and
40、expert websites.Schools must develop anti-cheating policies that include technology and these policies must be updated consistently. Teachers must stay on guard when it comes to what their students are doing in classrooms and how technology could be playing a negative role in the learning process. P
41、arents must also talk to their kids about the appropriate ways to find academic answers and alert them to unethical behaviours that may seem innocent in their own eyes.32. What do we learn from the study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics?A. Over half of the students interviewed were unaware they
42、were cheating.B. Cheating was becoming a way of life fbr a majority of high school teens.C. Cheating was getting more and more difficult fbr high school students.D. More than half of the interviewees felt no sense of guilt over cheating.33. What did the Common Sense Media survey reveal?A. Most paren
43、ts tended to overprotect their children.B. Parents and kids had conflicting ideas over cheating.C. Students were in urgent need of ethical education.D. Many students committed cheating without parents9 awareness.34. What does the author think schools should do to tackle cheating?A. Alert parents to
44、their childrens behaviour.B.Reform their exam methods constantly.C. Take advantage of the latest technologies.D.Bring policies against cheating up to date.35. What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?A. Prevent students from using electronic devices.B. Develop more effective anti-ch
