题文
Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame(责备) the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation（一代人）） of grown-ups who don’t often cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will probably choose sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives. There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

解析
文章大意：许多事实都表明孩子超重而且这种情况越来越严重。本文作者就此事实问题分析了原因。
小题1:B 细节理解题。根据最后一段When they get home, they sit in front of the television --- --- it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.可知，经常看电视的人可能吃的不健康的食品更多。所以答案选B。
小题2:D细节理解题。 根据第二段最后一句If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.如果这种餐馆少一些，那孩子们买方便食品的机会就更少。所以作者认为孩子超重的原因是快餐店太多了。所以答案选D。
小题3:B 猜测词义题。根据steering所在的句子therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.作者想说，我们应该鼓励年轻人更积极起来，也要“steer”他们远离快餐店和一些不好的饮食习惯。所以可以猜测“steer”是指guide“指导，引导”。答案选B。
小题4:C判断正误题。 根据最后一段最后一个句子therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active,说明A项正确。根据句子 --- away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.说明B项和D项正确。C项说父母不应该给孩子们做饭，此项不正确。所以答案选C。
小题5:B 写作意图题。作者一开始就提出Many facts suggest that children are overweight---并分析了孩子们变胖的三个主要原因，这些原因是通过列举身边的事实来分析的。所以这篇文章的主要目的是提供事实，答案选B。

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
