Obesity should be defined by a person’s health—not just their weight,says a new Canadian clinical guideline.It also advises doctors to go beyond simply recommending diet and exercise.Instead,they should focus on the root causes of weight gain and take a holistic(整体的) approach to health.
Ximena Ramos-Salas,one of the guideline’s authors,said research shows many doctors discriminate(歧视) against obese patients,and that can lead to worse health outcomes regardless of their weight.“The weight bias(偏见)is not just about believing the wrong thing about obesity,” she told the BBC.“The weight bias actually has an effect on the behaviour of healthcare doctors.”
Although the latest advice still recommends using diagnostic(诊断的)criteria like the body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference,it admits their clinical limitations and says doctors should focus more on how weight affects a person’s health.Small reductions in weight,of about 3%-5%,can lead to health improvements and an obese person’s “best weight” might not be their “ideal weight” according to the BMI,the guideline says.
It emphasizes that obesity is a complex,chronic condition that needs lifelong management.“For a long time we’ve associated obesity as a lifestyle behaviour.It’s been a lot of shame and blame before,” Ms Ramos-Salas says.“People living with obesity need support like people living with any other chronic diseases.” But instead of simply advising patients to “eat less,move more”,the guideline encourages doctors to provide supports along the lines of psychological therapy(治疗),medication and bariatric surgery like gastric bypass surgery(胃分流手术).
The guideline doesn’t completely give up standard weight-loss advice.“All individuals,regardless of body size or composition,would benefit from adopting a healthy,well-balanced eating pattern and engaging in regular physical activity,” it says.

A.Obesity is completely caused by a wrong lifestyle.
B.Obesity patients can be improved by reducing their weight.

Art and science may seem like opposite things.One means the creative flow of ideas,and the other means cold,hard data—some people believe.In fact,the two have much in common.Now,a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science classes.
Mariale Hardiman,an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University,noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully.They might ask more questions.They might volunteer more ideas.What’s more,students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及) art.To prove that,Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment,the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms.They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones.In a traditional science class,for example,students might read aloud from a book.In the art-focused one,they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly assigned(随机分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one.Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit—about three weeks.When they changed to a new topic,they also changed to the other type of class.This way,each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one.Every unit was taught in both ways,to different groups of students.This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class.But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class.These students appeared to use some of the art techniques(技巧) after going back to a traditional class.Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit.“The more we hear something,the more we retain it,” Hardiman said.“It suggests that the art may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”
5.Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study
A.To prove the importance of art at school.
B.To see if art might improve students’ science learning.
C.To find a way to help her students learn better.
D.To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
6.What were the students required to do in the experiment
A.Learn three units in total.
B.Take two types of classes.
C.Learn two topics for three weeks.
D.Choose what they’d like to learn.
7.What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean
A.Finish. B.Express.
C.Improve. D.Memorize.
8.What is the text mainly about
A.Art helps students develop creativity.
B.Art-focused classes interest students a lot.
C.Art can make science easier to remember.
D.Art has something in common with science.

We live in a town with three beaches.There are two parks less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play.However,what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens,split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years,an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend.A couple of years ago,film-maker David Bond realised that his children,then aged five and three,were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response.He realised that something needed to change,and,being a London media type,appointed himself “marketing director for Nature”.He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people.The result was Project Wild Thing,a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network,a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says.“There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven,then being outdoors will be a habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now:“We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us.There is an amazing world out there,and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play.
9.What is the problem with the author’s children
A.They often annoy the neighbours.
B.They are tired of doing their homework.
C.They have no friends to play with.
D.They stay in front of screens for too long.
10.How did David Bond advocate his idea
A.By making a documentary film.
B.By organizing outdoor activities.
C.By advertising in London media.
D.By creating a network of friends.
11.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in paragraph 2
A.Records. B.Predicts.
C.Delays. D.Confirms.
12.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Let Children Have Fun
B.Young Children Need More Free Time
C.Market Nature to Children
D.David Bond:A Role Model for Children
Ⅴ.七选五
You just came back from lunch so you know you can’t be hungry.Yet,you are reaching for a bag of chips or a bar of chocolate as you prepare to work on a project which has been causing you stress and anxiety. 1
Most of us tend to overeat when we’re feeling stressed or under a lot of pressure.When under long periods of stress,our bodies produce cortisol,a hormone (荷尔蒙) that causes hunger. 2 In addition,the hormone causes our bodies to react favorably when we consume (消耗) foods that are high in fat or sugar,or both.These foods,known as comfort foods,do control stress in the short term,which explains why many of us desire for them.
Stress eating may be a conscious (有意识的) or unconscious decision,but it does pose (引起) several problems.
Physical health concerns about stress eating
Consuming an unnecessary number of unhealthy foods that are high in fat and sugar will contribute to weight gain. 3 What’s worse,it can lead to various chronic health illnesses such as high blood pressure.
Emotional concerns about seeking comfort foods
4 However,it does not actually solve your problems.Instead of looking for practical solutions to a stressful situation,your attention is focused on getting quick relief with food.These short-term relief measures may actually be translated into a long-term emotional burden and affect your mental health.
Mental health concerns about anxiety eating
Eating to deal with stress and anxiety can easily become an unhealthy habit and may even lead to eating disorders.If left unchecked,stress eating may progress to binge-eating disorder. 5 However,it is neither a healthy nor a permanent solution to a stressful situation.There are still many other methods of helping you fight stress and anxiety without sacrificing (牺牲) your physical and mental well-being.
A.That’s stress eating.
B.This poses a risk of being overweight.
C.This affects a person’s food preferences.
D.Stress eating can provide relief in times of stress.
E.Stress eating can provide emotional and mental comfort.
F.Seeking comfort in food may give you short-term stress relief.
G.It doesn’t work for the benefit of your body shapes in the long term,though.
Ⅵ.语法填空
In Canada we have Chinese restaurants,most of 1. are very good.And when in China I had many chances 2. (eat) in a lot of different restaurants.It has been long since I left China,but what I still miss 3. (be) the Chinese cuisine.
My favourite street food there is jianbing.It is made on a round pan where some liquid batter(面糊) is poured,which is thinly spread by a wooden tool like a knife.The batter 4.

6.sorts 考查名词的数。句意:将一个鸡蛋平摊在它的背面,放上洋葱片和不同种类的辛辣配料,然后在上面放一片薄脆。different是形容词,表示“不同的”,后接可数名词的复数形式。故填sorts。
7.the 考查冠词。句意:用熟了的面糊皮包裹住薄脆,整个东西对折。结合语意,此处特指做好了的整个煎饼,应用定冠词the表示特指。

9.equipment 考查词性转换。句意:尽管只有简单的烹饪设备,但它总是美味可口,而且我对来自中国的食物感到舒适自在。空处作介词despite的宾语,应用名词形式,equipment是不可数名词,没有复数形式,故填equipment。

With the development of computer technology,the Internet has become more and more popular.I’m going to give you a summary of today’s discussion about whether we should use the Internet in our spare time.
The following aspects could best illustrate the advantages of Internet.Resources are rich on the Internet where we can gain plenty of knowledge.It can also save time when we search for knowledge on the Internet.In addition,Internet offers us a convenient way to communicate with each other.
The Internet also has its disadvantages,just as a coin has two sides.Firstly,some columns on the Internet may contain some unhealthy contents that have a negative influence on us.Secondly,some students may indulge in online games while neglecting their study.What’s more,lingering too long on the Internet will do harm to our health.
In my opinion,we need to make good use of the Internet and should not depend on it too much.分层跟踪检测(一)Welcome to the unit & Reading

My name is Michelle Rogers.For most of my life I had been fighting with my body weight.I was either gaining weight or trying to lose it.I wasn’t happy with myself,and I certainly wasn’t able to fully enjoy life.Not only did I feel bad physically,but I felt terrible emotionally.I also knew I wasn’t able to be the best I could be,and with failure after failure in losing weight,I just felt so hopeless to overcome it.
One day in 2008,I was looking through ads online and saw a treadmill (跑步机) for $100.This time I decided to start small and keep it doable.The first week I started walking 15 minutes on the treadmill at a fixed time every day.The next week I did 16 minutes.Each week I added a minute.Gradually,I increased speed as well as time.Once I got to 30 minutes,the weight started dropping off.
I didn’t lose weight at first,but I didn’t give up like I did in the past.I realized I started feeling better.My legs were getting stronger.I didn’t feel as painful as I used to when I got up from my desk.All the efforts I’d been putting into fitness made me want to start eating healthier,too.I began with small changes as well.After these years I started listening to my body.It was refusing food and habits that were bad for me.

Overweight since her teens,Carol Jackson lost 35 pounds in her late teens but put it all back on and then some when she had her son.She said it was because of a sweet tooth and a large portion size.“I could eat a pint of ice cream and not even think about it,” the married mother of four added.
She knew she had to do something,but the death of her best friend from complications(并发症) related to bariatric surgery(减肥手术) caused her to stay away from the help she needed.“It took me five years to realize I can’t live life like this,” Jackson said,finally deciding to have bariatric bypass surgery in 2012.“My kids love the new me,” Jackson said.“And,my youngest child,who is 8 and a little overweight,has been encouraged by me.We walk the track when it is warm as a family outing.” She adds,“I knew I had to do something about my health because I had to be around for them and watch them grow and experience life.”
After a lifetime of junk food,sweets and out-of-control portions,Jackson had to learn a new way of eating.Now,she starts the day with a breakfast of hard-boiled eggs for the protein.Lunch is usually a salad and dinner is a protein shake(蛋白质奶昔).She walks two to three miles at least a few times a week,does Zumba twice a week and rides her bike for a half-hour three times a week.
“I wish I’d been more concerned about my weight when I was younger.I wish it hadn’t gotten to this point.But,I’d do the surgery again in a heartbeat.My life is so much better now,” Jackson said.
5.In which column will you read the text

We all love eating out.But,is it bothering you because you are on a diet and have to dine with a friend Sure,you will be concerned about the amount of calories,fat or salt in a restaurant’s menu items. 1
Choose the right place.

Don’t eat it all.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
In recent years,researchers of Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab are studying how environmental factors influence many Americans to unnoticeably eat too much.Many people wrongly believe that factors like hunger or boredom and depression are the main causes for overeating,but their research has shown otherwise.It is thought that we overeat if the food is good or if we’re really hungry.In reality,those are two of the last things that determine how much we eat.
In one experiment,the researcher placed jars of candies in workers’ offices for a month.Then,he moved the candies 1.8m away.The office workers ate five more candies each day when the jar was closer to them,equaling an additional 125 calories a day.It does not sound too bad,but add that up over a year and you will have gained 5.4kg.“If something is visible,every time we see it,we have to make a decision:to eat it or not ” the researcher explained.
In the other experiment,moviegoers were given five-day-old popcorn,some in medium-size buckets,some in large buckets.The researcher found that moviegoers who had the larger buckets ate 53 percent more,despite its unpleasant taste.He believed that the distraction of the movie and hearing others eat the popcorn persuaded people to keep eating.
The findings in other researches have shown that we tend to eat more when we use larger dishes,eat in front of the television,or dine with someone who eats a lot.Researchers of the lab advise a gradual approach to changing eating habits.People can cut a couple of hundred calories a day by doing things such as avoiding open food dishes at the office,using smaller serving bowls,sitting next to the slowest eater and being the last one to start eating.
1.What is the truth shown by the study
A.We eat more when the food is good.
B.People tend to eat a lot when they dine out.
C.Feeling depressed leads us to overeat.
D.Hunger is not the key factor in overeating.
2.What can we learn from the two experiments
A.People turn to more candies for more energy.
B.Office workers eat more candies due to visibility.
C.Moviegoers eat more popcorn because it is tasty.
D.People keep eating popcorn to enjoy the movie.
3.What is suggested in changing eating habits
A.Dining with slim persons.
B.Eating while watching films.
C.Using smaller dishes.
D.Starting eating earlier.
4.What is the purpose of the text
A.To display a research process.
B.To instruct how to do research experiments.
C.To warn against overeating.
D.To advise being a mindful eater.

1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many people wrongly believe that factors like hunger or boredom and depression are the main causes...those are two of the last things that determine how much we eat.”可知,许多人错误地认为,饥饿、无聊和抑郁是暴饮暴食的主要原因,但他们的研究表明,情况并非如此。人们认为,如果食物很好,或者真的很饿,就会吃得过多。事实上,这是决定人们吃多少的最后两件事。由此可知,这个研究表明饥饿并不是暴饮暴食的关键因素。故选D项。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The office workers ate five more candies each day when the jar was closer to them,equaling an additional 125 calories a day...‘If something is visible,every time we see it,we have to make a decision:to eat it or not ’ the researcher explained.”可知,当罐子离办公室职员较近时,他们每天会多吃5块糖果,相当于每天多摄入125卡路里。研究人员解释说:“如果某些东西是可见的,我们每次看到它时都必须做出决定:吃还是不吃 ”由此可推断,办公室职员会因为看得见而吃更多的糖果。故选B项。
3.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Researchers of the lab advise a gradual approach to changing eating habits...sitting next to the slowest eater and being the last one to start eating.”可知,实验室的研究人员建议循序渐进地改变饮食习惯。人们每天可以通过一些事情来减少几百卡路里的热量,比如在办公室里避免打开食物,使用较小的餐具,坐在吃得最慢的人旁边,以及最后一个开始吃饭。由此可推断,在改变饮食习惯方面,建议使用更小的餐具。故选C项。
4.D 写作意图题。根据第一段第一句“In recent years,researchers of Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab are studying how environmental factors influence many Americans to unnoticeably eat too much.”可知,近年来,康奈尔大学的食品和品牌实验室的研究人员正在研究环境因素如何影响许多美国人不加注意地吃得过多;根据最后一段内容可知,本文主要讲述了研究发现环境因素影响人们吃得过多,并给出了逐渐改变饮食习惯、减少食物摄入的建议。由此可推断,本文的目的是建议人们成为一个警觉的饮食者。故选D项。

7.C excited“兴奋的”;honoured“荣幸的”;determined“有决心的,坚定的”;amazed“大为惊奇的”。根据上文这位爸爸在远足时的经历可知,他决定减肥塑型。be determined to do sth意为“下定决心做某事”。故选C项。

Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现:人们吃什么和如何吃与体重有很大关系。晚间较少的摄入能保证晨间的新陈代谢最为旺盛,从而控制体重。
1.fully 考查副词。句意:如果你的手机需要升级软件,你可能会在充满电的时候运行安装程序。分析句子可知,此处应用副词修饰动词charge。故填fully。
2.a 考查冠词。句意:一项新的研究发现,人类的能量系统以类似的方式运行。分析句子可知,此处表示“一种类似的方式”,修饰可数名词单数pattern,且为泛指,similar是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以其前应用不定冠词a。故填a。
3.when 考查连词。句意:当身体在早上充满活力的时候,我们的新陈代谢很可能最旺盛。when意为“当……的时候”,符合语境。故填when。
4.matches 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:这项研究基于对5万名成年人长达7年的饮食分析,发现以身体质量指数(BMI)衡量的体重与我们吃饭的时间和吃饭的频率相匹配。分析句子结构可知,文章整体使用一般现在时,且主语the body weight是单数概念,所以谓语动词应用单数。故填matches。
5.who/that 考查定语从句。句意:具体来说,早餐吃得多,夜间禁食18个小时的人体重最低。分析句子结构可知,此处为限制性定语从句,先行词people在从句中作主语,表示人,所以用关系代词who/that引导。故填who/that。
6.lowest 考查形容词最高级。句意:具体来说,早餐吃得多,夜间禁食18个小时的人体重最低。根据句意可知,此处描述有最轻体重的人,the与最高级搭配。故填lowest。
7.compared 考查非谓语动词。句意:那些在当天晚些时候、下午6点之后吃东西的人,与早餐或午餐吃得最饱的人相比体重更高。动词compare与逻辑主语those之间构成被动关系,所以用过去分词作状语。故填compared。
8.to help 考查非谓语动词。句意:洛马琳达大学的研究人员发现,18到19个小时的夜间禁食会重启我们的新陈代谢,帮助我们的身体燃烧卡路里。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to help。
9.on/upon 考查介词。句意:所以,根据你的目标和健康状况,你可以考虑重新安排你的饮食,这样你就可以在早上胰岛素功能最有效的时候消耗更多的卡路里。固定搭配depend on/upon意为“取决于”。故填on/upon。
10.it 考查代词。句意:正如Kahleova所说,“早餐吃得像国王,午餐吃得像王子,晚餐吃得像乞丐”的古老建议背后有新的科学依据。分析句子可知,此处应用代词it指代“the ancient advice”作宾语。故填it。
