本文导航第1页试题第2页答案解析短文赏析
本文驳斥了关于肥胖无害的说法。一个叫NAAFA的组织声称肥胖对人体无害，即使有害，也没有办法，因为基因决定一切。对此，作者提出了自己的看法，他认为，实验证明肥胖的人要比正常人更加容易患上主要疾病，健康更容易受到损伤。而基因并不会对减肥造成多大的干扰。同时，他还抨击了关于食品摄入量不会影响体重的说法。最后，作者提出了减肥的可行性和fatlash运动的危害。
答案及解析
1.B【解析】由第一段可知，两人是因为肥胖而被送进医院的，故B项正确。A、C项文章中未提到。两个病人不能证明fatlash运动高涨，故D项是错误的。
2.C【解析】由第一段可知N从FA认为肥胖无害，故A项是错误的。B项文章中未提到。第一段倒数第二句话说到基因决定人的胖瘦，故C项是正确的。NAAFA只是认肥胖对人体无害，并没有说有好处，故D项是错误的。
3.A【解析】由第四段最后两句话可知，基因并不能决定一切，因此减肥不会因为肥胖基因的干扰而没有任何作用，故A项正确。8项和作者的观点是相反的。D项文中未提到。
4.D【解析】fib意为“撒小谎”。
5.B【解析】由第五段可知虽然美国人声称自己摄入的卡路里量下降，但这并不是真的，故A项是错误的。美国人总是在食物摄入量上撒谎，所以并不能推出他们知道自己吃了多少，故C项不正确。根据最后一段最后一句话可以知道D项不正确。
