Question

Michelle Obama has launched her campaign against childhood obesity in the US，saying that it is a problem that concerns her both as the first lady and as a mother.

Mrs.Obama said that the campaign was designed to encourage people to live healthier lives，but admitted that she herself was not immune to the temptations of junk food.

“I love burgers and fries.And I love ice cream and cake.And so do most kids，” she said.But，she added，“We’re not talking about a lifestyle that excludes all that.”

“The question is how we help people balance their diet so that they’re not facing life?threatening，preventable illnesses，but they’re enjoying their food，they’re eating their vegetables，they’re doing their running，walking and playing，and they still have time to get a good，fun meal every once in a while.”

One in three American children are overweight or obese，putting them at the higher risk of developing diabetes(糖尿病)，high blood pressure，high cholesterol(膽固醇) and other illnesses.

Billions of dollars are spent every year treating obesity?related conditions.

“None of us wants this future for our kids，” Mrs.Obama said at the White House.

“We have to act，so let’s move.”

Her campaign has four parts：helping parents make better food choices，serving healthier food in school vending machines(自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)) and lunch menus，making healthy food more available and affordable，and encouraging children to exercise more.

The campaign，which Mrs.Obama starts，is aimed at solving the childhood obesity problem in a generation，so that children born today can reach adulthood at a healthy weight.

“This isn’t like a disease where we’re still waiting for the cure to be discovered.We know the cure for this，” she said at the opening ceremony.

President Barack Obama praised his wife for solving what he called one of “the most urgent health issues facing the country”．

“This has enormous promise in improving the health of our children，in giving support to parents to make the kinds of healthy choices that are often very difficult，” he said.

【解析】

1.標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)第一段的第一句可知：美國(guó)第一夫人米歇爾·奧巴馬在全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)發(fā)起了一項(xiàng)抵制兒童肥胖的運(yùn)動(dòng)。這就是全文的主題句，表明了本文的主要內(nèi)容。因此最佳答案為A。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Mrs.Obama said...”可知，她發(fā)起這場(chǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)旨在鼓勵(lì)人們選擇更為健康的生活方式。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的畫線部分可知，第一夫人米歇爾承認(rèn)，自己有時(shí)也抵擋不住垃圾食品的誘惑�？梢姡�她有時(shí)也喜歡吃垃圾食品。

4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段可知，美國(guó)每年用于治療與肥胖相關(guān)疾病的費(fèi)用高達(dá)數(shù)十億美元。可見，很多美國(guó)人患有與肥胖相關(guān)的疾病。

5.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)貝拉克·奧巴馬對(duì)妻子為兒童肥胖問(wèn)題作出的努力大加贊揚(yáng)，他稱米歇爾應(yīng)對(duì)的是“美國(guó)目前面臨的最為緊迫的健康問(wèn)題之一”。因此B項(xiàng)的陳述與文章的意思相符。
