16.The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment.These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tillman,a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota,America,examined information from 100countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health.He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s.He found that as nations industrialized,population increased and earnings rose,more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.
The Western diet is high in sugar,fat,oil and meat.By eating these foods,people began to get fatter and sicker.David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes(糖尿病) and heart disease.
Unfortunately when people become industrialized,if they adopt this Western diet,they are going to have these health problems,especially in developing countries in Asia.China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10percent of the population as they began to industrialized over a 20-year period.And that is happening all across the world,in Nigeria and so on.
And,a diet bad for human beings,is also bad for the environment.As the world's population grows,more forests and tropical areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle.We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.
Mr.Tillman calls the link between diet,the environment and human health,"a dilemma",a problem offering a difficult choice.He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.

分析 本文是一篇健康環(huán)保類閱讀,隨著全球化進程進一步加快,西方的飲食習慣也層層逼近世界的每一個角落,它是否對我們的飲食健康或者環(huán)境造成影響呢?這篇文章就此話題做了詳細的介紹
解答 24.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據He found that as nations industrialized,population increased and earnings rose,more people began to adopt(采納) what has been called the Western diet.可知,他發(fā)現隨著國家工業(yè)化的進程,人口的增加以及收入的提高,越來越多的人開始采納所謂的西方飲食.故選A.
25.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.可知,我們將來更多的溫室氣體將會來自農業(yè)而不是現在的交通.故選C.
26.D.推理判斷題.根據Unfortunately when people become industrialized,if they adopt this Western diet,they are going to have these health problems,especially in developing countries in Asia可知,不幸的是,當人們變得工業(yè)化,如果他們采納了西方飲食,他們將會產生健康問題,尤其是在亞洲的發(fā)展中國家.可以判斷出隨著工業(yè)化腳步的加快,西方飲食在不斷侵入.故選D.
27.B.主旨大意題.本文主要講述了隨著全球化進程進一步加快,西方的飲食習慣也層層逼近世界的每一個角落,它會對我們的飲食健康或者環(huán)境造成一定的影響.再結合Mr.Tillman calls the link between diet,the environment and human health,"a dilemma",a problem offering a difficult choice.He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.可以看出,本文是在警告我們西方食物存在諸多問題,大家要有節(jié)制有選擇的食用,結合選項.故選B.
