3.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(工業(yè)化),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 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period.And that is happening all across the world,in Mexico,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(熱帶的)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 trilemma":a problem offering a difficult choice.He says one possible settlement is leaving the Western diet behind.

32.According to the passage,more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future fromC.
A.transportation   B.developing countries    C.a(chǎn)griculture    D.developed countries
33.David Tilman believes thatA.
A.diet,the environment and human health are closely connected
B.the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes
C.people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease
D.traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet
34.We can infer from the passage thatD.
A.Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases
B.overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases
C.the examined information comes from developing countries
D.industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet
35.The main purpose of the passage is toB.
A.call on us to protect the environment
B.warn us of the danger of the Western diet
C.remind us of the importance of health
D.a(chǎn)dvise us to have a balanced diet.

Dear Tom,
How is everything going?I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of answering your letter in time.You know,I've been preparing for the final exams these days,so I forgot to write back.In your letter,you asked me for my plans on summer vacation.Now,I am writing to tell you some specific details.
Overall,three things will make my summer vacation meaningful.To start with,doing a part-time job is my dream and I intend to work as a salesman because not only can I earn money by myself,but also it will broaden my horizons.In addition,it is a fabulous choice to visit some famous scenic spots such as Mount Tai during the vacation,in order to enjoy appealing scenery and make more friends.What is more,doing voluntary work,I think,will make a great contribution to the society,which is able to enrich my life.
I sincerely apologize again for my mistake.By the way,what's your plan to spend your summer vacation?I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua.

18.One hundred years ago,"Colored"was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent.Twenty years later,it was purposefully dropped to make way for"Negro."By the late 1960s,that term was overtaken by"Black."And then,at a press conference in Chicago in 1988,Jesse Jackson declared that"African American"was the term to embrace.This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups,such as"Italian Americans"and"Irish Americans,"that had already been freed of widespread discrimination.
A century's worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise.A 2001study cataloged all the ways in which the term"Black"carried connotations (涵義) that were more negative than those of"African American."
But if it was known that"Black"people were viewed differently from"African Americans,"researchers,until now,hadn't identified what that gap in perception was derived from.A recent study,conducted by Emory University's Erika Hall,found that"Black"people are viewed more negatively than"African Americans"because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status.As a result,"Black"people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities.
The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial biases permeating the professional world.Even seemingly harmless details on a resume,it appears,can tap into recruiters'biases.A job application might mention affiliations with groups such as the"Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers"or the"National Black Employees Association,"the names of which apparently have consequences,and are also beyond their members'control.
In one of the study's experiments,subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams.To one group,he was identified as"African-American,"and another was told he was"Black."With little else to go on,they were asked to estimate Mr.William's salary,professional standing,and educational background.
The"African-American"group estimated that he earned about﹩37000 a year and had at wo-year college degree.The"Black"group,ontheotherhand,puthissalaryatabout﹩29 000,and guessed that he had only"some"college experience.Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr.Williams worked at a managerial level,while only 38.5 percent of the second group thought so.
Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use"African American,"though one can't help but get the sense that it's a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress.Perhaps a new phrase is needed,one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois's original,idealistic hope:"It's not the name-it's the Thing that counts."

94.Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term"African American"for people of African descent?A
A.It is free from racial biases.
B.It represents social progress.
C.It is in the interest of common Americans.
D.It follows the standard naming practice.
95.What does the author say about the naming of an ethnic group?D
A.It advances with the times.
B.It is based on racial roots.
C.It merits intensive study.
D.It is politically sensitive.
96.What do Erika Hall's findings indicate?A
A.Racial biases are widespread in the professional world.
B.Many applicants don't attend to details on their resumes.
C.Job seekers should all be careful about their affiliations.
D.Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases.
97.What does Erika Hall find in her experiment about a man with the last name Williams?C
A.African Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups.
B.Black people's socioeconomic status in America remains low.
C.People's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled.
D.One's professional standing and income are related to their educational background.
98.What is Dr.Du Bois's ideal?B
A.All Americans enjoy equal rights.
B.A person is judged by their worth.
C.A new term is created to address African Americans.
D.All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress.
