2020全國(guó)英語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試三級(jí)閱讀試題（7）

Children growing up in the UK today face a plethora of societal pressures and challenges. Our young people are some of the most overweight in Europe, are recording increasing levels of mental health issues, and are more likely to live a shorter life than their parents. They're also less likely to lead a financially stable life.考生如果怕自己錯(cuò)過(guò)考試報(bào)名時(shí)間和考試時(shí)間的話(huà)，可以 免費(fèi)預(yù)約短信提醒，屆時(shí)會(huì)以短信的方式提醒大家報(bào)名和考試時(shí)間。

Last Wednesday the leaders of the Labour, Scottish National, Lib Dem and Green parties sent a letter to the prime minister, calling for "a comprehensive strategy to tackle childhood obesityn. It included 13 recommendations, but there were two glaring omissions from the list: the role of physical activity, and improving mental health and wellbeing——a decision I find deeply disheartening(令人沮喪的)in a u comprehensivestrategy.

I recognise the positive impact that many of the recommendations could have, such as banning free offers for junk food and restrictions on advertising, and using tax incentives(稅收激勵(lì)政策)to make healthy food cheaper. But you cannot have a comprehensive strategy that looks only at diet, and ignores wider factors such as physical activity and mental health.

This August will mark the two-year anniversary of the government's childhood obesity plan, which was an opportunity to put children's health at the heart of policymaking and practice. But by focusing on calories in and calories out are we missing the bigger picture? Children are seldom the main decision-maker on the factors in their life that promote weight gain ; they rarely choose what they eat ( at home or at school) ; their activity levels are often subject to the depth of a parent's purse ; and they largely exist in educational settings that are forced to place more emphasis on standardised testing than on health and wellbeing.

At ukactive, we champion the physical, mental and social benefits that come from an active, healthy life. I have seen first hand the vital role that the physical activity sector has in helping to tackle childhood obesity.

But we also recognise that our sector cannot achieve its ambitions for a healthier Britain alone. We must seek consensus across all political parties that obesity is a complex disease for which no single cause or cure exists. It's never been clearer that we need to develop a cross-party strategy that drives an integrated approach to this fundamental issue. The diet and physical activity agendas are of equal importance, and both sectors have to work together. To shun a collaborative, holistic approach would be to jeopardise the future health and prosperity of the UK.

參考答案：

當(dāng)今,在英國(guó)長(zhǎng)大的孩子要面臨很多的社會(huì)壓力和挑戰(zhàn)。較之于其他歐洲國(guó)家的年輕人, 英國(guó)的年輕人要更胖。 他們的精神健康問(wèn)題也越來(lái)越嚴(yán)重, 而且有可能沒(méi)他們的父母壽命長(zhǎng)。 而且他們的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況也不太可能穩(wěn)定。

上周三,工黨、蘇格蘭民族黨、自由民主黨和綠黨的領(lǐng)袖給首相寫(xiě)了一封信,呼吁制定“ 解決兒童肥胖問(wèn)題的全面戰(zhàn)略”。 戰(zhàn)略包括 13 項(xiàng)建議, 但其中有兩處遺漏非常明顯:體育活動(dòng)的作用,以及改善心理健康和提高幸福感———這讓我對(duì)這個(gè)戰(zhàn)略的“ 全面” 性深感憂(yōu)慮。

我意識(shí)到許多建議能夠產(chǎn)生積極影響,比如禁止免費(fèi)發(fā)放垃圾食品,限制廣告和利用稅收激勵(lì)政策讓健康食品更平價(jià)。 但一個(gè)全面的策略不能只關(guān)注飲食,卻忽視更廣泛的因素,比如體育鍛煉和心理健康。

今年 8 月是政府實(shí)施兒童肥胖計(jì)劃的兩周年紀(jì)念日,借此機(jī)會(huì)可使兒童健康政策制定和實(shí)踐成為整個(gè)計(jì)劃的重中之重。 但是只關(guān)注卡路里的攝入和消耗,我們是否忽略了一個(gè)更大的問(wèn)題? 在生活中,兒童很少會(huì)自己決定是否會(huì)做那些令體重增加的事情;他們很少會(huì)自己選擇在家或?qū)W校吃的食物;他們的活動(dòng)強(qiáng)度也往往取決于父母的錢(qián)包;而且他們中的大部分所處的教育環(huán)境會(huì)更加側(cè)重于標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化測(cè)試,而不是他們的身體健康狀況和幸福感。

在 ukactive,我們倡導(dǎo)通過(guò)積極、健康的生活

方式來(lái)改善青年人的身心健康,促進(jìn)社會(huì)和諧。我曾親眼目睹體育活動(dòng)部門(mén)在兒童肥胖問(wèn)題上起到的重要作用。

但我們也認(rèn)識(shí)到,僅憑我們行業(yè)的一己之力無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)建設(shè)一個(gè)更健康英國(guó)的目標(biāo)。 所有政黨必須達(dá)成共識(shí), 認(rèn)識(shí)到肥胖是一種復(fù)雜的疾病,產(chǎn)生的原因也非單一化,而且也沒(méi)有一個(gè)單一的靈丹妙藥能解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。 我們需要制定一個(gè)跨黨派的戰(zhàn)略,從而形成一個(gè)全面的策略, 解決這個(gè)重要問(wèn)題,這一點(diǎn)再清楚不過(guò)了。 飲食和體育活動(dòng)同樣重要,這兩個(gè)部門(mén)必須共同努力。 不合作、不采取全面的方式,將會(huì)危及英國(guó)未來(lái)的健康和繁榮。

1. 【答案】C

【詳解】 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。 第一段中提到英國(guó)的孩子要面臨更多的壓力和挑戰(zhàn),因?yàn)樗麄儽葎e的國(guó)家的人更胖,精神健康問(wèn)題也越來(lái)越嚴(yán)重,并且壽命也沒(méi)有他們的父母長(zhǎng),因此正確答案為 C)。 選項(xiàng) A) “ 各種精神疾病”,選項(xiàng) B)“ 體重降低、能量增加”,選項(xiàng) D) “ 更多的開(kāi)支” 均與原文不符。
