2014年全国硕士研究生入学统 一 考试英语 （二） 试题
Section I  Use of English
Directions:
Read the fllowin g  text. Choose the best word(s) fr each numbered blank and mark
A, B, C or D on the ANSWER SHEET. (lOpoints)
Thinner isn't alwa y s better. A number of studies have  1  that normal-
wei g ht people are in fct at hi g her risk of some diseases compared to those who
are overwei g ht. And there are health conditions fr which bein g  overwei g ht is
actuall y  2  . For example, heavier women are less likel y  to develop calcium
defcienc y  than thin women.  3  , amon g  the elderl y , bein g  somewhat overwei g ht
is ofen an  4  of  g ood health.
Of even greater  5  is the fct that obesity turs out to be very difcult to
defne. It is ofen defned  6  body mass index, or BMI. BMI  7  bod y  mass
divided b y  the square of hei g ht. An adult with a BMI of 18 to 25 is ofen considered
to be normal wei g ht. Between 25 and 30 is overwei g ht. And over 30 is considered
obese. Obesity,  8  , can be divided into moderatel y  obese, severel y  obese, and
very severel y  obese.
While  such  numencal  standards  seem  9  ,  the y  are not.  Obesity  is
probabl y  less a matter of wei g ht than bod y  ft. Some people with a hi g h BMI are in
fct extremel y  ft,  10  others with a low BMI ma y  be in poor  11  . For  example,
man y  colle g iate and profssional fotball pla y ers  12  as obese, thou g h their
percenta g e bod y  ft is low. Conversel y , someone with a small fame ma y  have hi g h
bod y  ft but a  13  BMI.
Toda y  we have a(n)  14  to label obesity as a disgrace. The overwei g ht
are sometimes  15  in the media with their fces covered. Stereotyes  16
with obesity include laziness, lack of will power, and lower prospects fr success.
Teachers, emplo y ers, and health profssionals have been shown to harbor biases
a g ainst  the  obese.  17  very
y oun g
children  tend  to  look  down on  the
overwei g ht, and teasin g  about bod y  build has lon g  been a problem in schools.
Ne g ative  attitudes  toward  obesity,  18  in  health  concers,  have
stimulated a number of anti-obesity  19  . M y  own hospital s y stem has banned
su g ary drinks fom its fcilities. Man y  emplo y ers have instituted wei g ht loss and
ftness initiatives. Michelle Obama has launched a hi g h-visibilit y  campaign  20
childhood obesit y , even claimin g  that it represents our
g reatest national security threat.
