For each of them, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the
28、 square brackets on your machine-scoring BANSWER SHEET/B./IBPassage One/BChildren are getting so fat they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert claimed yesterday.Todays youngsters are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes because of their weight. Fat
29、ty fast-food diets combined with sedentary lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolut
30、ionary shift because adults are getting so fat. Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36-38 in and may be 42-44 in by 2032. This compares with only 32.6 in in 1972. Womens waists have grown from an average of 22 in in 1920 to 24 in in the Fifties and 30 in n
31、ow. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger. In the UK alone, more than one million under-16s are classed as overweight or obesedouble the number in the mid-Eighties. One in ten four-year-olds are also medically classified as obese. The obe
32、sity pandemican extensive epidemicwhich started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australia, Central America and the Middle East.Many nations now record more than 20 percent of their population as clinically obese and well over half the population as overweight. Prof. Prentice said the change in
33、our shape has been caused by a glut of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments.He is not alone in his concern. Only last week one medical journal revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases. Obesity als
34、o increases the risk factor for strokes and heart disease. An averagely obese persons lifespan is shortened by around nine years, while a severely obese person by many more.Prof Prentice said: “So will parents outlive their children, as claimed recently by an American obesity specialist?“ The answer
35、 is yesand no. Yes, when the offspring become grossly obese. This is now becoming an alarmingly common occurrence in the US. Such children and adolescents have a greatly reduced quality of life in terms of both their physical and psychosocial health. So say No to that doughnut and burger.（分数：6.00）(1

40、.(6).What does “outlive“ in the last paragraph mean?（分数：1.00）A.live outside homeB.have longer lifespanC.die beforeD.have a outdoor lifeBPassage Two/BIn a sense, the new protectionism is not protectionism at all, at least not in the traditional sense of the term. The old protectionism referred only t
41、o trade restricting and trade expanding devices, such as the tariff or export subsidy. The new protectionism is much broader than this: it includes interventions into foreign trade but is not limited to them. The new protectionism, in fact, refers to how the whole of government intervention into the
42、 private economy affects international trade. The emphasis on trade is still there, thus came the term “protection“. But what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affect international economic relations. The emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world re
43、flects the victory of the interventionist, or welfare economy over the market economy. Jab Tumiler writes, “The old protectionismcoexisted, without any apparent intellectual difficulty with the acceptance of the market as a national as well as an international economic distribution mechanismindeed,
44、protectionists as well as (if not more than) free traders stood for laissez faire (放任政策). Now, as in the 1930s, protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the ability of the market to distribute resources and incomes to societies satisfaction.“It is precisely this profound skeptic
45、ism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism. In a market economy, economic change of various color simplies redistribution of resources and incomes. The same opinion in many communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper. Therefore, the government in
46、tervenes to bring about a more desired result.The victory of the welfare state is almost complete in northern Europe. In Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal. In Great Britain this is onl
47、y somewhat less true. Government traditionally has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so. Only West Germany dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe. It also happens to be the most successful Western European economy.The w
48、elfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as in Western Europe. Social security, unemployment insurance, minimum wage laws, and rent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the America scene.（分数：6.00）(1).This passage is primarily concerned with discussi
