36、文。文章介绍了如今世界各地的人体重越来越超标，主要是由于农村地区的体重指数(BMI)增加了，并分析了其中的原因。1and考查连词。句意：在一项对200个国家33年体重指数趋势的研究中，科学家们发现，世界各地的人们体重越来越重，而这主要是由于农村地区体重指数的增加。分析句子结构可知， “that people worldwide are getting heavier”和 “that most of the rise is due to gains in BMI in rural areas”都是found引导的宾语从句，是并列关系。故填and。2that/which考查定语从句关系代词。句意：
37、BMI是一种国际公认的测量工具，它可以显示一个人的体重是否健康。分析句子结构可知，tool是先行词，且在从句中作主语。故填that/which。3persons考查名词所有格。句意：它的计算方法是用一个人的体重(公斤)除以身高(米)的平方，BMI在19到25之间被认为是健康的。分析句子结构可知，person是修饰weight的，用 person的名词所有格persons。故填persons。4is considered考查被动语态。句意：同上。分析句子结构可知，句子缺少谓语，主语(a BMI)是单数，时态是一般现在时，且主语和consider之间是被动关系。故填is considered。5b

39、had，所以study用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是countries，表被动关系。故填studied。8sharply考查副词。句意：但30年后，许多国家城市和农村人口的BMI差异大幅缩小。分析句子结构可知，sharp是要修饰动词narrow，用sharp的副词形式sharply。故填sharply。9living考查非谓语动词。句意：这可能是由于生活在农村的人有一些不利条件，包括较低的收入和教育水平，较高的健康食品成本，以及较少的体育设施。分析句子结构可知，句子已有谓语动词 “may be”，故live用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是people，表主动关系，作定语，用现在分词形式。故填living。10lower考查形容词比较级。句意：同上。分析句子结构可知，including说明的是一些不利条件，且后面有higher和fewer，是并列关系，所以low也应该用比较级形式。故填lower。
