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。
