Obesity Causes Global Warming

The list of ills attributable to obesity keeps growing. Last week,obese people were accused of causing
global warming.
This conclusion comes from Sheldon Jacobson of the University of Illinois,US,and a doctoral student,
Laura McLay.Their study calculates how much extra gasoline is needed to haul fat Americans around.The
answer,they say,is a billion gallons of gas per year._________(46)
There has been calls for taxes on junk food in recent years.________(47)"We tax cigarettes partly
because of their health cost,"Schmidt said."Similarly,leading a lazy lifestyle will end up costing taxpayers
more。"
US political scientist Eric Oliver said his first instinct was to laugh at these gas and fast food arguments.
But such claims are getting attention.
At the US Obesity Society's annual meeting,one person correlated obesity with car accident deaths,and
another correlated obesity with suicides.________(48)"The funny thing was that everyone took it seriously,"
Oliver said.
In a 1960s study,children were shown drawings of children with disabilities and without them,and a
drawing of an obese child.They were asked which they would want for a friend?________(49)
Three researchers recently repeated the study using college students.Once again,almost no one,not
even obese people,liked the obese person."Obesity was stigmatized,"the researchers said.
But,researchers say,getting thin is not like quitting smoking.People struggle to stop smoking,and,in
the end,many succeed.Obesity is different.But,not because obese people don't care.________(50)
Genes also play a part.
选项 _________(49)
A:A meager diet may keep you thin.
B:It means an extra 11 million tons of carbon dioxide.
C:The obese child was picked last.
D:US economist Martin Schmidt suggests a tax on fast food delivered to people's car.
E:Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight.
F:No one asked whether there was really a cause-and-effect relationship.
答案C
解析第三段讲到Sheldon Jacobson和Laura McLay在一项研究中计算了美国肥胖人士一年的交通需要多消耗10亿加仑的汽油。从所给的这些句子来看，只有B项是与此连贯的二B项说的是：这意味着多出一千一百万吨二氧化碳。
第三段的主题句是第一句，意思是：在最近这些年里，不断有人提出要对垃圾食品征税。只有D项是与此连贯的。D项说的是：美国经济学家Martin Schmidt建议对送到车上的快餐征税。另外，从主题的发展来看，也只有这个句子最合适。
第五段开头说到，在美国肥胖协会的年会上，有人把车祸造成的死亡跟肥胖联系了起来，也有人把自杀跟肥胖联系了起来。只有F项是与此连贯的。F项说的是：没有人问一问它们之间是否真正存在因果关系。
第六段主要是讲一个实验，先让几童看一组画，画里有正常和残疾的儿童，还有一个小胖子，然后问他们愿意和谁做朋友。只有C项是与此连贯的。C项说的是：最后被挑到的是小胖子。
最后一段中“People struggle to stop smoking, and, in the end, many succeed. Obesity isdifferent. But, not because obese people don' t care.”讲的是减肥跟戒烟不一样，减肥在一定程度上受到基因的控制。只有E项是与此连贯的。E项说的是：科学已经表明，胖子自己几乎是无法控制体重的。
