Being fat is bad for you. On that, almost everyone agrees. It is just possible, though, that almost everyone is wrong. In fact, getting fat may be a mechanism that protects the body. The health problems (36)associated with fatness may not be caused by it but be another consequence, another symptom, of overeating.

That is the heretical (异端邪说的) (37)proposal of Roger Unger and Philipp Scherer. They have been (38)reviewing the science of what has come to be known as metabolic syndrome (代谢综合症). This is a host of symptoms such as high blood pressure, insulin (胰岛素) resistance and fatness that seem to increase the (39)risk of heart disease and strokes and liver disease. Metabolic syndrome is (40)found in one-sixth of the American population.

\ (41)collection of symptoms whose common cause is not properly understood. The symptom of metabolic syndrome that appears first is usually fatness, so this is generally regarded as the (42)potential cause.

Dr. Unger and Dr. Scherer, however, turn this logic on its head. They point out that there is usually a period of many years between a person becoming overweight and his (43)developing other symptoms. If the growth of the body cells was directly harmful, that would not be the case. This is one of the lines of evidence that has led them to the conclusion

that, in addition to its role in storing energy as a way to (44)fight against future famine, getting fat is a (45)protective mechanism against metabolic syndrome. A) proposal B) issue C) developing D) stored E) protective F) negative G) fight H) collection I) reviewing J) assigned K) risk L) found M) discovered N) associated O) potential

36.正确答案为 N) associated 你没有作答。 解析：N) associated

第36题：句子意思题。这里要表达的意思是：与肥胖有关的健康问题。be associated with sth为固定搭配，意思是“与??有关、与??相关的”，所以此处填人associated。

第37题：上下文联系题。上文描述了一种对于肥胖的新的认识理论，这里是说这就是由Roger Unger 和Philipp Scherer提出的貌似异端邪说的新提议。Proposal有“建议、提议”的意思，所以此处填入proposal。 第38题：逻辑分析和语法结构题。由句子的结构可知，此处需要填入一个动词的现在分词形式。由常识推断可知，一种新的理论的创立肯定是在回顾以往研究的基础之上的，review意为“回顾、审查”，意思最为合适，所以此处填入reviewing。

第39题：常识判断题。由常识可知，高血压、胰岛素抗拒和肥胖都可能会增加心脏病、中风和肝病风险，risk意为“危险性、风险”，所以此处填入risk。

第40题：句子意思题。这里要表达的意思是：研究发现六分之一的美国人患有代谢综合症。Find有“（经过研究、计算、测试等）发现、找出”的意思，这里用被动形式，所以此处填入found。

第41题：上下文联系题。上文提到syndrome时说这是指a host of symptoms（许多症状）。这里要选出与之意思相近的单词，a collection of可以表示“一堆、许多”的意思，所以此处填入collection。 第42题：句子意思题。这里要表达的意思是：代谢综合症的首要表现一般是肥胖，所以肥胖往往被看做该病的潜在起因。Potential意为“潜在的、可能的”，所以此处填入potential。

第43题：单词用法题。Develop有患病、得病的意思。这里是说一个人体重超标和他患上其他症状之间通常有几年时间，所以此处填入developing。

第44题：固定用法题。这里要表达的意思是：对抗将来的饥饿。Fight against为固定用法，意为“与??作战；对抗??”，所以此处填入fight。

第45题：句子意思题。这里要表达的意思是：变胖是对抗代谢综合症的一种保护机制。Protective意思是“保护的、防护的”，所以此处填入protective。 37.正确答案为 A) proposal 你没有作答。 解析：A) proposal 略

38.正确答案为 I) reviewing 你没有作答。 解析：I) reviewing 略

39.正确答案为 K) risk 你没有作答。 解析：K) risk 略

A Recently, climate scientists have taken a widely-spreading criticism in the media and on the Internet, accused of hiding data, covering up errors and preventing others from expressing views. Their response until now has been largely to assert the legitimacy (合法性) of the vast body of climate science and to call their critics as know-nothings.But the volume of criticism and the depth of doubt have only grown, and many scientists now realize they are facing a crisis of public confidence and have to fight back. Up to now, they are beginning to face their critics, admit mistakes, open up their data and reshape their working way.
