Rising levels of obesity and unhealthy weights could be linked to 670,000 extra cases of cancer in the next 20 years, a UK report predicts.
   If current trends continue, experts say, almost three in four adults could be overweight or obese by 2035, bringing a host of health issues.
   Their work suggests a rise in the number of people who are overweight or obese would contribute to 4.6 million additional cases of type-2 diabetes and 1.6 million extra cases of heart disease by 2035.
   The report recommends a number of ways to tackle this problem, including introducing a 20 pence per litre tax on sugary drinks and a review of how food is advertised online.
   Department of Health officials said they had already brought in a ban on adverts featuring junk food during children’s TV programmes and would be launching a childhood obesity strategy shortly.
1. What is the news report mainly about?
2. What does the report suggest to tackle the problem?
选项 A、The U.K. experts are tackling a host of health problems.
B、Overweight could lead to healthy problems.
C、The trend of raising level of obesity will continue.
D、Children are taking too many sugary drinks.
答案 B
解析 新闻开篇第一句是总起句，指出肥胖和超重问题会引发未来几十万例癌症和其他健康问题(bringing a host of health issues)，之后又具体指出问题的严重性及解决方法，故选B“超重可以引发健康问题”。A“英国的专家正在处理一大堆健康问题”偏离重点。C将重点放在“肥胖人数上升”这一趋势上，也是偏离重点。D“小孩喝太多软饮料”没有在新闻提到。
