A.People are accumulating wealth.
B.People are getting thinner.
C.People are losing ounces.
D.People are gaining weight.请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!
参考答案
正确答案:D
解析:语义理解题。做此类题型时要注意联系上下文。分析文章最后两句话可知,people are still piling on the pounds是医生一致认为政府应该采取措施来制止这种情况的原因。既然要“制止”,肯定不是好事,故排除[A];[B]“人们变瘦”和[C]“人们的体重减轻”(lose ounces的意思可从第五段第三句话和第四句话判断出)表达的是同一个意思,故都排除,答案选[D]。pile on the pounds的意思是“体重增加”。
