【解析】本文选自《TheParadoxofHungerandObesityinAmerica》和《Hunger,obesity:
twosidesofsamecoin.》,命题者对两篇文章的内容进行了节选和组合,组成了一篇听写段落。
本文属于社会经济类文章,介绍了hunger和obesity的“共存”和“矛盾”方面的问题。
文章的整体难度不是太大,涉及到obesity,agenda,foodinsecurity,coexist,paradox,calories,nutrition等相关词汇也是高口常见的词汇,但考生要注意文章中长句子的拆分,抓住句子的主干及核心信息,尤其是一些关键词更应该听懂听清。
另外,grapple等一些难度相对比较大的词要求考生在平时需要注意相关词汇的积累,多读一些经济报刊类的文章。
