2.B【解析】根據(jù)下句內(nèi)容＂Yet,between1980and2000,thenumberofAmericanswhoareobesehasdoubled—tooquicklyforgeneticfactorstoberesponsible.＂（然而，在1980年到2000年，美國肥胖的人數(shù)就翻了一番。該速度太快，可見肥胖并非遺傳因素所致）可知，此處表示＂肥胖比例有所增加，故B項正確。

3.G【解析】根據(jù)上句＂Researchshowsthatifwearefacedwithtoomuchinformation,wehaveatendencytomakepoorchoicesondiet.＂（研究表明，如果我們面臨太多信息，我們很可能會就節(jié)食作出糟糕的選擇）可知，該句應表示＂我們現(xiàn)在的食物如此豐富以致于我們會被引導以自己難以想象的方式去消耗食物＂，故選G項。

5.D【解析】根據(jù)下句＂althoughadropinworkrelatedphysicalactivitymayexplainupto100fewercaloriesburned,leisurephysicalactivityappearstohaveincreased.＂（盡管跟工作相關的體力活動減少導致人們少燃燒多達100卡路里，但休閑體力活動似乎有所增加）可知，在二十世紀八十年代和九十年代，人們的體力活動并未明顯減少，故選D項。四、短文改錯ThedaybeforeMother'sDay，everybodyaroundmewastalkingaboutwhatwasmostsuitablegifttheywouldbuyfortheirmothers.Buyingflowerswerewhatmoststudentswoulddo.However，Iwantedtodosomethingdifferently.AsthenIlivedinschoolandcouldn'tgobackhomeonMother'sDay，soIdecidedtocallherandsenthermybestwishes.IsearchedtheInternetforsuggestions，whatwereveryuseful，andIreaditcarefully.WhenIcalledmymother，however，Ihadthefeelthatsomeoneelse'swordswouldhavenomeaningtoher.SoIgaveinandjusttoldmymotherIlovedherandthankedhertoallshehaddoneforme.【答案】ThedaybeforeMother'sDay，everybodyaroundmewastalkingaboutwhatwaseq\o(\s\up8(∧),the)mostsuitablegifttheywouldbuyfortheirmothers.Buyingflowerseq\f(were,was)whatmoststudentswoulddo.However，Iwantedtodosomethingeq\
