In the Western diet, about 400 or 500 calories more than people need are eaten a day【2】. Overweight people have more chances for the diseases like heart disease and some cancers. Heart disease is a main cause of death in the Western countries.

Unfortunately, when people become rich, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health problems. Now in Asia, people have them more likely than in the West.【3】. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on, just nation after nation.

【4】. As the world’s population grows, more forests will become farmland or grasslands.【5】. Because of the change in diet, in the future the greenhouse gases from these areas will be more than all that which right now comes out of all kinds of transportation, such as cars, airplanes, boats and ships. So our change in diet is likely to be worse for the world, and for the weather warming than all the transportation we use now.

【2】句意：這導(dǎo)致人們體重增加。根據(jù)上文In the Western diet, about 400 or 500 calories more than people need are eaten a day（在西方飲食中，每天攝入的熱量比人們需要的多400或500卡路里。）結(jié)合選項(xiàng)（句意）可知此句是“這導(dǎo)致人們體重增加�！惫蔬xC。

【3】句意：中國心臟病數(shù)量激增就是一個(gè)例子。根據(jù)上文Unfortunately, when people become rich, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health problems. Now in Asia, people have them more likely than in the West. （不幸的是，當(dāng)人們變得富有時(shí)，如果他們采用這種西方飲食，他們也會(huì)有同樣的健康問題。現(xiàn)在在亞洲，人們比西方更有可能擁有它們。）和下文And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on, just nation after nation.（世界各地都在發(fā)生這樣的事情，墨西哥，尼日利亞等等，一個(gè)接一個(gè)的國家。）結(jié)合選項(xiàng)（句意）可知此句是“中國心臟病數(shù)量激增就是一個(gè)例子�！惫蔬xA。

So our change in diet is likely to be worse for the world, and for the weather warming than all the transportation we use now.（由于飲食的變化，未來這些地區(qū)的溫室氣體將超過目前所有交通工具（如汽車、飛機(jī)、船只）所產(chǎn)生的溫室氣體。因此，我們飲食的改變對世界和氣候變暖的影響可能比我們現(xiàn)在使用的所有交通工具都要嚴(yán)重。）可知本段的主題是“飲食也對環(huán)境有害。”故選E。

【5】句意：這些地區(qū)將需要生產(chǎn)更多的食物。根據(jù)上文As the world’s population grows, more forests will become farmland or grasslands（隨著世界人口的增長，更多的森林將變成農(nóng)田或草地。）結(jié)合選項(xiàng)（句意）可知此句是“這些地區(qū)將需要生產(chǎn)更多的食物。” 故選B。
