二、听力原文

The Mediterranean diet is based upon the eating patterns of traditional cultures in the Mediterranean region.
Several noted nutritionists and research projects have concluded that this diet is one of the most healthful in the world in terms of preventing such illnesses as heart disease and cancer, and increasing life expectancy.
The countries that have inspired the Mediterranean diet all surround the Mediterranean Sea. These cultures have eating habits that developed over thousands of years. In Europe, parts of Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain, and southern France adhere to principles of the Mediterranean diet, as do Morocco and Tunisia in North Africa. Parts of the Balkan region and Turkey follow the diet, as well as Middle Eastern countries like Lebanon and Syria. The Mediterranean region is warm and sunny, and produces large supplies of fresh fruits and vegetables almost year round that people eat many times a day. Wine, bread, olive oil, and nuts, are other staples of the region, and the Mediterranean Sea has historically yielded abundant quantities of fish.
International interest in the therapeutic qualities of the Mediterranean diet began back in the late 1950s, when medical researchers started to link the occurrence of heart disease with diet. Dr. Ancel Keys performed an epidemiological analysis of diets around the world. Entitled the Seven Countries Study, is considered one of the greatest epidemiological studies ever performed. In it, Keys gathered data on heart disease and its potential causes from nearly 13,000 men in Greece, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Japan, Finland, the Netherlands, and the United States. The study was conducted over a period of decades. It concluded that the Mediterranean people in the study enjoyed some significant health advantages. The Mediterranean groups had lower mortality rates in all age brackets and from all causes, particularly from heart disease. The study also showed that the Mediterranean diet is as high or higher in fat than other diets, obtaining up to 40% of all its calories from fat. It has, however, different patterns of fat intake. Mediterranean cooking uses smaller amounts of saturated fat and higher amounts of unsaturated fat, mostly in the form of olive oil. Saturated fats are fats that are found principally in meat and dairy products, although some nuts and vegetable oils also contain them. Saturated fats are used by the body to make cholesterol, and high levels of cholesterol have since been directly related to heart disease.
Q23. What has research concluded about the Mediterranean diet?
Q24. What do we learn about the Seven Countries Study?
Q25. What do we learn about the Mediterranean people from the Seven Countries Study?
三、答案

22. A
23. A
24. C

大家好，今天我要谈谈贫困。

贫困已成为当今世界的一个重大问题。

贫困问题不仅让社会学家担忧，也让经济学家、政治家和商人担忧。

划分贫困的方法多种多样。

一个有用的方法是区分三种程度的贫困：极度贫困、中度贫困和相对贫困。

第一种贫困是极度贫困；它也被称为绝对贫困。

极度贫困是指，家庭收入不能维持其基本的生存需要。

人们长期处于饥饿状态。

他们连安全的饮用水都喝不到，更别说拥有医疗了。

他们负担不起孩子的教育费用。

简言之，处于极度贫困的人甚至连养活他自己和其家人的最低资源都没有。

极度贫困会在哪里出现呢？

那个，只有发展中国家才会有。

那么，中度贫困会在哪里出现呢？

与极度贫困不同，中度贫困一般是指生活条件，基本的生存需要勉强得到满足。

中度贫困的人拥有生存下去的资源，但仅仅是最基本的水平。

比如，他们有饮用水可喝，但却是不干净、不安全的饮用水。

他们有屋可住，但屋里没有电、电话或管道设施。

第三种贫困是相对贫困。

相对贫困通常被认为是家庭收入水平，它低于人均家庭收入的特定范围。

相对贫困者虽然居住在高收入国家，但他们本身的收入却并不高。

不同的国家有不同的计算贫困线的方法，

但基本上可以说，相对贫困家庭的收入要低于一定比例的人均家庭收入。

例如，在美国，如果一个家庭的收入不及全国的人均家庭收入的一半，那它就是贫困家庭。

他们可以维持基本的需要，但却很难满足享受文化、娱乐活动和消遣的需要。

他们也不能享受优质的医疗，或缺少向上层社会流动的先决条件。

好了，我已向你们简要介绍了如何区分极度贫困、中度贫困和相对贫困。

日后，无论我们研究的是发展中国家人们的生活状况，还是研究发达国家人们的生活状况，都要记住这些区别。

问题23至25是基于你刚才所听到的那段录音。

问题23：说话者是做什么的？

问题24：说话者说哪里会出现极度贫困？

问题25：我们了解到了相对贫困的美国人的什么信息？
