1.Owing to the over population in urban areas and the lack of employment opportunity, the crime rate is also a huge problem we are faced with. The problem of delinquency is increasingly more serious in this area. Also the lack of the traditional family structure and weakened bounds of kinship lower the moral of these children growing up in the urban areas. These children grow up in poverty and usually look at crimes as a quick and easy way out. The problems in urban areas are far more than can be handled in any short-term efforts. We can only hope to contain them and attempt to make sure that no more problems arise from the already existing ones.
　　
由于城市地區人口過多和就業機會不足，犯罪率也是我們面臨的一個巨大問題。在這些地區，青少年犯罪行為正變得日益嚴重。此外，傳統家庭結構的缺失和親屬聯系的弱化，導致了在城市長大的孩子道德水準的下降。這些在貧窮中長大的孩子，常常把犯罪看成是一條致富脫困的捷徑。城市地區的這些問題遠非短期努力所能解決。我們只能寄希望于容忍這些問題，并努力確保不再有新的問題從原有問題滋生出來。
　　
解析：本段講的是城市的犯罪率高和道德水準下降的問題，是典型的對社會問題的考察，一直以來社會問題都是高口考察的重點對象，所以，在今后的復習中考生應當繼續多學習關于社會問題方面的文章。本段聽力不算太難，需要注意的是delinquency和weakened bounds of kinship兩處。
　　
2.The problem of childhood obesity is proportional to the number of environmental factors, such as the location of a grocery store, relative to a home. Poor diet and physical inactivity are the two major contributors to obesity in the city and the most preventable causes of death.

Women are more likely to be obese than men, 25 percent versus 19 percent. Residents with diabetes and hypertension are more likely to be obese than to be of a normal weight. Residents who eat five or more fruits or vegetables daily are less likely to be overweight or obese. High-school-age boys are more likely to be obese at 19 percent than their female counterpart, nearly 16percent of whom are obese.
　　
青少年肥胖問題是與環境因素成正比的，如食品雜貨店距離家的遠近等。飲食不善和缺乏運動是城市人群肥胖的罪魁禍首，也是兩個最容易預防的死亡導因。女性比男性更容易肥胖，其比例是百分之二十五比百分之十九?；加刑悄虿『透哐獕旱某鞘芯用窕忌戏逝挚赡苄员葥碛姓ｓw重的可能性更大。每天食用果蔬五個以上的居民不容易超重或肥胖。高中男生與女生相比，更容易患上肥胖，其比例是百分之十九，而女生肥胖比例只有百分之十六。
　　
解析：本題難點在于數字和比例關系。中心詞為obesity. 第一句話說青少年肥胖是與其環境因素相關的，注意proportional 這個詞，表示“與…成比例”。第二句話解釋導致肥胖的兩個因素：飲食不善和缺乏運動。此后進行對比，女性比男性更容易患上肥胖，其比例分別是百分之二十五比百分之十九，這是兩個需要及時記下的數字。此后兩句分別解說容易患上肥胖和不容易患上肥胖的兩種人。最后一句仍是一組對比，在高中生中，男生更易肥胖，其比例是百分之十九，而女生是百分之十六?？梢钥闯?，段落難度并不大，但是數字和比例關系是考查重點。
