【答案解析】[听力原文] 31-35
Muslims are more likely than other religious minorities to be unemployed and live in poor housing in the most deprived parts of England, according to a government study Monday.
Half of English Muslims over the age of 25 are not involved in the formal labor market and a third live in the most deprived areas of the country, according to the study commissioned by the government.
Muslims are also particularly vulnerable to long-term illness and experience poor levels of education, said the researchers from the universities of Derby, Warwick, Birmingham and Oxford.
"Taking the Muslim population as a whole, they face some of the most acute conditions of multiple deprivation," the report said.
The report said members of the Muslim, Sikh and Hindu communities were likely to remain concentrated in the same areas because families want to stay close together and many prefer to live near their places of worship.
A government spokeswoman said the academics had reviewed a variety of data, including information from the 2001 national census.
The government will use the study in its work to encourage equal opportunities for members of all religious communities, the spokeswoman said.
Sir Iqbal Sacranie, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said the research showed the poverty and other deep-seated problems that have contributed to the marginalization and disaffection felt among many young Muslims.
"We hope that this report serves to highlight the need to develop policies that are able to reach into these communities and fulfill their needs," Sacranie said.

[典型试题解析]
如第26题属于细节信息型题目。题干为“以下哪项慢性病没有在文中提到?”根据原文“Chronic diseases include heart disease，stroke，cancer，diabetes and lung disorders.”，译文为“慢性病包括心脏病、中风、癌症、糖尿病及肺部疾病。”因此，arditis(心脏炎)没有在原文中提到。
如第27题属于细节信息型题目。题干为“根据文章，以下哪项不符合关于慢性病的描述?”根据原文“The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than five hundred thousand million dollars in the next ten years.”，译文为“世界卫生组织预计，在未来 10年中，中国将花费5000多亿美元用于慢性病的防治。”选项d为5000人民币，所以是错误的。
如第28题属于细节信息型题目。题干为“根据世界卫生组织的报告，全球慢性病增长的原因是什么?”，根据原文“It says deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in many countries.”，译文为“报告说，死于慢性病的人数增长主要是因为许多国家的经济增长。”，所以选a。
如第29题属于细节信息型题目。题干为“以下哪项疾病在亚洲地区导致最多人死亡?”根据原文“Mister Kim says infectious and parasitic diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific.”，所以选c。
如第30题属于综合判断型题目。本文的主旨是讨论慢性病及其在全球导致许多人死亡的事实，综合判断得出b为合适选项。
