in patients should remain on blood thinners. 5. Which is Dr. Sania Nishtar39。 s ment on the Lancet study? ____ [A] The study has found out all the answers for the difference in the risk of blood clot between men and women The study has helped doctors determine how long certain patients should remain on blood thinners [C] The study is meaningless since it had not found out any definitive answers [D] The study has found out no definitive answers, but it is still quite valuable of the future research. Passage Two Many Americans often reach for a sugary, caffeineated soda to quench their thirst. But aside from the increased risk of obesity and diabetes, regular consumption of cola might lead to lower bone mineral density in older women and increase their risk of osteoporosis, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Katherine Tucker, director of Tuft University39。 s Epidemiology and Dietary Assessment Program, led her colleagues in a study that analyzed dietary questionnaires submitted by 1,125 men and 1,413 women between the ages of 29 and 86. Overall, participants were largely former smokers and moderate drinkers who were slightly overweight and, on average, men drank cola five times a week while women drank it four times a week. Density measurements show cola consumption significantly reduced bone mass in the hip regardless of the woman39。 s age, menopausal status, intake of calcium and vitamin D and her history of smoking and alcohol consumption. Diet cola had a similar affect on women39。 s bone density. By contrast, the bone density of male was not similarly affected. What it means: A socalled silent disease, osteoporosis is progressive and often misunderstood as a natural consequence of aging. Four times as many women will develop osteoporosis than men and currently 10 million Americans suffer from it. But osteoporosis is preventable and the nearly 34 million Americans who have the potential to develop the disease can take steps to prevent it. Caffeine has been considered a risk factor for osteoporosis and phosphoric acid, found in cola, has been shown to reduce calcium absorption. Additionally, high fructose corn syrup might also weaken bone. It is important to note that at least one previous study showed a link between cola consumption and increases in the amount of calcium measured in urine. This study shows that women are more sensitive to the effects of cola than men, but the mechanism is still unclear. Researchers ruled out the possibility that cola replaces healthier beverages, such as milk, in the diet that might lead to lower bone density. And to the point of gender, they suggest that more physical activity, a diet higher in calcium and different hormone levels might help protect males from the downside of drinking cola. Until further research is done, however, women (and men) can keep their bones strong with regular weightbearing exercise and high intake of calcium and vitamin D. 1. What is true about the participants took part in the dietary questionnaires carried out by Katherine Tucker and her colleagues? ______ [A] They were all former smokers. They are fat heavy drinkers. [C] They suffered similarly from the drinking of cola. [D] They were all regular cola drinkers. 2. Generally speaking, why women will suffer more from the downside of drinking cola than men? ______ [A] Because women have less physical activity. Because women will decline more quickly than men when getting older. [C] Because women39。 s diet is usually lower in calcium. [D] Both A and C 3. A silent disease (in the first sentence of paragraph three) means____ [A] a disease that makes you dumb a disease that can not defend itself [C] a disease that es to us as time flows [D] a disease that should not be mentioned 4. Which one of the following is false according to the passage? ______ [A] Diet cola reduces women39。 s bone density as much as mon cola. It is monly accepted that people will suffer from osteoporosis more possibly when they are getting older. [C] The researchers believe that sometimes cola can replace milk while not lead to lower bone density. [D] Women can resort to exercises to keep their bone strong. 5. According to the passage, which opinion is true? ____ [A] Regular consumption of cola might lead to lower bone mineral density in younger women. It is already clear why women are more sensitive to the effects of cola than men. [C] Cola consumption can reduce same bone mass in the hip of any woman. [D] Men39。 s intake of calcium would not be reduced by Cola consumption. 练习答案与题解 I. Cloze 1. outset 和 opening 表 示开端,起始; onset 一般表示(坏事)的开始,动手;oute 指结果,成果;文中此处讲的是帕金森氏症的开始,所以用 onset 最合适。 2. [A] destroy 强调以具有摧毁或杀伤性的力量把某物彻底毁掉; demolish 尤其适用摧毁象建筑物之类的庞大物体,词义引伸后可以表示推翻已经确立了的理论等;wreck 尤其适用于表示碰毁、撞坏,词义引伸之后, wreck 通常表示抽象含义的彻底毁掉,这时可与 ruin 换用; ruin 亦指彻底毁掉,但不含有以某种摧毁性的力量进行破坏,而含有在一定的过程中逐渐毁 掉的意思。 文中此处说的是摇头丸对脑细胞的杀伤情况,所以应选择 destroy。 3. [C] intuition 是对诸如真理或事实的洞察力或理解力,而不牵扯理性的过程;understanding 是某人理解认知的能力,常带有从运用中获得的理解力之意;reason 是指通过理性且逻辑地思考并作出推理的能力; judgment 是对形势或环境的估计并作出正确结论的能力。 此处说摇头丸除了会影响动作,还会影响人们的理性思维能力,所以选 reason。 4. 此题根据后面的介词 to 应选择 link,其他三个词均需和介词 with 搭配。 5. [A] 文中此处说的这项研究中选用的是猴子和狒狒,而且因为主语是 study,所以应该用现在分词表示主动含义,综合考虑只能选用 involving。 6. [C] 此处是说这两种灵长类动物遭受了严重的伤害,因此选 suffer。 7. [D] 此处是说这种主要的细胞被称为多巴胺神经细胞,由于是被动含义,因此只能在过去分词中选择。 mark 表示作标记, title 表示给予称号尤其是头衔,放在此处均不合适,所以选 called。 8. [D] 由于前面的介词 at 是因此排除选 [A]和的可能, intermission 是表示暂停或停顿,不符合文义; interval 表示时间间隔,同时可以和 at 搭配,所以选择该词。 9. [C] 前文一直在讲吸食摇头丸可能会对大脑造成的损伤,所以我们可以初步判断此处可能该选用 brain 一词,而根据常识,我们还知道狒狒和人类在脑结构方面最相似,因此选 [C]。 10. [D] disuse 是指 停用 ; illuse 是指 虐待和凌辱 ; misuse 是指 误用 ,意思不符; abuse 表示 滥用。 此处讲的是滥用毒品的危险,所以选择该词。 11. claiming 表示 索取,夺走 ,暗指采用 一种貌似合理的暴力手段取走,此处是指吸毒可能已经夺走了一些神经系统遭受重大伤。
