1、第十二篇快餐加免费降胆固醇药物可以降低罹患心脏病的风险+第十二篇 Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk伦敦帝国理工学院的研究者们在一项新研究中建议，快餐店可以免费供应降胆固醇药物以此降低顾客食用油腻食品罹患心脏病的风险。Fast food outlets could1 provide statin drugs free of _so that cusomers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food,researchers at Imperial Colleg

B 本文介绍说，吃汉堡包等快餐食品容易引发心脏病，而服用 statin 能降低心脏病发作的风险，一正一负正好抵消。statin 价格便宜，文章建议快餐店像免费供应调味品那样免费供应 statin。 free of charge 是固定搭配，意为“ 免费“ 。选择 charge 是对的。2. C 本题要选 suggest ，因为其他三个选项在意思上都不合适。此外，本句主句
3、的谓语动词用了 could provide ，委婉地含有“建议“ 的意思。所以， suggest 是个不二的选择。降胆固醇药物能减少不健康的低密度脂蛋自胆固醇在血被中的含量。大量的实验数据已经证明，降胆固醇药能有效降低罹患心脏病的风险。Statins reduce the amount of unhealthy “LDL“ cholesterol in the blood. A wealth of trial Data4 has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a persons heart attack risk.A. numbe

D 从上下文判断，要降低lower 的当然是 risk。 lower frequency 降低频率 、lower treatment 降低治疗或 lower diagnosis 降低诊断与上下文的意思都不匹配。在美国心脏病学杂志发表的一篇论文里，Darr
5、el Francis 博士和他的同事们估计，一粒降胆固醇药降低的罹患心脏病的风险，足以抵消食用汉堡和饮用奶昔所提高的罹患心脏病的风险。In a paper published in the American Joumal of Cardiolog，Dr. Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is enough to offset the increase in heart attack risk from eating a chee
6、seburger and drinking a milkshake.A. severe B. enough C. weak D act1veA. buyingt B. prepanng C. eating D cooking5.B 本句表达的意思是: Dr Darrel Francis 在他的论文中说，经过计算，一粒 statin 降低心脏病发作的风险足以抵消吃一个奶醋汉堡包和喝一杯奶昔所增加的患心脏病的风险。所以，本题的答案是 enough 。6. C 顾客不可能在快餐店里 preparing cheeseburger 或 cooking cheeseburger ，而 buying che
7、eseburger 不会增加心脏病风险。所以，只有 eating cheeseburger才合乎上下文的意思。Francis 博士来自帝国理工学院的国家心肺学院，是本次研究的资深发起人。他认为“降胆固醇药物不能消除所有汉堡和炸土豆条带来的不健康的影响，最好远离所有油腻食物。但是，就罹患心脏病的概率而言，我们得出这样的结论：服用降胆固醇药物降低心脏病发作的风险与快餐增加的患心脏病的风险在程度上大致相当。“Dr. Francis ,from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London , who is the s
8、enior author of the study , said: “Statins dont cut out all of the unhealtly effects of cheeseburgers and French fries.Its better to avoid fatty food altogether. But weve worked out that in terms of your possibility of having a heart attack， taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the s

A 从上下文判断，被 cut out 去除的 effects 一定是 unhealthy effects ，所以 unhealthy 是本题的答案。8. 本句中的 in terms of 意为 “就而言“，要与后半句
10、“ 一正一负相互抵消“的意思相匹配，所以只能是“ 就患心脏病的可能性而言 “。possobility 是答案。9. A 本句的意思与第五句的意思相同，即 statin 降低心脏病发作的风险与快餐增加的心脏病的风险在程度degree 上大致相当。如果选择其他三个选项，意思变成了“尺寸dimension上、角度 angle 上或范围range 上大致相当，就说不通了。“具有讽刺意味的是，人们在快餐店里可以随意拿取对健康有害的调味包，但是对健康有利的降胆固醇药物却是处方药。既然对健康有害的调味包可以随意免费拿取，那么降低心脏病发作的降胆固醇药物免费随意拿取也是合理的。在每个顾客身上花不了 5 便士，
11、也就是一小袋糖的价格。 ”Francis 博士说道。“ It s ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthy condiments in fast food outlets as they like , but statins , which are beneficial to heart health , have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy con

D 填词所在的句子的意思告诉我们，具有讽剌意味的
13、一点是 :顾客可以随心所欲地免费享用不健康的调味品。as one like 是固定用法，意为“ 随某人所愿，随某人所喜欢“ 。所以， like 是答案。其余三个选项用在本句中都不合造。11. B transported (运输) 、preserved (保存) 或 converted (转换)填人句子中，意思都不顺。只有填人 provided (提供)符合句意。 provided 是答案。12. C 到快餐店去就餐的人当然是 customer。当人们做出诸如驾驶和吸烟等危险行为时，别人会鼓励他们系安全带或选择有过滤嘴的香烟以降低风险。服用降胆固醇药物是降低油腻食物引发的心脏病发作风险的理性做法

A 为了降低开车和吸烟的风险，人们被鼓励要采取一些安全措施。作者借此说明为了降低食用快餐的风险，我们也要采取措施。根据这层意思，选择 measures 是正确的。Take measure 的意思是“ 采取措施 “。其他三个选项都不合适：take care 的意思是“ 注意，小心“ ，take advantage 的意思是“利用“ ,take turns 的意思是“ 轮流，依次 “ 。14
16、. B 本题很明显要选 wearing，因为上下文的意思是 “系上安全带“ 。buying a seatbelt ,cleaning a seatbelt 和 changing a seatbelt 都与上下文的意思相去甚远。15. C 通篇文章都在阐述 statin 能降低患心脏病的风险。所以， lowering( 降低) 是答案。+第十二篇 Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart RiskFast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of 1 so that cusomers
