问题 共用题干Free Statins with Fast Food could Neutralize Heart Risk
Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of1so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food,researchers at Imperial College London 2in a new study.
Statins reduce the3of unhealthy“LDL” cholesterol in the blood. A wealth of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person's heart attack4.
In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology,Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is5to offset the increase in heart attack risk from6a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake.
Dr Francis,from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London,who is the senior author of the study,said:“Statins don't cut out all of the7effects of cheeseburgers and French fries. It's better to avoid fatty food altogether. But we've worked out that in terms of your8of having a heart attack. Taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same9 as a fast food meal increases it.”“It's ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthy condi-ments in fast food outlets as they10,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 condiments that are 11 free of charge. It would cost less than 5 pence per/u>12一not much different to a sachet of sugar.”Dr Francis said.
When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking,they're encouraged to take13that lower their risk,like14a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters.
Taking a statin is a rational way of15some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.15._________A: increasing B: finding C: lowering D: taking
选项 15._________
A: increasing
B: finding
C: lowering
D: taking
答案 C
解析 本文介绍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。statin价格便宜，文章建议快餐店要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”。所以选项B为正确答案。
本题选suggest，因为其他三个选项在意思上都不合适。此外，本句主句的谓语动词用了could (provide)，委婉地含有“建议”的意思。所以suggest（建议）为正确答案。
与降低unhealthy “LDL” cholesterol搭配的一定是amount“量”，而不可能是number“数字”、 volume“体积”或product“乘积”。
从上下文语义判断，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。
本句意为：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酪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B项enough。
顾客不可能在快餐店里preparing cheeseburger或cooking cheeseburger，而 buying cheeseburger不会增加心脏病风险。所以，只有eating cheeseburger才合乎上下文的意思。因此答案为C。
从上下文语义判断，被cut out（去除）的effects一定是unhealthy effects，所以，A项unhealthy是本题的答案。
本句中的in terms of意为“就……而言”，要与后半句“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”。因此D项possibility是答案。
本句的意思与第五题的意思相同，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。其他三个选项，dimension“尺寸”, angle“角度”, range“范围”都不符合句意。
此题所在的句子的意思告诉我们，具有讽刺意味的一点是：顾客可以随心所欲地免费享用不健康的调味品。as one likes是固定用法，意为“随某人所愿，随某人所喜欢”。所以，D项like是答案。其余三个选项用在本句中都不合适。
transported“运输”、 preserved“保存”或converted“转换”填入句子中意思都不通顺。只有填入provided“提供”符合句意。因此B项provided是答案。
到快餐店去就餐的人当然是customer。所以答案为C。
为了降低开车和吸烟的风险，人们被鼓励采取一些安全措施。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意为“采取措施”。其他三个选项都不合适：take care意为“注意，小心”,take ad-vantage意为“利用”,take turns是“轮流，依次”。
本题很明显要选B项wearing，因为上下文的意思是“系上安全带”。buy-ing a seatbelt, cleaning a seatbelt和changing a seatbelt都不符合上下文的意思。
通篇文章都在阐述statin能降低患心脏病的风险。所以，C项lowering“降低”是答案。
