A New Strategy to Overcome Breast Cancer
Post-menopausal（绝经后的）women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer
significantly,a study has suggested.The report,which followed 73,000 women for 17 years,found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease.The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking.UK experts said there was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk.
A recent poll for the charity Ramblers found a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week, but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers.This study,published in Cancer
Epidemiology,Biomarkers&Prevention,followed 73,615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group.
They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking, swimming and aerobics（有氧运动）and how much time they spent
sitting watching television or reading.They completed the same questionnaires at two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009.Of the women,47%said walking was their only recreational activity.Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14%lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week.
Dr.Alpa Patel,a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta,Georgia,who led the study,said:"Given that more than 60%of women report some daily walking,promoting walking as a
healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women.We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity,just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women."" More strenuous（紧张的）and longer activities lowered the risk even more."
Baroness Delyth Morgan,chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign,said:"This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changes incorporated into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference."
She added:"We know that the best weapon to overcoming breast cancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place.The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer."The word"sustainable"in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A:affordableB:continuableC:availableD:persistent
选项 The word"sustainable"in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to______.
A:affordable
B:continuable
C:available
D:persistent
答案 B
解析 本篇文章主要探讨了乳腺癌与散步、娱乐以及生活方式的关系。
根据第一段第一句可知，研究表明walking（散步）可以减少乳腺癌的患病率；根据第一段第四句可知，更多事实表明lifestyle（生活方式）影响患癌风险；结合第三段第一句与第三句可知，walking, swimming, aerobics以及看电视、阅读等都属于recreational activity。这三种与癌症有关的因素文章都有提到，而breathing exercise没有被提到，所以选择B项。
根据第四段引用Dr.Alpa Patel的话语中的第二句可知，Dr.Alpa Patel发现每天散步一小时就能减少乳腺癌的患病率，所以选择A项。
根据第四段第一句可知，Dr.Alpa Patel" led the study"，也就是说，Dr.Alpa Patel是这项研究的带头人，所以现在D项。
根据第三段第三句可知，接受调查的人员中有47%的女性表示，散步是她们的唯一娱乐活动。由此可知，散步是约一半的女性唯一的娱乐活动，所以选择C项。
sustainable的意思是“可持续的，能持续的”，选项中只有B项continuable可以表示相同意思。affordable付得起的；persistent有毅力的，不屈不挠的；available可用的，有空的。另外根据常理也可以推测出生活方式的变化是持续不断的。
