The volunteers then ate 90 grams of yoghurt a day for six weeks. At the end of the study, researchers took【C10】______again. They found hydrogen sulphide levels【C11】______in 80% of participants.
    Dr. Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said, "The foundation has long been【C12】______people’s attention to sugar-free yoghurts as a healthy snack, so it is pleasing to hear that it may have oral health benefits we were previously【C13】______of."

选项 A、reason
B、cause
C、result
D、origin

答案 B

解析 语义衔接题。此处要填的词意思为“原因”,表示硫化氢是造成口臭的主要原因,选[B]cause“原因”,指直接导致事情发生的原因。第二段的odor-causing有提示作用。[A]reason“理由”强调从逻辑推理上得出的结论性原因,不是直接说明起因。[C]result意为“结果”;[D]origin“源头”侧重指事物的起源或由来。
