问题 Which one below is true according to the news? [br]  
The prime minister, David Cameron, is urging today’s youngsters to look beyond the traditional French and German lessons to concentrate on the tongue of the future—Mandarin. Cameron said that a partnership between the British Council and Hanban—the Chinese National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language—will double the number of Chinese language assistants in the UK by 2016 and provide increased funding to lower the cost to schools of offering Mandarin as a language option.
"Cirrhosis triggered by obesity threatens to sweep through hospitals across the UK" , said Doctor Jude Oben, a hepatologist. Oben recently launched the charity Obesity Action Campaign to help in the battle against the spread of the condition. In the past, excess alcohol consumption and hepatitis infections have been the main causes of cirrhosis in Britain. Now a third cause— obesity—has triggered a major increase in cases of liver disease in the UK. Liver disease is the fifth largest cause of death in the UK, and in the past 10 years there has been a fivefold increase in cirrhosis for those aged between 35 and 55.

选项 A、Obesity among youth in the UK is increasing rapidly.
B、The Obesity Action Campaign has won popular support.
C、Obesity has resulted in the rapid increase in liver disease in the UK.
D、Liver disease is no longer to be neglected in the UK.

答案 C

解析 新闻中首先指出肥胖所导致的肝硬化(cirrhosis)在英国的普遍性,提到之前肝硬化的主要诱因是过度饮酒和传染性肝炎,而如今第三种诱因“obesity—has triggered a major increase in cases of liver disease in the UK”,由此可知该新闻主要内容是“肥胖导致英国肝脏疾病的快速增加”,即C项内容。
