Enjoying an iced coffee? Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards, with a cancer charity warning that some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner.
    The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) conducted a survey of iced coffees sold by some popular chains in Britain including Starbucks, Caffe Nero and Costa Coffee to gauge the calories as studies increasingly link obesity with cancer.
    The worst offender — a coffee from Starbucks — had 561 calories. Other iced coffees contained more than 450 calories and the majority had in excess of 200.
    Health experts advise that the average woman should consume about 2,000 calories a day and a man about 2,500 calories to maintain a healthy weight. Dieters aim for 1,000 to 1,500 calories a day.
     “The fact that there is an iced coffee on the market with over a quarter of a woman’s daily calories allowance is alarming,” Dr. Rachel Thompson, science program manager at London-based WCRF, said in a widely-reported statement.
     “This is the amount of calories you might expect to have in an evening meal, not in a drink.”
    The WCRF has estimated that 19,000 cancers a year in Britain could be prevented if people lost their excess weight, with growing evidence that excess body fat increases the risk of various cancers.
     “If you are having these types of coffee regularly, then they will increase the chances of you becoming overweight, which in turn increases your risk of developing cancer, as well as other diseases such as heart disease,” she added.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What warning did some health experts give?

B、Take a hot shower.
C、Exercise at the gym.
D、Eat a hot dinner.

答案 C

解析 选项均以原形动词开头及其中的fresh fruit和gym表明,本题可能考查与如何保持健康有关的建议。短文中提到,Enjoying an iced coffee?Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards,即作者建议享受冰咖啡之后最好不吃正餐或做些运动,故答案为C)。短文开头一般会点明主题或摆明作者的观点,故为常考点,听音时应加以留意。C)Exercise at the gym.是对短文中hit the gym的同义转述。
