答案与题解：
1. D 第一段后半部已经列出了包括有A、B、C三个选项的各种症状（还包括有fast
heartbeat），就是没有D项（高血压）。
2. C 第二段第一句说到more than two million，C项的above与more than同义，其它
各项均是错误的。
3. B 第二段第二句说“女人患惊恐性障碍的可能性比男人高两倍”，也就是B项说
的“是三倍”。这里涉及到英语倍数的理解和表达问题，如果形容词或副词用比较级就应是“比...多出（或高出）...倍”，如果是用同级比较“as…as”则是“是...的...倍”。
4. B 第三段第二句提到“The Chesapeake Bay Bridge in the state of Maryland吓坏开车
的人是出了名的”，其它地方没有提到。应该注意的是，本题所问的是 most likely（“很可能”），并不是the most likely （“最可能”），因此并不涉及四个选项所列场所进行比较的问题。
5. A 第四段中间两句已经罗列了包括B、C、D三项在内的各个病种，但就是没有A
项的“癌症”。
Fruit and vegetables juices as beneficial to health as fruits and veggies1
A European study has revealed that 100 percent fruit and vegetable juices are as effective as their whole fruit/vegetable counterparts in reducing risk factors related to certain

diseases. The conclusion is the result of the study designed to question traditional thinking that 100 percent juices play a less significant role in reducing risk for both cancer and cardiovascular disease than whole fruits and vegetables.
Juices are comparable in their ability to reduce risk compared to2 their whole fruit/vegetable counterparts, according to several researchers in the United Kingdom who conducted the literature review. The researchers analyzed a variety of studies that looked at risk reduction attributed to3 the effects of both fiber and antioxidants. As a result, they determined that the positive impact fruits and vegetables offer come not from just the fiber but also from antioxidants which are present in both juice and the whole fruits and vegetables.4
“When considering cancer and coronary heart disease5 prevention, there is no evidence that pure fruit and vegetable juices are less beneficial than whole fruit and vegetables,” the researchers said. The researchers added that the positioning of juices as being nutritionally inferior to6 whole fruits and vegetables in relationship to chronic disease development is “unjustified” and that policies, which suggest otherwise about fruit and vegetable juices, should be re-examined.
The researchers who authored the paper suggest that more studies in certain area are needed to bolster their findings. “Although this independent review of the literature is not designed to focus on any particular 100 percent juice, it does go a long way7 in demonstrating that fruit and vegetable juices do play an important role in reducing the risk of various diseases, especially cancer and cardiovascular disease,” said Sue Taylor. Her opinion is in agreement with8 the Juice Products Association,9 a non-profit organization not associated with this research. She added that appropriate amounts of juices should be included in the diet of both children and adults, following guidelines established by leading health authorities. Taylor also points to a large epidemiological study, published in the September 2006 issue of the Journal of Medicine, which found that consumption of a variety of 100 percent fruit and vegetable juices was associated with a reduced risk for Alzheimer’s disease.10
In fact, that study found that individuals who drank three or more servings of fruit and vegetable juices per week had a 76 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than those who drank juice less than once per week. The study was published in the International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition11 (2006).

epidemiologic(al) adj. 流行病学的 serving n. 一份饭菜
注释：
1. veggie ( = veggy )：蔬菜( = vegetable )。也可指“素食者”( = vegetarian )。英国的俚语
veg（单复数相同）也指“蔬菜”。
2. compared to：如果与…比较起来的话。这是一个过去分词短语，作条件状语。另外，
美国英语中compare to也有compare with的意思。
3. attributed to：被认为是…的结果。此过去分词短语是risk reduction的定语。attribute
sth. to…：把…归因于…，认为…是…的结果。
4. As a result, they determined that the positive impact fruits and vegetables offer come not
from just the fiber but also from antioxidants which are present in both juice and the whole fruits and vegetables. 由此他们断定，水果和蔬菜所起的积极作用不仅来自纤维，而且也来自抗氧化剂，因为无论水果还是蔬菜，其全果或汁液都含有这两种物质。这里要注意的是在语法结构上，fruits and vegetables offer是positive impact的定语从句，省略了关系代词that。
5. coronary heart disease (CHD)：冠状动脉性心脏病（冠心病)。但要注意，CHD 也可
指先天性心脏病( congenital heart disease )。 6. inferior to：低于…的，次于…的，不如…的
7. it does go a long way：它的确对…有很大帮助。go a long/good way：大有帮助，很有效。
此处does是起强调作用的助动词，接下来的 do play an important role中的 do也是这样。
8. in agreement with：与…一致

答案与题解：
1. D 第二段第二句及第三句说到，降低患病危险性的作用应该归功于果汁和全果均
含有的纤维和抗氧化剂。其它A、B、C三个选项文章均未提及。
2. C 第三段第二句说到，在与慢性病的发生的关系方面，认为果汁不如全果有营养
的观点是“unjustified”（不正当），也就是“不正确”( incorrect )。
3. B 第四段第二句说到，果汁在降低患各种疾病中的确起着重要作用，尤其是癌症
和心血管疾病。这里 in particular正是especially的意思。
4. A 第四段最后一句说到，饮用果汁也与降低患阿尔茨海默病的危险性有关。 5. B 第五段第一句说到，每周喝3-4份果汁的人与每周只喝一次以下的人相比，其
患阿尔茨海默病的危险性下降了76%，76%就是3/4，因此B项是正确答案。A项是高出23%，c项是基本不喝的人的123%，D项是基本不喝的人的176%，均不正确。
第五部分 补全短文

Chest compressions most important of CPR1
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, can save the life of someone whose heart has stopped. The condition is called cardiac arrest.2 The heart stops pumping blood. The person stops breathing. Without lifesaving measures, the brain starts to die within four to six minutes. CPR combines breathing into the victim's mouth and repeated presses on the chest. __________(1)__________
However, a new Japanese study questions the usefulness of mouth-to-mouth breathing. The study was published in the British medical magazine, The Lancet.3 Doctors in Tokyo led the research. It examined more than four thousand people who had suffered cardiac arrest. In all the cases, witnesses saw the event happen.
