Question

To get an extra 14 years of life, don’t smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount．That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal．
After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didn’t．
“We’ve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we’ve not seen this benefit before, ”said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain’s Medical Research Council．“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from．”
Study participants（參與者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake．
Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes．But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years．
“We can’t say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said Dr．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization．“The 14 years is an average across the population of what’s theoretically（理論上地）possible．”
“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn’t good for them, ”Susan Jebb said．“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change．”

B．the study observed people as well as tested specific changes．

C．there’s no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits．

D．only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors．

【小題3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits．

B．People aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom．

D．People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they’re good．

D．How to Make Your Life Longer Than Others

Answer 1

【小題1】D【小題1】A【小題1】C【小題1】C

解析【小題1】第一段第一句話已列出健康的生活方式是don’t smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount，與四個選項對比后可得知D項的睡前吸煙不是健康生活方式。所以選D。
【小題1】從第三段第二行的Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain’s Medical Research Council可得知Susan Jebb并非是該研究的發(fā)起者University of Cambridge的一員，所以她并未參與此研究。所以選A。
【小題1】最后一段的最后一句話We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change告訴我們本文是在呼吁社會幫助人們改掉壞習慣，其他三個選項均不全面。所以選C。
【小題1】這一題可以從原文第一段第一句話To get an extra 14 years of life得出選擇C，其次C選項中的may也和文章正在研究中不是非常確定的態(tài)度相吻合。所以選擇C。
