Exercise Cuts Cancer Deaths in Men
　　Men who exercise often are less likely to die from cancer than those who 1 , new research published in the British Journal of Cancer revealed yesterday.
　　A team of scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden looked 2 the effect of physical activity and cancer risk in 40,708 men __ 3 _ between 45 and 79.
　　The seven-year study found that men 4 walked or cycled for at least 30 minutes a day had a 34 per cent lower risk of 5 from cancer than the men who did less exercise or nothing at all. 6 the period studied~, 3,714 men developed cancer and 1,153 died from the disease. The researchers suggest that half an hour's walking__7__cycling a day increased survival among these men by 33 per cent.
　　The researchers surveyed men from two counties in central Sweden about their lifestyle and the amount of 8 activity they were usually doing. They then scored these responses and compared the results__9 _data on cancer diagnosis and death officially recorded in a central cancer registry2over a seven-year period.
　　Lead author, Professor Alicja Wolk, said: "These results clearly show for the first time the effect that very simple and basic daily 10 such as walking or cycling has in reducing cancer death risk in middle-aged and elderly 11 "
　　Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: "This study gives us a clear indication that men who exercise are less 12 to die from cancer, and that they are more likely to 13__the disease if they get it. It's not entirely clear from this study
　　what role exercise plays in preventing 14 in men, but we do know that a healthy lifestyle can prevent up to half of all cancers3-and 15 exercise forms a key part of this. "

　　答案與題解：
　　1.A本句前面提到men who exercise omen，與他們相比較的顯然應(yīng)當(dāng)是“不經(jīng)常鍛煉的男人們”，即men who don’t。
　　2.C look at表示“觀察、研究”。
　　3.B between 45 and 79顯然指的是這些男人的年齡，因此應(yīng)選aged。
　　4.B修飾前面的men一詞，因此應(yīng)選限制性關(guān)系代詞who。
　　5.C根據(jù)上下文可以得知，經(jīng)常鍛煉的男人“死”于癌癥的危險(xiǎn)要小。
　　6.A此處顯然應(yīng)選表示“在……期問(wèn)”之意的during一詞。
　　7.C本段的第一句出現(xiàn)了walked or cycled，因此此處應(yīng)選or一詞。
　　8.B短文的第二段曾出現(xiàn)過(guò)physical activity，因此此處應(yīng)選physical一詞。
　　9.D將一件事與另一件事進(jìn)行比較，應(yīng)是compare…with…。
　　10.A根據(jù)上下文意即本句接下來(lái)給出的such as walking or cycling，不難推斷此處應(yīng)選
　　exercise一詞。
　　11.B短文的題目以及之前一直都在談?wù)撃腥诉\(yùn)動(dòng)與否與癌癥的關(guān)系，此處顯然應(yīng)選men。
　　12.C前面多次提到，堅(jiān)持經(jīng)常性運(yùn)動(dòng)的男人死于癌癥的可能性要小，possible和likely在漢語(yǔ)里都可譯作“可能的”，但在英語(yǔ)中意思區(qū)別很大，前者側(cè)重于“存在”的客觀趨勢(shì)，后者側(cè)
　　重于對(duì)“存在”的預(yù)期，因而可以說(shuō)It is possible for them to do，而不說(shuō)they are possible to do，所以應(yīng)選likely。
　　13.D既然堅(jiān)持經(jīng)常性運(yùn)動(dòng)的男人死于癌癥的可能性要小，那么不難推斷這種男人即使得了
　　癌癥，存活下來(lái)的可能性也應(yīng)更大些。
　　14.B短文全篇都在談?wù)撃腥诉\(yùn)動(dòng)與患癌癥的關(guān)系，此外，接下來(lái)又出現(xiàn)了prevent up to half
　　of all cancers，因此此處應(yīng)選cancer。
　　15.C前面提到每天運(yùn)動(dòng)帶給男人的好處，因此此處應(yīng)選regular，表示“經(jīng)常性的”
