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當是“不經常鍛煉的男人們”,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,因此應選aged。
4.B修飾前面的men一詞,因此應選限制性關系代詞who。
5.C根據上下文可以得知,經常鍛煉的男人“死”于癌癥的危險要小。
6.A此處顯然應選表示“在……期問”之意的during一詞。
7.C本段的第一句出現了walked or cycled,因此此處應選or一詞。
8.B短文的第二段曾出現過physical activity,因此此處應選physical一詞。
9.D將一件事與另一件事進行比較,應是compare…with…。
10.A根據上下文意即本句接下來給出的such as walking or cycling,不難推斷此處應選exercise一詞。
11.B短文的題目以及之前一直都在談論男人運動與否與癌癥的關系,此處顯然應選men。
12.C前面多次提到,堅持經常性運動的男人死于癌癥的可能性要小,possible和likely在漢語里都可譯作“可能的”,但在英語中意思區別很大,前者側重于“存在”的客觀趨勢,后者側重于對“存在”的預期,因而可以說It is possible for them to do,而不說they are possible to do,所以應選likely。
13.D既然堅持經常性運動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,存活下來的可能性也應更大些。
14.B短文全篇都在談論男人運動與患癌癥的關系,此外,接下來又出現了prevent up to half of all cancers,因此此處應選cancer。
15.C前面提到每天運動帶給男人的好處,因此此處應選regular,表示“經常性的”
