词汇:
fumen.烟,气,汽fryv.油炸,油煎
tumor(=tumour)n.肿瘤unventilatedvt.使不通风
cancern.癌瘤adjacentadj.临近的
breast/brest/n.****,胸dietaryadj饮食的
incidencen.发生(率)immuneadj免疫的
diagnosisn.诊断honoraryadj.名誉上的;荣誉的
inhalev.吸人respiratoryadj.呼吸的
irritatevt.使疼痛,刺激stalln.货摊
注释:
plain原意是“抱怨,诉苦”,但医学上常用complainabout或complainof表示“主诉"。
2.aajacentto:
与……相毗邻,临近……(地方)
3.OtherexpertsagreedwithHe.其他专家同意何医生的意见。
agreewithsb:
同意某人的意见。
agreewithsth:
同意什么东西。
agreetodosth:
同意做什么事情。
4.byfarthebiggestcause:
最最大的原因。
byfar是用来做形容词最高级thebiggest的状语,对形容词最高级起强调作用。
本来形容词最高级就已经是最高了,可是说话的人还要对它再强调出来,所以就相当汉语的“最最……"的意思。
5.…warnedpeoplenottostandnearofstallsselling…:
警告人们不要站在卖……的货摊附近。
也可以说成“...warnedpeopleoffstallsselling.…”。
6.…ifexposedtothefumeforalongtime...…·如果长时间接触这种烟的话。
exposesb.tosth.原意是“使……(人)暴露于……(物)”,但医学文献中常常用来表达“接触到……(物)”的意思。
此处if引导的条件状语从句相当于“ifoneisexposedtothefumeforalongtime”。

5.Whichofthefollowinghasrelativelylittleconnectionwithwomen’slungcancer?

CWeakimmunesystems.DPersonalhealthandphysicalcondition.
答案与题解:
1.D文章第二段明确提到,肺癌的新趋势就是“病人更年轻,尤其是妇女”。
2.B文章第三段说到,“肺癌排在乳腺癌之后,发病率第二高”,可见乳腺癌才是最常见的疾病。
3.A文章第七段说到,“60%以上患肺癌的妇女都长期接触厨房油烟并主诉眼睛和喉咙疼痛难受”。
4.B文章倒数第七段明确说到,“当妇女们知道厨房油烟可以致癌时都很惊讶"。
5.D回答此题时,首先要注意倒数第五段中的两处文字,即hadfewlinksto…和wascloselyrelatedto…,其中linkto意为connectionwith,而relateto则意为connectwith,都是“联系”的意思,只是few和closely的差别却很大。
few和little一样,都是具有否定意义的词,意为“很少,几乎没有",只是后面的名词分别为可数名词和不可数名词而已;它们与afew和alittle不同,afew和alittle具有肯定意义,意为“有几个”和“有一点”,后面的名词同样分别为可数名词和不可数名词。
如果这一点明白了,也就很容易回答这道题了
