1、下面的短文后列出了10个句子,请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断:如果该句提供的是正确信息,选择A;如果该句提供的是错误信息,选择B;如果该句的信息文中没有提及,选择C。 Men's Health If you're a male and you 're reading this, congratulations: you're a survivor. According to statistics, you’ re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman and more than nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you'll die on average five years before a woman. There’re many reasons for this--typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke-but perhaps more importantly, men don't go to the doctor. " Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should. "says Dr. Gullotta. “This is particularly so for those over 40, when diseases tend to strike. " Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year. When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer, he says. "Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged(延长)his life.” According to a recent survey, 95%o of women aged between 15 and early 40 see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group. “A lot of men think they’re invincible(不可战胜的)， Gullotta says. They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think 'Geez, if it could happen to him…’ ” Then there’s the ostrich approach. "Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, "says Dr. Ross Cartmill. “Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies," Cartmill says.' He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. Regular check-ups for men would inevitable place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says. "But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost far greater; it's called premature death. 问：Men are more likely to die of cancers and AIDS than women. 单选题 1分

"Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not your life habits, determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it. How can obese（肥胖的) )people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous Jules Hirsch, a research physician at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people They were given liquid formula providing 600 calories a day. After more than 10 weeks, the subjects lost 45kg on average. But after leaving the hospital, they all regained weight The results were surprising: by metabolic(新陈代谢的)measurement, fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They dreamed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed; some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesn't result in normal weight, but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese people. Thin people, however, suffer from the opposite: they have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Sims, of the University of Vermont, got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months, they ate as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 per- cent. But months after the study ended they were back to normal weight and stayed there. This does not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight. It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight. The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true-each person has a comfortable weight range. The range might be as much as 9kg. Someone might weigh 60 --69kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks. 问：What determines your weight according to Paragraph 1?（ ） 单选题 2分

"Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not your life habits, determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it. How can obese（肥胖的) )people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous Jules Hirsch, a research physician at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people They were given liquid formula providing 600 calories a day. After more than 10 weeks, the subjects lost 45kg on average. But after leaving the hospital, they all regained weight The results were surprising: by metabolic(新陈代谢的)measurement, fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They dreamed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed; some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesn't result in normal weight, but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese people. Thin people, however, suffer from the opposite: they have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Sims, of the University of Vermont, got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months, they ate as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 per- cent. But months after the study ended they were back to normal weight and stayed there. This does not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight. It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight. The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true-each person has a comfortable weight range. The range might be as much as 9kg. Someone might weigh 60 --69kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks. 问：What did scientists think was true?（ ） 单选题 2分
