考题共用题干 Facts about Stroke1 Every 45 seconds,someone in America has a stroke.Every 3. 1 minutes,someonedies of one.Stroke killed an estimated 167,661 people in 2000 and is the nation's thirdleading cause of death,ranking behind diseases of the heart and all forms of cancer. Stroke is a leading cause of serious,long-term disability in the United States.2 Stroke is a type of cardiovascular（心血管的）disease. It affects the arteries（动脉）leading to and within the brain.A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygenand nutrients（营养物）to the brain is either blocked by a clot（凝块）or bursts. Whenthat happens,part of the brain cannot get the blood(and oxygen)it needs,so it startsto die.3 The brain is an extremely complex organ that controls various body functions.If a strokeoccurs and blood flow can't reach the region that controls a particular body function,thatpart of the body won't work as it should,If the stroke occurs toward the back of the brain,for instance,It's likely to result in some disablity involving vision.The effects of a strokedepend primarily on the location of the obstruction（阻塞）and the extent of brain tissueaffected.4 The American Stroke Association has identified several factors that increase the risk ofstroke.The more risk factors a person has,the greater the chance that he or she will havea stroke.Some of these you can't control,such as increasing age,family health history, race,and prior stroke.But you can change or treat other risk factors to lower your risk.Factors resulting from lifestyle or environment can be modified with a healthcare provider's help.Some of these include:high blood pressure,current smoking,heart disease,andhigh red blood cell count.5 A stroke can happen to anyone at any moment.In fact about 600,000 people havestrokes every year. For many years,there was no hope for those suffering a stroke.However,recent breakthroughs have led to new treatments.For the treatments to work,the person must get to a hospital immediately. When a stroke occurs,the arteries leading to and within the brain______.A:suffer from a strokeB:will be affectedC:change their lifestylesD:will take placeE:occurs at the back of his/her brainF:controls various body functions

Every 45 seconds,someone in America has a stroke.Every 3.1 minutes,someone dies of one.Stroke killed an estimated 167,661 people in 2000 and is the nation's third leading cause of death,ranking behind diseases of the heart and all forms of cancer. Stroke is a leading cause of Serious,long-term disability in the United States.2. Stroke is a type of cardiovascular（心血管的）disease. It affects the arteries（动脉）leading to and within the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients（营养物）to the brain is either blocked by a clot（凝块）or bursts. When that happens,part of the brain cannot get the blood(and oxygen)it needs,so it starts to die.3. The brain is an extremely complex organ that controls various body functions. If a stroke occurs and blood flow can't reach the region that controls a particular body function,that part of the body won't work as it should. If the stroke occurs toward the back of the brain,for instance,it's likely that some disability involving vision will result. The effects of a stroke depend primarily on the location of the obstruction（阻塞）and the extent of brain tissue affected.4. The American Stroke Association has identified several factors that increase the risk of stroke.The more risk factors a person has,the greater the chance that he or she will have a stroke.Some of these you can't control,such as increasing age,family health history,race,and prior stroke. But you can change or treat other risk factors to lower your risk.Factors resulting from lifestyle or environment can be modified with a healthcare provider's help.Some of these include:high blood pressure,current smoking,heart disease,and high red blood cell count.5. A stroke can happen to anyone at any moment. In fact about 600,000 people have strokes every year. For many years,there was no hope for those suffering a stroke. However,recent breakthroughs have led to new treatments.For the treatments to work,the person must get to a hospital immediately. Paragraph 4_________A: Effects of a strokeB: Annual cost of stroke in the USC: Definition and description of a strokeD: Breakthroughs in treatmentE: Risk factors of strokeF: Warning signs of a stroke

考题共用题干 New U. S. Plan for Disease PreventionUrging Americans to take responsibility for their health,Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a$15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease,cancer and diabetes（糖尿病）.The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases—the leading causes of death in the United States—and outlines ways that people can prevent them,including better diet and in-creased exercise.“In the United States today,7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness,disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases,”the Health and Human Services Depart-ment said in a statement.The causes are often behavioral—smoking,poor eating habits and a lack of exercise.“I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future,”Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative.“Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating dis-eases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices.”Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $351 billion in 2003.“These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable,yet we as a na- tion are not taking the steps necessary for us to lead healthier,longer lives,”he said.The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention,pushing for chan-ges as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes,and prevent cancer and strokes.The money will also go to community organizations,clinics and nutritionists who are being en-couraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening.The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening, including Pap tests（巴氏试验）for cervical cancer（宫颈癌）, mammograms for breast cancer, colonoscopies（结肠镜检查）, and prostate（前列腺的）checks.If such cancers were all caught by early screening,the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent. Early cancer screening can help reduce significantly_________.A: the death rates for all chronic diseasesB: the kinds of cancer attacking peopleC:.the incidence rate for cancerD:.the death rate for cancer

考题共用题干 Deaths Associated with Sugary Soft DrinksSugar-sweetened sodas,sports drinks and fruit drinks may be associated with about 180,000 deaths around the world each year,according to a recent research.Sugar-sweetened beverages are consumed throughout the world,and contribute to excess body weight,which increases the risk of developing diabetes,cardiovascular diseases and some cancers. Using data collected as part of the 2010 Global Burden of Diseases Study,the researchers linked intake of sugar-sweetened beverages to 133,,000 diabetes deaths,44,000 deaths from cardiovascular diseases and 6,000 cancer deaths.Seventy-eight percent of these deaths due to over-consuming sugary drinks were in low and middle-income countries,rather than high-income countries."In the U.S.,our research shows that about 25,000 deaths in 2010 were linked to drinking sugar-sweetened beverages,"said Mr. Singh,a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.Of nine world regions,Latin America/Caribbean had the most diabetes deaths(38,000)related to the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages in 2010.Japan,one of the countries with lowest per-capita consumption of sugary beverages in the world,had the lowest death rate associated with the consumption of sugary beverages,at about 10 deaths due to per million adults."Because we were focused on deaths due to chronic diseases,our study focused on adults.Future research should assess the amount of sugary beverage consumption in children across the world and how this affects their current and future health,"Singh said.The American Heart Association recommends adults consume no more than 450 calories per week,from sugar-sweetened beverages,based on a 2,000 calorie diet and offers tips to help you make better lifestyle choices and eat healthier.The study focused on the entire population.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned
