Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19. Talk show host-Today we have good news for all our coffee drinkers around the world. A new study finds that drinking coffee can help you live longer. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health recently discovered that [16] drinking between three and five cups of coffee a day may prevent certain illnesses. They found that coffee can protect against heart disease, brain diseases and suicide. Walter Willett is a nutrition researcher at Harvard and co-author of the study. Professor Willet, thank you for joining us. Professor Willet:
Good morning. The findings of our study extend to both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, or decaf, as Americans often call it.
The health benefits come not just from the caffeine in coffee, but from the compounds in the beans. [17] Our study was large, of about 200.000 subjects included data from three ongoing studies. Subjects in the study had to answer questions about their coffee drinking habits every four years over a 30-year period.
We found that moderate coffee drinking was linked with a reduced risk of death from many diseases. However, we found no link between coffee drinking and cancer.
We also considered other habits such as smoking, obesity, and how active the subjects were. We also looked at what kinds of food the subjects ate, as well as how much alcohol—and what type of alcohol—they drank.
Our research adds to a growing body of evidence. This body of evidence finds drinking a moderate of coffee may have many health benefits, including a longer life. This is according to one of the researchers involved in the study.
[18] Frank Hu is senior author of the study. He is also a professor of nutrition and epidemiology-He studies how food affects illness.
Hu adds that data from the study support that drinking a moderate amount of coffee can be part of a healthy diet. But how much and when you drink coffee is important Nevertheless, our study also received doubts and criticism.
[19] Andrew Maynard of Arizona State University claims that the health benefits documented in this new study are "small." Maynard says the study does not prove cause and effect between drinking coffee and living longer. He says the study does point to an association, or link, between drinking coffee and living longer.
Honestly speaking, I am personally not sure how coffee is linked to certain health benefits.
So what I can give you as the take-home message—in other words, the important thing to learn— is that if you like coffee, do not feel guilty about drinking it in moderation. If you don’t like coffee, don’t feel you have to start drinking it to be healthy. Thank you very much.
16. What do the researchers find about coffee?
17. What do we learn about the study?
18. What do we learn about Frank Hu?
19. What criticism does the study receive?
选项
A、It only documented trivial benefits of drinking coffee.
B、It is not convincing in proving the benefits of coffee.
C、It does not link drinking coffee with living longer.
D、It misleads people into drinking coffee to be healthy.
答案
A
解析
选项均为It开头的陈述句,由only、not convincing、mislead等词推断问题与某事物的负面影响或对某事物的批判相关。根据录音,Andrew Maynard认为研究中记录的健康益处“微不足道”,A项中的trivial是对原词small的同义转换,故选A项。批评者指出该研究没有证明喝咖啡和长寿的因果关系,但并非指其在证明咖啡益处方面没有说服力,B项错误。批评者指出该研究的确表明了喝咖啡和长寿有所关联,C项与原文相反。演讲者是该研究的作者之一,他建议如果你不喜欢咖啡,不要觉得你需要喝咖啡来保持健康,由此可见,研究并未误导人们为健康而喝咖啡,D项错误。
