问题     As if they needed any more excuse, new research suggests men need their sleep if they’re to live a long life. Women, on the other hand, can live long lives【C1】________poor sleep habits as long as they eat a diverse diet that includes vitamin B6 and plenty of vegetables. Vitamin B6 can be found in food such as meat, bananas and nuts.【C2】________other things, it allows the body to use and【C3】________energy from protein and carbohydrates.
    The findings come from a study led by Professor Mark Wahlqyist from Monash University which looked at how diet【C4】________sleep quality and mortality among elderly men and women. Professor Wahlqvist said sleep played a more【C5】________role in men’s mortality than women’s. "Poor sleep has been associated with increased disease rate and mortality.

    Participants in the study who did not sleep well were also less able to chew, had poor appetites, and did less physical activity. "These characteristics could lead to lower overall dietary quality and food and nutrition intake, especially for vegetables, protein-rich foods, and vitamin B6.

【C8】

选项 A、stable
B、uncertain
C、significant
D、fragile

答案C

解析 下文提到睡眠不好的女性从食物中摄取的维生素B6比较低,说明睡眠质量与饮食有很大的联系。C项significant意为“重要的”。符合此处的语境。A项stable“稳定的”,睡眠质量和饮食之间的关系用稳定来形容过于笼统,不能对应上下文中睡眠的重要作用。B项uncertain“不确定的”,睡眠不好的女性从食物中摄取的维生素B6比较低,说明睡眠和饮食之间的关系是确定的。D项fragile“脆弱的”,脆弱的关系指的是一种经不住打击、承受力小的关系,不符合此处的语境。
