问题     Sugarless yoghurt (酸奶) could help beat bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease, say scientists. Japanese researchers found eating the yoghurt【62】levels of hydrogen sulphide (硫化氢) -- a major【63】of bad breath -- in 80% of volunteers. The【64】are active bacteria in yoghurt.
    Details were【65】at a meeting of the International Association for Dental Research. A(n)【66】of 24 volunteers who participated in the study were given strict instructions【67】oral health, diet and medicine taking. They spent two weeks【68】yoghurts and similar foods, like cheese. Researchers then【69】bacteria levels and odor-causing compounds,【70】hydrogen-sulphide. The volunteers then ate 90 grams of yoghurt a day for six weeks. At the end of the study, researchers took【71】again. They found hydrogen sulphide levels【72】in 80% of participants.
    Dr. Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said, "The foundation has long been【73】people’s attention to sugar-free yoghurts as a healthy snack, so it is pleasing to hear that it may have oral health benefits we were previously【74】of."
    "Although this research is still in the early stages there is no【75】that sugar-free yoghurts provide a much healthier【76】to sweets and chocolate, and we would encourage snackers to【77】them into their diet."
【78】, Dr. Carter stressed that the best way to beat bad breath was by【79】a good oral health routine. This involves brushing twice-a-day with fluoride (氟化物) toothpaste, cutting【80】on the frequency of sugary snacks and drinks and visiting a dentist【81】.

选项 A、increased
B、required
C、averaged
D、reduced

答案D

解析 语义衔接题。本段第一句是本段的主题句,已经说明酸奶有助于防止口臭。解答本题要在63题之后。由63题可知,硫化氢是造成口臭的主要原因。可以判断,酸奶应该是能减少硫化氢的,选D reduced“减少,降低”。
