一、完形填空解题方法回顾

1. 判断四个选项，确定解题方法。

A．选项是介词或空格前后有介词，查找是否能组成介词短语。

B．选项是关系词，判断空格前单词词性及是否缺成分，然后确定使用的关系词。一般来说，名词代词是定语从句，动词介词是宾语从句，逗号隔开就是状语从句。

C. 选项是其他单词，如动词、名词、副词等，通过辨析词义来确定答案。

2. 查找四个选项，优先看能否组成短语，再根据词义或从句知识进行解题。

3. 分析空格前后意思和逻辑关系，对比分析出答案。

二、文章背景分析

本文讲的是：Free Statins with Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk ，快餐加免费降胆固醇药物可以降低罹患心脏病的风险

1. 新研究表明快餐店可免费提供降胆固醇药物以降心脏病风险。

2. 服用一粒降胆固醇药物降低的风险与快餐增加的风险在程度上大致一样。

3. 既然不健康的调味包可免费提供，那使降低心脏病发作的降胆固醇药物容易得到也是合理的。

Free Statins with Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk

Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of charge so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London suggest in a new study.

Statins reduce the amount of unhealthy "LDL" cholesterol in the blood. A wealth of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person's heart attack risk.

In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology, Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is enough to offset the increase in heart attack risk from eating a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake.

Dr Francis, from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London, who is the senior author of the study, said:"Statins don't cut out all of the unhealthy effects of cheeseburgers and French fries. It's better to avoid fatty food altogether. But we‘ve worked out that in terms of your possibility of having a heart attack, taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same degree as a fast food meal increases it.”

“It’s ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthy condiments in fast food outlets as they like, but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are provided free of charge. It would cost less than 5 pence per customer--- not much different to a sachet of sugar," Dr Francis said.

When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking, they‘re encouraged to take measures that lower their risk, like wearing a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of lowering some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.

快餐加免费降胆固醇药物可以降低罹患心脏病的风险

伦敦帝国理工学院的研究者们在一项新研究中建议， 快餐经销店可免费提供降胆固醇药物，这样顾客可降低油腻食物中的心脏病风险。

降胆固醇药物能减少不健康的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇在血液中的含量。大量的试验数据已经证明降胆固醇药能高效降低人们患心脏病的风险。

在《美国心脏病学杂志》发表的一篇论文里, Darrel Francis博士和他的同事们计算出一粒降胆固药降低的罹患心脏病的风险, 足以抵消食用汉堡和饮用奶昔所提高的风险。

Francis博士来自帝国理工学院的国家心肺学院, 是本次研究的资深发起人，说到：“降胆固醇药物不能去掉汉堡和炸土豆条带来的所有不健康影响，总而言之最好避免所有油腻食物。”但是我们看出就患心脏病的可能性而言，服用一粒降胆固醇药物降低的风险与快餐增加的风险在程度上大致一样。”

“讽刺的是在快餐店里人们可免费拿取想要数量的不健康调味包, 但是对心脏健康有利的降胆固醇药物却需要开处方。 既然不健康的调味包可免费提供，那么使降低心脏病发作的降胆固醇药物容易得到也是合理的。在每个顾客身上花不了5便士，与一小袋糖没什么不同，” Francis博士说道。

当人们从事诸如驾驶和吸烟等危险行为时，要鼓励他们采取措施降低风险，像系安全带或选择有滤嘴的香烟。服用降胆固醇药物是降低食用油腻食物引发心脏病风险的理性做法。
