GWD9-16

[CUGGYER]

GWD-9-Q16:
A diet high in saturated fats increases a person’s risk of developing heart disease. Regular consumption of red wine reduces that risk. Per-capita consumption of saturated fats is currently about the same in France as in the United States, but there is less heart disease there than in the United States because consumption of red wine is higher in France. The difference in regular red-wine consumption has been narrowing, but no similar convergence in heart-disease rates has occurred.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to account for the lack of convergence noted above?

A. Consumption of saturated fats is related more strongly to the growth of fatty deposits on artery walls, which reduce blood flow to the heart, than it is to heart disease directly.
B. Over the past 30 years, per-capita consumption of saturated fats has remained essentially unchanged in the United States but has increased somewhat in France.
C. Reports of the health benefits of red wine have led many people in the United States to drink red wine regularly.
D. Cigarette smoking, which can also contribute to heart disease, is only slightly more common in France than in the United States.
E. Regular consumption of red wine is declining dramatically among young adults in France, and heart disease typically does not manifest itself until middle age.


答案是E


他問題是問如何解釋美法之間心臟疾病與高脂肪食物攝取差異的原因嗎?

><題目沒看懂 選項答案已不太明瞭

[zuckzhc]

題目大概是說幾件事
1.吃肥滋滋的食物增加一個人得到心臟病的風險,而多喝紅酒可以降低這個風險
2. 老美和老法美單位攝取的脂肪差不多,但是老法得心臟病的人比老美少,因為老法喝紅酒比老美多
3.最近兩國紅酒消費量的差距已經減少,但是卻沒看到心臟病發生的差距也跟著縮小
問題問,下列選項何者能解釋文章

這題我的做法是這樣,文章的推論是"紅酒消費量的差距的減少,應該心臟病發生的差距也跟著縮小“ ,所以選項中要能夠告訴你"紅酒消費量的差距的減少,並不表示心臟病發生的差距也跟著縮小"

答案E, 法國年輕人喝紅酒的人數大幅下降,而心臟病大部分是中年後才會發作
法國年輕人喝紅酒的人數大幅下降->法國整體喝紅酒的人減少->和美國喝紅酒的人數差距縮小
心臟病大部分是中年後才會發作->年輕人尚未發病->所以心臟病發作的情形尚未顯現->心臟病發作的比率仍是和以前一樣

這個答案可以幫助我們解釋前面說的"紅酒消費量的差距的減少,並不表示心臟病發生的差距也跟著縮小"

以上是我的看法,請多指教

明顯的是 A(好像只是在陳述病狀)和D(cigarette somking)都蠻明顯可以除掉
而選E的話,已經有高手指點
蠻好理解的
我自己選成B說
是不是因為根本與red win沾不上邊
所以較無法幫助加強之前的結論呢
麻煩高手指點指點^^

B. Over the past 30 years, per-capita consumption of saturated fats has remained essentially unchanged in the United States but has increased somewhat in France.
到底增加的程度多少不知道,就算增加到底這樣的增加有多少影響在題目中看不出來
題目講的是紅酒消費量的差異與得心臟病的關係,選項要能解釋這個關係

我是覺得B選項是weaken而不是strengthen
因為若是兩國消費的紅酒數量拉近會有兩種可能
1.美國人喝的酒增加
2.法國人喝的酒減少

C說平均每個美國人comsume saturated fats的數量還是一樣且平均每個法國人comsume fats的數量增加，那麼美國人與法國人間心臟病發作的比例應該要拉近才對，可是卻沒有，因此有weaken的效果。

所以B選項錯～

請問A選項裏的artery walls如何翻呢??
是叫動脈壁嗎??
是說脂肪會堆積在動脈壁上嗎??

您翻譯的一點也沒錯 意思也是這樣
