问题     (46) Yet, after wrapping a flexible cuff around your arm and pumping it up, your doctor frowns and gives you the bad news:you are one of the roughly 60 million Americans who have high blood pressure. Because it can lurk in the body without your knowing it, high blood pressure has been called the silent killler. (47) (48) Depending on how high your pressure is, how you live and what changes you’re willing to make in your lifestyle, treatment can be tailored specifically to you. (49) The first, or top, number is the systolic reading, the pressure of blood against artery walls when the heart beats—the period of highest tension. The second, or bottom, number is the diastolic—the minimum pressure, between beats, when the heart is filling with blood and artery walls are relaxed. If the diastolic goes over 105 and stays there through several readings, that’s the beginning of the danger zone, moderate hypertension, and continued monitoring is essential. Once the diastolic rises above 115, the condition is severe. A diastolic between 90 and 104 falls into the gray area of "mild" hypertension. (50)

选项
答案D
解析 选项D所在段落的大意是“对于普通的成年人，正常血压为120/80，或者更低。第一个数字(又称顶数)为收缩压，是心脏跳动时，即血管最大伸张期，血液对动脉管壁的压力。第二个数字(或叫底数)为舒张压，即心跳之间的压力，此时心脏充满血液，动脉管壁处于松弛状态。”
