问题                 Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk
    Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of【C1】______so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London 【C2】______in a new study.
    Statins reduce the【C3】______of unhealthy "LDL" cholesterol in the blood. A wealth of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at【C4】______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【C5】______to offset the increase in heart attack risk from 【C6】______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【C7】______effects of cheeseburgers and French fries. It’s better to avoid fatty food altogether. But we’ve worked out that in terms of your【C8】______of having a heart attack, taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same【C9】______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【C10】______, but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It 【C11】______sense to make risk-reducing stains available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are provided free of charge. It would cost less than 5 pence per【C12】______—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 【C13】______that lower their risk, like【C14】______a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of【C15】______some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.
【C13】
选项 A、measures
B、care
C、advantages
D、turns
答案A
解析 为了降低开车和吸烟的风险，人们被鼓励要采取一些安全措施。作者借此说明为了降低食用快餐的风险，我们也要采取措施。根据这层意思，选择measures是正确的。take measure的意思是“采取措施"。其他三个选项都不合适：take care的意思是“注意，小心”，take advantage的意思是“利用”，take turns的意思是“轮流，依次”。
