Obesity is an epidemic to some and an opportunity to others. More than two-thirds of Americans are overweight. Find a way to battle obesity, 【C1】______a huge profit might be made. On February 22nd, 2013 one pharmaceutical firm, Vivus, took a small【C2】______towards this goal. A committee advising America’ s Food and Drug Administration(FDA)recommended Vivus’ s diet drug, Qnexa.【C3】______, the pill’ s long-awaited final approval may not come until April. The announcement mostly served as a reminder of a struggle which【C4】______fat into gold.
Medical-device and pharmaceutical companies are quite【C5】______treating the problems that come with obesity. However, they can’t help consumers【C6】______weight. Allergan, a device-maker, has tried to use its gastric bands to enter the obesity market. The band is fitted near the top of patients’ stomach, which helps them feel full【C7】______during the meal. Allergan has captured about 70% of the worldwide market for gastric bands, but sales are now【C8】______. The recession has sapped consumers’ desire for expensive surgery. Some patients have【C9】______bands removed because they slipped or proved【C10】______. In January David Pyott, Allergan’s chief executive, said he would cancel an effort to market the band for teenagers. He is now trying to convince insurers of the gastric band’ s【C11】______.
Drug companies have had even more【C12】______than device-makers. It has been 13 years since the FDA approved a【C13】______diet pill. That drug, Roche’s Xenical, has【C14】______side-effects. The FDA rejected Vivus’s Qnexa in 2010 over【C15】______for the safety of pregnant women and the quickening of patients’ heart rates.
However, Vivus’ s new data in 2013 apparently satisfied the FDA’ s advisory committee.
But the agency may yet【C16】______the drug.【C17】______Qnexa is approved, it is unclear that patients will buy it. Qnexa【C18】______two medicines that are already on the market. Both medicines are generic, which means that doctors may【C19】______the existing drugs rather than Qnexa’s more expensive version. For now, it is more【C20】______to treat fat patients than to try to make them slim.
【C1】
选项
A、so
B、or
C、thus
D、and
答案
D
解析
本题考查语法结构。此处的结构是“祈使句+and/then+含有一般将来时态或带有情态动词的陈述句”。这种句型的祈使句表示一种条件或假设.陈述句表示结果。(祈使句部分可用if引导的条件状语从句,此时主句去掉and/then。)所以D.and为正确答案,且句意为“找个办法和肥胖对抗的话,说不定就会大赚一笔”。or的干扰性较大,但是在“祈使句+or+简单句”的结构中,or后的简单句通常是不理想的结果,故排除此项。
