问题     As if they needed any more excuse, new research suggests men need their sleep if they’re to live a long life. Women, on the other hand, can live long lives【C1】________poor sleep habits as long as they eat a diverse diet that includes vitamin B6 and plenty of vegetables. Vitamin B6 can be found in food such as meat, bananas and nuts.【C2】________other things, it allows the body to use and【C3】________energy from protein and carbohydrates.
    The findings come from a study led by Professor Mark Wahlqyist from Monash University which looked at how diet【C4】________sleep quality and mortality among elderly men and women. Professor Wahlqvist said sleep played a more【C5】________role in men’s mortality than women’s. "Poor sleep has been associated with increased disease rate and mortality.

    But the researchers also found a【C8】________relationship between a diverse diet and sleep,【C9】________in women. "For women, good sleep only ensures a survival advantage【C10】________they had a diverse diet," said Professor Walhqvist. The study found women were almost twice as likely as men to sleep【C11】________.

    Participants in the study who did not sleep well were also less able to chew, had poor appetites, and did less physical activity. "These characteristics could lead to lower overall dietary quality and food and nutrition intake, especially for vegetables, protein-rich foods, and vitamin B6.

【C7】

选项 A、correlated with
B、confronted with
C、concerned about
D、motivated by

答案A

解析 上句提到睡眠质量差一直以来都与增高的发病率和死亡率有关(associated with increased disease rate and mortality),说明睡眠与健康密切相关。本句语义与之对应,因此空格词语义应和associated with相近,故选A项correlated with“和……相关”。B项confronted with“面临”,不适合当poor sleep的谓语。C项concerned about“关心”,主语通常是人,但此处主语是poor sleep。D项motivated by“受……激发”,没有语义线索表明睡眠不好是受胃口差及自觉健康状况不佳激发。
