问题     The news about vitamins keeps getting worse. Many studies published in the last few years shows that a variety of popular supplements don’t do anything to reduce the risk of developing heart disease, stroke or a variety of cancers.
    But what about multivitamins? These combination pills, which【C1】________10 to 30 vitamins and【C2】________, are the most popular supplements sold in America. A report published recently suggests they shouldn’t be.
    The study【C3】________161,808 participants in the Women’s Health Initiative, a long-term effort to【C4】________risk factors for cancer, heart disease and bone health in elderly women.【C5】________in the nationwide study included white, black, Asian and Native American women. They were followed for an average of nearly eight years.【C6】________, 41.5% of study participants took some version of a multivitamin. Those women were more likely to be white and college-educated, live in the West, exercise and have a lower body mass index.
    However, women who took multivitamins weren’t any more likely to【C7】________a diagnosis of breast, lung, stomach, and other cancers than were women who didn’t take multivitamins. Nor were multivitamins in general helpful in【C8】________heart attacks, strokes or reducing the risk of death from any【C9】________during the study period. The research team did find one【C10】________benefit: The 3,741 women who took stress multivitamins—formulations【C11】________higher doses of several B vitamins along with an extra amount of vitamin C—were 25% less likely to have a heart attack. No other correlations between vitamins and health outcomes were statistically【C12】________.
    The study provides【C13】________evidence that multivitamin use has little or no【C14】________on the risk of common cancers, heart disease or total mortality in elderly women.【C15】________, researchers wondered, "Why do millions of Americans use a daily multivitamin for【C16】________disease prevention when the supporting scientific data are weak?" Some physicians continue to【C17】________them for patients whose diets may have nutritional【C18】________. And since they don’t require a prescription, many people simply【C19】________they are safe. But those assumptions may not be【C20】________, especially if people wind up overdosing on vitamins and minerals, the researchers wrote.
【C7】
选项 A、live through
B、give away
C、hold back
D、ward off
答案D
解析 文章首段指出维生素和很多营养补充剂都不能减少患上心脏病、癌症的风险，可见它不具备预防这些疾病的功能。D项ward off“避免，抵挡”代入后表示服用复合维生素的女性“并没有较少地被诊断出”各项癌症，满足语义要求确。A项live through“经历过，度过”、B项give away“泄露，失去”、C项hold back“控制，隐瞒”与复合维生素是否具有“预防作用”的语义无关，不能满足语义要求。
