问题     If you’re one of those people who tends to put on weight around your middle, what doctors call an "apple shape"—what the rest of us call a beer belly—you’ve probably been told that you’re at higher risk of heart disease. But one large new review study suggests you shouldn’t be too【C1】________after all.
    It turns out that the apple-shaped among us are not at any higher risk of heart trouble as people with pear shapes or any other kind of fat【C2】________. In the latest study, researchers at the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration in the UK reviewed records of more than 220000 participants in 58 different trials that followed【C3】________for more than 10 years for heart-related events. They found that body shape, or fat distribution, did not seem to affect heart disease risk.
    In fact, the researchers write in the journal Lancet, various measures of obesity, including body mass index (or BMI, a combined measure of height and weight), waist circumference (周长) and waist-to-hip ratio, all had about the same【C4】________value in identifying increased risk of a heart attack. What’s more, 【C5】________to the forecasting power of known risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and a history of diabetes, the obesity measures added very little to the【C6】________of risk assessment.
    Previous studies had focused not just on overweight, but on the type and【C7】________of fat deposits as a red flag for heart disease. The thinking was that even without blood tests for cholesterol or blood pressure, body shape alone could alert doctors and patients to the fact that patients might be at higher risk of heart problems. One headline-grabbing survey reported a three-fold【C8】________risk in heart disease among those with abdominal fat—folks with apple-shaped bodies—and speculated that visceral (内脏的) fat, which tends to【C9】________around the middle, is particularly hazardous for the heart, since it nestles deep within organs and can pump out hormones that【C10】________insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity and promote diabetes.
    A) accumulate   F) decreased       K) elevating
    B) accuracy     G) discouraged     L) increased
    C) alter        H) distinguished   M) location
    D) compared     I) distribution    N) predictive
    E) conflicted   J) diversion       O) volunteers
【C2】
选项
答案I
解析 名词辨析题。根据句子结构，“of fat________”应作kind的后置定语，因此空格处应填入一个名词。本句比较了苹果形状身材的人和其他体形的人患心脏病的风险，指出苹果形状身材的人息心脏病的概率并不比具有梨形身材的人或具有其他脂肪________类型的人要高。所谓苹果形状身材或梨形身材都是指脂肪分布的类型，故I项distribution“分布”符合题意。
