问题     If you have high blood pressure, you’re in good【C1】________. Hypertension affects 67 million Americans, including nearly two-thirds of people over age 60. But it isn’t an inevitable part of the aging【C2】________It’s better to think of it as【C3】________sodium poisoning. And, there’s a way to prevent the problem—and to save many, many lives. A lifetime of【C4】________too much sodium (mostly in the form of table salt) raises blood pressure, and high blood pressure kills and disables people by【C5】________strokes and heart attacks. In the United States, according to best estimates,【C6】________sodium is killing between 40,000 and 90,000 people and running up to $20 billion in medical costs a year.
    Americans on average【C7】________about 3,300 milligrams of sodium per day, but experts recommend less than 2,300 milligrams—and less than 1,500 milligrams for people over age 50, black people, or those who already have hypertension, diabetes or kidney disease, which【C8】________a majority of American adults. Either【C9】________is far below where most Americans are now.
    The reason that nearly everyone eats【C10】________too much sodium is that our food is loaded with it, and often where we don’t【C11】________or expect it. Of course ham and canned soup are full of salt, but so are many foods that are【C12】________: A blueberry cake can have more than double the salt of a serving of potato chips.【C13】________healthy-sounding food can pack【C14】________sodium loads. Many restaurant main courses have far more sodium than is recommended for an【C15】________day.
    Doctors warn people with high blood pressure to go on a low-salt diet, but that’s virtually impossible in today’s world,【C16】________nearly 80 percent of the sodium that Americans eat comes in【C17】________and restaurant food. You can’t take it out. And【C18】________everyone, not just people with hypertension【C19】________over food labels, should be taking in less sodium. The only way to prevent millions of Americans from developing high blood pressure is for companies and restaurants to stop loading up their food with sodium. It’s not easy,【C20】________it isn’t impossible either.
【C18】
选项 A、hardly
B、nearly
C、simply
D、approximately
答案B
解析 本句的主语是everyone，谓语是后面的should be taking in…，句中用了not just与高血压人群作对比，表明即使是非高血压的人也应该减少钠摄入量。B项nearly everyone“几乎所有人”符合逻辑。此外第四段开头也出现了nearly everyone。A项hardly“几乎不”表否定意义，与本句语境相反。把C项simply“仅仅”代入文中表示“仅仅所有人”，不通顺。D项approximately表示“(在数量、质量、情况或性质方面)接近；大约”，不能修饰everyone。
