Going hungry is a major contributor to ill health, particularly among children, and a new report reveals how long-lasting the damage can be.
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the University of Calgary performed the first longterm study on the【C1】________of hunger on general health,【C2】________ children from birth to 21 years. Most studies to date have【C3】________only snapshots of childhood health,【C4】________ the short-term impact of hunger【C5】________a period of time.
In the new analysis, the scientists found that children who went hungry at least once in their lives were 2
1/2
-times more likely to have【C6】________overall health 10 to 15 years later, compared with those who never had to【C7】________food. "Our research shows that hunger and food insecurity are really damaging【C8】________children’s life chances," says lead author Sharon Kirkpatrick, a visiting fellow at NCI.
The study supports earlier findings that【C9】________ episodes of hunger are more likely to cause ill health than an isolated experience of starvation: children in Kirkpatrick’s analysis who experienced two or more periods of hunger were more than four times as likely to report ill health than those who never went hungry. The relationship, she says, remained strong even after the team accounted【C10】________other factors that could influence health, such as age, sex and household characteristics like income.
【C11】________one experience of hunger can have lasting effects on a child’s health, a fact that is especially troubling in light of the sobering rise in U.S. households that were【C12】________to do without food in 2008: 15% of American families reported some【C13】________in the amount or quality of food they consumed,【C14】________from 11% the previous year.
【C15】________this study did not probe into the【C16】________ mechanism by which hunger affects long-term health, Kirkpatrick【C17】________that both psychological and physiological factors may be at work. Aside from the obvious negative impact that massing key nutrients and calories can have on growth and development, she says, the psychological【C18】________of food insecurity—not being able to afford a【C19】________and high-quality source of food—can be【C20】________to youngsters as well.
【C9】
选项
A、small
B、surplus
C、endless
D、multiple
答案
D
解析
空格所在句的than表明其前后成分为对比,than后面为an isolated experience,相对应的episodes of hunger应为多次的状况,并能对应冒号后用于进一步解释本句的two or more periods of hunger。故选D项multiple“多个的”。A项small“小的”代入句中表示小段时间的饥饿,意思不通。B项surplus“过剩的”表达数量超过所需的。此处不符合语境。C项endless“无穷尽的”不用于修饰饥饿的数量。
