    Details were【C4】______at a meeting of the International Association for Dental Research. A(n)【C5】______of 24 volunteers who participated in the study were given strict instructions【C6】______oral health, diet and medicine taking. They spent two weeks【C7】______yoghurts and similar foods, like cheese. Researchers then【C8】______bacteria levels and odor-causing compounds,【C9】______hydrogen-sulphide. The volunteers then ate 90 grams of yoghurt a day for six weeks. At the end of the study, researchers took【C10】______again. They found hydrogen sulphide levels【C11】______in 80% of participants.

【C19】
选项 A、off
B、back
C、out
D、down
答案D
解析 语义衔接题。既然无糖酸奶对口腔有益，那么吃sugary snacks(含糖零食)的频率(frequency)应该也是要降下来的，选[D]down，cut down“降低，削减，减少”，符合这里的语义要求。cut off意为“停止，切开”；cut back“减少”常指减少开支；cut out意为“切去，放弃，删除”。
