Men who exercise often are less likely to die from cancer than those who 1 , new research published in the British Journal of Cancer revealed yesterday.
A team of scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden looked 2 the effect of physical activity and cancer risk in 40,708 men __ 3 _ between 45 and 79.
The seven-year study found that men 4 walked or cycled for at least 30 minutes a day had a 34 per cent lower risk of 5 from cancer than the men who did less exercise or nothing at all. 6 the period studied~, 3,714 men developed cancer and 1,153 died from the disease. The researchers suggest that half an hours walking__ 7__cycling a day increased survival among these men by 33 per cent.
The researchers surveyed men from two counties in central Sweden about their lifestyle and the amount of 8 activity they were usually doing. They then scored these responses and compared the results__ 9 _data on cancer diagnosis and death officially recorded in a central cancer registry2over a seven-year period.
Lead author, Professor Alicja Wolk, said: These results clearly show for the first time the effect that very simple and basic daily 10 such as walking or cycling has in reducing cancer death risk in middle-aged and elderly 11
Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: This study gives us a clear indication that men who exercise are less 12 to die from cancer, and that they are more likely to 13__the disease if they get it. Its not entirely clear from this study
what role exercise plays in preventing 14 in men, but we do know that a healthy lifestyle can prevent up to half of all cancers3-and 15 exercise forms a key part of this.

答案与题解:
1.A本句前面提到men who exercise omen,与他们相比较的显然应当是不经常锻炼的男人们,即men who dont。
2.C look at表示观察、研究。
3.B between 45 and 79显然指的是这些男人的年龄,因此应选aged。
4.B修饰前面的men一词,因此应选限制性关系代词who。
5.C根据上下文可以得知,经常锻炼的男人死于癌症的危险要小。
6.A此处显然应选表示在期问之意的during一词。
7.C本段的第一句出现了walked or cycled,因此此处应选or一词。
8.B短文的第二段曾出现过physical activity,因此此处应选physical一词。
9.D将一件事与另一件事进行比较,应是comparewith。
10.A根据上下文意即本句接下来给出的such as walking or cycling,不难推断此处应选exercise一词。
11.B短文的题目以及之前一直都在谈论男人运动与否与癌症的关系,此处显然应选men。
12.C前面多次提到,坚持经常性运动的男人死于癌症的可能性要小,possible和likely在汉语里都可译作可能的,但在英语中意思区别很大,前者侧重于存在的客观趋势,后者侧重于对存在的预期,因而可以说It is possible for them to do,而不说they are possible to do,所以应选likely。
13.D既然坚持经常性运动的男人死于癌症的可能性要小,那么不难推断这种男人即使得了癌症,存活下来的可能性也应更大些。
14.B短文全篇都在谈论男人运动与患癌症的关系,此外,接下来又出现了prevent up to half of all cancers,因此此处应选cancer。
15.C前面提到每天运动带给男人的好处,因此此处应选regular,表示经常性的
