Question

Today, the biggest killers stem as much from our lifestyles as from bacteria and viruses.  One of the worst of these is heart disease, and specifically high blood pressure. It’s a slow, but efficient killer that robs many people of what should be the last 10, 20 or 30 years of their lives.

Scientists are claiming that they have now separated unusual ingredients in a rare seaweed discovered by fishermen off the coast of Korea that offer incredible health benefits—including the ability to restore blood pressure to normal levels.

Dr. Haengwoo Lee, a famous biochemist conducted a clinical study on these two ingredients. The first is Seanol, an extremely rare seaweed extract(濃縮物) from Ecklonia Cava that's proven to be 100 times more powerful than any land-based antioxidant(抗氧化劑). That's because it stays working in your body for 12 hours, compared to land-based antioxidants that work for 30 minutes.  "Its secret is its make-up of special chemicals that are a huge 40% fat soluble( 可溶的)," Dr. Lee explains. "Unlike nearly all land-based antioxidants that are water soluble, Seanol's protective compounds can get into things like the fatty tissues of your brain and penetrate（滲透） all three layers of your cells, including the outside, the oil-based cell membranes（細胞膜）, and your DNA."　Indeed, Seanol is so powerful, it's the only FDA-approved Ecklonia Cava marine-algae (海藻)  extract in existence.

The second ingredient is Calamarine, a deep-sea omega-3 discovery that delivers 85% more DHA omega-3s to your heart, brain, joints, and eyes. It's known to reduce the problems from tiredness and poor memory, joint pain, mood swings and depression.

With that research in mind, Dr. Lee combined Seanol and Calamarine with a high dose of vitamin D to form  Marine-D3, the newest supplement in the fight against age-related illnesses and high blood pressure.

Dr. Lee found that Calamarine delivers some of the greatest concentration of omega-3s known to science. Combined with Seanol's ability to reduce body inflammation(炎癥), as well as help cells get the nutrients they need to thrive, stay healthy and protected, Marine-D3 is able to boost a body's entire well being.

The makers of Marine-D3 are so confident that you'll see fast dramatic results from this product, that if you aren't happy after two full months, simply return the unused portion and they'll buy it back. They'll even give you ten dollars extra just for giving it an honest try! That kind of faith, combined with Dr. Lee's exhaustive research, shows that Marine-D3 really is a one-of-a-kind product.

4.D

5.D

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了科學家從一種罕見的海藻中提取到了兩種對高血壓和減少疲勞和記憶力問題的成分。這兩種成分制成的藥品對對抗老年性疾病和高血壓有很好的療效。

1.推理題：根據(jù)文章第一段“It’s a slow, but efficient killer that robs many people of what should be the last 10, 20 or 30 years of their lives”它是緩慢卻很有效的殺手，奪去了許多人本可以在持續(xù)10年、20年或30年的生命。此處的“它”指的是高血壓，由此可知高血壓會縮短我們的壽命。故選C。

2.推理題：閱讀第二段可知科學家已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)一種可以使血壓恢復到正常水平的有效成分。故選B。

3.細節(jié)題：根據(jù)第三段最后一句“Indeed, Seanol is so powerful, it's the only FDA-approved Ecklonia Cava marine-algae (海藻)  extract in existence.”事實上，Seanol有如此強大的功效，它是唯一一個由FDA批準從Ecklonia靜脈海藻中提純的物質(zhì)，由此可知是符合標準的，故A項正確；根據(jù)第三段中“a huge 40% fat soluble”40%脂溶性，可知B項錯誤；根據(jù)第三段中“an extremely rare seaweed extract(濃縮物) from Ecklonia Cava”一種很罕見的Ecklonia靜脈海藻萃取液,可知C項錯誤；根據(jù)第三段中“Seanol's protective compounds can get into things like the fatty tissues of your brain”Seanol保護化合物可以進入大腦的脂肪組織，而并不是“all things”所有物質(zhì)，故D錯誤。故選A。

4.推理題：閱讀第四段可知第二種成分Calamarine可減少疲勞和記憶力的問題,緩解關(guān)節(jié)疼痛、情緒波動和抑郁癥。由此可知它可以緩解疼痛，使人輕松。故選D。

5.推理題：pessimistic悲觀的；indifferent中立的；doubtful懷疑的；Optimistic樂觀的。閱讀最后兩段內(nèi)容可知這兩種物質(zhì)制成的藥品效果很好，還有促銷手段，市場前景良好，可見作者對此持有樂觀情緒。故選D。

考點：考查醫(yī)學類閱讀
