判断题

A team at the London School of Medicine analyzed data and found that air pollution was a reason for cardiovascular problems,particularly for women who are over 75 years old.

【正确答案】 错误
【答案解析】

该题正确选项是B,题干所给信息与录音不符。错误主要体现在最后几个词 上,题干在problems之后说的是对于年龄在75岁以上的妇女更是如此,而录音说的 是尤其对于75岁以上的人和妇女来说这种关联更强(更是如此),两者意思不同,主要是因为录音中使用了 and—词 ( in the over-75s and in women)。

[重点难点]
从语言细节上区分使用and —词的添加意义和不使用and的单一意义。

[录音原文]
A team at the London School of Medicine analyzed data collected in England and Wales between 2003 and 2009 on links between cardiovascular problems and air pollution. They reaffirmed that air pollution was linked to abnormal heart rhythm and blood clots in the lung. The strongest link was in the over-75 s and in women.
