[C] It's stricter than previous guidance. [D] It advocates small daily amount of alcohol.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] 7-8
[7]Women should not drink any alcohol during pregnancy, NHS adviser to the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has said. It says if they must drink, they should not do so in the first three months and should limit consumption to one or two units once or twice a week afterwards. [7]It brings NICE in line with government advice and replaces previous guidance saying small daily amounts were fine. However, NICE concedes there is no evidence to support the change. Not everyone agrees with such a tough approach, but more systematic research into the impact of alcohol is expected. [8]Officials also called for local health bosses to ensure peer support, schemes where mothers encourage new parents to breastfeed are set up.
背景National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)指国家健康和临床质量研究所,是英国的健康卫生监督机构。
[解析] 新闻先是提到NICE建议孕妇不应沾酒,若一定要在孕期饮酒,则头三个月内应该避免饮酒,过了三个月的高风险期才可小饮。新闻后面又提到,这取代了NICE以前所说的孕妇每天可饮少量酒的建议,可见新建议比以前的建议更严格,因此C正确。
[点睛] 推理判断题盏新闻提到NICE的新建议与政府的一致(in line with),而非互相矛盾,故A错误;NICE承认尚未有足够证据支持新建议,故B错误;D是NICE以前提出的建议,而不是最新建议。
单选题 According to the news, peer support schemes are aimed at
[A] encouraging new parents to breastfeed their babies.
[B] limiting alcohol consumption.by pregnant women.
[C] imposing fines on expectant mothers who drink.
[D] providing solace to mothers addicted to alcohol.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 新闻提到,官员呼吁当地的保健业老板们应确保建立同济互助计划,并说该计划可让有经验的母亲现身说法,以鼓励新妈妈进行母乳喂养,因此A为正确答案。
[点晴]事实细节题。①预读题于可知题目考查peer support schemes设立的目的,听时应注意相关信息。②虽然NICE提倡孕妇最好限制酒精摄入量,但这并非同济互助计划的目的,故不选B;C和D在新闻中未提及,因此错误。
