細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一個(gè)信息的最后一句話可看出，C選項(xiàng)與它同義。12.

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二個(gè)信息最后一段的第一句話判斷A正確。13.

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。留言板上談到了AnnaKarenina，GonewiththeWind和JaneEyre三本經(jīng)典著作14.Healthexpertshavelongworriedabouttheincreasingrateofobesityinkids.It’sanimportantconcern:Beingweightorobeseduringchildhoodcanleadtoseriousproblemsnormallyseeninadults,suchasdiabetesandhighbloodpressure.Poordietsandalackofexerciseareusuallythecauses.Butwouldyoueverhaveimaginedtheremightbeaconnectionbetweenthebacteriathatlivedinyourguts（內(nèi)臟）whenyouwereababyandthechancethatyouwouldbecomeoverweight?

DCBB解析：10.D推斷題。由最后一段我們可以看出作者主要針對(duì)糖尿病人。11.C細(xì)節(jié)題。由Itcontainsusefulinformationandmayhelpyoutalktoyourdoctor可知答案。12.B詞義題。從第一段我們知道，作者希望糖尿病人注意自己的膽固醇數(shù)字，接下來，作者在第二段提醒人們要一本免費(fèi)的ChoLESterol，因此我們可以推斷ChoLESterol是向人們介紹如何降低膽固醇的。13.B推斷題。在本文中作者首先提出讓人們注意膽固醇數(shù)字，接著向人們介紹ChoLESterol，因此作者寫這篇文章的目的是幫助那些膽固醇數(shù)字高的人們。18.Everyonehastherighttoadviseyoutogoonadiet,_____?[
