Passage Two
Most Americans don't eat enough fruits, vegetables or whole grains.
Research now says adding fiber to the teen diet may help lower the risk of
breast cancer. Conversations about the benefits of fiber are probably more
common in nursing homes than high schools. But along comes a new study that
could change that. Kristi King, a die specialist at Texas Children's Hospital,
finds it hard to get teenage patients’ attention about healthy eating. By
telling them they are eating lots of high-fiber foods could reduce the risk of
breast cancer before middle age. That’s a powerful message. The new finding is
based on a study of 44,000 women. They were surveyed about their diets during
high school and their eating habits were tracked for two decades. It turns out
that those who consumed the highest levels of fiber during adolescents had a
lower risk of developing breast cancer, compared with women who ate the least
fiber. This important study demonstrates that the more fiber you eat during your
high school years, the lower your risk is in developing breast cancer in later
life. The finding points to longstanding evidence that fiber may reduce
circulating female hormone levels, which could explain the reduced risk. The
bottom line here is the more fiber you eat, perhaps, a lower level of hormone in
your body, and therefore, a lower lifetime risk of developing breast cancer.
High-fiber diets are also linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and
diabetes. That's why women are told to eat 25 grams of fiber a day—man even
more.
Questions 13 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
13. What does the new study tell about adding fiber to the teen diet?
14. What do we learn about the survey of the 44,000 women?
15. What explanation does the speaker offer for the research finding? 【考后估分】 新东方四六级估分系统，逼真还原6月试题，精准估分提早了解过没过线！具体估分规则，敬请关注新东方网四六级真题解析专题！
