Most Adults in US Have Low Risk of Heart Disease
More than 80 percent of US adults have a less than 10-percent risk of developing heart disease in the next 10 years,according to a report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.Just 3 percent have a risk that exceeds 20 percent.
"I hope that these numbers will give physicians,researchers,health policy analysts,and others a better idea of how coronary heart disease is distributed in the US population,"lead author Dr.Earl S.Ford,from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta,said in a statement.
The findings are based on analysis of data from 13,769 subjects,between 20 and 79 years of age,who narticipated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1988 to 1994.
Overall,82 percent of adults had a risk of less than 10 percent,15 percent had a risk that fell between 10 to 20 percent,and 3 percent had a risk above 20 percent.
The proportion of subjects in the highest risk group increased with advancing age,and men were more likely than women to be in this group.By contrast,race or ethnicity had little effect on risk distributions.
Although the report suggests that most adults have a low 10-year risk of heart disease,a large proportion have ahigh or immediate risk,Dr.Daniel S.Berman,from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles,and Dr.Nathan D.Wong,from the University of California at Irvine,note in a related editorial.
Aggressive treatment measures and public health strategies are needed to shift the overall population risk downward,they add.

第五段解释布拉德利反对政府推进体育博彩的另一原因。②句以反问引出原因：（若各州把体育博彩合法化）小联盟比赛或中学体育比赛似乎也可以允许赌博？③句以新泽西州情形给出否定回答：即使是反对1992年法令的新泽西州也不赞成对本地球队下注。故布莱德利提及新泽西州是为了反对各州政府推进体育博彩．A.正确。[解题技巧]B.C.D.干扰分别源自第五段的“小联盟比赛或中学体育比赛”、“（新泽西州）不赞成对本地球队下注”、“（新泽西州）对1992年法令提起诉讼”，但该段②③句语义逻辑实为：若推进体育博彩合法化，青少年体育比赛也会受到博彩的不良影响；即便是反对1992禁令的新泽西州也不赞成对本地的青少年球队下注（显然各州不愿意让青少年体育被博彩玷污）；其目的是反对推进体育博彩，三项均偏离此意。

解析：
第二段首句指出国会通过1992法令的最初动因“确保体育运动是对才能、努力及团队合作的公开展示——与相信机遇的博彩信念截然相反”，随后指出运动员的正直诚信体现于他们的比赛技能。由此可知，1992法令背后最为核心的理念就是“体育博彩会威胁体育诚信”，故C.符合文意。[解题技巧]A.干扰源自第三段②句“赌徒们期待一夜暴富的虚假妄想会玷污体育运动”，但不符合④句“运动员不相信运气（不易受到一夜暴富愿望的影响）”；B.将第三段①句对unforeseen circumstances的陈述“是测试运动员技能的一种挑战”夸大为“使运动员发挥最佳技能”；D.源自人们的惯常认识“运动员的成就往往是技能和运气综合作用的结果”，但并非1992法规所基于的理念。
第6题：
The origins(起源) of baseball probably stretch back to 1839 when Abner Doubleday, a civil engineering student, laid out a diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and attempted to standardize(使标准化) the rules governing the playing of such games as town ball and four old cat, the ancestors(祖先) of baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had grown rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the country playing rivals; they belonged to a national association of "Baseball Players" that had proclaimed(宣布) a set of standard rules. These teams were amateurs(业余爱好者) or semi-professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league appeared, the American Association. Competition between the two was intense, and in 1883 they played a post-season(季后赛) contest, the first "world's series". The American Association eventually collapsed, but in 1900 the American League was organized.
1. According to the passage, baseball originated in 1839 because ____.
A、Abner Doubleday invented a special diamond-shaped pitch
B、the rules of earlier games were amalgamated(合并) and regularized
C、civil engineering students became interested in playing games
D、the old games died out and a new one was needed
2. What was different about "Baseball Players" compared with earlier players?
A、They travelled widely.
B、They belonged to many clubs.
C、They played by agreed rules.
D、They were not professional.
3. According to the passage, the Cincinnati Red Stockings were formed in 1869 ____.
A、because baseball had become more popular by then
B、to enable the amateur players to become professional
C、so that the public had the opportunity to profit from a professional team
D、to produce a means of making money
4. From the passage, we understand that the National League was formed in 1876 to ____.
A、reorganize the professional teams
B、enable more professional teams to be set up
C、to provide a governing authority for baseball
D、authorize amateur and professional teams to combine
5. According to the passage, at the turn of the century the only remaining baseball organizations were ____.
A、the American League and the National League
B、the American League
C、the American Association and the American League
D、the American Association

American Sports
The United States is a sports-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms;organized competitive struggles,which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found;and hunting and fishing.Most sports are seasonal,so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports,as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exactly like base-ball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the country,and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets,because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball origi-nated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling,boxing,and horse racing.Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen,the accuracy of term is questionable,as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do "not assemble"primarily to see the horse race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.
