Thursday.Researchers looked at a sample（样本）of nearly 145,000 women aged 50 to 79 forthe analysis published in the US journal Cancer Epidemiology.They found that eachadditional 10 centimeters of height was linked to a 13 percent higher risk of gettingcancer.Finally,cancer is a result of processes having to do with growth,so it makes sensethat hormones（荷尔蒙）or other growth factors that influence height may alsoinfluence cancer risk,said lead author Geoffrey Kabat,senior epidemiologist（流行病学家）at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York.After 12 years of following women who entered the study without cancer,researchers found links between greater height and higher possibility of developingcancers of the breast,colon（结肠），kidney（肾）,thyroid（甲状腺），as well as multiplemyeloma（骨髓瘤）and melanoma（黑素瘤）.“We were surprised at the number of cancer sites that were positively associatedwith height.In this data set,more cancers are associated with height than wereassociated with body mass index（BMI 体重指数）added Kabat.Taller women even suffered a higher risk for some cancers,such as a 23 to 29percent increase in the risk of developing cancers of the kidney rectum,thyroid.None of the 19 cancers studied showed a lower risk with greater height.The studydid not establish a certain height level at which cancer risk begins to rise,and Kabatsaid it is important to remember that the increased risk researchers found was small.“It needs to be kept in mind that factors such as age,smoking,body mass index,and certain other risk factors have considerably larger effects he said,“Theassociation of height with a number of cancer sites suggests that exposures in early life,including nutrition,play a role in influencing a persons risk of cancer.31.What do you know about the research?A.The participants are of the same age.B.They chose most middle-aged and elderly women.C.They found hormones are sure to cause cancer.D.The participants must be American natives.32.According to Geoffrey Kabat we can know t hat.A.cancer has a bad effect on the physical growth B.obesity is more highlyassociated with cancerC.no women are aware of their unfavorable height D.so many kinds of cancer arelinked to the height33.What does the last paragraph imply?A.The lifestyle influences a person health heavily.B.A poor habit will lead to asudden growth.C.A persons life span depends on his height.D.Good nutrition can ensureyour good health.34.We can infer from the passage that.A.the tall women are sure to suffer from cancer B.many researchers disagree withGeoffrey KabatC.more evidence should be found in future D.BMI is the main cause for 19cancer sites35.Which of the following is the title for the passage?A.Cancer is Related to the Factors of Growth B.Tall Women May Face HigherCancer RiskC.Women Are Easy to Be Affected by Cancer D.Tall Women are in poorer healththan Short Ones第 二 节（共 5 个小题；每小题2 分；满分10分）根据短文内容，选择最佳选项，其中有两个是多余选项。Your teen years are a time
