Read the passage and answer the
questions that follow. Doctors have long (1)suspected that (2)excess fat around the belly — as opposed to around the thighs or hips — increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Apparently, abdominal fat doesn’t just wobble and look unpleasant. It actively promotes poor health by, among other things, pumping out inflammatory proteins and interfering with the body’s ability to use insulin. So it seemed to many doctors that surgically removing belly fat by a process called “liposuction” should give patients a double benefit: a slimmer physique and a better health profile.
That’s why there was great disappointment with the news, reported
recently in the New England Journal
of Medicine, that unlike losing weight the old-fashioned way —
by eating less and moving more — liposuction makes no difference to a
person’s biological risk factors.
Researchers (3)carried
out extensive tests on 15 (4)obese women before and three months
after they underwent liposuction. They removed 9 to 10 kg of fat from each
patient, which is twice as much as is usually removed. The women were
instructed not to diet or exercise any more than usual over the course of
the experiment. All reported that they felt better and could move more
easily after surgery. But with respect to their biological risk factors,
the data obtained after the procedure were (5)identical to the
data obtained before.
Question 1: Select the option that best completes each sentence. Ａ. The “old-fashioned” way of losing weight involves (a) surgically sucking out abdominal fat. (b) reducing biological risk factors. (c) dieting and exercising. (d) great disappointment. Ｂ. In a normal liposuction procedure, the amount of fat generally removed is (a) nine or ten kilos. (b) four and a half to five kilos. (c) between eighteen and twenty kilos. (d) two or three kilos. Ｃ. Following the study, the fifteen subjects were in better condition (a) subjectively but not objectively. (b) objectively but not subjectively. (c) both subjectively and objectively. (d) neither subjectively nor objectively. （以下略） Question 2: For each of the underlined words or expressions marked (1) to (6), give one other English word or expression with a similar meaning that could be used instead. （以下略）

disappointment with the news, reported recently in the New England Journal of Medicine,
that unlike losing weight the old-fashioned way — [A] by eating less and moving
more — [B] liposuction makes
no difference to a person’s biological risk
factors. Researchers (3)carried out extensive tests on 15
(4)obese women before and
three months after they underwent liposuction. [B] They removed 9 to 10 kg of fat from each
patient, which is twice as much as is usually removed. The
women were instructed not to diet or exercise any more than usual over the
course of the experiment. [C] All
reported that they felt better and could move more easily after surgery.
But with respect to their biological risk factors, the data obtained after
the procedure were (5)identical to the data obtained
