Question

19．Aspirin
Aspirin （acetylsalicylic acid） has been used for many years as a painkiller．It also has an anti-inflammatory （消炎） action and can be used to reduce fever．Aspirin is already recommended for people to prevent stroke and heart attack because it improves one's blood circulation．So many people already take daily aspirin as a heart drug．Although aspirin can cause deadly internal bleeding，which is relatively rare，its benefits for people are great，not only to help increase the length of people's lives，but to prevent and treat cancer，or to stop cancer spread according to the latest research．
Taking a low dose （剂量） of aspirin every day can prevent and possibly even treat cancer，fresh evidence suggests．Prof．Peter Rothwell，from Oxford University，and his colleagues，who carried out the latest work，had already linked aspirin with a lower risk of certain cancers，particularly bowel（肠） cancer．But their previous work suggested people needed to take the drug for about 10 years to get any protection．Now the protective effect occurs much sooner-within three to five years-based on a new analysis of data from 51 trials involving more than 77，000 patients．And aspirin appears not only to reduce the risk of developing many different cancers in the first place，but may also stop cancers spreading around the body．
Taking a low （75-300mg） daily dose of aspirin appeared to cut the total number of cancer cases by 25% after only three years-there were nine cancer cases per 1，000 each year in the aspirin-taking group，compared with 12 per 1，000 for those taking dummy pills．It also reduced the risk of a cancer death by 15% within five years （and sooner if the dose was higher than 300mg）．And if patients stayed on aspirin for longer，their cancer death risk went down even further-by 37% after five years．
Low-dose aspirin also appeared to reduce the probability that cancers，particularly bowel，would spread to other parts of the body，and by as much as half in some instances．However，Prof．Rothwell says for most fit and healthy people，the most important things they can do to reduce their lifetime cancer risk is to give up smoking，take exercise and-have a healthy diet．
But experts warn that there is still not enough proof to recommend it to prevent cancer cases and deaths and warn that the drug can cause dangerous side effects like stomach bleeding．Prof．Peter Johnson of Cancer Research UK，along with other experts，said it was still a good idea that people thinking of taking aspirin should first consult their doctors because of the possible side effect．And people should get some decisive advice from the government as to whether aspirin should be recommended more widely and the government should also advise the public about the benefits and risks of aspirin．

Answer 1

解答 71．kill/relieve/release/reduce/remove；由句子Aspirin （acetylsalicylic acid） has been used for many years as a painkiller．可知阿司匹林很多年来都被人用做止痛药，即用来缓解/减少疼痛的．
72．heart；由句子Aspirin is already recommended for people to prevent stroke and heart attack可知阿司匹林可用来防止中风和心脏病．
73．side；由句子Although aspirin can cause deadly internal bleeding，which is relatively rare，可知阿司匹林会引起致命的内出血，这是 它的一个副作用，因此用side effect来表达．
74．bleeding；由句子Although aspirin can cause deadly internal bleeding，which is relatively rare，可知阿司匹林会引起致命的内出血，但这是罕见的．
75．quarter/fourth；由句子Taking a low （75-300mg） daily dose of aspirin appeared to cut the total number of cancer cases by 25% after only three years可知每天服用少量的阿司匹林会减少25%的癌症例子，25%可表达为a quarter/fourth． 
76．reduce/lower/decrease/prevent；由句子It also reduced the risk of a cancer death by 15% within five years （and sooner if the dose was higher than 300mg）．And if patients stayed on aspirin for longer，their cancer death risk went down even further-by 37% after five years．可知它也会减少癌症的死亡率．
77．possible/probable；由句子Low-dose aspirin also appeared to reduce the probability that cancers，particularly bowel，would spread to other parts of the body，可知服用少量的阿司匹林有可能减少癌症的扩散．
78．Experts'/Reserchers'；短文最后一段提及的是专家的观点，故答案为 Experts'/Reserchers'．
79．before；由句子 it was still a good idea that people thinking of taking aspirin should first consult their doctors because of the possible side effect．可知人们在服用阿司匹林前应咨询医生以防有什么副作用．
