Question

【题目】________ more coffee could ________ people’s life span, as coffee drinkers would have a lower risk of death, a new study shows.

A. Drinking; diverse B. Drinking; extend

C. To drink; conservative D. Being drink; adopt

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】考查非谓语动词和动词辨析。句意：一项新研究显示，多喝咖啡能延长人的寿命，喝咖啡的人死亡率较低。第一个空作主语，结合选项，要用动名词形式；第二个空根据题干中的would have a lower risk of death（降低死亡的风险），可以判断出是“延长寿命”的意思。diverse多样化；extend延伸；conservative保守的；adopt采纳；收养。故选B。
