A．Healthy way of life giving way to overuse of medicine B．Different findings as to taking additional vitamin C．EU's response to overuse of health products D．Worrying increase in multivitamin advertising E．EU directive for the benefit of individuals F．EU directive against prediction in novels

76．C．
The use of health supplements such as multivitamin tablets has increased greatly in the western world．People take these supplements because advertising suggests that they prevent a range of medical conditions from developing．However，there is concern that people are consuming worryingly high doses of these supplements and the European Union （EU） has issued a directive that will ban the sale of a wide range of them．This EU directive should be supported．
77．B
Research suggests that people who take Vitamin C supplements of over 5000milligrams a day are more likely to develop cancer．This shows how much damage these health supplements do to people's health．A spokesman for the health supplement industry has argued that other research shows that Vitamin C supplements help prevent heart disease，but we can dismiss this evidence as it is from a biased source．
78．F
Science fiction of the 1960s and 1970s predicted that pills would replace meals as the way in which people would get the fuel they needed．This，it was argued，would mean a more efficient use of time as people wouldn't have to waste it preparing or eating meals．The EU directive would help prevent this nightmare of pills replacing food becoming a reality．
79．A
Peop0le already take too many pills instead of adopting a healthier lifestyle．For example，the consumption of painkillers in Britain in 1998was 21tablets per year for every man，woman and child in the country．People do not need all these pills．
80．E
Some might argue that the EU directive denies people's right to freedom of choice．However，there are many legal examples for such intervention when it is in the individual's best interests．We now make people wear seatbelts rather than allowing them to choose to do so．Opposing the EU directive would mean beneficial measures like this would be threatened．Section D．

Answer 1

分析 文章大意：文章讲述的是针对人们服用过多的维生素等药物，欧盟出台了一项指令，为了纠正和防止药物的过渡使用所产生的问题．

解答 76．C．根据第一段的内容可知，该段的主要观点是however，之后的内容，前面是提出一个现象，为了引出问题，however之后是文章主要讨论的话题，即there is concern that people are consuming worryingly high doses of these supplements and the European Union （EU） has issued a directive that will ban the sale of a wide range of them，担心人们错误地消费了高剂量的补品，因此EU对此作出了反应，出台了一项指令，将会禁止补品的广泛使用．即C项，UE对过度使用健康产品的反应．
77．B  根据第二段的Research suggests that people who take Vitamin C supplements of over 5000 milligrams a day are more likely to develop cancer．和A spokesman for the health supplement industry has argued that other research shows that Vitamin C supplements help prevent heart disease可知，该段主要讲述了两种截然相反的，关于是否要服用额外的维生素C的观点，因此选择B项，讲的是关于服用额外维生素的不同发现．
78．F  根据该段的The EU directive would help prevent this nightmare of pills replacing food becoming a reality可知，欧盟的指令将会阻止这种用药片来代替食物的噩梦成为现实，即F项．
79．A：根据该段的Peop0le already take too many pills instead of adopting a healthier lifestyle可知，人们已经服用了太多的药片了，故选择A项．
80．E 根据最后一段的However，there are many legal examples for such intervention when it is in the individual's best interests…Opposing the EU directive would mean beneficial measures like this would be threatened可知，欧盟的这项指令目的是为了公众的最大利益，即选择E．
