(单选题)
Which of the followings is correct according to the passage? ( )
A.Depression is actually not one of typical diseases with high level of systemic inflammation.
B.The initial mood growth from sweets intake cannot make up their pro-inflammatory effect on brain.
C.Nearly half of the American population suffer from at least some symptoms of winter-onset depression.
D.Almost all patients with depression are related to systematic inflammation.
参考答案:B
参考解析:
是非题。A项:抑郁症实际上并不是典型的全身性炎症高发疾病之一;B项:糖类摄入引起的最初情绪振作无法弥补其对大脑的促炎作用;C项:将近一半的美国人至少有一些冬季发作性抑郁症的症状;D项:几乎所有的抑郁症患者都与系统性炎症有关。A项定位第七段,We don't normally think about depression being in that category, but it turns out that it really is——not for everyone who's depressed, but for about half.排除A项;B项定位第七段So, an inflamed brain is typically a depressed brain. And added sugars have a pro-inflammatory effect on the body and brain.所以,一个发炎的大脑通常是一个抑郁的大脑。添加的糖对身体和大脑有促炎作用。第六段It can be especially hard for people feeling down to resist sweets because they do offer an initial mood boost.对情绪低落的人来说,抵制甜食尤其困难,因为甜食确实会在一开始带来情绪上的提振;C项美国无中生有;D项,When we think about inflammatory disease we think about things like diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis——diseases with a high level of systemic inflammation. We don't normally think about depression being in that category, but it turns out that it really is——not for everyone who's depressed, but for about half. 不是所有,而是一半,排除D项。故本题正确答案选B。
