Rachel Thompson, the WCRF’s head of science, said that while the message was simple — that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers — it was still a difficult one to get across.

　　The WHO says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. This could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day.

　　Peter Baldini, head of the World Lung Foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who don’t smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.

　　“There isn’t a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,” Baldini said.

　　63. Which of the following words can best take the place of the phrase “ward off” in the sixth

　　paragraph?

　　A. protect

　　B. prevent

　　C. develop

　　D. cure

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】词义猜测题。根据not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can helpmany cancers可以推测是不吸烟，吃好的食物及有一个健康的体重有助于阻止癌症的发生，故选B。
