Question

[Lê Quỳnh Anh]

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to answer the questions.

People in the UK enjoy fewer years of good health before they die than the citizens of most comparable European countries as well as Australia and Canada, a major report shows. While life expectancy has improved by 4.2 years in the UK over the two decades, other countries have improved faster. In 2010, Spain topped the league. Its people could expect 70.9 years of healthy life - before disease and disability began to take a toll. Second came Italy, with 70.2 years and third was Australia, on 70.1 years. In the UK, we can expect 68.6 healthy years of life.

Hunt said the UK was a long way behind its global counterparts and called for action by local health commissioners to tackle the five big killers - cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory and liver diseases. Drinking and drug use have been the main issues behind the worsening of the UK's ranking in early deaths among adults aged 20-54. In 2010, drugs were the sixth leading cause of death in this age group and alcohol was 18th - up from 32nd and 43rd place respectively 20 years earlier.

Hunt will on Tuesday announce a strategy to tackle cardiovascular disease, which he says could save 30,000 lives a year. "Despite real progress in cutting deaths, we remain a poor relative to our global cousins on many measures of health, something I want to change," he said. "For too long we have been lagging behind and I want the reformed health system to take up this challenge and turn this shocking underperformance around.” However, the problem is only in part to do with hospital care - much of it is about the way we live. Our diet, our drinking and continuing smoking habits all play a part, which assumes its responsibilities on 1 April.

Đáp án D

Theo như bài văn, điều gì KHÔNG phải là nguyên nhân dẫn đến tử vong ở Anh?

A. ma túy            B. đồ có cồn          C. uống rượu                 D. thức ăn

Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn 2:

- "Drinking and drug use have been the main issues behind the worsening of the UK’s ranking in early deaths among adults aged 20-54." (Uống rượu và sử dụng ma túy là những vấn đề chính đằng tình trạng ngày càng xấu đi ở Vương quốc Anh về tỷ lệ chết trẻ ở những người trưởng thành trong độ tuổi

20-54.)

- "In 2010, drugs were the sixth leading cause of death in this age group and alcohol was 18th - up from 32nd and 43rd place respectively 20 years earlier." (Trong năm 2010, ma túy là nguyên nhân gây tử vong đứng hàng thứ sáu ở lứa tuổi này và rượu là thứ 18 - tăng từ vị trí thứ 32 và 43 tương ứng của 20 năm trước đó.)
