弹性。）以及第三段中“ThesoilisregeneratedusingwhatSandtoGreencalls“greenmanure”,a

mixturethatincludescompost,biochar（生物炭）andmicroorganismsthathelpthesoil"wake

（土壤的再生使用“从沙到绿”所谓的“绿肥”，这是一种混合物，包括堆肥、生物炭和微生物，

程度并不低。”如果血液中赤薛糖醇的含量达到最高水平，有心脏病风险因素的人患心脏病

的可能性会增加一倍。赤辞糖醇似乎能使血小板更容易凝结。血块会破裂并进入心脏或大脑,

导致心脏病发作或中风。）可推知，关于风险，哈森在第二段的话是为了表明它不应被低估。

故选C项。

13.细节理解题。根据第三段"Erythritolisasugaralcohol,acarbfoundnaturallyinmanyfruits

andvegetables.However,artificiallymanufacturedinmassivequantities,erythritolhasbecomean

extremelypopularadditivetolow-carbproducts.^^（赤群糖醇是一种糖醇，是一种存在于许多水

进行更深入的研究，而且要抓紧时间，因为这种物质现在已经广泛存在。如果它有害，我们

应该知道它。”）可推知，科学应该对赤碎糖醇进行进一步的研究。故选D项。

15.主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Asugarreplacementcallederythritol（赤好糖醇）has

beenlinkedtobloodclotting（血液凝固），stroke,heartattackanddeath,accordingtoanewstudy.”

（一项新的研究表明，一种名为赤碎糖醇的糖替代品与血液凝固、中风、心脏病发作和死亡

有关。）可知，文章主要讲的是研究表明，一种名为赤薛糖醇的糖替代品与血液凝固、中风、

心脏病发作和死亡有关。故文章最好的标题是“发现赤辞糖醇的潜在健康风险:故选B项。
