The seven-year study found that men (4)walked or cycled for at least 30 minutes a day had a 34 per cent lower risk of (5) from cancer than the men who did less exercise or nothing at all. (6) the period studied, 3,714 men developed cancer and 1,153 died from the disease. The researchers suggest that half an hour's walking (7) cycling a day increased survival among these men by 33 per cent.

The researchers surveyed men from two counties in central Sweden about their lifestyle and the amount of (8) activity they were usually doing.

Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: "This study gives us a clear indication that men who exercise are less (12) to die from cancer, and that they are more likely to (13)the disease if they get it.

正确答案:B

解析:between 45 and 79显然指的是这些男人的年龄，因此应选aged。

正确答案:C

解析:修饰前面的men一词，因此应选限制性关系代词who。
