B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案B
解析该题句意为：在英国，2007年有11 990名女子死于乳腺癌。根据第二段中“The Cancer Research UK data showed that 11 ,990 women died in the UK in 2007”可知，2007年英国癌症研 究中心的数据显示，2007年美国妇女的死亡人数是11 990。虽然没有专门强调死亡是由乳腺 癌所致，不过根据句子中的“Cancer Research”和第一段的内容推断，此数字就是乳腺癌的死亡 人数。因此该推论是正确的。
该题句意为：在英国，乳腺癌患者的死亡统计是从1971年开始的。根据文章第三段中 "The previous lowest figure had been recorded in 1971一the year records began...”可知，先前的最 低点是在1971年，即开始作统计的那一年。由此得知该推论是正确的。
该题句意为：在英国乳腺癌诊断的比率一直在下降。根据第四段中“...despite breast cancer being diagnosed more often."(······尽管被诊断为乳腺癌的病例越来越常见）可知，该论 断是错误。
该论断在文章中未提及。
该论断在文章中未提及。
该题句意为：2005年英国死于乳腺癌的女性人数少于2004年。根据倒数第四段中 "There was a slight rise in 2005"(2005年人数略微上升）可以推断，该论断是错误的。
最后一段中说ohesity（肥胖）and alcohol consumption是诱发乳腺癌的原因，但未提及其 他疾病，因此选C。Put downto的意思是“归因于”。
