Not all heavy drinkers develop cirrhosis, an【S6】______scar ring of the liver that hurts the organ’s ability to filter toxins (毒素) from the blood. Klatsky said the new findings may help explain why some people’s livers【S7】______heavy alcohol use.

    The same study found coffee drinkers had healthier results on blood tests used to measure liver function, whether or not they were heavy alcohol users. Coffee’ s effect on reducing liver enzymes (酶) in the blood was more【S10】______among the heavy drinkers in the study.

答案 I
解析 分析句子成分可以推断所填的空应为表语。unclear意为“不清楚的”，而apparent为“显然的”。此句的意思是“到底是咖啡因还是咖啡中的其他成分起保护作用，这还不清楚”。
