答案與題解：

1D第一段第一句講“節(jié)食可能不是非做不可的事”，第二句講“即使上了年紀(jì)再節(jié)

食，我們?nèi)匀挥锌赡茉诤艽蟪潭菼,保持青春活力”，因此，“我們必須從小就開始節(jié)食”

是錯(cuò)誤的，D是答案。

2B第二段提及“一只高齡老鼠”的時(shí)候，作者談到，“只要連續(xù)四周限制它進(jìn)食，

它的肝臟基因就會變得和衰老前一樣充滿活力”。據(jù)此，“為了描述節(jié)食對老鼠所產(chǎn)生的

影響”景好地回答了題干中的問題。

3.D第四段提到，“正常飼養(yǎng)的老鼠隨著年齡的增長有46條肝臟基因會發(fā)生變化,

這種變化與炎癥和有機(jī)體組織無限激增有關(guān)”，因此，D正確。

4.A第四段最后一個(gè)句子講“但最驚人的發(fā)現(xiàn)是那些上了年紀(jì)才開始節(jié)食的老鼠

也能從70%的基因變化中受益”?！白铙@人的”自然是“最令研究人員感興趣的”。

5.C文章的最后兩段談及Spindler對節(jié)食的看法。首先，他不能肯定節(jié)食是否值

得。其次，他希望在不久的將來，我們不必節(jié)食。所以我們可以推知，他認(rèn)為節(jié)食開：

是得以健康長壽的好辦法。

Aexplainswhyinflammationtriggerscancer.

Baccountsforwhyfoodcancoatdigestive-tracttissues.

Dreducestheriskoflaryngealcancer.

答案與題解：

1.A文章第一個(gè)句子就是答案.

2.C第二段的第二句說的是餐外飲酒使得喉癌幾率增加了20%,而不是就餐飲酒

的情況。所以C是正確答案。其他二項(xiàng)均在文中直接或間接提到。

3.A第三段第二句告訴我們，酒精攝入量最低的一組每星期飲酒量達(dá)20杯，因此,

大約每天在三杯左右。

4.B文章第四段的第一句和第二句是日由連接詞incontrast連接的兩個(gè)句。In

contrast的是句間的反比關(guān)系。第一句說明酒精消費(fèi)量最大的一組，患其他三種癌癥

的幾率與低酒精攝人量組相比，分別是他們的10倍、7倍和I6倍，而第二句告訴我們，

相比之下，其患喉癌的機(jī)率只是另一組的3倍。用此，B是正確選項(xiàng)。

5.D文章最后一句提供了答案。
