　　【答案】　A

　　B

　　While some people are concerned about not getting enough protein，a new study shows that we may have too much.It shows that middle­aged people who eat a diet high in animal protein from milk，meat and cheese are four times more likely to die of cancer than someone who eats a low protein diet—a death risk factor comparable to smoking.

　　Researchers looked at 6,318 adults over the age of 50.On average，about 16 percent of their total daily calories came from protein.Two­thirds of that amount was from animal protein.

　　The study showed that those consuming a high protein diet were 74 percent more likely to die of any cause within the study period than their low protein counterparts(相对应的人)．They were also several times more likely to die of diabetes(糖尿病)．

　　“There is a misconception that because we all eat，understanding nutrition is simple.But the question is not whether a certain diet allows you to do well for three days，but can it help you survive to be 100？” co­author Valter Longo said.“Almost everyone is going to have a cancer cell or pre­cancer cell in them at some point.The question is: Does it progress？” Longo said.

　　Longo and his colleagues found that foods from plants did not have the same effect on death as high protein foods from animals did.The results indicate that respondents (调查对象) aged between 50 and 65 consuming moderate (适度的) to high levels of animal protein display a major increase in the risks of cancer and overall death; however，the risks may be somewhat reduced if protein does not come from an animal source.When the study was controlled for the effect of plant­based protein，there was no change in the association between protein intake and death，indicating that high levels of animal protein promote death.

　　“A low protein diet in middle age is useful for preventing cancer and overall death，” co­author Eileen Crimmins said.Older people in the study，however，saw a different outcome of eating a high protein diet.The researchers found that for older people aged over 65，higher levels of protein protected against cancer，disease and earlier death.

　　【语篇解读】　高动物蛋白的饮食可能导致过早死亡。

　　5．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

　　A．Most people worry that they get less protein than they should.

　　B．Whether getting enough protein is a popular topic now.

　　C．Most cancers are related to animal protein in the world.

　　D．Eating a high animal protein diet is as dangerous as smoking.

　　【解析】　细节理解题。根据第一段“It shows that middle­aged people who eat a diet high in animal protein from milk，meat and cheese are four times more likely to die of cancer than someone who eats a low protein diet—a death risk factor comparable to smoking.”可知，一项研究表明其饮食含有来自牛奶、肉和奶酪的动物蛋白的中年人死于癌症的可能性是低蛋白饮食者的5倍，这种死亡危险因素(动物蛋白)可与吸烟相提并论。故高动物蛋白饮食和吸烟一样有害。

　　【答案】　D

　　6．The following statements are TRUE except________.

　　A．animal protein provides people aged over 50 with about 11 percent of total daily calories

　　B．high protein diet may cause cancer cells to grow sharply

　　C．Valter Longo said people had misunderstanding about the understanding of nutrition

　　D．people who consume a high protein diet also have a high risk of diabetes

　　【解析】　细节理解题。根据第二段的叙述可知，科学家们研究了6 318名50岁以上的人。他们的每日总卡路里大约16%来源于蛋白质。而三分之二的蛋白质来源于动物蛋白质。因此可知，动物蛋白质为50岁以上的人每日提供大约11%的卡路里。由此可知A正确。根据第三段的叙述可知，摄入较多蛋白质的人也更容易患糖尿病。由此可知D正确。根据第四段“‘There is a misconception that because we all eat，understanding nutrition is simple....’co­author Valter Longo said.”可知，Valter Longo说，“因为我们都吃，所以我们对营养的理解有误解。”由此可知C项正确。根据第四段“‘Almost everyone is going to have a cancer cell or pre­cancer cell in them at some point.The question is：Does it progress？’Longo said.”可知几乎我们每个人在某一时刻都会有癌细胞，但问题是“它会发展吗？”无法推断出高蛋白的饮食会导致癌细胞快速增长。故B项错误。

　　【答案】　B

　　7．Which of the following may Valter Longo agree?

　　A．High protein is bad for people's health.

　　B．It's dangerous for everyone to have cancer cells.

　　C．Plant protein is healthier than animal protein.

　　D．Living to be 100 years old will be very common in the future.

　　【解析】　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的叙述可知，Valter Longo和同事发现，植物蛋白质和动物蛋白质在致人死亡方面的影响不同，相对来说植物蛋白质对人的危害小得多。由此可推知，植物蛋白质要比运动蛋白质更健康。

　　【答案】　C

　　8．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that

　　________.

　　A．low plant protein intake may lead to earlier death

　　B．middle­aged people are most likely to have cancer

　　C．old people benefit from a higher amount of protein

　　D．Eileen Crimmins holds different opinions from Longo

　　【解析】　推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers found that for older people aged over 65，higher levels of protein protected against cancer，disease and earlier death.”可知，研究人员发现，超过65岁以上的人来说，高蛋白能帮助预防癌症，疾病和早死亡。由此可推知，老年人能从高蛋白中获益。

　　【答案】　C

　　Ⅳ.语法填空

　　阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　Wolves use many different types of communication.One way they communicate is through sound.The howl(嚎叫)is a well­known method wolves use 1.________(communicate)with each other.While howling，wolves often change their voices a lot.Some people think that wolves do that 2.________purpose，in order to fool others into believing that there are more animals present than there really 3.________(be)．

　　Wolves seem to howl for plenty of 4.________(reason)．They often howl before they go on a hunt，possibly to get the wolves together，and they often begin to howl after 5.________successful hunt.They do not，however，howl while they 6.________(hunt)．Besides，a wolf may howl alone if it is having trouble 7.________(find)its pack.

　　Wolves may also answer the calls of humans who are pretending to howl like wolves.They howl 8.________(little)often during May and June than they do during the rest of the year.This may be because that is the time that they are most likely to have young ones present.9.________is possible that wolves that have young ones don't want to be found by others，since pups are 10.________(easy)hurt.

　　【答案】　1.to communicate　2.on　3.are　4.reasons　5.a　6.are hunting　7.(in)finding　8.less　9.It　10.easily

　　【规律技巧】　形容词、副词的变化

　　英语中大部分形容词和表方式的副词都有原级、比较级和最高级的变化。构成比较级和最高级的方式通过加后缀­er和­est，或在词前加more/less和most/least；形容词的最高级还要加冠词the。该题空后含有than，故填比较级。
