參考答案：
1．B 從文章的題目可以得知，文章的主要內(nèi)容涉及飲食、酒精與癌癥的關(guān)系。不難看出，文章一開頭講的就是飲食是導(dǎo)致癌癥的主要原因之一，吸煙排名第一，飲食緊跟其后。
2．C 此處要表達(dá)的意思是“在發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家里”。
3．A 既然文章主要涉及飲食、酒精與癌癥的關(guān)系，因此，此處應(yīng)選“癌癥”一詞。
4．D 從接下來的“角色”一詞，便可得知此處應(yīng)選能與之搭配的“扮演”一詞。
5．B 前一句講道，飲食、喝酒與肥胖在癌癥發(fā)生的過程中扮演重要角色，此句應(yīng)為虛擬句，表示假設(shè)。
6．A 從句子的主旬不難看出，此處表示的是百分之多少的意思。
7 B 此處應(yīng)該填一個(gè)與前面介詞“in”一樣的介詞。
8．A 顯然，此處要表示的意思是肥胖增加某些類癌癥的危險(xiǎn)。
9. B 一個(gè)人既喝酒，又吸煙，那酒精的害處應(yīng)該是增加的。
10 C 此處應(yīng)選能引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從旬的連接詞。 。．
11 A 此處要表示的意思是“仍舊不得而知”。
12 C 從前面提到的“仍舊不得而知，但是科學(xué)家們希望”等詞語(yǔ)可以推斷，此處應(yīng)選“答案”。
13 A 從句子的最后一詞“highest”便可得知，此處應(yīng)選該詞的反義詞。
14 C 眾所周知，專家們多建議多吃水果、蔬菜以減少癌癥的危險(xiǎn)，可見此處應(yīng)選表示“至少”意思的詞語(yǔ)。
15 B 空格之前提到了一些最常見的癌癥，接下來舉的是例子，因此此處應(yīng)選表示“像．包括”等意的詞語(yǔ)。
