答案與題解：
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此處要表達的意思是"在發(fā)達國家里"。
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前一句講到,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從句子的主句不難看出,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患某些類癌癥的危險。
9.B 一個人既喝酒,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)賓語從句的連接詞。
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,專家們建議多吃水果、蔬菜以降低患癌癥的風(fēng)險,可見此處應(yīng)選表示"至少"意思的詞語。
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"等意思的詞語。
