［2012济南模拟］
The high-protein, low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物) diets many people turn to for weight loss might have potentially harmful long-term effects on the colon, a small study indicates.
In the study, UK researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carb diet created certain changes in the colon that could contribute to colon cancer risk. The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the risk of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.
Diets relatively higher in protein and lower in carbs have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “People should not be discouraged from losing weight, ” Dr Flint said. However, he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber and a high protein intake over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.
The findings are based on 17 overweight men who followed three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with reasonable amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbs.
On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitroso compounds(亚硝基化合物) and other metabolites(代谢物) that have been linked to cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carb diets, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against cancer.
Exactly what those changes might mean for a person’s health is not clear. But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be cautious about consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. In general, experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day—though it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.

Ⅲ.本文讲述的是Mrs. Clarke在发现家中被盗后采取措施，靠智慧保护了自家财产，同时用开水惩治小偷，并帮助警察捉到了小偷的故事。
1．【解析】选B。从上下文来看，此处说的是Mrs. Clarke每到星期四下午都去女子俱乐部打发时间。
2．【解析】选C。从后面的几个问句来看，她对是否出现了问题还没有把握，故这只是她回到家时的一种“感觉”，觉得有点“反常”，但不能说是learn(得知)，find(发现)，更不能是hope(希望)。sense在此为动词，意为“觉察到，感觉到”。
3．【解析】选D。从The back door and the windows were all locked及下文来看，此处应用sign，即没有人强行进入的迹象/痕迹(sign)。
4．【解析】选D。从Had anything been taken来看，她仍不知道是否丢失了东西，由此可推测，此时只能是“核实”一下是否有丢失的东西，而不是注视着(watch)，搜查(search)，或看(look)。
5．【解析】选C。由第一段第一句话知她每逢星期四下午就到女子俱乐部去，由此可推测在下星期四她又像往常一样出门了。at her usual time指在往常的时间，与往常一样。
6．【解析】选B。为防止被贼看到，Mrs. Clarke从后门偷偷地进了家门。前面已提到她已把门锁上了，故排除open。
7．【解析】选B。从下文的Mrs. Clarke 10 the kettle and poured the water over the hand来看，此处说的是她正在沏茶(make tea)，并非是喝茶(drink tea)或倒茶(pour tea)或种茶(plant tea)。
8．【解析】选C。从上下文来看，贼在外面，Mrs. Clarke在里面，只能是听到外面letter-box被打开，而see，watch，smell都不合此时捉贼的情景。
9.【解析】选D。从后面的A 11 cry was heard outside as the wire 12 to the floor来看，此处说的是盗贼用铁丝作工具来行窃。
10．【解析】选C。前面说当出现动静时她正在沏茶，此处说的是她举起沏茶用的热水壶，然后把水浇在伸进来的那只手上。
11．【解析】选C。她举起热水壶把开水浇在那只手上，由此可想像那人应是痛得尖叫起来，即a sharp cry。
12．【解析】选D。由一声尖叫可推测，那只手被烫着了，由此可判断此处说的是铁丝掉到了地上。fall to the floor意为“掉到地上”。
13．【解析】选C。这是盗贼冷不防遭到袭击后的反应：先是铁丝掉到了地上，接着把手缩回去，然后就逃跑了，故此处说的是她听到了逃跑的脚步声。
14．【解析】选A。Mrs. Clarke凭借智慧捉到了小偷，自然在女子俱乐部受人羡慕/受到了赞扬。admire有“夸奖，赞扬”的意思。
15．【解析】选B。结合全文，可知她这种做法是“自我保护”，故用self-protection。

8. 【解析】With 介词短语搭配，构成介词复合结构。
9. 【解析】the 形容词最高级前缺少冠词。
10.【解析】than 表示比较的句式中缺少连词than，由空前面的more interest可知用连词than。
Ⅴ. 1.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。文章的第一段是本文的中心段，概括了本文的主要内容，故B项作为本文的标题最合适。
2.【解析】选A。词义猜测题。由第二段第一句中的colon cancer可推知colon是一种器官，故选A。
3. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第一句可知，英国调查人员发现，高蛋白低碳水化合物的饮食结构会使结肠发生某些变化，而这种变化将增加患结肠癌的风险。
4.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，人们在减肥时应谨慎，因为长期大量摄入蛋白质、少量碳水化合物对身体不好，故D项正确。
