答案与题解:
1. A 第二段第一句明确说到喂奶可以减少妇女患乳腺癌的危险性。
2. B 第二段说激素补充疗法会增加患乳腺癌的危险性,而第三段说到雌激素时只说到它是供给身体发育的,并未提到它会触发乳腺癌,两者是不能相提并论的。
3. A 第四段尤其是最后一句已是结论性的话,瘦肉吃的多,患乳腺癌的可能性就大,反之就小,故成正比。
4. A 倒数第三段列出了研究人员过去认为可能吃瘦肉致乳腺癌的三个原因,其中第一个就是瘦肉的烹调方法。
5. B 同样倒数第三段中列出的第三个因素就是瘦肉中所含的铁的种类,言下之意是有些类型的铁致癌,有的就不致癌,因此说所有食物中的铁都致癌显然是错的。
6. B 倒数第二段说到,食用大量白藜芦醇这种植物的混合物老鼠就会长寿,最后一段又说到白藜芦醇能提高肌肉的功能,这些都是正面的、积极的作用,并没有说它能致癌。
7. C 倒数第二段只说红酒中含有白藜芦醇,并没有说其它酒类有还是没有。
