Question

The weight-loss world is full of assertions①, rarely proved, that some pill can help you “burn calories while you sleep.” But a recent Dutch study reports that it can be done – simply by eating more lean protein②.
Researchers report for the first time that consuming nearly a third of daily calories as lean protein – for example, lean meats without the skin – speeds up a person’s metabolism③ during sleep and that higher protein intake increases the burning of calories and fat during the day. Plus, when the study’s participants, who were all women of healthy weight, ate more protein, they felt fuller, more satisfied and less hungry than when they consumed a diet with the amount of protein, about 10 percent of calories.
The findings suggest that adding lean protein to your daily food “enables you to reach the same level of satiety④that you are used to with about 80 percent of your normal energy intake,” notes Margriet Westerterp-Plantenga. “That means you can eat about 20 percent less and still have the same satiety.”
What gives protein its caloric edge? It’s more difficult for the body to metabolize protein than either fat or carbohydrates⑤. The body also doesn’t store protein as efficiently as it does carbohydrates or fat. So protein is more likely to be burned and that in turn requires more oxygen and helps you feel satisfied in the hours after eating.
But the latest findings don’t mean it’s time to dust off those high-protein diet books. The current study limited fat to about 30 percent of daily calories, and included 40 percent of calories as healthy carbohydrates, including fruit and vegetables. For example, lunch included bread, soy milk, fruit yogurt, tuna in water, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese and salad dressing.

1.C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章的第一段可知：盡管有很多關(guān)于減肥的研究，但是很少是有效的。
2.B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章的第四段的第二句可知。
3.D。詞義猜測題。由文章的最后一段可以知道，既然研究證明吃高蛋白的東西有利于身體能量的消耗，有利于減肥，當(dāng)然，以前關(guān)于高蛋白的一些食譜就要重新被利用了。
4.B。       主旨概括題。文章主要是介紹了一項(xiàng)研究，說明適量飲食無脂肪蛋白質(zhì)有利于消耗能量，當(dāng)然也就有利于減肥。
