答案與題解：
1. C 短文開頭第一句就說，“吃土豆有益于腸道健康，而且對整個免疫系統(tǒng)也有益，尤其是吃土豆色拉，喝涼吃”，因此在四個選項中最有營養(yǎng)的非C項莫屬。
2. A 第三段第三句說，“淋巴細胞水平低顯示炎癥水平下降”，故其它B、C、D三個選項均不正確。
3. B 第四段第二句引用了研究組負責人自己的話說，“在實驗中使用未經(jīng)加工的土豆淀粉，就是為了模擬富含耐久淀粉的飲食所起的作用”，其它A、C、D三個選項文章均沒有提及。
4. D 第五段第一句列出了一些富含耐久淀粉的食品，其中就沒有D項“蔬菜”，而且實際上蔬菜也不是富含淀粉的食物。
5. D 第五段倒數(shù)第二句已經(jīng)解釋了耐久淀粉的特點：“不能在小腸中消化，而是分流到大腸，在大腸中發(fā)酵”。其它選項個別詞語雖在短文中出現(xiàn)過，但都不是說明耐久淀粉的。
