Question

【題目】 Instead of gobbling(狼吞虎咽) your food, try eating more slowly. It may help you drop those unwanted pounds. The conclusion is from a new study by Chinese researcher.

The study showed that compared with people who gobbled their food, those who ate at a normal speed were 29 percent less likely to be obese(肥胖的). But those who ate slowly were up to 42 percent less likely to obese. In addition, people who ate slowly tended (往往會(huì)) to be healthier and have a healthier lifestyle than those who ate quickly or at a normal speed. “However, this study could not prove that speed eating causes or stops obesity,” the researcher noted.

“Slow eating has its advantages and a few disadvantages ,” said Samantha Heller from New York City. “On the one hand, slow eating gives our body time to register a sense of satisfaction and fullness, so we eat less. We are more likely to enjoy a taste of food. On the other hand, the longer people sit in front of food, the more food they will eat, ”she said.

“Speed eating appears to be far more harmful. People who eat quickly, as many of us do, gobble far more food than they need. In many European countries, slow eating is a way of life,” Heller said. In America, speed eating takes the lead. Thus we need to encourage people to have a change, learn the way of slower eating from Europeans and get a true enjoyment of food.

【解析】

文章大意：文章介紹了細(xì)嚼慢咽進(jìn)食的好處，鼓勵(lì)人們降低進(jìn)食速度。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Instead of gobbling your food, try eating more slowly. It may help you drop those unwanted pounds. The conclusion is from a new study by Chinese researcher.與其狼吞虎咽地吃東西，不如慢慢地吃。它可以幫你減掉多余的體重。這個(gè)結(jié)論來自中國(guó)研究者的一項(xiàng)新研究�？芍獊碜灾袊�(guó)，故答案選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The study showed that compared with people who gobbled their food, those who ate at a normal speed were 29 percent less likely to be obese. But those who ate slowly were up to 42 percent less likely to obese. 研究表明，與狼吞虎咽的人相比，以正常速度進(jìn)食的人肥胖的可能性要低29%。但那些吃得慢的人肥胖的可能性要低42%�？芍�吃的慢的人更不容易肥胖，故答案選C。

【3】理解判斷題。根據(jù)However, this study could not prove that speed eating causes or stops obesity,” the researcher noted. “然而，這項(xiàng)研究不能證明快速進(jìn)食會(huì)導(dǎo)致或阻止肥胖，”研究人員指出。所以D選項(xiàng)It is sure that eating quickly can cause obesity. 吃得快肯定會(huì)導(dǎo)致肥胖。不符合文意，故答案選D。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)下文so we eat less. We are more likely to enjoy a taste of food. 所以我們吃得更少，我們更有可能品嘗食物的味道�？芍�此處是講慢吃給我們的身體時(shí)間來意識(shí)到一種滿足感和飽腹感，因此register在文章中指“意識(shí)到”，故答案選B。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)Thus we need to encourage people to have a change, learn the way of slower eating from Europeans and get a true enjoyment of food.因此，我們需要鼓勵(lì)人們做出改變，向歐洲人學(xué)習(xí)慢食的方式，真正享受食物。結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容．可知文章主要講了細(xì)嚼慢咽可以幫助我們降低肥胖的可能性，是為了向我們解釋為什么我們需要吃的慢一點(diǎn)，故答案選D。
