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) 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.

【5】C

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了不要狼吞虎咽的吃東西，試著吃得慢一點，它可能幫助你減輕那些多余的體重，這一結論是來自中國研究者的一項新研究。

【1】細節(jié)理解。America美國；Japan日本； Europe歐洲；China中國。根據文中“The conclusion is from a new study by Chinese researcher.”可知，這一結論是來自中國研究者的一項新研究。故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解。根據文中“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.” 那些以正常速度進食的人肥胖的可能性降低了29%。但是那些吃得慢的人肥胖的可能性要低42%。因此吃的慢的人最小可能性肥胖。故選A。

【3】詞句猜測。根據文中“a sense of satisfaction and fullness, so we eat less.”可知，慢食讓我們的身體有時間來意識到滿足感和飽腹感，所以我們吃得更少。register的意思是“意識到”。故選A。

【4】推理判斷。根據文中“However, this study could not prove that speed eating causes or stops obesity,” the researcher noted.” 然而，這項研究不能證明快速進食會導致或阻止肥胖，”選項B“It is sure that eating quickly can cause obesity.”這個說法是錯誤的。根據文中“people who ate slowly tended (往往會) to be healthier and have a healthier lifestyle than those who ate quickly or at a normal speed.” 吃得慢的人往往比吃得快或吃得快的人更健康，生活方式也更健康。選項A“People who ate slowly tended to be healthier than those who ate quickly.”是正確的；根據文中“Speed eating appears to be far more harmful.” 快速進食似乎危害更大。選項C“Speed eating is harmful to us.”正確；根據文中“the longer people sit in front of food, the more food they will eat,” 人們坐在食物前面的時間越長，他們吃的食物就越多。選項D“The longer you sit in front of food, the more food you will eat.”說法正確。故選B。

【5】主旨大意。通讀整篇短文可知，這篇短文講述了不要狼吞虎咽地吃東西，試著吃慢點，它可能幫助你減輕多余的體重，既我們吃更慢的原因。故選C。
