【答案解析】[解析] 此处考查的是“祈使句+and+陈述句”句型,侧重点是连接词。在该句型中,前一分句表示一种条件或假设,相当于if条件状语从句,后一分句表示一种结果或推论。空格处所在的句子符合该句型,此句可变化为:If you eat, real food, your fat intake will probably be fine,故C.and为正确答案。so“因此,所以”表示因果;or“或者,否则,要不然”表示并列或选择;if“如果”表示条件,三项均不符合题意,故排除。
【答案解析】[解析] 根据句意“因为它们是添加糖,______天然的糖”可知,此空应填入表达“不同、有异于”等含义的词。opposed“相反的,相对的”,构成搭配as opposed to“与……相对”,符合题意,故C.opposed为正确答案。其他三项常用的搭配分别是:be similar to“与……相似”,be averse to sth. “不喜欢某事/物”,be objected to (doing) sth. “反对做某事”,均不能准确表达文意,故排除。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] 根据第三段最后四句对“糖”进行的具体介绍可知,倒数第二句“______:糖不是敌人,或者说不是唯一的敌人”是对前面内容的总结和概括,空格后的冒号更加说明了这一点,故A.In sum“总而言之”为正确答案。As a result“因此”,For instance“例如”,What"s more“另外,而且”,均不符合题意,故排除。
