【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查细节理解。文章第二段第一句“There is something sensual and tactile about many slang words，which borrow heavily from the vocabularies associated with food(许多俚语都与人的感觉和触觉相关，大量借用了与食物有关的词汇)”。由此可以排除选项[A]，并确定选项[C]为正确答案。根据文章第一段第一句“Of the estimated 10,000 and 20,000 words that make up the average American's vocabulary，slang constitutes about 10 percent(美语一般性词汇估计有10,000到20,000，其中，俚语约占百分之十)”，可以排除选项[B]和[D]。
