单选题 Are wine drinkers healthier than beer drinkers? If that is the case, it may have less to do with their choice of drink than with what they eat with it. A new study found that shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low-fat cheese than beer buyers, who were more in favour of things like chips. Studies have linked a moderate amount of alcohol use with better health, and this is especially true when it comes to wine, which has components that may help prevent cancer and cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. Still, it is possible that whatever health benefits wine drinkers enjoy actually result from overall better diets, some studies have suggested. The problem for researchers has been getting an accurate reading on people's diets in general and alcohol use in particular. Those being surveyed often understate their alcohol use and overstate their consumption of healthy foods. So for this study, the researchers tracked the sale of wine and beer over a six-month period at 98 supermarkets, and then looked at what kinds of food the shoppers bought. One auther, Dr. Morten Gronbaek, said the researchers had expected to find differences in buying patterns, but not to the extent that they did. There are other reasons wine drinkers may be healthier than beer drinkers, the researchers said. Wine tends to be drunk with food, and in smaller amounts, they noted, possibly affecting how the body metabolizes (使新陈代谢) it. And wine drinkers tend to be better educated and better off financially than beer drinkers, factors that would also help account for their better health.

单选题 What makes a wine drinker healthier than beer drinker is mainly due to______.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】解析：本题为综合理解题，要找出喝红酒的人比喝啤酒的人健康的主要原因。从文章的每一段中都可以得到一些信息，如第一段中：“…have less to do with their choice of drink than with what they eat with it．”“…shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low—fat cheese than beer buyers，”；最后—段中“Wine tends to be drunk with food，and in smaller amounts，”。综合这些信息可以得出结论：主要原因与食物和饮用量相关。故选项A．the food they eat that goes with wine为正确答案。选项B．theamount they drink every time在文中提到过，但是与文章较大篇幅描述食物相比较可以发现研究人员更重视食物在与不同酒类搭配时会对身体产生的影响。选项C．the less alcohol contained in wine选项D．the low fat contained in wine在文章中并没有提到。

单选题 Researchers failed to get an accurate reading on people's diets in general because______.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】解析：本题为细节题。本题是问研究人员没能得到大多数人准确的食谱的原因。从文中第三段“…overstate their consumption of healthy foods．”可以得知，选项A的“the consumption off oods”太笼统，应为“healthy foods”；选项B．的“understate the alcohol use”为正确答案。选项C．people have different buying patterns不是原因，而是调查的内容之一，但在实际调查中也没有达到预期的目标。选项D．people have different dietary habits则为—个事实，也不是原因。

单选题 From Paragraph Two we learn that some studies found______.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】解析：本题为综合理解题。文章第二段主要讨论了红酒购买者的购买习惯、少量饮酒对身体的好处以及红酒饮用者整体较好的饮食结构等。因此选项A．an overall better diet could bring wine drinkers health benefits与文章相对应，是正确答案。选项B和选项C中都涉及到啤酒饮用者具体行为，这在第二段中并未提及，因此都不正确。选项D．shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were usually better off financially的内容虽然正确，但却出现在第四段，不是第二段所讨论的内容。

单选题 The phrase "account for" (Line Para. 4) probably means to______.

单选题 Which of the following is not the factor contributing to better health of wine drinkers?

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】解析：本题为细节题。本题的问题是“下面哪一个不是喝红酒的人身体健康的原因?”。本文中多次提到红酒有利于健康，并且做了一些调查，证明红酒饮用者的饮食结构较好，在最后一段还提到其他一些原因。与文章中的相关细节逐一核对会发现选项A．Various buying patterns．与文章倒数第二段中“…the researchers had expected to find differences in buying patterns，butnot to the extent that they did．”比较后可以看出，这项调查没有成功，因此无法确定这一条是不是原因。选项B．Healthy diet．与文章第二段中“…whatever health benefits wine drinkers enjoy actually result from overall better diets，”一致，可以看作是原因之一；选项C．Better education．和选项D．Better financial background．”与文章最后一段中“…wine drinkers tend to be better educated and better off financially”相一致，也可以看作是原因。所以A是正确答案。
