    4.4.A.問題問“調(diào)查報告說明了什么?”利用問題句中的核心詞survey作為答案線索,被選項中出現(xiàn)了大量可以用作答案線索的結(jié)構(gòu): A: many poor Americans, B: twenty percent Americans, C: fifty percent Americans, $ 150,000, D:twenty three percent Americans, $ 25,000,利用這些結(jié)構(gòu)共同作為答案線索,在文章中找到答案相關句(在第4段)
    “Clean your plate and!” “Be a member of the clean-plate club!” Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent.often,its accompanied by an appeal:“Just think about those Starving orphans in Africa!”Sare,we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites3.Instead of staying “clean the plate”, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
     According to news reports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story4.Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
     (第3題的答案相關句) Barbara Rolls,a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion Sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.
     Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed(被調(diào)查的) (問題句中的線索詞)believe(相信) restaurants serve(提供) portions that are too large(大的);23 percent had no opinion(意見, 主張);20 percent disagreed(不同意).But a closer(更靠近的,更仔細的) look at the survey (問題句中的線索詞) indicates(顯示) that many Americans who can′t afford(買不得起...) fine (精美的)dining (食物, 吃飯)still prefer(更喜歡) large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.
    選項A (許多美國窮人希望食物量大)是答案, 選項A與第4段中的句子意義一致:But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining (與many poor Americans呼應)still prefer large portions(但是如果再仔細看看調(diào)查結(jié)果, 你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)很多買不起精美菜肴的美國人還是喜歡大分量的食物)
