问题     People consume 200 extra calories a day when eating at a restaurant compared to dining at home, a new study has revealed. Researchers have found that adults who eat out take in more calories, sugar, saturated fat and salt than when they【C1】______in to eat, whether they are at a fast food outlet or a【C2】______restaurant with full table service.
    The study published online by the journal Public Health Nutrition,【C3】______up previous research linking eating out to people consuming more calories. This includes data which shows adults, who reported eating fast food, consumed more calories, fat and salt as well as less fruit, vegetables and vitamins【C4】______to those who don’t eat it.
    The research was conducted by Binh Nguyen of the American Cancer Society and Lisa Powell of Chicago University. They used data from more than 12,000 people aged 20 to 64, who were asked about visits to fast food and table service restaurants on two【C5】______days.
    The study found that on days when eating at a fast-food restaurant, there was a net【C6】______of total energy intake by 194. 49 calories, saturated fat by 3. 48 grams, sugar by 3. 95 grams and salt by 296.38 mgs. Eating at a table-service restaurant was also associated with a higher energy intake with diners consuming an【C7】______205.21 calories, and with higher intake of saturated fat by 2. 52 grams and salt by 451. 06 mgs.
    The study also found individual characteristics moderated the【C8】______of restaurant food consumption. Net energy intake was larger for black adults compared with their white and Hispanic counterparts and greater for middle-income compared to high-income adults.
    Doctor Nguyen said, " Our study confirms that adults’ fast-food and full-service restaurant consumption was【C9】______with higher daily total energy intake and poorer dietary indicators. " The researchers say the larger adverse effect they measured on energy intake for some lower socio-economic and minority populations has policy implications. They say efforts to improve diet and reduce energy intake from restaurant sources could【C10】______help to reduce racial and socio-economic disparities in diets.

选项
答案 O
解析 该空格位于不定冠词a和名词restaurant之间，由此推断应填入一个形容词。空格所在句是一个让步状语从句，该从句用whether…or．．．将前后成分连接起来，表明外出就餐的成年人无论是在什么样的餐厅就餐，所摄入的卡路里、糖、饱和脂肪以及盐都比在家吃饭时多。由此可见，所填词修饰的restaurant与快餐店档次不一样，并且restaurant之后还有介词短语with full table service修饰，表明该餐馆非常正式，故答案为formal“正式的”。备选形容词中local，extra，successive均与上下文语义不符，故排除。
