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 C
解析 空格所在句含有两个形容词的比较级more和less，是将吃快餐的成年人与不吃快餐的成年人进行对比，空格处所填词与其后的to those who don’t eat it一起构成比较状语。由此可知，所填词既要表达“比较”的意思，还要引出比较状语，故答案为compared“(与……)比起来”。备选项里还有associated，considers，absorb三个动词，但与上下文语义及此处搭配不符，故均排除。
