Scientists can determine someone’ s favorite food from their body shape. They have discovered that the arrangement of taste buds(舌部味蕾) on the tongue varies for different body types. The scientist team examined 1,000 British adults and divided them into three physiologically recognized body types—ectomorphs, endo-morphs and mesomorphs. They determined that a person’ s body type indicated where they were likely to have the most taste buds on the sweet, bitter or salty areas of their tongue.
The study showed that ectomorphs, who make up one in three of the population, usually have a small delicate shape, have a sweet tooth but hate bitter foods. Mesomorphs, who make up 20 percent of the population, usually have a muscular shape and prefer salty or bitter foods but dislike sweet foods. Half the British population are endomorphy with soft, rounded bodies, and they like most foods. The findings showed that for two in three people food preference was a physiological rather than a psychological Choice.
Body shape expert Simon Bradshaw, who takes charge of this team, said: "It appears that simply by looking at an individual’ s body shape we can make sure about their preferences. " But Catherine Collins, of the British Dietetic Association said:" It is difficult to dictate whether our body shape dictates the food we like, or the food we like dictates body shape. " It stands to reason people who prefer most types of foods will be fatter and people who are the endomorph shape tend to find it more difficult to lose weight. [br] The whole passage is mainly about______.
选项
A、how to lose weight
B、a report on your body shape and favorite food
C、how body shape is determined by the arrangement of your taste buds
D、how body shape has something to do with your taste buds
答案
D
解析
题干意为“全文主要是关于…”。文章并没有谈论如何减肥,所以排除A项;文章虽然涉及到体形与饮食偏好的关系,但并未涉及关于二者关系的任何报告,只是提到他们做的有关研究,所以排除B项;文章第一段最后一句话提到科学家认为一个人的体形暗示出他的大多数味蕾有可能分布在他舌头上的哪一个部位,但并没有说味蕾的分布情况决定体形,所以排除C项;文章第一段明确指出,科学家认为一个人的体形暗示出他的大多数味蕾有可能分布在他舌头上的哪一个部位;由于味蕾分布与饮食偏好有密切关系,所以第二段详细指出不同体形的人有什么不同的饮食偏好;由此可看出,本文主要谈论体形与味蕾的关系,故选D。
