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 A
解析 该空格位于不定冠词a和形容词net之后，由此推断应填入一个名词，且该名词还被其后of引出的介词短语所修饰。根据上文可知，外出就餐的成年人，无论是在快餐店还是在拥有全方位餐桌服务的餐厅，所摄入的卡路里、糖、饱和脂肪以及盐都比在家吃饭时多。由此可知，在快餐店吃饭的时候，总能量摄入量、饱和脂肪以及糖和盐都应该是净增长，故答案为increase“增加，增长”。备选项中，reduction“减少，下降”与原文意思相反，而impact“影响，效果”不符合文意，故均排除。
