问题     Today, many people are starving to death. There is a shortage of food and the available food is too expensive for hungry people to buy. Therefore, they go without food, or each day have only one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health.
    Recendy,a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did.
    During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times, but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening,when he ate his one meal,he ate quickly and consumed a large amount. During the next five days,although he was not hungry during the day,he quickly noticed every food stall. And the smell of food caught his attention. During the third and fourth weeks,he had hunger pains and lack physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite. Without it,he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work.
    This experience changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime, it also gave him strength. He more frequendy noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftover food. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person. He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most importantly, he could now sympathize in a small way with the starving people of the world.
At first, when he was hungry he found that a glass of water______.
选项 A、got rid of his thirst
B、could remove his hunger
C、hardly produced any effect
D、only made him feel hungrier
答案B
解析 根据第三段的第一句“During the first five days he was hungry…went away．”后半句可知他喝杯水之后，饥饿感就消除了。与选项B表达的含义一致，故选B。
