问题     Waffles? French toast? Bacon? Big breakfasts may be a thing of the past. According to the Associated Press, more Americans are consuming breakfast in stages thanks to on-the-go lifestyles and the belief that multiple, smaller meals are【S1】______than three large ones.
    Serial eating is only expected to increase in the coming years. The NPD Group, a market research company,【S2】______that the number of times people will snack in the mornings will increase 23% between 2008 and 2018,【S3】______with 20% and 15% increases in afternoon and evening snacking,【S4】______.
    Unlike their evening alter-egos, morning snackers tend to be more health【S5】______, looking for low-calorie foods with more fiber, antioocidants (抗氧化剂) and whole grains. For instance, General Mills introduced its 140-calorie Fiber One bars in 2007, but recently added three more flavors as well as 90-calorie versions.
    This may be new in the U. S. , but second breakfast is【S6】______in countries such as Germany. In Bavaria, a traditional second breakfast【S7】______of white sausages, pretzels (脆饼干) , sweet mustard and, of course, beer.

    Maybe the trend toward portable, quick-hit breakfasts will【S8】______more people to eat in the morning. According to the Huffington Post, a 2011【S9】______by the NPD Group found that 10 percent of the U. S. population, or 31 million Americans,【S10】______the most important meal of the day.
A) compared I) made
B) connected J) necessary
C) conscious K) respectively
D) consists L) separately
E) easier M)skip
F) estimates N) supervision
G) healthier O) survey
H) inspire
【S1】
选项
答案G
解析 该空格位于比较级指示词than之前，据此推断空格处应填入形容词比较级形式。根据文意，美国人早餐形式的改变一是由于生活方式的变化，另外就是人们认为复合式的简餐比大餐更加健康，该内容也可从下文第三段中所提到的早餐更加注重健康一点中得到验证。因此判断空格处应选择healthier“更健康”。easier意为“更简单”，意思与文章不符，故排除。
