问题     Are wine drinkers healthier than beer drinkers? If that is the case, it may have less to do with their choice of drink than with what they eat with it.
    A new study found that shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low-fat cheese than beer buyers, who were more in favour of things like chips. Studies have linked a moderate amount of alcohol use with better health, and this is especially true when it comes to wine, which has components that may help prevent cancer and cardiovascular (心 血管的) disease. Still, it is possible that whatever health benefits wine drinkers enjoy actually result from overall better diets, some studies have suggested.
    The problem for researchers has been getting an accurate reading on people’s diets in general and alcohol use in particular. Those being surveyed often understate their alcohol use and overstate their consumption of healthy foods. So for this study, the researchers tracked the sale of wine and beer over a six-month period at 98 supermarkets, and then looked at what kinds of food the shoppers bought. One auther, Dr. Morten Gronbaek, said the researchers had expected to find differences in buying patterns, but not to the extent that they did.
    There are other reasons wine drinkers may be healthier than beer drinkers, the researchers said. Wine tends to be drunk with food, and in smaller amounts, they noted, possibly affecting how the body metabolizes (使新陈代谢) it. And wine drinkers tend to be better educated and better off financially than beer drinkers, factors that would also help account for their better health.
What makes a wine drinker healthier than beer drinker is mainly due to______.
选项 A、the food they eat that goes with wine
B、the amount they drink every time
C、the less alcohol contained in wine
D、the low fat contained in wine
答案A
解析 本题为综合理解题，要找出喝红酒的人比喝啤酒的人健康的主要原因。从文章的每一段中都可以得到一些信息，如第一段中：“…have less to do with their choice of drink than with what they eat with it．”“…shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low—fat cheese than beer buyers，”；最后—段中“Wine tends to be drunk with food，and in smaller amounts，”。综合这些信息可以得出结论：主要原因与食物和饮用量相关。故选项A．the food they eat that goes with wine为正确答案。选项B．theamount they drink every time在文中提到过，但是与文章较大篇幅描述食物相比较可以发现研究人员更重视食物在与不同酒类搭配时会对身体产生的影响。选项C．the less alcohol contained in wine选项D．the low fat contained in wine在文章中并没有提到。
