问题     A third of office workers would rather grab a few minutes【C1】______sleep than breakfast, according to a survey that estimated poor eating habits were costing companies dearly in terms of lost【C2】______.
    A survey by Ipsos Mori found 17 percent of British office workers never have breakfast and 17 percent have it just one to three times a week.
    It found eight percent of 1,051 office staff questioned also【C3】______skip lunch, with these poor eating habits estimated to be costing companies 17 billion pounds($34 billion)a year or 97 million lost working days.
    "Worryingly, of those who【C4】______or never eat lunch, 27 percent also never eat breakfast during the working week," said Ipsos Mori researchers in a statement.
    The survey, commissioned by food service company BaxterStorey,【C5】______skipping breakfast cost companies 8.1 billion pounds or 46.5 million lost working days, with many studies finding a link between eating breakfast and attention【C6】______, learning ability and general well-being.
    When other poor eating habits such as having no breakfast and lunch or having no breakfast and snacks, are included, lost productivity【C7】______to nearly 17 billion pounds.
    The survey found most employees—percent—have lunch, with 68 percent opting for sandwiches, but most people don’t drink enough during the day. Only 11 percent had the【C8】______eight or more drinks during the working day.
    "People who eat breakfast have better concentration, problem solving ability, mental performance, memory and mood.
    People who eat breakfast are also more【C9】______energetic and have better coordination," said nutrition specialist Matt Barker.
    "Research tells us that scores on memory tests were about 15 percent lower in people who skipped breakfast. And those who skip it tend to eat sugary, fatty foods later in the day,【C10】______their productivity."
A)physically B)rarely C)estimated D)target
E)mentally F)recommended G)reducing H)adequate
I)regularly J)extra K)specified L)enhancing
M)productivity N)span O)rocketed
【C10】
选项
答案G
解析 空前句结构完整，空后是名词their productivity．则此处应填一个动词的现在分词形式，表伴随意义。根据此段内容“研究人员称，不吃早餐的人记忆力测试得分约低15％。而且早上不吃饭的人之后可能会吃甜食和高脂肪食品……”，可知，前后两甸是递进关系，故此句应为否定意义，即“降低他们的效率”，G项reducing意为“减少”，符合句意。因此选择reducing“减少”。
