问题     Eating healthily costs about $1.50 more per person daily, according to the most thorough review yet of the affordability of a healthy diet.
    "For many low-income families, an【C1】________$1.50 daily is quite a lot," says Mayuree Rao, "It【C2】________to about $550 more per year per person, and that could be a real【C3】________to healthy eating."
    Rao and her colleagues reached their【C4】________after analysing 27 studies from 10 high-income countries, comparing price【C5】________for healthy versus unhealthy ingredients and diets.【C6】________one study compared the cost of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables versus one that was【C7】________in them. Another compared prices of【C8】________healthy and less healthy items, such as wholegrain versus white bread.
    Individual items were【C9】________matched in price. Meats【C10】________the largest difference: healthier options cost an average of 29 cents per serving more than unhealthy options.
    【C11】________this, comparisons of whole diets showed that healthier diets cost averagely $1.48 more per day.
    This shows that comparisons based on single ingredients don’t tell the full【C12】________. "It tells us that,【C13】________, it doesn’t cost more to eat healthier based on one nutrient," says Rao. "But there’s growing evidence that the【C14】________of foods in your diet【C15】________your disease risk more than any single nutrient, so we think our【C16】________finding that healthier diets cost about $1.50 more has the most public health【C17】________."
    As to why healthier food has become more【C18】________Rao says that it may be because the food industry organizes itself and the types of food it produces to【C19】________its own economies of scale,【C20】________than what’s best for consumers.  
【C9】
选项 A、barely
B、closely
C、slightly
D、perfectly
答案B
解析 上文提到，有的研究对单个的健康和次健康食品进行了价格上的比较，下文接着说肉类的价格差别最大——平均相差29美分，换言之，即便差别最大的肉类也仅相差29美分，即单一食品的价格差距很小。据此空格处选B项closely“相近地”。A项barely“几乎不”和C项slightly“轻微地”代入空格。分别表示“价格几乎不匹配”和“价格匹配度低”，即价格之间差距极大，这与下文“肉价”的例子相矛盾。D项perfectly表示“完全地”匹配，即价格之间没有任何差异，也与“肉价”的例子不相符。
