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】______.

    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

【S3】
选项
答案A
解析 根据句意，在早上吃点心的人数在2008到2018年问将会增加23％，而在下午和晚上吃点心的人在此十年间则会增加20％和15％，因此此处是对不同时段吃点心的人数增加进行了一个比较，而该空格位于介词with之前，因此判断空格处应填入compared“与……相比”。connected意为“联系”，意义与原文不符，故排除。
