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.  
【C3】

选项 A、barrier
B、bargain
C、fortune
D、benefit

答案A

解析 文章一开始提出要做到饮食健康每人每灭大约要多花1.50美元,第2段针对low.income families分析到这些多花的钱累加起来是一个不小的数日(quite a lot),据此可推断按每年计算,这笔多花的钱可能会影响或妨碍到人们的健康饮食,故选A项barrier“障碍”。B项bargain表示“便宜货,特价商品”,与上文quite a lot的语义相反。C项fortune“财富”,从搭配来看,通常后面可接for sb.,不接to sth.。D项benefit“利益”与文章分析affordability“担负能力”没有语义关联,故也排除。
