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.
Which of the following is not the factor contributing to better health of wine drinkers?

选项 A、Various buying patterns.
B、Healthy diet.
C、Better education.
D、Better financial background.

答案A

解析 本题为细节题。本题的问题是“下面哪一个不是喝红酒的人身体健康的原因?”。本文中多次提到红酒有利于健康,并且做了一些调查,证明红酒饮用者的饮食结构较好,在最后一段还提到其他一些原因。与文章中的相关细节逐一核对会发现选项A.Various buying patterns.与文章倒数第二段中“…the researchers had expected to find differences in buying patterns,butnot to the extent that they did.”比较后可以看出,这项调查没有成功,因此无法确定这一条是不是原因。选项B.Healthy diet.与文章第二段中“…whatever health benefits wine drinkers enjoy actually result from overall better diets,”一致,可以看作是原因之一;选项C.Better education.和选项D.Better financial background.”与文章最后一段中“…wine drinkers tend to be better educated and better off financially”相一致,也可以看作是原因。所以A是正确答案。
