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】______.
    Unlike their evening alter-egos, morning snackers tend to be more health【S5】______, looking for low-calorie foods with more fiber, antioxidants (抗氧化剂) and whole grains. For instance, General Mills introduced its 140-calorie Fiber One bars in 2007, but recently added three more flavors as well as 90-calorie versions.
    This may be new in the U. S. , but second breakfast is【S6】______in countries such as Germany. In Bavaria, a traditional second breakfast【S7】______of white sausages, -pretzels (脆饼干) , sweet mustard and, of course, beer.
    But snackers, beware: Though spreading calories across several meals is generally accepted to be healthier, it can actually cause people to over-consume and gain weight, David Levitsky, a professor of nutrition and psychology at Cornell University, told the AP.
    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
H) inspire
【S7】
选项
答案D
解析 空格位于名词breakfast和名词white sausages之间，由此推断空格处应填入动词构成一个主谓宾结构。空格后为介词of，根据句意推断，巴伐利亚传统的加餐包括白香肠、脆饼干等，因此空格处填入consists，和of构成短语，意为“由……组成”。be made of可表示“由……构成”，但空格前并无系动词，放排除made。
