What sort of glass you drink from predicts how fast you drink. "Would you like that in a straight or a jug, sir?" was once a common response to Britishers’ request for a pint in a pub. Like the Lilliputians in Gulliver’s Travels, who argued whether a boiled egg should be opened at the pointed or the rounded end, beer drinkers were adamant that only from their preferred shape of glass did their drinks taste best.
Straight-sided glasses—sometimes with a bulge a little below the lip—have largely won the day. Jugs equipped with handles are now rare. But that is probably because straight glasses are easier for bar staff to collect and

. The shape of a beer glass does, nevertheless, matter. For a group of researchers at the University of Bristol have shown that it can regulate how quickly someone drinks.
Angela Attwood and her colleagues asked 160 undergraduates—80 women and 80 men—to do one of four things: drink beer out of a straight glass; drink beer out of a flute—a tall narrow wineglass; or drink lemonade from one of these two sorts of glass. To complicate matters further, some of the glasses were full whereas others were half-full. What Dr. Attwood and her team were really interested in was how quickly the various drinks would be drunk.
The answer was that a full straight glass of beer was polished off in 11 minutes, on average. A full flute, by contrast, was finished off in seven, which was also the amount of time it took to drink a full glass of lemonade, regardless of the type of vessel. If a glass started half-full, however, neither its shape nor its contents mattered. It was drunk in an average of five minutes.
Though beer flutes are not common in British pubs, her observation that the shape of a glass can affect how fast it is drunk from bears investigation. Both health campaigners and breweries would be interested in the results, though they would probably draw opposite conclusions about what is the best-shaped glass in which to serve a bevvy.
Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this text?
选项
A、The beer in the best-shaped glass tastes best.
B、What sort of glass can affect the speed of drinking.
C、The shape and the contents of a glass matter.
D、Angela Attwood offers us a research about glasses.
答案
B
解析
根据题干关键词需纵观全文,但文章第一段段首就指出了全文主旨,即“喝酒 有多快?看杯子就知道”,第二、三段段末强调了研究的目的——酒杯的形状能够决定喝酒 的快慢,第五段第一句重申了文章的主旨,即“从她的观察报告中可以看出,一个杯子的形 状能够影响喝啤酒的速度”,故B项为正确答案。A项“用杯型最好的杯子喝酒味道才更带 劲”,C项“杯型和装的饮品最重要”,D项“安吉拉-阿特伍德给出一个关于杯子的研究”均 不符合题意,故排除。
