问题     It is common knowledge that healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables contain certain nutrients that promote good health—namely vitamins and minerals that are essential to the body. However, once these compounds enter the body and become digested, do they still possess the same healthful【C1】________? Do they still perform the desired action to create a【C2】________result?
    That is what researchers at Newcastle University recently set out to【C3】________. Scientists analyzed the polyphenols, a type of antioxidant, in green tea to see how they【C4】________the body once digested.【C5】________the polyphenols in tea are known for health benefits, Dr. Ed Okello and his team wanted to better understand how these polyphenols act once【C6】________the body. Their study, which was recently published in the journal, showed that the chemicals【C7】________the breakdown of polyphenols were more effective at promoting health than the polyphenols【C8】________. "There are certain chemicals we know to be【C9】________and we can identify foods which are rich in them but what happens during the digestion process is【C10】________to whether these foods are actually doing us any good," said Dr. Okello.
    The research showed that【C11】________the polyphenols were digested in the gut, the resulting compounds had a greater ability to bind to toxic substances.
    "Green tea has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries and what we have here provides the scientific【C12】________why it may be effective【C13】________some of the key diseases we face today."
    Tea is one of the many common and natural dietary【C14】________in Asian cultures shown by modern science to have【C15】________unique health benefits. Mushrooms are another common food that has been【C16】________for centuries. They are used【C17】________in many cooking, (notably Chinese, Korean, European, Japanese and Indian). They are also used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for their ability to promote immune health. Certain species of mushrooms-have great【C18】________abilities to regulate the immune system and promote【C19】________within the body. These mushroom species【C20】________benefits even after digestion and absorption into the blood stream.
【C16】
选项 A、swallowed
B、cultivated
C、consumed
D、sold
答案C
解析 上文谈到茶对人体的好处，这里以蘑菇为例。C项consumed与食物搭配表示“吃”，且与cooking语义呼应，故正确。A项swallowed指“吞咽”，也可以表示因吃得匆忙而没有怎么咀嚼，不符合本题语境。上文提到茶时均未提到茶的种植及买卖，而蘑菇与茶在文中是并列关系，所以B项cultivated“种植”及D项sold“卖”均没有推断依据。
