问题     Including a few bites of meat in the diets of poor children from developing countries improves both their health and their performance in mental tests, according to reports presented at this year’s annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
    In one study from rural Kenya,【C1】______found that children who ate【C2】______ounces of meat every day, along with their lunch of corn and beans,【C3】______better in problem-solving tests【C4】______children given supplements of milk or vegetable oil. This small【C5】______of meat gave children all their daily needs【C6】______vitamin B12, 68 percent of all they needed of zinc, and 26 percent of their daily iron【C7】______, the researchers noted.
    Dr. Howarth Bouis of the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington D. C, told Reuters Health that research【C8】______children who don’t get enough iron, zinc and other【C9】______have a weakened immune system,【C10】______growth and cognitive impairments. And when entire generations of children aren’t getting enough nutrients,【C11】______can have implications nationwide, Bouis added.【C12】______, the World Bank estimates that micronutrient deficiencies【C13】______South Asia 5 percent of its GDP each year, he said. "When you can’t work【C14】______hard, you can’t think as well. It【C15】______from economic development, " Bouis said.
    He added that children in【C16】______countries don’t get enough nutrients【C17】______they can’t afford them, so it’s up to the government to【C18】______.

【C1】
选项 A、investigators
B、reporters
C、scientists
D、students
答案A
解析 第二段就报告的具体内容进行了一些解释。空格处是要填谁通过调查研究发现了这个结果。我们通过读后面的文章可以看到第二段末尾明确说the researchers noted。分析四个选项：[B]reporters“通讯员”以及[D]students“学生”显然不符合题意，可以首先排除；[C]scientists“科学家”，研究人员并不一定都是科学家，因此[C]scientists也不够准确；[A]investigators有“研究员”的意思，与researchers意义最相近，因此最符合题意，是答案。
