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.
From Paragraph Two we learn that some studies found______.
选项 A、an overall better diet could bring wine drinkers health benefits
B、people who drink beer were likely to get rid of cancer and heart diseases
C、a small amount of alcohol would lead to a better health of beer drinkers
D、shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were usually better off financially
答案A
解析 本题为综合理解题。文章第二段主要讨论了红酒购买者的购买习惯、少量饮酒对身体的好处以及红酒饮用者整体较好的饮食结构等。因此选项A．an overall better diet could bring wine drinkers health benefits与文章相对应，是正确答案。选项B和选项C中都涉及到啤酒饮用者具体行为，这在第二段中并未提及，因此都不正确。选项D．shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were usually better off financially的内容虽然正确，但却出现在第四段，不是第二段所讨论的内容。
