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.
According to the first two paragraphs, which of the following is true?
选项
A、Beer drinkers also care about the shape and angle when opening a boiled egg.
B、People prefer to use a glass with a handle when drinking beer.
C、It is hard for jug lovers and their fellow-drinkers to collect jugs.
D、Straight glasses are popular in recent years.
答案
D
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第一、二段。第二段首句提到“净饮杯在今天广受欢迎”,D项中的are popular in recent years是文中have largely won the day的同义复现,故D项为正确答案。A项“喝啤酒的人在打破煮熟的鸡蛋时也关心形状和角度”是对第一段第三句的曲解。第二段第一、二句提到“净饮杯在今天广受欢迎……扎啤杯在今天已经很少见了”,与B项的“人们喜欢用带把手的杯子喝啤酒”无关,故B项错误;C项意为“扎啤杯爱好者和他们的酒友们很难收集到扎啤杯”,原文未提及。
