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】______. For instance, the government could【C19】______programs that increase production of nutrient-rich foods, which【C20】______down the price, Bouis suggested.
【C5】
选项
A、piece
B、sum
C、quantity
D、amount
答案
D
解析
通过分析可知空格处所在的句子中的this指代的是上文中提到的usual ounces of meat,这是一定量的肉,而不是具体的一片或一块肉。由此首先排除[A]piece“块,片”。再来分析其他几个选项:[B]sum“集合,总计”,常常指金额的总数或将数字相加后得到的总数;[C]quantity“数量”多用于表示可数名词的“量”,因此这两个选项修饰meat显然都不合适。[D]amount“数量,数字;总数”,表示一般意义的数量,可修饰不可数名词,符合题意要求,因此为答案。
