B.areportonyourbodyshapeandfavoritefood

C.howbodyshapeisdeterminedbythearrangementofyour

D.howbodyshapehassomethingtodowithyourtastebuds

答案:D［解析］文章并没有谈论如何减肥，所以排除A项：文章虽然

涉及到体形与饮食偏好的关系，但并未涉及关于二者关系的任何报告,

只是提到他们做的有关研究，所以排除B项；文章第一段最后一句话

提到科学家认为一个人的体形暗示出他的大多数味蕾有可能分布在

他舌头上的哪一个部位，但并没有说味蕾的分布情况决定体形，所以

排除C项；文章第一段明确指出，科学家认为一个人的体形暗示出

他的大多数味蕾有可能分布在他舌头上的哪一个部位；由于味蕾分布

与饮食偏好有密切关系，所以第二段详细指出不同体形的人有什么不

同的饮食偏好；由此可看出，本文主要谈论体形与味蕾的关系，故选

De

B.theectomorphsenjoymostfood

C.CatherineCollinsisanexpertinbodyshape

D.Peoplewhoenjoymostfoodhavetroubleinlosingweight

答案:D［解析］根据文章最后一句可知，大部分食物都喜欢的人会更

胖一些，胖型体质者往往认为减肥很难。所以，D项为正确答案。

3.Itisuncertainthat.

A.howmanybodyshapesthereare

B.howthetastebudsarrangeonyourtongue

答案:D［解析］根据最后一段"Itisdifficulttodictatewhether-our

bodyshapedictatesthefoodwelike,orthefoodwelike

dictatesbodyshape"可知，很难断定是我们的体形决定我们喜欢

吃的食物，还是我们喜欢吃的食物决定我们的体形，也就是说，"我

们最喜欢吃的食物是否决定了我们的体形"这是尚未确定的，故选D。
