1.【C1】(C)

解析:从第一段主题段可知,本文主要讨论饥饿对儿童健康的危害结果。故选C项effects“影响”,以呼应首段的damage。
2.【C2】(B)
A. sustaining
B. tracking
C. training
D. supervising
解析:从本句的主干成分perform the first long-term study(进行了首次长期研究)和后面的时间状语from birth to 21 years(刚出生起直到21岁)可知,该项研究长期跟踪记录了孩子的情况。故选B项tracking“追踪,监测”。
3.【C3】(D)
A. expressed
B. confirmed
C. inferred
D. offered
解析:空格处填入谓语。表明Most studies(大多数研究)与snapshots(快照,这里指童年健康的概况)。故选D项offered“提供”,offer snapshots“提供概况”。
4.【C4】(C)
A. identifying
B. requiring
C. assessing
D. illustrating
解析:空格要填入的动词与宾语the short-term impact of hunger(饥饿的短期影响)搭配,其逻辑主语为Most studies,可推测该动词有“研究”之意。C项assessing“评估”代入后意为“评估饥饿的短期影响”。符合逻辑。
5.【C5】(A)
A. over
B. through
C. on
D. at
解析:空格后的a period of time(一段时间)为持续的时间段,故选A项over“在……期间”。强调事件的发生贯穿于整个这个时间段。
6.【C6】(A)
A. poor
B. weak
C. perfect
D. sound
解析:第一段指出饥饿会对儿童健康产生长期不良影响,那么生活中至少挨过一次饿的儿童长大后的健康状况应该也会不太好。空格处的词应可以回指首段中的ill,故答案应为A项poor“差的”,poor health“健康欠佳”。
7.【C7】(B)
A. fight for
B. go without
C. live on
D. deal with
解析:本句是对两种人进行了比较,一种是那些生活中至少挨过一次饿的,那么另一种应该是没有挨过饿的。故选B项go without“没有”。
8.【C8】(D)
A. in contrast with
B. in front of
C. in case of
D. in terms of
解析:空格前指出“研究显示饥饿和食品危机危害非常大”,根据上下文语义可判断空格后的children’s life chances应为受到damaging的对象。故选D项in terms of“就……而言,在……方面”。
9.【C9】(D)
A. small
B. surplus
C. endless
D. multiple
解析:空格所在句的than表明其前后成分为对比,than后面为an isolated experience,相对应的episodes of hunger应为多次的状况,并能对应冒号后用于进一步解释本句的two or more periods of hunger。故选D项multiple“多个的”。
10.【C10】(C)
A. by
B. to
C. for
D. with
解析:account for“说明”是固定搭配,此处意为“对其他因素做了解释”。故选C项for。
11.【C11】(A)
A. Even
B. Hence
C. But
D. Only
解析:上一段提到“有过两次或多次饥饿经历的儿童比从来没有挨过饿的儿童身体状况差了四倍”,此处提到一次饥饿的经历也会对孩子的健康有深远的影响。前后在意义上为递进关系,故选A项Even“甚至”。
