Unlike their evening alter-egos, morning snackers tend to be more health【C5】________, looking for low-calorie foods with more fiber, antioxidants (抗氧化物) and whole grains.

This may be new in the US, but a second breakfast is【C6】________in countries such as Germany. In Bavaria, a traditional second breakfast【C7】________of white sausages, pretzels (椒盐卷饼), sweet mustard and, of course, beer.
But snackers, beware: Though spreading calories across several meals is generally accepted to be healthier, it can actually cause people to over-consume and gain weight, David Levitsky, a professor of nutrition and psychology at Cornell University, told the AP.
Maybe the trend toward portable, quick-hit breakfasts will【C8】________more people to eat in the morning. According to the Huffington Post, a【C9】________by the NPD Group found that 31 million Americans【C10】________the most important meal of the day.

1.【C1】
G
解析：形容词辨析题。该空格位于比较级指示词than之前，且空格前面是aye，据此推断空格处应填形容词比较级。根据句意，美国人早餐形式的改变一是由于生活方式的变化，二是人们认为少食多餐比三顿大餐________。所给形容词中，是比较级形式的有easier和healthier。easier意为“更容易的”，与文章意思不符，故排除。选项中只有healthier“更健康的”符合句意，故为答案。
2.【C2】
F
解析：动词辨析题。该空格位于名词短语之后，that引导的从句之前，从句子结构上判断空格所在句为“主谓+宾语从句”结构，因此空格处应填入动词作谓语。根据that引导的从句的内容可知，此处表达的是NPD组织对少食多餐这种生活方式的未来情况进行的预测，因此应选择estimates“估计”。
3.【C3】
A
解析：动词辨析题。根据句意，人们在早上吃点心的次数在未来十年将会增加23％，而在下午和晚上吃点心的次数则会增加20％和15％。此处是对在不同时段吃点心的次数增加状况进行的比较，并且该空格位于介词with之前，因此空格处应填入compared，构成短语compared with sth．“与某物相比”。connected作动词时意为“联系；连接”，与句意不符，故排除。
4.【C4】
L
解析：副词辨析题。句中20％和15％两个数字分别对应下午和晚上两个时间段人们吃点心的次数增加的百分比，因此空格处应填入respectively“各自地，依次地”。particularly意为“尤其，特别”，与句意不符，故排除。
5.【C5】
C
解析：形容词辨析题。该空格位于系动词be和比较级指示词more之后，且空格之前的health是名词，故空格处应填一个形容词和more搭配构成比较级。根据句意，早上吃点心的人会选择热量低、纤维和抗氧化物含量高的食物和全麦食物，由此推断这一类人更具有健康意识，因此选择conscious“有意识的”。
6.【C6】
J
解析：形容词辨析题。该空格位于系动词is之后，由此推断空格处应填入形容词作表语。由句意可知，早上加餐在美国很新鲜，但在其他很多国家，如德国，却是________。结合所给形容词，只有necessary“必要的”符合题意，故为答案。
7.【C7】
D
解析：动词辨析题。空格位于breakfast和of white sausages之间，且句子缺少谓语动词，由此推断空格处应填入动词构成主谓宾结构，且所填动词能够与介词of搭配。根据句意，巴伐利亚传统的早上加餐________白香肠、椒盐卷饼等，由此推断空格处应填入consists，和of构成短语consists of…，意为“由……组成”。be made of可表示“由……构成”，但此空格前并无系动词，故排除made。
