参考译文:人们应该通过尝试吃多种食物来实现饮食多样化的建议,几十年来在美国和其他地方一直是一项基本的公共卫生建议。
定位线索:题干“standard piece of dietary advice for decades”→答案句“basic public health recommendation for decades”;文中“aim for dietary diversity by trying to eat a variety of foods”对应选项C“diversify what they eat”。
解析:题干问几十年来标准的饮食建议是什么,答案句直接指出“aim for dietary diversity by trying to eat a variety of foods”是基本的公共卫生建议,即多样化饮食,对应选项C。选项A“培养健康饮食习惯”范围过大,选项B“均衡饮食”未提及,选项D“限制卡路里”是后文新研究的观点,答非所问。

- D. Unhealthy food makes people gain weight more easily.
答案:A
答案句:Researchers reviewed all the evidence published related to dietary diversity and saw a correlation between dietary diversity and a greater intake of both healthy and unhealthy foods. This had implications for obesity, as researchers found a greater prevalence of obesity amongst people with a greater dietary diversity.
参考译文:研究人员回顾了所有已发表的与饮食多样性相关的证据,发现饮食多样性与摄入更多健康和不健康食物之间存在相关性。这对肥胖有影响,因为研究人员发现饮食多样性更高的人群中肥胖患病率更高。
定位线索:题干“new research by the American Heart Association”→答案句“Researchers reviewed all the evidence”;文中“greater intake of both healthy and unhealthy foods”对应选项A“tend to eat more”;文中“greater prevalence of obesity”对应选项B“more likely to become overweight”。
解析:题干问新研究发现什么,答案句指出饮食多样性与摄入更多食物相关,且肥胖患病率更高,对应选项A和B。但选项A直接对应“greater intake”,而选项B是“肥胖患病率更高”的转述,两者都正确,但题目为单选,需注意选项A更直接。选项C与原文“greater intake of unhealthy foods”矛盾,选项D“不健康食物”未直接提及,偷换概念。
