What sort of glass you drink from predicts how fast you drink. "Would you like that in a straight or a jug, sir?" was once a common response to Britishers’ request for a pint in a pub. Like the Lilliputians in Gulliver’s Travels, who argued whether a boiled egg should be opened at the pointed or the rounded end, beer drinkers were adamant that only from their preferred shape of glass did their drinks taste best.
Straight-sided glasses—sometimes with a bulge a little below the lip—have largely won the day. Jugs equipped with handles are now rare. But that is probably because straight glasses are easier for bar staff to collect and

. The shape of a beer glass does, nevertheless, matter. For a group of researchers at the University of Bristol have shown that it can regulate how quickly someone drinks.
Angela Attwood and her colleagues asked 160 undergraduates—80 women and 80 men—to do one of four things: drink beer out of a straight glass; drink beer out of a flute—a tall narrow wineglass; or drink lemonade from one of these two sorts of glass. To complicate matters further, some of the glasses were full whereas others were half-full. What Dr. Attwood and her team were really interested in was how quickly the various drinks would be drunk.
The answer was that a full straight glass of beer was polished off in 11 minutes, on average. A full flute, by contrast, was finished off in seven, which was also the amount of time it took to drink a full glass of lemonade, regardless of the type of vessel. If a glass started half-full, however, neither its shape nor its contents mattered. It was drunk in an average of five minutes.
Though beer flutes are not common in British pubs, her observation that the shape of a glass can affect how fast it is drunk from bears investigation. Both health campaigners and breweries would be interested in the results, though they would probably draw opposite conclusions about what is the best-shaped glass in which to serve a bevvy.
How long did it take to drink a full flute of lemonade?
选项
A、Four minutes.
B、Five minutes.
C、Seven minutes.
D、Eleven minutes.
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第四段。该段指出使用不同杯型的酒杯喝光饮品的速 度,其中第二句中的非限定性定语从句指出“这也是一满杯子的柠檬汁被喝光的时间,不 管用哪种杯子”,定语从句修饰的是前面的seven(7分钟),故C项为正确答案。文中未提及 A项的信息。B项信息位于第四段末句,是喝完半杯饮品需要的平均时间。D项信息位于第 四段首句,是喝完满满一杯用净饮杯盛的啤酒需要的平均时间,故排除。
