    "For many low-income families, an【C1】______$1.50 daily is quite a lot," says Mayuree Rao, "It【C2】______to about $550 more per year per person, and that could be a real【C3】______to healthy eating."
    Rao and her colleagues reached their【C4】______after analysing 27 studies from 10 high-income countries, comparing price【C5】______for healthy versus unhealthy ingredients and diets.【C6】______one study compared the cost of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables versus one that was【C7】______in them.

   【C11】______this, comparisons of whole diets showed that healthier diets cost averagely $1.48 more per day.
    This shows that comparisons based on single ingredients don’t tell the full【C12】______. "It tells us that,【C13】______, it doesn’t cost more to eat healthier based on one nutrient," says Rao. "But there’s growing evidence that the【C14】______of foods in your diet【C15】______your disease risk more than any single nutrient, so we think our【C16】______finding that healthier diets cost about $1.50 more has the most public health【C17】______."
    As to why healthier food has become more【C18】______Rao says that it may be because the food industry organizes itself and the types of food it produces to【C19】______its own economies of scale,【C20】______than what’s best for consumers.
【C18】
选项 A、expensive
B、popular
C、affordable
D、superior
答案A
解析 上文通过比较健康和不健康的食物成分和饮食的价格差异得出的结论是：健康的饮食和食物更贵。从空格所在句的why特殊疑问句和后面的economies of scale“规模经济”(规模经济的最大优势是降低成本)，可推断该句是进而分析健康的饮食和食物更贵的原因，所以选A项expensive。
