Sushi(寿司)is no longer the sole preserve of the adventurous diner. These days

问题     Sushi(寿司)is no longer the sole preserve of the adventurous diner. These days, grabbing a pack for lunch is almost as common as picking up a cheese and sandwich. The Japanese dish can be bought from every major supermarket(where sales have risen an astonishing 88 percent in the past two years). Indeed, the British sushi industry—of which Tesco has a 60 percent market share—is worth more than ￡ 56 million annually.
    The main reason for its surge in popularity is its reputation as a healthy meal. Japanese women are among the healthiest in the world, while slender celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Cheryl Cole and Keira Knightley are all fans of the raw fish dish.
    But do sushi’s nutrition credentials(证书)—especially the Western version—stack up? Not always, according to dietitian(营养学家)Rachel Beller. In her book Eat To Lose, Eat To Win, she says a "light lunch" of sushi may mean you overdose on calories and carbohydrates(碳水化合物). "A typical sushi roll contains 290 to 350 calories and has the carbohydrate equivalent of two-and-a-half to four slices of bread," says Ms Beller.
    Bear in mind a sushi lunch contains two or three of these rolls, a total of up to 1 050 calories, and it’s easy to see how we’re conning ourselves that we’re enjoying a low-calorie, healthy lunch.
    Many of us believe eating sushi is a good way to get the officially recommended two portions of fish each week, but here’s the problem: most sushi contains very little protein, despite its expense.
    Health experts say a portion of fish should weigh 140g, but on average, the fish in a California roll(round rolled sushi, containing a small piece of fish)or piece of nigiri(rice with fish balanced on the top)weighs just 5g. You’d need to eat 28 pieces of sushi to reach your 140g portion—or more, if you choose a mixed sushi box containing vegetarian varieties.
    Even "fish" sushi boxes don’t contain much. Marks & Spencer Fish Sushi Selection(191g, ￡4.68)has just 36g of fish, meaning you would have to eat four boxes and consume 1 184 calories to get one of your recommended fish portions. [br] Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
选项 A、How Sushi Can Make Us Fat
B、Sushi Is Popular in Britain
C、Sushi Is Dangerous to Humans
D、What Sushi Is—A Japanese Dish
答案 A
解析 主旨大意题。本文前两段指出寿司的流行及其原因，但文章并没有就这一主题继续展开。第三段把重点锁定在寿司的营养上。通过一系列引证和计算，文章最后得出结论，寿司包含大量的热量和碳水化合物，而类似蛋白质的营养成分并不多，因此可以推断，寿司会让人发胖，故A)为正确答案。
