For years, nutritionists have recommended that pasta be kept to a【C1】______, to cut calories, prevent fat build-up and stop blood sugar【C2】______up.
   The low-carbohydrate food movement gave birth to such diets as the Atkins, Paleo and Keto, which advised swapping foods like bread, pasta and potatoes for vegetables, fish and meat. More recently the trend of swapping spaghetti for vegetables has been【C3】______by clean-eating experts.
   But now a【C4】______review and analysis of 30 studies by Canadian researchers found that not only does pasta not cause weight gain, but three meals a week can help people drop more than half a kilogram over four months. The reviewers found that pasta had been unfairly demonized (妖魔化) because it had been【C5】______in with other, more fat-promoting carbohydrates.
   "The study found that pasta didn’t【C6】______to weight gain or increase in body fat," said lead author Dr John Sievenpiper.

选项
答案 E
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于助动词didn’t之后，其后是介词to，应与其构成谓语，后接宾语weight gain。由前文可知，以往意大利面这类碳水化合物含量高的食品被误当成减肥的禁忌，而本段所分析的研究与此看法相反，认为意大利面不会导致体重增加，故E)contribute与介词to搭配，表示“导致”，故为答案。剩余的动词原形选项intimate、ration和subscribe均与原文意义不符，故均排除。
