📖 題組：
Nearly 70% of American adults are overweight; over a third are obese. Grocery shops contain aisle after aisle of salty crisps, sugary drinks and processed snacks. Cues to eat unhealthily abound. But if this is your 16 American diet, argues Dan Buettner in “The Blue Zones: American Kitchen,” a work of anthropological reporting 17 a cookbook, you are looking in the wrong places. Mr. Buettner studies and writes about “Blue Zones,” areas where people tend to live long, healthy lives, with unusually high numbers of 18 and long life expectancy. In this book, he finds the principles of Blue Zone diets—very little meat and processed foods, with most calories coming from whole grains, greens, tubers, nuts and beans—in the cuisines of these demographic groups: Native Americans, the Latinos, and Asian-Americans. The recipes that Mr. Buettner presents do not necessarily represent 19 most people in these groups actually eat. For a variety of reasons, for instance, Native Americans and Latinos suffer higher obesity rates than non-Hispanic whites—which would probably not be the case if they all ate 20 this book recommends. But, historically, each of these groups had healthy cuisines.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文章的第一段，作者提到美國有將近 70% 的成年人過重，且到處都是含糖飲料和加工零食。在這種情況下，如果我們要用一個形容詞來描述這種「被大眾普遍認知的、最能代表當前社會現狀」的飲食模式，你會認為這個詞應該側重於描述它的「古老程度」、「地理特徵」，還是它的「典型代表性」呢？

語境連結與詞義辨析
這道題目的正確答案是 (D) archetypal（典型的、具代表性的）。文章開頭詳細描述了美國成年人過重、商店充斥加工零食與含糖飲料的現狀，這正是大眾心中最「典型」的美國飲食樣貌。作者接著使用轉折語 "but" 告訴讀者，如果你認為這種模式就是美國飲食的「典型範本」，那麼你就找錯地方了（因為還有像「藍色寶地」這類健康的飲食存在）。
