📖 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
請觀察空格前後的邏輯關係：前半部是動詞「吃」(ate)，後半部是「這本書的建議」(this book recommends)。如果我們要表達動作是「遵循某種準則」或「依照某種方式」來進行時，哪一個連接詞最常用來銜接這種「依照、如同」的語意呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出 (D) 選項，代表你對英文連接詞的靈活語感非常出色。這道題目考察的是 as 作為連接詞，用來表示「依照...」或「如同...方式」的用法。在句子中，「ate as this book recommends」的意思是「依照這本書所建議的方式去飲食」；這裡的 as 引導一個方式副詞子句，用來修飾前面的動詞 ate，說明飲食的準則或方式。
語意連結與結構辨析
這題在語法設計上具有相當的鑑別度，屬於中等難度的考點。許多學習者在作答時，可能會猶豫是否該選 (C) which 來當作受詞，但若填入 which，語意會變成「吃掉這本書所推薦的（那個東西）」，雖然文法勉強湊合，但在這種論述飲食習慣（diet）的語境下，使用 as 來強調「遵循某種飲食模式」會顯得更加地道且通順。你能不被其他介係詞干擾，正確捕捉到作者想要表達的「依循關係」，這表示你對文章脈絡的掌握非常細膩，請繼續保持這種對文字細節的觀察力！
