【3】B

【4】D

【5】F

【解析】

试题分析: 本文是一篇议论文，讲的是吃饭时应该放慢速度，这样就避免过度饮食，文章从几个角度建议读者应该怎样做，在当下人们快捷生活的节奏下，似乎慢生活也别成了人们关注的热点问题，引导人们健康地生活。

【1】C 首先该空的位置位于首段末，恰好首段内容是阐释Eating slowly的好处，再根据eating slowly is not a decision that you make suddenly可推断出，下文应该说怎样树立这种Eating slowly的观念或者怎样做的问题。

【2】E 该空位于段首，根据下文的内容以及Eating slowly isn't just about slowing down the chewing可以判断该空是讲述关于进食要慢慢咀嚼的问题，该空的突破点是just(不仅仅是)。

【3】B 该空位于段的中间，可以判断应该是一个承上启下的过渡句。根据Take a few deep breaths，exhale(呼气) slowly by the mouth等可以判断出是一个放松的动作，再根据you remove any risk of comfort eating.可以判断是先放松，再进食的一个方法，这样就可以减少一些压力。

【4】D 从前文的 some people believe....可以判断不同人对饭前喝汤来使自己更加有饱腹感的观点持不同的看法，选项中的specialists believe....恰恰可以和上文结构对仗起来。

【5】F 考查对该段的整天理解，该段是作者给读者提一个调节进食速度的方法，就是拿一个表放在桌旁，这样就会减缓进食速度。根据20 minutes on your meal，可以得出这个答案，只有钟表有衡量时间的作用。
