答案解析
28.C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males. The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non-food images. The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to.”可知，Uher博士比较了男性和女性在面对不同图片时大脑的'反应是否一样来得出的结论。故选C。
29.D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中“But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure.”可知，女性对于食物的强烈反应，一方面原因来自于女性在社会中所承受的巨大压力，食物对她们来说可能是一种安慰。故选D。
30.B
【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“If the female brain reacts to food because it historically has developed neural(神经的) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.”可知，食物可以带给女性安慰，因此女性伤心难过的时候会吃东西。故选B。
31.D
【解析】观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的)differences or a learned process.”可以看出，Angelo del Parigi对Uher博士的研究结果持怀疑的态度。故选D。
【备注】如果一个女人吃了一块额外的蛋糕，不要把它归咎于她嘴馋贪吃，应归咎于她的大脑。科学家们发现，女性的大脑和男性对食物的反应非常不同，比男性更强烈。
