【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要以老师Amy、厨师Mike和医生Ted的冰箱为例，来说明人们的冰箱反应了他们的生活方式和饮食习惯。

1.

根据上文We put this to the test by asking three people to open their fridge doors and talk about their lifestyles.可知我们做了一个测试，让三个人打开冰箱门，谈谈他们的生活方式。结合后文Maybe you can recognize your own fridge here!可知也许你能在这里认出你自己的冰箱！由此可知，本句承接上文说明，让这三个人打开冰箱门是为了猜出各自的冰箱归属问题，故B选项“你能猜出哪个冰箱属于哪个人吗？”符合上下文语境，故选B。

2.

根据后文This means we don't eat meat, and any milk or cheese had better be dairy-free.可知这意味着我们不吃肉，任何牛奶或奶酪最好是不含乳制品的。由此可知，老师Amy不吃任何动物制品。故A选项“我和我丈夫不吃任何动物制品”符合上下文语境，故选A。

3.

根据后文Like a lot of chefs I know, I don't really do much cooking at home. Sometimes I bring home food from the restaurant where I work. Once a week we do a big shop and buy a lot of frozen food.可知和我认识的很多厨师一样，我在家不怎么做饭。有时我从我工作的餐馆带食物回家。我们每周都会进行一次大购物，买很多冷冻食品。由此可知，厨师Mike冰箱里的食物主要来自自己工作的餐馆和商店。故D选项“冰箱里的食物来自我的工作场所和商店”符合上下文语境，故选D。

4.

根据上文Sometimes I bring home food from the restaurant where I work. Once a week we do a big shop and buy a lot of frozen food. I know we should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables...可知有时我从我工作的餐馆带食物回家。我们每周进行一次大购物，买很多冷冻食品。我知道我们应该多吃新鲜水果和蔬菜……由此可知，厨师Mike经常买冷冻食品，他们也知道应该多吃新鲜水果和蔬菜，本句说明他们不吃新鲜水果和蔬菜的原因是：对于他们这种忙碌的全职员工来说，即食食品很方便。故C选项“但是即食食品对全职员工来说太方便了”符合上下文语境，故选C。

5.

根据上文There's not enough room to swing a cat in my small apartment, so I don't cook very often. My fridge is usually half empty and I'm often too tired to eat much anyway.可知我的小公寓没有足够的空间，所以我不经常做饭。我的冰箱通常有一半是空的，而且我经常累得吃不饱。由此可知，医生Ted很忙，没有时间做饭，而且经常吃不饱，可推知他会吃一些方便做，但是吃不饱的速食。故G选项“有些晚上我会吃点速食，比如烤面包片，甚至一杯酸奶”符合上下文语境，故选G。
