Question

10．Your house may have an effect on your weight．It is said that the way you design your home could play a part in whether you put on weight or not．1（36）GHere are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan．
（37）EDark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they're in poorly lit places---and so more likely to eat lots of food．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and fill the place with light．
（38）AResearch suggests warm colors help us eat more．In one study，people who ate meals in a yellow or red room consumed 33 percent more than those in a blue room．Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry．So when it's time to repaint，go blue．
（39）CPeople who eat slowly usually use about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals．Try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes．And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．
（40）BBig bowls and plates can easily make us fat．We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent．And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass．
 
A．Mind the colors．
B．Downsize the dishes．
C．Don't forget the clock---or the radio．
D．Get more food full of energy and fiber．
E Open the curtains and turn up the lights．
F．Having meals in your own house is good for your health．
G．You can make your house work for you instead of against you．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述你的房子的环境（光线的明暗、房子的色调等）和就餐的速度对你的体型有很大影响．想要减肥，除了少吃外，还和房间有关系．建议有4条：1．房间要明亮；2．用冷色系会减少食欲； 3．放一些舒缓的音乐就餐；4．用小的碗碟．

解答 36-40：GEACB
36．G上下文衔接题．根据上一句the way you design your home could play a part in whether you put on weight or not．可知房间设计会影响到你是长胖还是减肥；根据下一句 Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan．可知这里有一些方法把你的家变成你的饮食计划的一部分．由此可知，此处填G．You can make your house work for you instead of against you．你可以使你的房子为你工作而不是攻击你．故选G．
37．E联系下文题．根据后文Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，和If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and fill the place with light．可知黑暗的环境中更容易导致暴饮暴食；如果你家里没有足够的光线，要打开更多的灯来照亮家里．由此可知，此处填E．Open the curtains and turn up the lights．打开窗帘，打开灯．故选E．
38．A段落主旨题．根据后文Research suggests warm colors help us eat more．和while cold colors make us feel less hungry．可知研究表明暖色调有助于我们吃的更多，而冷色调会使我们感到饥饿．由此可知，此处填A．Mind the colors．注意你的房间的颜色．故选A．
39．C归纳总结题．根据后文Try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes．可知试图让晚餐至少30 分钟．由此可知，此处填C．Don't forget the clock---or the radio．不要忘记定闹钟或者收音机．故选C．
40．B归纳总结题．根据最后一段介绍，要想少吃，要用小碗小勺，前面介绍说到，吃得快，房间暗会增加饮食，放舒缓的音乐有助于减少饮食的速度和进食量．由此可知，此处填B．Downsize the dishes．用小的碗碟．故选B．
