【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What Is Emotional Eating?
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger. Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.
One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce.
Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. It's not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what's going on.
We're all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. That's why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.
Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.
A. Believe it or not, we've all been there.
B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.
C. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.
D. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.
E. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.
F. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.
G. More often, though, it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.

Answer 1

【答案】A；E；G；B；D
【解析】本次七选五依然为常考的说明文，说明了“借吃消愁”的现象及其发生的原因和危害。整体难度不大。

（1）A 本段为总起，引起共鸣，A选项中的“we've all been there.”的意思是我们都曾经在不开心时候通过吃东西发泄，接下来马上就举了几个例子，因此A正确。

（2）E 本段讲解“借吃消愁”的原因，选项E 是下面观点的一个总起，接下来具体地说明原因，因此合适。选项中what drives 对应文中空后一句中的caused。

（3）G 转折，空前说major life events，G选项中用though进行转折，little daily stresses与其对应。

（4）B 本段用小孩子的举例，前一句说如果小时候孩子被用糖果奖赏，长大就容易保持这样的习惯，B项相应地说如果孩子在哭的时候得到饼干作为安慰，那就会把饼干和安慰联系在一起。B项符合语境。

（5）D 本段讲这样做的危害，D选项也是讲危害。后面的that's why支撑了D项的观点。
