Question

6．Perhaps you don't know that your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan．
  Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark 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 flood the place with brightness．
  Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites．In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red 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．
    Don't forget the clock-or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and 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．
    Downsize the dishes，Big serving 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．

解答 29--32 DCBC
29．D 推理判断题．本题是在考查考生是否理解了4条建议．第4段People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals．，说明吃得慢就吃得少，吃得快就多，故A错；If you need some help slowing down，turning on relaxing music．说明放舒缓的音乐可以让人吃得慢，反之则快，故B错；第二段Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，由此可知房间暗会增加饮食，所以C错；最后一段When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入） jumps by 14 percent．用大勺和小勺吃饭，相差14%，故选D．
30．C 细节理解题．根据第三段第二句话In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room．可知在蓝色的房间内人吃的食物相对在黄色或者红色房间少33%．暖色让人胃口大开，冷色让人感觉到不饿．故选C．
31．B 主旨大意题．根据文章的开头Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．you can make your environment work for you instead of against you．可知，你的家居环境既可以让你变胖也会让你变瘦．本文非常适合那些想减肥的人士来阅读，所以选B可以更好地概括全文．故选B．
32．C 推理判断题．根据第一段Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan．可知，要让你的家的设计成为你减肥计划的一部分，所以这篇文章对那些在乎自己的体型的人更有帮助．故选C．
