Before dipping your hand into that bowl of M&Ms (一种巧克力豆) at the holiday

英语试题 05-02

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新的研究发现,想象自己吃了很多糖果的人在有机会吃下真正的糖果时会吃得更少。故文章建议要想少吃点,想象一下多吃点。
12.B  细节理解题。根据文章第三段中Researchers have found that repeated exposure to a particular food—as in taking bite after bite of it—decreases the desire to consume more. But no one had looked to see whether merely imagining eating has the same effect.(研究人员发现,反复接触一种特定的食物-就像一口接一口地吃-会降低消费更多的欲望。但没有人研究过仅仅想象进食是否也有同样的效果。)以及文章第四段中To find out, Morewedge and his colleagues fed M&Ms and cheese cubes to 50 university students.(为了找出答案,莫尔韦奇和他的同事们给50名大学生喂食了M&M巧克力糖和奶酪方块。)由此可知,莫尔韦奇和他的同事们想从第一个实验中发现想象进食是否会降低食欲。结合选项,故选B。
13.B  词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中In one experiment, the participants first imagined performing 33 repetitive motions (动作): Half of them imagined eating 30 M&Ms ... The other half imagined eating three M&Ms and inserting 30 quarters. Then everyone was allowed to eat their fill from a bowl of M&Ms. It was reported that those who’d imagined eating more candy ate about three on average, while the others ate about five M&Ms.(在一项实验中,参与者首先想象了33次重复动作:其中一半人想象吃了30块M&M巧克力糖。另一半人想象吃三块M&M巧克力糖,然后放入30枚25美分硬币。然后每个人都被允许一碗M&M。据报道,那些想x像吃更多糖果的人平均吃了大约3块,而其他人吃了大约5块M&M。)由此可知,本段主要进行了一个对比试验,故划线词the others指的是上文中的The other half。即那些想象着吃三块M&M的人。结合选项,故选B。
14.D  推理判断题。根据文章第一段中A new study finds that people who imagine themselves consuming many pieces of candy eat less of the real thing when given the chance.(一项新的研究发现,想象自己吃了很多糖果的人在有机会吃下真正的糖果时会吃得更少。)以及文章第四段中It was reported that those who’d imagined eating more candy ate about three on average, while the others ate about five M&Ms.(据报道,那些想吃更多糖果的人平均吃了大约3块,而其他人吃了大约5块M&M。)由此判断出,根据实验结果,想象自己吃的食物和你将要吃的食物是一样的会让你的食欲降低,使你少吃。故选D。
15.C  标题判断题。根据文章第一段中A new study finds that people who imagine themselves consuming many pieces of candy eat less of the real thing when given the chance.(一项新的研究发现,想象自己吃了很多糖果的人在有机会吃下真正的糖果时会吃得更少。)以及分析全文可知,文章都是围绕该内容展开说明的。故C项(To Eat Less, Imagine Eating More)要想少吃点,想象一下多吃点。作为标题,能够概括文章中心。故选C。
