问题     A study of the physical activity habits of 4,563 adults found that those who said they did the most housework were also the largest. The findings challenge Public Health England and the World Health Organization’s endorsement of household chores (家庭杂务) as a【C1】________ contribution towards a recommended target of 150 minutes of physical activity a week.
    The study, carried out by Professor Marie Murphy and her colleagues at the University of Ulster, found that women and older people were particularly likely to list domestic physical activity as a significant【C2】________of their moderate to vigorous physical activity. But the study found that those who said they did the most were also the largest. Murphy said, "We found housework was inversely (相反地) 【C3】________to leanness, which suggests that either people are overestimating the amount of moderate-intensity physical activity they do through housework or are eating too much to【C4】________for the amount of activity undertaken. "
    Kevin Fenton, director of health and well-being at Public Health England, suggested the study could【C5】________evidence that some people thought they were healthier than they actually were. "At an individual level there may be a【C6】________to overestimate the level of ’ good behavior’ we’re doing and this is reflected when people use food diaries, pedometers (计步器) or Apps to measure more【C7】________what they have achieved. This study may reflect this," he said. But he【C8】________everyday tasks as genuinely useful. He added: "From an individual【C9】________, physical activities such as housework, doing the shopping and walking to collect children from school or to post a letter, can have positive【C10】________on physical and mental well-being.

选项
答案K
解析 动词辨析题。空格前有情态动词could，故确定空格处应填动词原形作从句的谓语。由句意可知，凯文认为。研究________有人高估了自己的实际健康状况的证据。下一句又指出，从个人的层面来看，人们可能高估了他所做的“健康行为”的程度。因此，凯文认为研究更加强化了人们的错误估计。因此，reinforce“加强，强化”为本题的正确答案。
