问题     If you want to lose weight, but are not a fan of the gym, the results of a new study could offer a welcome alternative. People who wake up and go to bed at the same time every day are【C1】________than those with irregular sleep patterns, the study found. Researchers studied more than 300 women and found that those with the best—or most consistent—sleeping【C2】________had less body fat.
    The volunteers were【C3】________for body composition, and then were given an activity tracker to【C4】________their movements during the day, and their sleep patterns at night. The study found that getting【C5】________than 6.5 hours, or more than 8.5 hours, sleep a night is【C6】________higher levels of body fat. Women with more than 90 minutes of variation in sleep and wake time during the week had higher body fat levels than those with less than 60 minutes of variation.
    Exercise science professor Bruce Bailey said【C7】________ sleep quality can result in higher body fat【C8】________affecting the hormones levels【C9】________to appetite. He said: "We have these【C10】________clocks and throwing them off and not【C11】________them to get into a pattern does have a(an)【C12】________on our physiology." He says there are ways to【C13】________sleep quality, such as【C14】________exercise, keeping your bedroom quiet and dark, and using beds only for sleeping. "Sleep is often a casualty of trying to do more and be better and it is often【C15】________," Professor Bailey said.
    Previous research from Temple University revealed that when people get a good night’s sleep they don’t feel so【C16】________. They found that when children slept more, they【C17】________134 fewer calories a day and lost weight. These findings were supported by research from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota which also revealed that sleep【C18】________people eat more calories. The researchers studied 17 healthy young people and found that when they slept less they ate more. They believe this is【C19】________when the volunteers were tired, they had higher levels of the hormones leptin and ghrelin, both of which are【C20】________appetite.
【C15】
选项 A、emphasized
B、disrupted
C、sacrificed
D、retrieved
答案C
解析 前半句提到睡眠通常是人们为更多更好工作的牺牲品(casualty)，后半句由and连接，并且再次出现often一词，说明前后两半句所表达意思相同或相近。因此选C项sacrificed“牺牲”与前半句的casualty互相呼应。A项emphasized“强调”代入句中与原文逻辑相悖，睡眠常常被牺牲用于做其他事，而非被强调。B项disrupted“扰乱”，强调的是某一过程被打断，人们牺牲睡眠来工作不是入睡后被强行中断。D项retrieved“恢复”，上下文无语义线索。
