问题    It has long been known that high-calorie food can act as a balm (镇痛软膏) for anxiety and bad moods, but now a series of new studies published in Psychological Science【D1】______that high-calorie food may be a balm for economic anxiety, too, and one that we are prepared to apply whenever we perceive【D2】______in the world.
   In one of the experiments, people who were exposed to words suggesting tough times, like "disaster", "suffer" and "struggle", were prompted to eat more high-calorie food and【D3】______low-calorie food than a control group did—even though these words were in the background, on a poster, and not【D4】______understood. Taste didn’t come into it: neither did pleasure. "The cues I used did not change people’s【D5】______," says lead author Juliano Laran, a University of Miami marketing professor who【D6】______in consumer psychology and self-control, "and I specifically found that people were not looking for pleasure, but rather for food items that can【D7】______them fed for longer periods of time."
   The inspiration for the studies came from New York City’s policy of posting calorie counts in restaurants, which Laran noticed did nothing to【D8】______the consumption of high-calorie food. "This signaled," he says, "that misinformation was not the【D9】______issue, that there was something else【D10】______on."
A) decrease F) main K) psychological
B) directly G) mind L) specializes
C) going H) mood M) succeeds
D) keep I) occasionally N) suggests
E) less J) pleasure O) trouble
【D3】

选项

答案E

解析 根据句子结构可知,low-calorie food前面缺少一个形容词作定语。空格所在句指出,与对照组人群相比,那些接触到如“灾难”“受苦”和“挣扎”这些表示艰难时期词汇的人,被激起去吃更多高热量的食物和______低热量的食物。该句中有两个表示对比关系的名词短语,即more high-calorie food和______low-calorie food,而与more“较多的”意思相反的形容词就是less“较少的”,故E)为答案。
