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 [br] 【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。
