Question

14．The sounds you make while chewing have a significant effect on the amount of food you eat，a new study has found．The results suggest that people are likely to consume less if they can hear themselves eating．
Researchers at Brigham Young University and Colorado State University have found that your TV，radio and computer are making you fat．Not by bombarding （轟炸） you with food ads （though，they totally are） but by blocking the sounds of your chewing．In a recent study，they found that the noise your food makes while you're eating can have a significant effect on how much food you eat．
"Sound is typically labeled as the forgotten food sense，"adds Ryan Elder，assistant professor of marketing at BYU's Marriott School of Management．"But if people are more focused on the sound the food makes，it could reduce consumption．"
"For the most part，consumers and researchers have overlooked food sound as an important sensory cue in the eating experience，"said study coauthor Gina Mohr，an assistant professor of marketing at CSU．
The team carried out three separate experiments to quantify the effects of food sound on quantity of food consumed during a meal．In one experiment，participants were given snacks to eat while they wore headphones playing either loud or quiet noises．The ones loud enough to mask the sound of chewing made subjects eat more-4 pretzels compared to 2.75 pretzels for the"quiet"group．
In another of their experiments they found that just having people hear chewing sounds through an advertisement can decrease the amount they eat．
Elder and Morh call this the"Crunch Effect"．The main takeaway of their work should be the idea of mindfulness，they said．Being more mindful of not just the taste and physical appearance of food，but also of the sound it makes can help consumers to eat less．
"When you mask the sound of consumption，like when you watch TV while eating，you take away one of those senses and it may cause you to eat more than you would normally．"Elder said．

78．Why do TV，radio and computer make people fat？Because they block the sound of chewing．/Because they mask the sound of consumption．
79．The researchers intended to find out the effects of food sound through experiments by observingthe quantity of food consumed by different groups．
80．What will happen to people if they hear chewing sounds through a food advertisement？They will eat less．/They will reduce their food consumption．/They will decrease the amount they eat．
81．Apart from sound，other sensory cues such astaste and physical appearance of foodmay influence food consumption．

Answer 1

分析 一項新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，咀嚼時發(fā)出的聲音對攝入食物的總量有著顯著影響．該研究結(jié)果顯示，如果人們能聽到自己吃東西時發(fā)出的聲音，則有可能會吃得更少．

解答 78．Because they block the sound of chewing．/Because they mask the sound of consumption．
細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第二段…h(huán)ave found that your TV，radio and computer are making you fat．Not by bombarding you with food ads，but by blocking the sounds of your chewing．可知，電視、廣播和電腦讓人長胖的原因在于他們掩蓋了人們在咀嚼時所發(fā)出的聲音．
79．the quantity of food consumed by different groups．
推理判斷題  根據(jù)第五段…eat more-4 pretzels compared to 2.75 pretzels for the"quiet"group．可知，該團隊是通過觀察不同情況下的食量來研究進(jìn)食聲音對食量的影響情況的．
80．They will eat less．/They will reduce their food consumption．/They will decrease the amount they eat．
細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)第六段…found that just having people hear chewing sounds through an advertisement can decrease the amount they eat．可知，讓人們在吃飯時聽廣告中的咀嚼聲可以減少人們的食量．
81．taste and physical appearance of food
細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)…not just the taste and physical appearance of food，but also of the sound it makes can help consumers to eat less．可知，食物的味道和外形也可以影響人們的食量．
