Question

5．Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat．Often you eat not because you are hungry，but because you are affected by many other things．How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat．People eating alone eat least．People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home．People dining in a party of four eat 75percent more．Eating with overweight friends？You'll eat more．Is your waitress overweight？
You'll eat more．Wide variety of food？You'll eat more．
    Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes．If people ate it off a paper plate，they'd say，"This is good．"If they ate it off a fancy silver plate，they would say，"This is the greatest cake I've eaten in my entire life．"
    Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat．You tend to eat more when you think the food is good，and less when you think it is bad．So Grandma's cookies always taste better than other cookies．"Good food"even has a"health halo（光環(huán)） effect"．If we're eating something healthy，we feel that everything in that meal is healthy．Due to this，people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories （卡路里） than the cheese cake alone．That's perhaps also why eating organic （有機(jī)的） food might turn you into an annoying guy．Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behaviour．
    Food and hunger affect your judgment too．Hungry judges give more serious sentences．Kids who don't eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast．People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions．
28．What is mentioned as a cause of overeating？D

Answer 1

分析 本文主要介紹了現(xiàn)代人很難控制他們的食欲．通常他們吃不是因?yàn)樗麄凁I了，而是受到很多因素的影響．過(guò)度飲食的一個(gè)原因是和很多人一起吃．此外，盤(pán)子和對(duì)食物好或壞知識(shí)的了解等都會(huì)影響吃的多少．

解答 28．D推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home．People dining in a party of four eat 75percent more．可知和另外一個(gè)人一起吃會(huì)多于在家吃的35%；四個(gè)人一起吃會(huì)多吃75%．由此推知，過(guò)度飲食的一個(gè)原因是和很多人一起吃．故選D．
29．A句意理解題．根據(jù)第三段That's perhaps also why eating organic （有機(jī)的） food might turn you into an annoying guy．Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behaviour．可推斷出一個(gè)討厭的人是一個(gè)為自己吃過(guò)量找借口的人．故選A．
30．C細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions．可知低血糖的人更有可能不專(zhuān)注以及無(wú)法控制他們不開(kāi)心的情緒，因而更有可能做出錯(cuò)誤的判斷．故選C．
31．B主旨大意題．文章第一段便可看出本文大意"Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat．Often you eat not because you are hungry，but because you are affected by many other things．"現(xiàn)代人很難控制他們的食欲．通常他們吃不是因?yàn)樗麄凁I了，而是受到很多因素的影響．下文介紹影響人們過(guò)度飲食的因素，故"什么影響吃？"作為本文的標(biāo)題最合適．故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文考察學(xué)生的理解推斷能力以及細(xì)心程度，只要抓住文章的關(guān)鍵詞，采用尋讀的方法查找細(xì)節(jié)，就能找到正確答案．
