Answer 1

【答案】staying|which| in| comfortable| are exposed| a| compared| One| lower| possibly
【解析】(1)科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)寒冷的環(huán)境可幫助我們減肥。
(1)staying　考查非謂語動詞作主語。句意：科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)待在寒冷的環(huán)境中會有助于我們減肥�！癬_1__(stay)inthe cold”作主語，且表示抽象概念，故用動名詞作主語。
(2)which　考查非限制性定語從句。句意：棕褐色脂肪燃燒熱量，這可以幫助我們減肥。先行詞為前面一句話，關(guān)系詞在定語從句中作主語且表示“事”，故用which引導(dǎo)。
(3)in　考查動詞短語。resultin“引起，導(dǎo)致”。
(4)comfortable　考查形容詞。設(shè)空處后為名詞，故可判斷設(shè)空處應(yīng)用形容詞作temperatures的定語。
(5)are exposed　本題以定語從句的形式考查動詞被動語態(tài)及主謂一致。設(shè)空處為定語從句的謂語動詞，它需與先行詞outdoorworkers(名詞復(fù)數(shù))保持一致；此外outdoor workers與expose“使暴露”為被動關(guān)系，故用被動語態(tài)。綜上所述答案為areexposed。
(6)a　考查冠詞。asignificant amount of為固定搭配，意為：大量的。anamount of后需加不可數(shù)名詞。
(7)compared　考查非謂語動詞作狀語。comparedto為固定搭配，意為：與……相比。
(8) One　考查限定詞。根據(jù)上句的“twodifferent control groups of mice”可判斷此處答案為one。
(9)lower　考查形容詞比較級。根據(jù)語境中的than可判斷此處應(yīng)為形容詞的比較級。
(10)possibly　考查副詞。設(shè)空處在句中作狀語，故用副詞形式。
