2.Andrew Engel was completely confused.Just days into his freshman year at Rutgers University,he was sitting in Sociology 101,listening to (16)other students have a discussion.He had no idea (17)what they were talking about.He had done his homework,paid attention to lectures and taken notes,but nothing was familiar."Everyone is so much (18)smarter(smart) than I am,"he thought.It was a foreign feeling,as he'd always been a good student and (19)graduated(graduate) from high school with a 3.9GPA.
The rest of his day progressed like an episode of The Twilight Zone.He got (20)lost(lose),again,on his way to the cafeteria,even though he'd been there a few hours earlier.Back at his dorm,he greeted his roommate with a"Hi,how's it going?"all the while thinking,"What is his name again?"
He was acting (21)like a person with Alzheimer's disease(阿尔茨海默氏病,即老年痴呆病),(22)although/though he was only 17.By the end of September,he'd dropped a class and was studying with (23)a tutor,yet he was still struggling.He decided he had no (24)choice(choose) but to drop out,telling his (25)puzzled(puzzle) parents he wasn't cut out for college.

分析 文章介绍了一位大学新生,中学时以高学分毕业,但进入大学却无法适应大学生活,听不懂老师和同学谈论的内容,表现得像一个老年痴呆症患者,因而打算辍学.

解答 16.other;考查形容词,根据上下文可知Andrew在教室里听着其他学生讨论问题.
17.what;考查连词;引导同位语从句,在句子中充当宾语.
18.smarter;考查形容词的比较级,根据后文的than可知此处应使用形容词比较级.
19.graduated;考查动词的时态,根据上下文可知Andrew上大学之前以高分从中学毕业,所以用过去完成时表示过去的过去,前面已经有had,所以此处可以省略.
20.lost;考查固定 短语,get lost是固定搭配,意为"迷路".
21.like;考查介词,此处like是介词,act like 意为"表现的像…".
22.although/though;考查连词,这是一个让步状语从句.意为"尽管他只有17岁,但他…",所以用although/though 引导让步状语.
23.a;考查冠词,tutor意为"导师,家庭教师",是可数名词,在文中第一次提到,所以用a 表示"一位".
24.choice;考查名词,no后面跟名词,在语法上等于not a,即no choice=not a choice.
25.puzzled;考查形容词,此处是过去分词形式用作形容词,在句子中作定语,修饰后面的名词parents,意为"困惑的父母".

点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.

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 (轰炸) 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.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS)

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.
