On a diet? Then consider sitting by the window the next time you eat out.

The researchers measured and mapped 【1】 design of each restaurant and then used meal checks 【2】 (track) what diners ordered and how it related to where they sat.

The results were telling: people sitting 【3】 (far) from the front door ate the fewest salads and 【4】 (be) 73 per cent more likely to order dessert. Those 【5】 (seat) at a dark table ate heavier food and ordered more of it, 【6】 diners sitting at high-top bar tables ordered more salads and fewer desserts.

The darker it is, the more “invisible” you might feel, the less easy 【7】 is to see how much you’re eating and the less guilty you might feel. Seeing the sunlight, 【8】 (passer-by) or trees outside might make you more aware 【9】 how you look, might make you think about walking or might inspire you to choose a green salad.

The researchers also noted that slim diners chewed around 15 times per mouthful, three chews more than heavier diners. By 【10】 (eat) more slowly, the diner spends less time it takes for the brain to feel full.

試題分析：題目主要考查學(xué)生對(duì)名詞、介詞、連詞、固定短語(yǔ)、固定句型、過(guò)去分詞、形容詞最高級(jí)、不定式等基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)的掌握情況。

【1】考查名詞。 design of each restaurant每家飯店的設(shè)計(jì)風(fēng)格，the+名詞+of，意為“......的......”，故填the。

【2】考查不定式表目的。and then used meal checks (track)研究人員然后用菜單來(lái)追蹤顧客所點(diǎn)的飯菜和他們所坐位置的關(guān)系，這里表示目的，故填to track。

【3】考查形容詞最高級(jí)。根據(jù)“ate the fewest salads”可知，這里說(shuō)的是坐在離前門(mén)最遠(yuǎn)的顧客，故填farthest/furthest。

【4】考查主謂一致。and連接兩個(gè)并列的動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)，主語(yǔ)是people，謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)，根據(jù)“The results were telling”可知用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故填were。

【5】考查過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)。seated就坐的，坐著的，相當(dāng)于sitting，在此是形容詞化的過(guò)去分詞，表示“坐著”的狀態(tài)，故填seated。

【6】考查連詞。句子前后對(duì)比了“Those (seat) at a dark table”和“diners sitting at high-top bar tables”的兩種場(chǎng)合的顧客的點(diǎn)菜情況，while意為“然而”，表示對(duì)比；這里也可看作是由and連接的兩個(gè)分句，故填while/and。

【7】考查固定句型。the+比較級(jí)，the+比較級(jí)，意為“越......，就越......”，it is+形容詞+to do sth做某事怎么樣，it是形式主語(yǔ)，不定式是真正的主語(yǔ)，故填it。

【8】考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。passer-by是一個(gè)合成詞，復(fù)數(shù)是在passer后加s，故填passers-by。

【9】考查固定短語(yǔ)。be aware of sth知道，了解，故填of。

【10】考查介詞。by通過(guò)，后跟名詞或動(dòng)名詞，故填eating。
