【解析】文章通過調(diào)查結(jié)果告訴我們充足的睡眠有助于身體健康，還有助于保持身材。

【1】getting

考查動詞形式。句意：多睡覺有幫助，此處是動名詞做主語，故填getting.

【2】to

考查固定搭配。add to“增加，加到”是固定搭配，此處指睡眠不足會增加腰圍，故填to.

【3】to report

考查動詞不定式。此處表示“讓某人做某事”用ask sb. to do sth.后面動詞用不定式作賓補，故填to report.

【4】pressure

考查名詞。此處表示血壓，是名詞。用blood pressure，故填pressure.

【5】It

考查代詞。此處是it作形式主語，后面的that從句是真正主語，故填It.

【6】thicker

考查形容詞比較級。根據(jù)句中than可知此處有比較的意思，用形容詞比較級。故填thicker.

【7】However

考查連詞。句意：研究人員并沒有解釋睡眠不足會導(dǎo)致體重增加的原因，過去的研究表明睡眠不足會導(dǎo)致增加釋放激素。前后句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故填“然而”However.

【8】are

考查主謂一致。句中which指代先行詞hormones是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語動詞與之一致也用復(fù)數(shù)，故填are.

【9】importance

考查名詞。此處由the限定由后面的of修飾用名詞，指獲得足夠睡眠的重要性。故填名詞importance.

【10】differs

考查動詞形式。與句中所給動詞一致用一般現(xiàn)在時，主語是How much sleep是不可數(shù)名詞用單數(shù)，故填動詞的第三人稱單數(shù)differs.
