问题     If you want to lose weight, but are not a fan of the gym, the results of a new study could offer a welcome alternative. People who wake up and go to bed at the same time every day are【C1】________than those with irregular sleep patterns, the study found. Researchers studied more than 300 women and found that those with the best—or most consistent—sleeping【C2】________had less body fat.
    The volunteers were【C3】________for body composition, and then were given an activity tracker to【C4】________their movements during the day, and their sleep patterns at night. The study found that getting【C5】________than 6.5 hours, or more than 8.5 hours, sleep a night is【C6】________higher levels of body fat. Women with more than 90 minutes of variation in sleep and wake time during the week had higher body fat levels than those with less than 60 minutes of variation.
    Exercise science professor Bruce Bailey said【C7】________ sleep quality can result in higher body fat【C8】________affecting the hormones levels【C9】________to appetite. He said: "We have these【C10】________clocks and throwing them off and not【C11】________them to get into a pattern does have a(an)【C12】________on our physiology." He says there are ways to【C13】________sleep quality, such as【C14】________exercise, keeping your bedroom quiet and dark, and using beds only for sleeping. "Sleep is often a casualty of trying to do more and be better and it is often【C15】________," Professor Bailey said.
    Previous research from Temple University revealed that when people get a good night’s sleep they don’t feel so【C16】________. They found that when children slept more, they【C17】________134 fewer calories a day and lost weight. These findings were supported by research from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota which also revealed that sleep【C18】________people eat more calories. The researchers studied 17 healthy young people and found that when they slept less they ate more. They believe this is【C19】________when the volunteers were tired, they had higher levels of the hormones leptin and ghrelin, both of which are【C20】________appetite.
【C17】

选项 A、calculated
B、burned
C、gained
D、consumed

答案D

解析 本句给出具体例子来说明睡觉有助于减肥。后半句的lost weight是前半句的结果;之所以能减肥是因为空格后面的原因“……更少的卡路里”。因此所要填入的动词应该是“摄入”,选D项consumed“消耗,吃”。只有摄入更少或消耗更多的卡路里才能减肥,calories一词前有fewer修饰,因此A项calculated“计算”卡路里、B项burned“燃烧”更少的热量都不能达到lose weight的效果。C项gained“获得”。指想得到的、有利的或有利可图的事物,不适用于本句语境。
