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.
【C5】

选项 A、less
B、more
C、longer
D、lower

答案A

解析 上句提到研究者用行为追踪器来对志愿者的睡眠模式进行研究,本句描述他们的睡眠时长。句中出现两个时间段,由空格后的or more than 8.5 hours可知,此半句应该是和more than相反的状态。因此用A项less。此处需填入和more than相反意义的词语,故可排除B项more和C项longer。D项lower“更低的”不能用于修饰时间段。
