    It’s long been thought that chillies can help us lose weight. Now, new research has proved the fiery food can【C1】______weight loss by speeding up metabolism(新陈代谢). A study found capsaicin(辣椒素)—the【C2】______that gives chilli peppers their heat—could help burn off fat in the body.
    The【C3】______to eat fatty foods is often so strong that, for many, they can’t resist eating fatty or【C4】______ foods even if they are trying to cut down on calories. Now, researchers believe capsaicin could provide a【C5】______ to this problem: speeding up the metabolism without the need to restrict the diet.
    Researchers from University of Wyoming found capsaicin may stimulate the body to burn energy and create heat—burning off calories in the process. It does this by activating receptors in the body which set off the process of energy burning.
    These receptors are found in white and brown fat cells. In the body, white fat cells 【C6】______up calories and store them as fat—the【C7】______ type visible in pot bellies, love handles and shaky thighs that is the enemy of dieters. It is known as "bad" fat for this reason. Brown fat, found in small amounts on the shoulders and neck, actually burns fat to heat the body—and is therefore known as "good" fat.
    The researchers found that capsaicin in the diet was able to stimulate a receptor called potential vanilloid 1(辣椒素受体)(TRPV1)channel protein. Activating this receptor suppresses obesity【C8】______with a high-fat diet, the researchers found. They believe this is because it 【C9】______"bad" white fat cells to become energy-burning "good" brown fat cells. The researchers carried out the study on one group of wild mice, and another group of mice who had been【C10】______engineered to lack the TRPV1 Receptor.
【C9】
选项
答案G
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于because引导的原因状语从句中，该从句缺少谓语动词，因此空格处应填入动词。此处句意为：他们认为，这是因为它——“坏”的白色脂肪细胞变成燃烧能量的“好”的棕色脂肪细胞。本句中的this指的是上文提到的suppresses obesity"抑制肥胖"，根据“抑制肥胖”与后面的“‘坏’的白色脂肪细胞变成燃烧能量的‘好’的棕色脂肪细胞”的关系可知，备选项中的induces“诱发”符合题意。
