问题    It has long been known that high-calorie food can act as a balm (镇痛软膏) for anxiety and bad moods, but now a series of new studies published in Psychological Science【D1】______that high-calorie food may be a balm for economic anxiety, too, and one that we are prepared to apply whenever we perceive【D2】______in the world.
   In one of the experiments, people who were exposed to words suggesting tough times, like "disaster", "suffer" and "struggle", were prompted to eat more high-calorie food and【D3】______low-calorie food than a control group did—even though these words were in the background, on a poster, and not【D4】______understood. Taste didn’t come into it: neither did pleasure. "The cues I used did not change people’s【D5】______," says lead author Juliano Laran, a University of Miami marketing professor who【D6】______in consumer psychology and self-control, "and I specifically found that people were not looking for pleasure, but rather for food items that can【D7】______them fed for longer periods of time."
   The inspiration for the studies came from New York City’s policy of posting calorie counts in restaurants, which Laran noticed did nothing to【D8】______the consumption of high-calorie food. "This signaled," he says, "that misinformation was not the【D9】______issue, that there was something else【D10】______on."
A) decrease F) main K) psychological
B) directly G) mind L) specializes
C) going H) mood M) succeeds
D) keep I) occasionally N) suggests
E) less J) pleasure O) trouble
【D1】

选项

答案N

解析 本句是but连接的并列句,but后句中主语是a series of new studies,that引导的从句作宾语,因此空格处缺少谓语动词。上文提到,高热量的食物能充当焦虑和坏心情的止痛药,而此句后半部分说其也可能成为经济焦虑的止痛药。由此可推知,后者是《心理科学》上发表的一系列新研究所表明的内容,故N)suggests为答案。
