According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior werent necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt. Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”12. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is _.A. less healthy weight B. motivation to lose weight C. negative emotions D. taking alcohol or drugs13. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?A. By making comparisons and conclusions. B. By explaining causes and effects.C. By presenting questions and answers. D. By giving definitions and examples. 14. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people. B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight. C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people. D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Dopamine release caused by food addiction B. Food addiction compared to drug use C. Impulsive personality linked to food addition D. Food addiction contributing to obesity 【答案】12A13D14B15C【解析】 试题分析：本文属于科普说明文，一项新的研究显示性格冲动的人很可能会有食物成瘾的行为，同时在文章中作者还介绍了人们对于这两者之间联系的研究。12. A 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior werent necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.可知研究说明冲动的人不一定就会超重，但是冲动和食物是有关系的，所谓的食物有关系，也就是说有不健康的体重问题有关。故A正确。13. D 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions.和第四段第三句Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks.可知这两句是Negative urgency 和Lack of perseverance两个概念的定义。同时本段2、3句Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better.和最后一句People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity给出的是这两个概念的例子。所以作者是通过定义和举例来介绍这两个定义的。故D正确。15. C 标题概括题。本题属于主旨大意题中的标题概括题，根据第一段第二句According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction.一项新的研究显示性格冲动的人很可能会有食物成瘾的行为。在后几段中介绍了人们对于这两者之间联系的研究。所以C项“Impulsive personality linked to food addition”与文章主题一致。 考点：考查科普说明文阅读【广东省汕头市金山中学2016届高三上学期期末考试】When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world.
