问题     A study of the physical activity habits of 4 563 adults found that those who said they did the most housework were also the largest. The findings challenge Public Health England and the World Health Organization’s endorsement of household chores (家庭杂务) as a【C1】________contribution towards a recommended target of 150 minutes of physical activity a week.
    The study, carried out by Professor Marie Murphy and her colleagues at the University of Ulster, found that women and older people were particularly likely to list domestic physical activity as a significant【C2】________of their moderate to vigorous physical activity. But the study found that those who said they did the most were also the largest. Murphy said, "We found housework was inversely (相反地)【C3】________to leanness, which suggests that either people are overestimating the amount of moderate-intensity physical activity they do through housework or are eating too much to【C4】________for the amount of activity undertaken. "
    Kevin Fenton, director of health and well-being at Public Health England, suggested the study could【C5】________evidence that some people thought they were healthier than they actually were. "At an individual level there may be a【C6】________to overestimate the level of ’good behavior’ we’re doing and this is reflected when people use food diaries, pedometers (计步器) or Apps to measure more【C7】________what they have achieved. This study may reflect this," he said. But he【C8】________everyday tasks as genuinely useful. He added; "From an individual【C9】________, physical activities such as housework, doing the shopping and walking to collect children from school or to post a letter, can have positive【C10】________on physical and mental well-being.

选项
答案L
解析 语义推断题。分析句子结构可知，空格前有be动词was和副词inversely，后面有介词to，空格处应填入形容词或动词的分词形式。根据空格所在部分句意可知，做家务与保持苗条相反地________。下文又指出，要么大家高估了通过家务所做的中等强度身体活动量，要么就是吃太多。因此，推测做家务和保持苗条之间是负相关的关系。由此确定空格处应填入L)related“有联系的，相关的”。
