If you’re having trouble saying no to the bounty of fat and sugar, give yourself a break: your willpower may be no【S1】_____for brain pathways that make overeating—much like drug-taking—feel so good.
    In one study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, mice that were fed a high-fat diet during the first 20 weeks of life and had become【S2】_____showed significant and lasting changes in brain areas【S3】_____in reward—making the brain less responsive to the same fatty foods.

"Drug addiction is really【S6】_____some of these pathways that evolved to promote food【S7】_____for survival reasons," Ralph DiLeone, associate professor of psychiatry at Yale University.
    So is food really【S8】_____, like a drug? That’s still not clear, but it’s likely that compulsive overeating probably bears some【S9】_____to addiction.

E)pleasure J)resemblance O)hijacking

选项
答案O
解析 动词辨析题。空格处应填入动词作句子的谓语。在备选的动词中，有hijacking和kidnapping可选，hijacking和kidnapping都有“劫持”的意思，但是只有hijacking有“控制”的意思，由句意可知毒瘾会影响大脑的某些部位，因此hijacking符合句意。
