    It has long been known that high-calorie food can act as a balm (阵痛软膏) for anxiety and bad moods, but now a series of new studies published in Psychological Science【C1】________that high-calorie food may be a balm for economic anxiety, too, and one that we are prepared to apply whenever we perceive【C2】________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【C3】________low-calorie food than a control group did—even though these words were in the background, on a poster, and not 【C4】________understood.

选项
答案E
解析 形容词辨析题。根据句子结构可知，low-calorie food前面缺少一个形容词作定语。结合空格所在句的句意“与控制组人群相比，那些接触到如‘不幸一遭受(痛苦)’和‘挣扎’这些表示艰难时期的词汇的人，被提示去吃更多高卡路里的食物和________低卡路里的食物”，该句中有两个表示对比关系的名词短语，即more high—calorie food and ________low-calorie food，而与more"较多的”意思相反的形容词就是less“较少的”，故E为答案。
