【2】E

【3】A

【4】B

【5】G

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于科普說明文，主要講述了房屋的設(shè)計(jì)和布置在一定程度上決定了你的體型。想要減肥，除了少吃外，還和房間有關(guān)系。建議有4條：1.房間要明亮；2.用冷色系會減少食欲；3.放一些舒緩的音樂就餐；4. 用小的碗碟。

【1】C 本句屬于承上啟下句。前面兩句中提到住房可能會影響我們的體型，下面四段分別提出一個建議。所以橫線句要連接上下文，故C項(xiàng)“Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan下面是一個把你的家變成節(jié)食計(jì)劃一部分的一些方法”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【2】E 本段的建議是保持房間明亮。橫線前句“.... when they’re in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots”可知在光線不好的情況下，人們會多吃食物。所以橫線句應(yīng)該表示要讓房間更為明亮。故E項(xiàng)正確。

【3】A 根據(jù)本段倒數(shù)第二句Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry .可知暖色系會增加我們的食欲，而冷色系會減少食欲。所以本段的建議是A項(xiàng)“Mind the colors 注意顏色”。

【4】B 根據(jù)橫線前句If you need some help slowing down , turn on relaxing music.如果你想放慢速度，就打開一些舒緩的音樂。舒緩的音樂讓我們吃飯不那么匆忙。故B項(xiàng)符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】G 本段標(biāo)題Downsize the dishes. 建議我們使用小的碗碟；根據(jù)后三句可知大碗碟會讓我們多吃而發(fā)胖，小碗碟可以減少我們的食量，達(dá)到減肥的目的。故G項(xiàng)“Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.”符合段落大意。
