参考答案：
选词填空
36. passively
解析：sitting passively 被动坐着
从词性判断，36题应该选一个副词来修饰sitting这个动名词，而备选项中只有两个副词，一个是passively被动地，一个是previously之前，再根据语义逻辑，坐着那看电视的行为应该是一种被动行为，而不存在前后之分。
37. harmful
解析：quantified just how harmful being a couch potato 量化长时间看电视的严重危害
通过分析how ( ) being a couch potato can be 这句话的句子成分，得出how 这个副词之后应该接一个形容词，符合词性条件的备选项，一个是effective 有效的，一个是harmful有害的。根据语义逻辑，长时间看电视是有害的，故选harmful。
38. previously
解析： previously published studies 之前公布的研究
38题空格处应该填一个副词来修饰published这个词，参考36题的解析，备选项中现在只剩下一个副词就是previously，刚好填入此处。
39. surfing
解析：spent channel surfing ，直接翻译为在频道冲浪，意译为看电视。这里的channel频道指代television电视;而“surfing冲浪”指代“watching看”，我们经常看到上网常用surfing一词，这里运用了仿词，将“上网冲浪”的surfing借过来用来指“看电视“。以上可以理解为英语中的委婉表达。
40. decade
解析：increased 15% over a decade 10年增加了15% 。40题后面出现了一个词并列连词and，说明本句存在并列关系。通读此句，40题在over之后应该填一个表示时间的名词，这样才能和前文over 8.5.years 与后文during a seven-year follow up 形成并列，备选项中只有decade符合条件。
41. climbed
解析：the odds …climbed 13% 几率增加了13% 。解析同40题，根据and所指向的并列关系，前文说某一种风险增加了20%，某一种风险的增加了15%，此处空格也应该填一个表示上升的动词，备选项只有climbed，爬升。
42. outcomes
解析：all of these outcomes 所有这些后果。 此题填outcomes，是对前文各种疾病风险的概括。
43. effective
解析：be especially effective at promoting unhealthy habits 更容易形成不健康的习惯。be effective at doing 有效做某事。这里是讽刺用法，用来强调看电视更容易形成不健康的习惯。
44. consume
解析：make you more likely to consume them 使你更有可能吃他们，这里注意them指前文出现的beer啤酒和popcorn爆米花，又能表示喝啤酒，又能表示吃爆米花的词只有consume。consume消费，也只吃喝(东西)。
45. determine
解析：通过句法分析，本句应该填写动词原形，放在to 不定式符号之后。备选项中有3个动词原形，其中consume已经填在了44题，在剩下的resume恢复和determine决定之间，根据语义，应选择determine。
