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 wellbeing 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 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 wellbeing.

A)ambition F)intelligible K)reinforce
B)barren G)objectively L)related
C)compensate H)perspective M)scandals
D)defended I)probably N)tendency
E)impacts J)proportion O)worthwhile [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 K
解析 动词辨析题。空格前有情态动词could，故确定此处应填动词的原形，作句子的谓语。由句意可知，Kevin认为，研究——有人高估了自己的实际健康状况的证据。下一句又指出，从个人的层面来看，人们高估了自己“健康行为”的作用。因此Kevin认为研究更加强化了人们的错误估计。因此reinforce为本题的正确答案。
