名词：benefits（利益，益处）, impression（印象）, specifications（说明书）

动词：benefits（对……有益）, highlight（强调）, illustrates（说明）, improves（改善，提高）, prevail（流行，获胜）, prompt（促进）

形容词：inquiring（爱追究的）, positive（积极的）, prompt（迅速的，立刻的）, typical（典型的）, strapping（魁梧的）

副词：perfectly（完美地）, primarily（首先，主要地）

非谓语：avoiding（避免）, inquiring（询问）, strapping（捆绑，约束）

26. strapping 此处应该填入动名词作介词of的宾语，与后面的介词on搭配。avoiding与inquiring均不与on连用， strap on shoes表示系上鞋带，故填入strapping。

27. positive 此处应该填入形容词修饰attitude。结合前文：你喜欢溜旱冰，也知道溜旱冰是很好的运动，故你的态度应该是积极的，故此处填入positive。

28. illustrates 此处应该填入动词第三人称单数作谓语，结合句意：对溜旱冰的描述____了态度的三个组成部分。benefits和improves均不符合句意，故填入illustrates。

29. highlight 此处应该填入动词原形作谓语。由于空后有宾语，需填入及物动词，prevail为不及物动词，排除；prompt在语义上不合逻辑，故只能填入highlight。

30. benefits 此处应该填入名词作定语从句的先行词。这里在说cognitive component of an attitude,对应前文例子中的You also know that roller-skating is excellent exercise，可见应该是可以带来健康方面的好处，故填入benefits。

31. prompt 此处应该填入动词原形作谓语动词，由于空后有宾语us，需填入及物动词，只有prompt一个备选项，prompt sb. to do sth.表示促使某人做某事。

32. impression 此处应该填入名词作with的宾语， leave sb. with the impression that从句表示给某人留下……印象。

33. perfectly 此处应该填入副词，修饰work together。结合句意：我们并不想给你留下这三部分配合____的印象。上下文没有先后和主次的描述，故排除primarily，填入perfectly。

34. avoiding 此处应该填入动名词与eating并列，构成选择关系，故填入avoiding，你的态度会导致哪种行为：吃了它还是避开它？

35. prevail 此处应该填入动词原形，空后没有宾语，应填入不及物动词，只有prevail一个备选项。前文提到情感部分probably will be stronger, 这里应该是说认知部分会胜出，从而选择吃更健康的食物。
