问题     Several years into a campaign to get kids to eat better and exercise more, child obesity rates have appeared to stabilize, and might be poised for a reversal.
    But a study published Monday in the journal PNAS suggests that among adolescents, the【C1】________signs are limited to those from better-educated, more【C2】________families. Among teens from poorer, less well-educated families, obesity has【C3】________to rise.
    That class-gap was not【C4】________in younger children. But as children neared【C5】________, the class differences became increasingly obvious.
    【C6】________between rich and poor in obesity rates are not new, and they are only one of many health gaps that make poor patients sicker and more likely to die【C7】________than richer ones. But if the public health message on obesity "has not diffused【C8】________across the population," this gap could【C9】________efforts to stem a tidal wave of【C10】________obesity-related diseases in the years ahead.
    Researchers from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government found that【C11】________activity may account largely for the【C12】________trend in obesity between rich and poor.
    If public health experts are to prevent child-hood obesity and【C13】________drive down future obesity among adults, they’ll have to figure out【C14】________less advantaged kids don’t get as much exercise, the authors of the latest study say. Yes, lack of【C15】________centers, playgrounds, and streets and side-walks that【C16】________walking, biking and playing are important, they wrote.
    But, they added, "this is not the whole story." Among children with parents who【C17】________high on the socioeconomic scale, participation in high school sports and clubs has increased. But among their【C18】________from families of lower educational【C19】________and income, such participation has【C20】________.  
【C12】
选项 A、divergent
B、popular
C、pronusing
D、convergent
答案A
解析 第2段已提及贫富之间肥胖率的变化趋势是不一致的(the signs are limited to those from better-educated…)，再结合原文提及的class-gap和class differences，可推断此处的trend应该是不同的，故选A项divergent“相异的”。B项popular和C项promising代入表示贫富之间这种肥胖率的趋势是流行的、有希望的，不符合常理。原文也无线索表明这种趋势有所收敛，故排除D项convergent“收敛的”。
