" We can’t keep our arms crossed in front of a real overweight and obesity【C1】______. The lives of millions of Mexicans are【C2】______at risk," Mr. Pena Nieto said.
    Seven in 10 adults are【C3】______overweight or obese in Mexico,【C4】______one-third of the country’s children【C5】______in that category, according to official figures. Mexico now has a higher rate of overweight people【C6】______the United States, and it also has the highest【C7】______of diabetes among the 34-nation Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development.
    Presenting his national strategy to【C8】______ obesity and diabetes, Mr. Pena Nieto said the Health Ministry will open an " observatory" to 【C9】______ and respond to the problem. The strategy includes a campaign to【C10】______ healthier lifestyles and better diets in a country that 【C11】______ 163 liters(43 gallons)of sugary drinks per capita per year, the highest rate in the world. The Mexican leader also cited special 【C12】______that the Congress is about to pass on sodas and【C13】______food, saying the funds should be used for health programs and to increase 【C14】______to drinking water in schools. Under the new laws to【C15】______obesity, chocolate, which was invented by Mexico’s Aztecs, will be subject【C16】______the tax.

【C7】
选项 A、ratio
B、ration
C、proportion
D、rate
答案D
解析 名词辨析题。该句的第一个分句提到现在墨西哥的人口超重率比美国要高．第二个分句则进一步说明墨西哥的糖尿病患病率在经济合作与发展组织的34个成员国之中也是最高的．这里应该填入一个表示“率”的名词，四个选项中只有[D]rate含有此意，因此为正确答案。[A]ratio是“比率”的意思，指的是两个量的比值，侧重强调相比、相除的关系，并且它的两个量必须在上下文中出现，故排除；[B]ration的意思是“配给量，定量”，与原文意思不符，故排除；[C]proportion意为“比例”，可与ratio替换使用，故排除。
