A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living amid more concrete and fewer trees. Such【C1】________tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic began in the 1980s, and many people【C2】________it to increased portion sizes and inactivity, but that can’t be everything. Fast foods and TVs have been with us for a long time. "Most experts agree that the changes were【C3】________to something in the environment," says social epidemiologist Thomas Glass of The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. That something could be a【C4】________of the green.
The new research,【C5】________in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, isn’t the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get us closer【C6】________identifying what works and why. At its most straightforward, a green neighborhood【C7】________means more places for kids to play—which is【C8】________since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest correlates of children’s activity levels. But green space is good for the mind【C9】________: research by environmental psychologists has shown that it has cognitive【C10】________for children with attention-deficit disorder. In one study, just reading【C11】________in a green setting improved kids’ symptoms.

Glass cautions that most studies don’t【C15】________prove a causal link between greenness and health, but they’re nonetheless helping spur action. In September the U.S. House of Representatives【C16】________the delightfully named No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public initiatives【C17】________exposing kids to the outdoors.
Finding green space is not【C18】________easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in a suburb or a city with good parks,【C19】________what’s there. Your children in particular will love it—and their bodies and minds will be【C20】________to you.

选项
A、scraping
B、depressing
C、denying
D、shrinking
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。此处的that something是指上一句的something in the environment,根据该段首句讲到的“住在周围充满绿色植物的孩子们在2年内体重会少增长13%”可推知,此句大概是说肥胖症的流行与环境中缺少绿色植被有关。a shrinking of the green意为“绿色植被的减少”,选D项shrinking“缩减”。scraping指用刀等尖硬物将物体表面的东西刮掉,用在此处,语义不通,因此排除A项。B项depressing“压抑”指的是一种情感,与后置定语of the green搭配语义不通。C项denying“否定”填入句子表示 “那种东西可能是对绿色植物的否定”,与文章“介绍有绿色植被的环境对身体健康有好处”这一主题相矛盾。
