问题     More than 45 million Americans now belong to a health club. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go.
    According to a survey, the number of people who said they【C1】________regular exercise, has been rising. And yet obesity【C2】________have risen significantly: a third of Americans are obese, and another third【C3】________as overweight by the Federal Government’s【C4】________. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised【C5】________. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise,【C6】________I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don’t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?
    The【C7】________wisdom that exercise is essential for shedding pounds is actually fairly【C8】________. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against【C9】________exercise, particularly for older adults who could【C10】________themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of【C11】________—those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer, diabetes and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly【C12】________.
    "In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty【C13】________," says Eric Ravussin, chair in diabetes and metabolism at Louisiana State University and a prominent exercise researcher. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important【C14】________helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on【C15】________like The Biggest Loser.
    The basic problem is that【C16】________it’s true that exercise bums calories and that you must burn calories to lose weight, exercise has another effect it can【C17】________hunger. That causes us to eat more, which【C18】________can deny the weight-loss benefits we just【C19】________. Exercise, in other words, isn’t necessarily helping us lose weight. It may even be making it【C20】________.
【C19】
选项 A、gained
B、occupied
C、utilized
D、owned
答案A
解析 此空格需要填入一个能与benefits搭配的动词，作定语从句的谓语，故选A项gained，指通过较大努力获得某种利益或好处，经常与benefits搭配。B项occupied指的是“占用(时间、空间等)或占据(人心、注意力等)”。benefit在这里是“成效”的意思，C项utilized “使用；利用”不与其搭配。D项owned“拥有”，后面一般接实实在在的物体，而且减肥的成效都是自己辛苦得来的，就意义而言也不如A项。
