问题     Much of the world should go on a diet in 2014. More than a third of adults【C1】________were estimated to be【C2】________or obese in 2008, according to a report by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), a think tank in London. That’s a 23 per cent increase on 1980.
    In the last three decades, the number of adults estimated to be obese in the developing world has almost quadrupled to 904 million, overtaking the number in【C3】________countries.
    "The most shocking thing is the degree to which obesity is now【C4】________developing as well as developed economies," says Tim Lobstein of the International Association for the Study of Obesity in London. "The problems【C5】________by overconsumption of fats and【C6】________are now glob-al, not just Western, problems."
    The rise is【C7】________to a "creeping homogenisation" (spreading) of diets across the world, says the report, which says rising【C8】________, advertising and globalisation all play a part.
    It criticizes policy-makers in most countries for being slow or【C9】________to tackle the problem. "We see a big【C10】________in what governments recommend people eat as part of their【C11】________campaigns and what people actually eat," says Sharada Keats. "We need governments to【C12】________the scale of the problem and start putting in place【C13】________steps to tackle it."
    Some countries have【C14】________to go against the grain and【C15】________. For example, South Koreans ate four times more【C16】________in 2008 than they did in 1980. The report【C17】________this to government health drives, which include【C18】________programs on how to【C19】________low-fat meals, showing what governments can do when they【C20】________.  
【C15】
选项 A、damage
B、improve
C、decrease
D、consume
答案B
解析 上一段的开头提及“大多数国家的政策制定者因为拖延……处理这个问题而备受谴责”。而此处提到“有些国家走相反方向”，说明这些国家对于肥胖问题的态度是积极的，故选B项improve“改善”改善饮食。A项damage“破坏”和C项decrease“减少”为消极语义的词，首先排除。D项consume“消费”为中性词，也不能表明有些国家走相反方向所带来的积极结果，与下文韩国的例子不符。
