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 global, not just Western, problems."
    The rise is【C7】______to a "creeping homogeni-sation"(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】______.
【C8】
选项 A、prices
B、outcomes
C、incomes
D、consumers
答案C
解析 rising——与advertising和globalisation并列，一起解释造成肥胖症人数增长的原因。文章首段提及“2014年世界上大多数人都要节食”，“2008年约有三分之一的成年过于肥胖”，这说明从整体而言人们吃得好了，生活水平提高了。故选C项incomes“收入”。
