问题     Several years into a campaign to get kids to eat better and exercise more, child obesity rates have appeared to stabilize, and might be poised for a reversal.
    But a study published Monday in the journal PNAS suggests that among adolescents, the【C1】________signs are limited to those from better-educated, more【C2】________families. Among teens from poorer, less well-educated families, obesity has【C3】________to rise.
    That class-gap was not【C4】________in younger children. But as children neared【C5】________, the class differences became increasingly obvious.
    【C6】________between rich and poor in obesity rates are not new, and they are only one of many health gaps that make poor patients sicker and more likely to die【C7】________than richer ones. But if the public health message on obesity "has not diffused【C8】________across the population," this gap could【C9】________efforts to stem a tidal wave of【C10】________obesity-related diseases in the years ahead.
    Researchers from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government found that【C11】________activity may account largely for the【C12】________trend in obesity between rich and poor.
    If public health experts are to prevent child-hood obesity and【C13】________drive down future obesity among adults, they’ll have to figure out【C14】________less advantaged kids don’t get as much exercise, the authors of the latest study say. Yes, lack of【C15】________centers, playgrounds, and streets and side-walks that【C16】________walking, biking and playing are important, they wrote.
    But, they added, "this is not the whole story." Among children with parents who【C17】________high on the socioeconomic scale, participation in high school sports and clubs has increased. But among their【C18】________from families of lower educational【C19】________and income, such participation has【C20】________.  
【C16】
选项 A、encourage
B、dispirit
C、force
D、restrict
答案A
解析 从句中的________walking，biking是对…centers，playgrounds，and streets and sidewalks的说明。上文提出关于弱势孩子“得不到足够锻炼”的问题，其回答为“yes，lack of．．．sidewalks…”，也就是说这些场所是能帮助人们得到锻炼的。故选A项encourage“鼓励”。B项dispirit“使沮丧”和D项restrict“限制”均与原文意思相反。C项force“强迫”在文中未提及。
