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】________.
【C12】
选项 A、confirmed
B、approved
C、exaggerated
D、expanded
答案C
解析 上句提到运动减少患某些疾病的风险，本句由表示转折的But引导，故可推测是对运动的作用提出质疑，故选C项exaggerated“夸大”。A项confirmed“认可，确认”和B项approved“支持”都有认可、赞许的意思，与But要转折的意思相反，首先排除。D项expanded“扩大，增加”，表示的是面积或体积的伸展。
