C.in favor of
D.in of

答案 A

解析词义辨析【直击答案】空格所在句意为“肥胖经常体质指数，或称为BMI来定义”。下文根据BMI指数的不同对肥胖进行了分级。由此可知，BMI是一种根据。A项in terms of意为“根据……，就……而言”，符合句意，为正确答案。在医学研究和临床测试中经常使用BMI作为衡量受试者健康的重要指标，希望考生能够记住这一背景知识，方便日后做题。【命题思路】本题考查对句意的理解，并考查常见词组的辨析。【干扰排除】B项in case of“万一，假设”，C项in favor of“赞成，以……来取代”，D项in respect of“关于”。将此三项代入文中，均不符合题意。这些短语的考查频率非常高，有些已经成为真题中常见的干扰项，同学们在复习时要加强记忆。
