解析 逻辑关系【直击答案】空格所在句意为“是小孩子蔑视超重，而且对身材的嘲笑一直是学校的一个问题”。空格缺少一个副词，构成与上文的联系。上文讲到了大人们都在歧视肥胖（教师、雇员、健康工作者）。根据语境，此处应该填入表示递进关系的词汇，分析四个选项，只有A项Even“即使”符合题意。【命题思路】本题考查上下文的语义关系。【干扰排除】B项Still表示递进关系时其后一般要加逗号。C项Yet用表示上下文的对立关系中。D项Only引导条件关系，与原文语义不符。Negative attitudes toward obesity,__18 in health concerns,have stimulated a number of antiobesity 19.My own hospital system has banned sugary drinks from its facilities.Many employers have instituted weight loss and fitness initiatives.Michelle Obama has launched a highvisibility campaign 20 childhood obesity,even claiming that it represents our greatest national security threat.【译文】基于健康考虑的对肥胖的消极态度，已经引发一系列的对抗肥胖的相关措施。我自己工作的医院的供饮设备已经停止发放含糖饮料。很多雇员已经有了减肥健身的积极性。米歇尔奥巴马已经倡议发起一些明确的对抗儿童发胖的活动，甚至表明它是我们国家最大的安全威胁。
