Obesity (肥胖) has become an epidemic. Not only does Obesity have more【C1】______ health consequences than smoking, drinking, or poverty, it also affects more people【C2】______ 23 percent of Americans are obese. An additional 36 percent are overweight. By contrast, only 6 percent are heavy drinkers, 19 percent are daily smokers, and 14 percent live in poverty.
Obesity rates are increasing dramatically. These rates used to be fairly【C3】______ : Between 1960 and 1980, there was only a minor increase in the number of Americans who were overweight or obese. Since 1980, however, not only has the percentage increased, but much of the increase is【C4】______ in the "obese" category, which grew by 60 percent between 1991 and 2000.

选项
答案
N
解析
整个段落都是讲美国人越来越肥胖的原因以及生活方式的重大变化,这种变化综合起来就会阻碍人们进行体育运动,因此只有动词discourage“阻碍”能概括这一意思,Reduction虽然有“减少,降低”的意思,但它是名词,放在此处不符合语法。
