选项 A、ratio
B、ration
C、proportion
D、rate
答案 D
解析 名词辨析题。该句的第一个分句提到现在墨西哥的人口超重率比美国要高．第二个分句则进一步说明墨西哥的糖尿病患病率在经济合作与发展组织的34个成员国之中也是最高的．这里应该填入一个表示“率”的名词，四个选项中只有[D]rate含有此意，因此为正确答案。[A]ratio是“比率”的意思，指的是两个量的比值，侧重强调相比、相除的关系，并且它的两个量必须在上下文中出现，故排除；[B]ration的意思是“配给量，定量”，与原文意思不符，故排除；[C]proportion意为“比例”，可与ratio替换使用，故排除。
