   Several years into a campaign to get kids to eat better and exercise more, child obesity (肥胖)rates have appeared to stabilize, and might be poised for a reversal. But a study published Monday in the journal PNAS suggests that among adolescents, the hopeful signs are limited to those from better-educated, more 【C1】______ families. Among teens from poorer, less well-educated families, obesity has continued to rise. That class-gap was not evident in younger children. But as children neared adulthood, the class differences became 【C2】______ obvious.
   The 【C3】______ between rich and poor in obesity rates are not new, and they are only one of many health gaps that make poor patients sicker and more likely to die 【C4】______ than richer ones. But if the public health message on obesity "has not diffused evenly across the population," this gap could【C5】______efforts to stem a tidal wave of costly obesity-related diseases in the years ahead.
   Researchers from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government found that physical activity may account largely for the 【C6】______trend in obesity between rich and poor. If public health experts are to prevent childhood obesity and thereby 【C7】______ down future obesity among adults, they’ll have to figure out why less advantaged kids don’t get as much exercise, the authors of the latest study say. Yes, 【C8】______ of recreation centers, playgrounds, and streets and sidewalks that encourage walking, biking and playing are important, they wrote.
   But, they added, "this is not the whole story." They found that among children with parents who 【C9】______ high on the socioeconomic scale, participation in high school sports and clubs has increased. But among their 【C10】______ from families of lower educational attainment and income, such participation has declined. [br] 【C1】
选项
答案 B
解析 空格位于副词more和名词families之间，因此空格处应填入形容词，与more搭配构成比较级，修饰families。下一句提到，对于那些来自较为贫穷(poorer)、教育程度不高(less well-educated)家庭的青少年，肥胖率则持续上升。由此可知，上一句提到的hopeful signs(儿童肥胖率似乎已经稳定并可能出现 逆转)局限于那些来自教育程度更高、更加富裕家庭的孩子。affluent“富裕的”符合要求，故选B。
