The healthcare system's officials said it began its Strong4Life in early 2011, a large-scale public awareness 28 , along with programs and partnerships to 29 kids and their parents. The first phase of the campaign, the 'warning' ads, was designed to raise awareness and 30 conversation about childhood obesity.
'A 31 finding in the research is that while 96 percent of respondents viewed childhood obesity as a somewhat or very serious problem, only 28 percent of parents of an obese child considered their child overweight or obese, and only 36 percent were 32 about their child's weight,' Dr. Richard Lutz of the University of Florida's Warrington College of Business Administration said in a statement.
'This 33 disconnect, known as the 'perceived personal immunity' effect, has been 34 for issues such as being 35 affected by lung cancer, skin cancer and AIDS.'
The program also included training more than 1,000 healthcare providers, nurses and dietitians to discuss obesity with their patients; going to more than 100 schools to share with children the importance of healthy eating and physical 36 and educating more than 430 daycare centre staff to use Strong4Life tool kits to each healthy habits at an early age.

M
形容词辨析题。根据句意可知，亚特兰大儿童医疗保健中心的医生治疗儿童由肥胖引起的并发症，空格处应当是对“并发症”一词的修饰限定，而空格后又有介词to，故推断应填入形容词或动词的过去分词作后置定语。结合所给选项，related可以和介词to搭配，意为“和……有关系的”，符合题意。contributed to意为“致力于，贡献”，不符合句意，故排除。
C
名词辨析题。空格位于一个插入成分中，该插入成分开头为冠词a，故判断其应为名词短语，因此空格处应填入名词。后面一句提到了the first phase of the campaign，故推断空格处应填入campaign“运动；活动”。
L
动词辨析题。空格位于不定式标志词to之后，因此空格处应填入动词原形。根据上下文，该中心开展的活动旨在引起人们对儿童肥胖问题的关注，因此这项活动的参与者必然包括父母和儿童，故应选reach“被听到/看到”。interact意为“相互影响；交流”，为不及物动词，而spark意为“激起”，两项均不符合句意，故均排除。
O
动词辨析题。空格位于and之后，从结构上推断该空格和名词conversation一起与raise awareness构成并列结构，因此空格处应填入动词原形和raise保持一致。根据句意可知，该运动的第一阶段为“警示”广告，旨在引起人们的关注和______人们讨论儿童肥胖问题。结合所给动词，spark“激起”符合题意，故为答案。
N
形容词辨析题。空格位于冠词和名词之间，故推断应填入形容词作定语。此处要表达的是“研究中一个______发现是……”。结合研究发现的内容，即由that引导的表语从句的内容可知，此研究发现应该是remarkable“非凡的，显著的”。apparent“显而易见的”不符合句意，故排除。
D
形容词辨析题。空格位于were和介词about之间，故推断应填入形容词，且该形容词必须能够和about搭配。根据句意可知，此处表达的是“只有36%的父母______孩子的体重”。因此，答案为concerned“担忧的”。
B
形容词辨析题。由空格前面的this和空格后的disconnect判断，空格处应填入形容词修饰名词。由上一段可知，96%的受访者认为儿童肥胖是一个严重问题，但只有36%的家长担心孩子的体重，这是一种明显的脱节，故本题答案为apparent“显而易见的”。fatal意为“致命的；灾难性的”，与句意不符，故排除。
F
动词辨析题。空格位于has been之后，据此判断应填入及物动词的过去分词表被动。该被动句的主语是disconnect，因此填入的动词必须能与之相搭配。备选项中只有documented“记录”符合句意和语法要求，故为答案。
G
副词辨析题。空格位于被动结构being affected之间，且句子成分完整，故判断空格处应填入副词对动词进行修饰。根据句意可知，错误的自我抵抗力认知会使人______患肺癌、皮肤癌和艾滋病。因此，答案为easily“容易地”。immediately意为“立即，马上”，不符合逻辑，故排除。
A
名词辨析题。空格位于形容词physical后，由physical前面的并列连词and判断，空格处应填入名词和physical搭配，与healthy eating构成并列结构。根据句意，这一项目包含去学校和孩子们分享健康饮食和体育______的重要性，因此空格处应填入activity“活动”。
