Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.

“Shoppers need to check the labels (標(biāo)簽) before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,” said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. “Food production is highly competitive. 【1】 It will increase profits, and consumers won’t always realize they are being tricked.”

Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores. 【2】 Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.

【3】 Let’s take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.

【4】 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. “Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is misleading. 【5】 Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread,” Tokelove said. “It’s time to take measures to protect theconsumers’ rights.”

A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.

B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.

C. They found that about 60 percent of them didn’t contain any fruit at all.

D. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.

E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.

F. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.

G. The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.

【解析】

試題分析：英國(guó)食品委員會(huì)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)：很多聲稱是水果味的飲料用的是果味劑,而根本就沒(méi)有水果，另外的一些飲料也僅含有很少的水果，甚至產(chǎn)品廣告中說(shuō)是天然產(chǎn)品的飲料也常常不含水果，不幸的是,這仍是合法的和普遍的。

【1】D。根據(jù)后面一句It will increase profits, and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked.”可知，公司如果可以使用調(diào)味品來(lái)削減成本，他們很可能會(huì)這么做的，故答案選D。

【2】C。根據(jù)前面一句Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry flavored products sold in stores. ，接下來(lái)應(yīng)該是分析的結(jié)果，故選C。

【3】B。根據(jù)后面所舉的例子，可見(jiàn)此處要說(shuō)甚至廣告說(shuō)純天然的產(chǎn)品經(jīng)常不含水果。故選B。

【4】G。根據(jù)后一句 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought.消費(fèi)者有權(quán)利知道他們買的是什么東西。答案為G。

【5】F。根據(jù)前面一句“Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is misleading.包裝盒用圖片描述一個(gè)產(chǎn)品經(jīng)常是誤導(dǎo)，而實(shí)際上里面只有很少的水果或根本沒(méi)有水果。故選F。
