Question

根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

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 (標簽) before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non­existent，” said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. “Food production is highly competitive. __76__ 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.    __77__  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.

__78__ 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.

__79__ 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.   __80__ Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread，” Tokelove said. “It's time to take measures to protect the consumers' 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.

【答案】

 D

 C

 B

 G

 F

【解析】

 根據后面一句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味品來削減成本，他們很可能會這么做的。

 根據前面一句Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry­ flavored products sold in stores. ，接下來應該是分析的結果。

 根據后面所舉的例子，可見此處要說甚至廣告說純天然的產品經常不含水果。

 根據后一句 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought.消費者有權利知道他們買的是什么東西�？芍�，答案為G。

 根據前面一句“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產品經常是誤導，而實際上里面只有很少的水果或根本沒有水果。故選F.
