问题     Guidelines for food labelling are made with good intentions, but they end up leaving consumers baffled by ambiguous marketing rather than giving them the facts. Eating【B1】______has never been especially easy, but【B2】______the rules were straightforward: cut down on fat, get most calories from carbs and eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
    In recent years, though, those simple rules have become more【B3】______Saturated fat, for example, may not be as【B4】______as we once thought. Avoiding it may drive us to【B5】______eat more sugar. Amid the【B6】______there was always the five-a-day rule to【B7】______back on. But even that is now being sliced, diced and mashed. A long and deliberate process of " de-bittering" has made fruit and veg tastier, but stripped them【B8】______some of their most valuable【B9】______They are still a healthy option, but may be less so than we have been led to believe.
    It is easy, but【B10】______, to blame the food industry. Growers and retailers are only【B11】______to consumer demand. But how many consumers have heard of de-bittering? Can you demand something you don’t know about? The real【B12】______is a lack of reliable information,【B13】______by well-meaning but counterproductive rules on food labelling.
    This problem is exposed【B14】______what happens when the industry【B15】______a variety such as Beneforte broccoli, bred to be high in a nutrient with proven anticancer【B16】______But when retailers want to【B17】______this fact, they find their hands are tied.【B18】______giving evidence-based information, they have to use science-lite slogans such as "Naturally high in the plant nutrients, glucosinolates, with an exquisite sweet flavour. " That is the worst of all worlds,【B19】______healthfulness with sweetness—the opposite of what is going on in other fruit and veg. Food labelling rules are guided by the belief that consumers are incapable of understanding nuanced【B20】______information. That is patronising and past its sell-by date.
【B13】
选项 A、funded
B、functioned
C、fuelled
D、frequented
答案C
解析 本题考查动词词义辨析。该句主要讲“作者认为不能谴责食品工业，真正的原因在于缺乏可靠信息，而且与意图良好但造成不良后果的食品标签规定有关”。这里需要填一个能够将这层意思连起来的词。选项[A]funded“资助”，[B]functioned“起作用，运转”(不能和by搭配)和[D]frequented“常去(一地方)”均不符合文意，故排除。只有[C]fuelled“促进”能将这层关系联系起来，即食品标签规定促进了这一不好的结果，故选项[C]为正确答案。
