Marion Nestle’s heavyweight criticism against Coca-Cola and PepsiCo comes at an odd moment for the industry. Americans are drinking fewer sugary sodas—in 2012 production was 23% below what it had been a decade earlier. Even sales of diet drinks are losing their fizz, as consumers question the merits of artificial sweeteners. From one angle, it would seem that health advocates such as Ms Nestle have won. Yet in America companies still produce 30 gallons of regular fizzy drinks per person per year. In many countries, particularly developing ones, consumption is on the rise.
Ms Nestle, a professor at New York University, is both inspired by recent progress and dissatisfied with it. That is no surprise. Her first book, Food Politics, remains a bible for those who complain about the power of food companies. In her new book she attacks the industry’s most widely consumed, least healthy product. Soda Politics, she says, is a book "to inspire readers to action". As a rallying cry, it is verbose. When readers learn on page 238 that she will pick up a particular subject in chapter 25, it is with no little dismay that they realize they are only on chapter 17. But what the author wants most is to craft a detailed guide to the producers’ alleged violation, and how to stop them.
Ms Nestle says she would have no complaint with sweet fizzy drinks if they were sipped occasionally, as a treat. However, for millions of people in many countries, they are not. In Mexico companies sold 372 cans of fizzy drinks per person in 2012. About half of Americans do not drink them regularly, but those who do are disproportionately poor, less educated, male, Hispanic or black. 10% of Americans down more than four cans a day.
Drinking a lot of sweet fizzy drinks is plainly unhealthy. Unlike a Big Mac, they have no nutritional value; nor do their calories satisfy hunger. One large study found that for each can added to a person’s daily diet, the risk of diabetes jumped by 22%. There are also links between sugar and heart disease, stroke and cancer. Drinking lots of sodas imposes clear costs on individuals, Ms Nestle argues, but it has a broader cost, too. American taxpayers subsidize corn production and let the poor use government food vouchers to buy fizzy drinks. More important, taxpayers

Nestle tends to agree that drinking cola occasionally is______.
选项
A、healthy
B、acceptable
C、harmful
D、questionable
答案
B
解析
观点题。根据Nestle,drinking cola,occasionally等关键词定位到第三段首句:Ms Nestle says she would have no complaint with sweet fizzy drinks if they were sipped occasionally,as a treat.其中,fizzy drinks指“碳酸饮料”,等于题干cola“可乐”;sipped“小口喝”=drinking“喝”;occasionally为原词复现。本题考查人物观点,要注意该人物所说的话,该题答案句为:Ms Nestle says she would have no complaint…,have no complaint“不抱怨”=[B]acceptable“可接受的”。选项[A]healthy“健康的”;[C]harmful“有害的”;[D]questionable“有问题的”;这三项均无法与have no complaint同义替换。故本题答案为[B]。
