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
foot
the health bill for those who develop chronic disease.
According to the last paragraph, having too many soda drinks ______.
选项
A、can increase the risk of death
B、will inevitably lead to diabetes
C、may bring the problem of obesity
D、has something to do with certain diseases
答案
D
解析
细节题。定位到最后一段首句:Drinking a lot of sweet fizzy drinks is plainly unhealthy.其中a lot of=too many:fizzy drinks=soda drinks。故答案关键词为plainly unhealthy“显然不健康”。而更加完整的答案来自第三、四两句: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.这两句明确指出喝太多碳酸饮料导致患糖尿病几率上升,而且摄入过多糖分与心脏病、中风和癌症有关联。故答案为[D]has something to do with certain diseases“与某些疾病有关系”。选项[A]can increase the risk of death“可能增加死亡的风险”;文章说the risk of diabetes jumped“患糖尿病风险增大”,该项属于过分夸大。[B]will inevitably lead to diabetes“势必引发糖尿病”;inevitably“不可避免地”一词过于绝对,原文说的是“患糖尿病风险增加22%”。[C]may bring the problem of obesity“可能造成肥胖症”;该项的obesity“肥胖症”一词在文中并没有出现。综上[D]正确。
