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.

" 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.
【B2】
选项 A、at most
B、at last
C、at least
D、at once
答案C
解析 本题考查介词词组辨析。该句主要讲“饮食健康虽然不易，但规则却清晰易懂”。这两句话之间是一个转折关系。四个选项分别为：[A]at most“顶多”；[B]at last“最终”；[C]at least“至少”；[D]at once“立即”。只有at least符合文意，故选项[C]为正确答案。
