问题     There’s nothing radical about the idea that governments should intervene in the food business. Governments and people seem to agree that【C1】______the safety and stability of the food supply is part of the state’s【C2】______. But obesity (肥胖) is a more complicated【C3】______than food safely. It is not about ensuring that people don’t get poisoned: it is about changing their behavior. Should governments be trying to do anything about it【C4】______?
    There is a bad reason for doing something, and a couple of good ones. The bad reason is that governments should help citizens look【C5】______themselves. People, the argument【C6】______. are misled by their genes, which are【C7】______trying to pack away a few more calories just in case of a famine around the【C8】______. Governments should help guide them【C9】______better eating habits. 【C10】______that argument is no better than it is in any other area where people have a【C11】______of being sensible or silly. People are constantly torn by the battle【C12】______their better and worse selves. It’s【C13】______them, not governments, to decide who should win.
    A better argument for intervention (干预) is that dietary habits are【C14】______early in childhood. 【C15】______people get fat, it is hard for them to get thin. The state, which has some 【C16】______for moulding minors, should try to make sure that its small citizens aren’t【C17】______sugar at primary school. A second【C18】______argument for intervention is that thin people subsidise (补贴) fat people through health care. If everybody is forced to carry the【C19】______of the seriously fat, then everybody has an interest in seeing them【C20】______down.
【C3】
选项 A、question
B、issue
C、episode
D、matter
答案B
解析 语义衔接题。空前的But表明，本句和前面意思有转折，前面提到政府和人们似乎同意(agree)……，即观点一致的问题，由此可知，这里应该是说存在争议的问题，即“肥胖是一个更加复杂的、存在争议的问题”，[B]issue“议题；争论”，常用来指一种悬而未决、没有固定方案、存在广泛的社会争议又具有广泛社会影响的一类问题，符合语境，故为答案。[A]question常用来指对某事疑惑不解，因而用口头或书面形式提出来的要求回答或有待讨论解决的问题；[C]episode常用来指若干或一连串事件中的一个事件；[D]matter常用来指需要考虑或处理的事情或问题。
