This is a case where the collective interest of the nation’s health overrides the rights of individual companies to sell whatever they want to whomever they want. Manufacturers of processed foods increasingly resemble the tobacco lobby--reluctant to admit that their product is poisonous, insistent that consumer choice is paramount. The analogy is strengthened by neurological research suggesting the extreme compulsion to keep eating sugary, fatty, salty food amounts to a kind of addiction.
思考题:
第一句:
This is a case where the collective interest of the nation’s health overrides the rights of individual companies to sell whatever they want to whomever they want.
词汇突破:
1.This is a case where…这个情况体现了…
2. override 比…更重要;凌驾
Considerations of safety override all other concerns.
第二句:
Manufacturers of processed foods increasingly resemble the tobacco lobby--reluctant to admit that their product is poisonous, insistent that consumer choice is paramount.
参考译文:加工食品制造商越来越类像烟草游说势力——不愿意承认他们的产品有毒,坚持消费者选择至关重要。
第三句:
Why there is resemblance between processed foods and tobacco?
(别找理由,你就是不知道!)
(Dwarfs= overrides)
这个选项定位到第一句而且替换也是正确的,但是定位错误,因为根据题干应该定位到第三句;
加工食品和烟草的生产者坚持认为公司权利应该被加强;(文章没有谈到这些生产者坚持认为权利应该被加强,而只是谈到应该尊重消费者的选择。)所以属于not given ; 排除!
有研究表明吃垃圾食品的欲望是某种瘾;
(D) Neurological research suggests people are forced to keep eating junk food.
有同学会说那就是被这种“瘾”强迫的。
上瘾和被强迫是两回事。
所以还是C是最佳选项!
