Question

3．What do they really mean？
Food manufacturers and retailers are letting shoppers down．This is the view of the CWS，which has just brought out a new report．
    According to the report，shoppers believe food labels because they think there are strict regulations in place．（50）E．So the food industry can get away with all sorts of tricky strategies to make products look bigger and sound better than they are．
    The report has identified the different ways in which shoppers are misled．（51）G．Descriptions on packaging are sometimes inaccurate in an attempt to oversell the product．One example given in the report is the phrase"haddock fillets"，used for a product that is in fact cut from big blocks of fish rather than individual slices．
  （52）A．These include"traditional"，"wholesome"，or"premium"．The claim that a brand is"90% fat-free"hides the fact that it contains 10% fat，which above recommended levels．Phrases such as"free from preservatives"make a virtue out of a normal attribute of food．
     Labels have a wide variety of text sizes on them．You sometimes need a magnifying glass to read the small print．（53）D．
    Another deliberate type of misinformation lies in the image．Many pictures on packets use small plates to make the product look bigger．（54）C．
    However，misleading messages on packaging could soon be a thing of the past．The CWS recently produced a code which，if used，would end the current inaccuracies and half truths．It has called on the government to support it as a way of improving food standards．

A．Meaningless adjectives are often used to give a positive message．
B．An officer says the labels will receive very serious consideration．
C．Photographs are sometimes retouched to achieve the same effect．
D．By contrast，the hard sell information is given emphasis．
E．The rules are，in reality，very weak at present．
F．This result has not pleased the food industry．
G．The most common of these is poor labeling．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了食品制造商和零售商讓消費者失望，他們用各種手段誤導消費者．

解答 50．E．推理判斷題．根據(jù)前文According to the report，shoppers believe food labels because they think there are strict regulations in place可知購物者相信食物標簽因為他們認為有嚴格的規(guī)定，但事實上，這些規(guī)定現(xiàn)在非常薄弱，故E項符合語境．
51．G．推理判斷題．報道中根據(jù)下文Descriptions on packaging are sometimes inaccurate in an attempt to oversell the product可知列出了購物者被誤導的幾種方式，其中最普遍的是差的標簽，故G項符合語境．
52．A．推理判斷題．由下文These include"traditional"，"wholesome"，or"premium"．The claim that a brand is"90% fat-free"hides the fact that it contains 10% fat，which above recommended levels給出的多個形容詞可知，毫無意義的形容詞用來傳遞一種積極的信息；故選A．
53．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)上文You sometimes need a magnifying glass to read the small print可知有時你需要放大鏡去閱讀那些很小的字體，而強行推銷的字體就特別顯眼，故選D．
54．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)上文Many pictures on packets use small plates to make the product look bigger可知包裝上的很多圖片用小盤子讓產(chǎn)品顯得很大，圖片有時也會被修飾來達到同樣的效果，故C項符合語境．

點評 考察學生的推理判斷能力和聯(lián)系上下文的能力，在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．此類的填空題一定要聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容加上自己的理解，再作出正確的判斷．
