问题    "Food desert" is a term that describes geographic areas where mainstream grocery stores are either totally absent or inaccessible to low-income residents because of high prices and inadequate public transit. While typically associated with large urban communities, this phenomenon also occurs in rural neighborhoods that suffer from inferior schools and substandard housing. From a lack of fresh vegetables arise significant negative health impacts, foremost among which is obesity that is linked to an array of serious illnesses. The prevalence of junk food is going to have deadly consequences. It takes more than determination to improve the availability and affordability of healthy foods for victims of "food desert".
选项
答案  “食品沙漠”是一个术语，指的是由于物价高、公共交通不便，某些地区根本没有主流的杂货店或低收入居民无法到这些商店购物。尽管这种现象往往与大城市社区有关，但是在学校质量差、住房不达标的农村地区也存在。缺少新鲜的蔬菜会严重影响健康，最大的问题就是肥胖，而肥胖与多种严重疾病有关。垃圾食品的盛行将产生致命的后果。要帮助那些“食品沙漠”的受害者得到并买得起健康的食品，仅有决心是不够的。
解析 1．food desert(食物沙漠)指一些偏远的地区及农村。由于远离大型百货公司、超市、购物中心，在这些地区不容易以合理的价格买到新鲜的食物。
2．public transit指“公共交通”。
3．From a lack of fresh vegetables arise significant negative health impacts是个倒装句，相当于significant negative health impacts arise from a lack of fresh vegetables。
4．it takes more than determination to do something的意义是“做……只有决心不够”。It takes something to do something是个常见的句式，表示“做……需要……”，如外媒把“中华民族伟大复兴，绝不是轻轻松松、敲锣打鼓就能实现的”翻译为…It will take more than drum beating and gong clanging to get there。
5．improve the availability and accessibility of…是个常用的结构，表示“普及”或“方便……的使用”。
