Current studies show that what goes on labels is an important consideration for manufacturers, since more than seventy percent of shoppers read food labels when considering whether to buy a product.
A recent controversy as to whether labels on prepared foods should educate or merely inform the consumer is over, and a consumer group got its way. The group had maintained that product labels should do more than simply list how many grams of nutrients a food contains. Their contention was that labels should also list the percentage of a day’s total nutrients that the product will supply to the consumer, because this information is essential in planning a healthy diet.
A government agency disagreed strongly, favoring a label that merely informs the consumer, in other words, a label that only lists the contents of the product. The agency maintained that consumers could decide for themselves if the food is nutritious and is meeting their daily needs.
The consumer group, in supporting its case, had cited a survey in which shoppers were shown a food label, and were then asked if they would need more or less of a certain nutrient after eating a serving of this product. The shoppers weren’t able to answer the questions easily when they were not given a specific percentage.
This study, and others helped get the new regulation passed, and now food products must have the more detailed labels.
1. What was the controversy about?
2. Why does the speaker mention that more than seventy percent of people read food labels?
3. What did the consumer group propose?
4. What did the survey of food shoppers reveal?
选项
A、They were unable to comprehend a label without percentages.
B、They preferred more basic labeling.
C、They were unwilling to do simple arithmetic.
D、They thought the language on labels was too technical.
答案
A
解析
这份调查的内容是让顾客在阅读了食品标签之后回答自己对某一种营养成分是需要更多还是更少,由于标签里面没有列出营养成分的百分比含量,顾客常常很难回答这个问题。由此可以判断,这份调查揭示出标签里列出百分比的重要性,与之意思最接近的是选项A。即使没有明白听力材料最后一段的具体意思,也可以通过排除法首先排除选项C(与事实不符)和选项D(讲的不是标签的语言问题)。选项B不符合consumer group一贯的论点,因此可以确定正确答案是A。
