Consumer advocate: In our nation, food packages must list the number of calories per food serving. But most of the serving sizes used are misleadingly small and should be updated. The serving sizes were set decades ago, when our nation’s people typically ate smaller portions than they do today, and, as a result, people eating typical portions today consume more calories than the package labeling appears to indicate that they will. It is time package labeling reflected these changes.
Which of the following is the main point of the consumer advocate’s argument?
The number of calories per serving listed on most food packages in the consumer advocate’ s nation is misleadingly small.
Most serving sizes used on food packages in the consumer advocate’s nation should be increased to reflect today’s typical portion sizes.
People eating typical portions today often consume far more calories than the number of calories per serving listed on food packages in the consumer advocate’s nation.
The serving sizes used on food packages in the consumer advocate’s nation were set when people ate smaller portions on average than they do today.
The use of misleadingly small serving sizes on food packages in the consumer advocate’s nation probably leads many people to consume more calories than they otherwise would.
C.重复事实。原文也没有体现far more
D.重复事实。本身不是main point,而是作为论据支撑main point
E.无中生有。原文只是说实际消耗的卡路里要比标签标注的卡路里高,并不代表这种误导会导致人们消耗更多的卡路里
文中提到的是尺寸被误导地小,且应该更新
而不是A选项中的卡路里
第一句是背景,第二句【好像是结论】,第三句是解释结论,最后一句【是个提议,似乎比起第二句更像个结论?】
对应去选项里面看,B项提到should be increased to reflect today’s typical portion sizes.说的就是最后一句的意思,也仅仅只有B项提到这个提议
B选项就是这个结论句的完美复述
错误原因 对于结论句搞错了 认为结论句是as a result 后面的部分
文章主要说了标注的量小于一般人吃的量,导致大家以外自己摄入更少的卡路里,但是这个量对应的卡路里是没有问题的。
NOT asking to conclude from above
B选项就是这个结论句的完美复述
a只是在陈述一个事实,并不是主要观点,它主要是想说几十年前的serving size太小了,现在人们吃的更多了,这种serving size不适合现代人,所以要增加serving size
A说的是The number of calories per serving很小,但其实每serving的卡路里量应该不变,增加的是serving的消耗量,所以总的卡路里量增加。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
