Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by

some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four

choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and

mark the corresponding letter on Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.

Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

Junk food is everywhere. We’re eating way too much of it. Most of us know what

we’re d

oing and yet we do it anyway.

So here's a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why

not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is

sold and how it’s displayed?

（肥胖症）

assume that

people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and

therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods,

note the two researchers.

people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol,

a substance -- like food -- of which immoderate consumption leads to serious

health problems.

The research references studies of people’s behavio

r with food and alcohol and

results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers

think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:

Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren't handed out unplanned to all

comers but are allotted

（分配）

based on the number of places in an area that

already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number

of psychological cues to drink.

Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our

desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones

that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that

aren’t primarily food stores?

Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays

near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol

at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their

wares in places where they're easily seen. One could remove junk food to the

back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other

measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price

deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.
