34、much thought to that bottle of Pringles other than wondering “how can I get the last few potato chips out of the tube without making my arms dirty.”As it turns out, this salty snack has quite a story. It once was in the middle of a heated argument that questioned the materials and whether the chips

35、were actually potato chips at all.From 2007 to 2009, the makers of the “once-you-pop-you-cant-slop” chips stood in front of three: different levels of the British law department trying to defend the decision that Pringles chips were not by definition potato chips.Heres how this comically complicated

36、 problem started. In the mid-20th century a tax was born called the value-added or VAT tax. This “consumption tax” started off as a 10 percent tax on all goods bought from a business. More than 20 percent of the worlds tax income comes from the value-added tax making it a pretty big deal.In Britain,

37、 most foods are free from the value-added tax, except for potato chips or “similar products made from the potato, or from potato flour”. This led to a long and hard journey to figure out whether or not Pringles were actually potato chips. If they were ruled as chips, Pringles parent company at the t

38、ime, Procter & Gamble, would must pay a 17.5 percent VAT tax.Procter & Gambles initial argument was that Pringles were not potato chips because they didnt “contain enough potato to have the quality of potatoness”.They also argued Pringles didnt resemble the shape of a potato chip.In 2008, a

39、lower British court agreed and ruled that Pringles were in fact not potato chips, mainly because they contained only 42 percent potato and had “a shape not found in nature”. But just a year later, the Court of Appeal re-examined and changed that decision, calling Procter & Gambles argument that

40、the ingredients of a product didnt define the product “hogwash”.With that decision, the giant company had to pay $160 million in taxes, while, unwillingly, calling their novel potato chips, well, potato chips. And that is the story of Pringles and its brief dance with the world of taxes, junk food a

43、ato chips.B. Pringles are regarded as junk food by British judges.C. Pringles should be fined $160 million to the Court of Appeal.D. Pringles chips contain enough potato and flour.10.

D【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了品客薯片在英国纳税的故事。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Chances are that you probably havent given much thought to that bottle of Pringles other than wondering “how can I

45、 get the last few potato chips out of the tube without making my arms dirty.”(你可能根本就没想过那瓶品客薯片，除了在想“我怎么才能把最后几片薯片从管子里拿出来，而不弄脏胳膊”)”及下文介绍品客在英国纳税的过程可知，在文章开头先引出问题的目的是吸引读者的阅读兴趣。故选A。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“In Britain, most foods are free from the value-added tax, except for potato chips or “similar products ma

46、de from the potato, or from potato flour”. (在英国，大多数食品免征增值税，除了薯片或“用土豆或土豆粉制成的类似产品”)”及最后一句“ If they were ruled as chips, Pringles parent company at the time, Procter & Gamble, would must pay a 17.5 percent VAT tax. (如果他们被判定为薯片。品客薯片的母公司宝洁（Procter & Gamble）必须支付17.5%的增值税)”可知，关于品客是否是薯片存在争议，因为不同的税收将

47、根据不同的判断缴纳。故选C。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In 2008, a lower British court agreed and ruled that Pringles were in fact not potato chips, mainly because they contained only 42 percent potato and had “a shape not found in nature”. But just a year later, the Court of Appeal re-examined and changed that decision

48、, calling Procter & Gambles argument that the ingredients of a product didnt define the product “hogwash”.(2008年，英国下级法院同意并裁定品客实际上不是薯片，主要是因为它们只含有42%的土豆，而且“形状在自然界中没有”。但仅仅一年之后，上诉法院重新审查并改变了这一判决，称宝洁公司认为某种产品的成分不能定义该产品的说法是“废话”)”及最后一段第一句“With that decision, the giant company had to pay $160 million in t

49、axes, while, unwillingly, calling their novel potato chips, well, potato chips.(由于这个决定，这家巨头公司不得不缴纳1.6亿美元的税款，同时，不情愿地，称他们的新薯片为，嗯，薯片)”可知，从最后两段中，我们了解到品客薯片就是薯片。故选A。【10题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，本文第一段通过问题导入，激发读者的兴趣，进而在接下来的内容中描述了品客在英国的纳税的历程，所以本文主要介绍了普林格斯在英国纳税的故事。故选D。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中
