27、ed them and found that the criticism that they are punishing the poorest in unfounded.Experts did a survey. They looked at 13 countries: Chile, Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Albania, Poland, Turkey, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Niger, Nigeria, India and Timor-Leste. They found that wealthier families gener

28、ally spend more on alcohol, soft drinks and snacks. In India, for instance, wealthier households spent seven times more on alcohol and three times more on soft drinks and snacks compared to poorer households. So those households end up paying a larger proportion of any tax.On the other hand, taxes h

29、ave a greater impact on the smaller household budgets of poorer families. They respond by buying less, with greater benefits for their health. In the UK, say the authors, the response to the possible introduction of a minimum price for alcohol was estimated to be 7.6 times larger in the poorest hous

30、eholds, compared with the wealthiest.In Mexico, the introduction of a sugary drinks tax resulted in an average of 4.2 litres less of soft drinks purchased per person, with a 17% decrease in purchases among lower income groups and almost no change in higher income groups. In Lebanon, they say, a 50%

31、increase in the price of cigarettes would lead to twice as many people quitting smoking in poorer households as wealthy families.“The evidence suggests that concerns about higher taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and soft drinks harming the poor are overstated,” said Dr Rachel Nugent from RTI International

32、 in Seattle, USA, and chair of the Lancet Taskforce on NCDs and economics.“Some degree of taxation on tobacco is common in many countries, and while we are starting to see progress on alcohol taxes, there is much more governments should be doing in both high and low income countries to consider the

33、careful introduction of taxes on other unhealthy products like soft drinks and snacks. Price policies such as taxes will be a key part of the response to rising rates of non-communicable diseases(慢性非传染病).”The UK sugar tax is a levy on the manufacturers of 18p per litre for drinks containing 5g of su

34、gar per 100ml and 24p on those with 8g per 100ml.Many companies have reformulated their products, often swapping artificial sweeteners for sugar. Some like Coca-Cola have decided to stick to the original recipe and the price will rise, although the bottles and cans will shrink to reduce the impact.3

37、examplesB. telling storiesC. analyzing causes and effectsD. reasoning and concluding参考答案：38. B 39. D 40. A本文是一篇议论文。这篇文章在论述的是：增加某些垃圾食品的税收可以帮助人们改掉一些不好的生活习惯。【38题详解】细节理解题。对每个选项的内容进行对比。根据第三段第一句On the other hand, taxes have a greater impact on the smaller household budgets of poorer families. They respond

38、 by buying less, with greater benefits for their health.根据本句提示可知在一些收入较低家庭，这个税收帮助他们减少垃圾食品的购买，从而保护了自身健康；而人们之所以拒绝购买是因为税收提高迫使他们这么做，易错点A选项warm welcome则表示人们是自觉自愿地去拒绝，因此错误；而C和D根据本句也可以排除。故选B。【39题详解】细节理解题。根据第1小题及文章，人们对此是有相应的行为变化的，人们减少了这些食品的购买，所以排除；B选项根据第二段，某些国家只是将taxes on sugary drinks介绍进他们的国家，B选项以偏概全；C选项错在h

39、ave raised，文章中只是讲到作者在调查税收提高对国家的影响，文章中并没有明确指出国家增加商品价格；D选项定位到原文的最后一段最后一句中，故选D。【40题详解】作者观点题。文章作者提出自己的观点，增加某些垃圾食品的税收可以帮助人们改掉一些不好的生活习惯，后文中的分段都是在论证自己的观点，因此答案选择A（作者通过举例子的方法论证）。18. Skeptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they ar

40、e tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explain

41、why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are simila

42、r to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One nati

43、onal newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a resp

44、ected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)”。A critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inacce
