Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．D;3．C;4．A;
解析：

(1)	文章第一段提到They want to hear messages about healthy food也就是人们想了解健康食物(无害)的信息。故本题应选B。
(2)	文章第五段提到It is believed that…In fact, this unnatural food will become a problem in the future, 所以本题应选D。
(3)	文章最后两段中提到“我们不应该被误导认为吃一些价格贵的特别食品就能保持健康，而有时我们需要的大部分营养存在于价格偏低的天然食物中”。所以本题应选C。
