As people express dislike for food they think is overly processed, McDonalds and other chains are trying to keep away from serving reheated meals with chemicals. Recasting (重铸) fast food as “fresh” and “real” will be difficult, in large part because its so universally regarded as cheap and full of fat. Another problem is that terms like “fresh”, “real” and “healthy” have nebulous meanings, making it hard for companies to understand how to make the transformation.One way chains are looking to recast themselves is by reducing chemicals people might find unacceptable. Already, packaged food companies have begun to remove such ingredient. PepsiCo, for example, said it would remove vegetable oil from Gatorade after a teenager noted it isnt approved for use in some markets overseas.And fast-food chains want to jump on the “clean label” trend. Last month, McDonalds declared improvements the company is working on, including the reduction of ingredient labels. This came after the company reported a 4.6 percent drop in U.S. sales for November, worse than two years of struggling performance. Part of the appeal of fast-casual chains is that they position themselves as being higher in quality. Chipotle said sales at some chain shops rose 19.8 percent in the most recent season. And Panera promised to remove artificial colors and flavors from its food by 2016.There are likely many cases where former ingredients could be replaced with natural ones without great cost. Since their functions are different, companies would have to examine recipes product by product. Michele Simon, a public health lawyer also said getting rid of additives (添加剂) here and there wont be enough to change the way people think about fast food. “Thats just rearranging deck (甲板) chairs on the Titanic,” Simon said. 6. What makes it difficult for fast-food chains to be accepted as fresh and real? A. Their long traditions. B. Few materials available. C. Changes in attitudes to food. D. Developments in processing food. 7. The underlined word “nebulous” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “_”. A. wrong B. double C. hiddenD. unclear8. What causes McDonalds to make efforts to change? A. The government commands it to. B. They want to provide healthy food. C. Therere fewer and fewer customers. D. Technology has made great improvements. 9. By “Thats just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic”, Simon means “_”. A. It will fail in no time. B. It will make little difference. C. It will produce an amazing effect. D. It will need lots of time and money. 10. How is the text mainly developed? A. By giving examples. B. By offering analyses.C. By giving descriptions. D. By making comparisons. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There was a time when Whitney didnt have many friends. She was a bit shy.
